While mapping hints with a length that cross 128TB are disallowed,
MAP_FIXED allocations that cross 128TB are allowed. These are failing
on hash (on radix they succeed). Add an additional case for fixed
mappings to expand the addr_limit when crossing 128TB.

Hash unconditionally resets the addr_limit to default (128TB) when the
mm context is initialised. If a process has > 128TB mappings when it
forks, the child will not get the 512TB addr_limit, so accesses to
valid > 128TB mappings will fail in the child.
Fix this by only resetting the addr_limit to default if it was 0. Non
zero indicates it was duplicated from the parent (0 means exec()).

When allocating VA space with a hint that crosses 128TB, the SLB
addr_limit variable is not expanded if addr is not > 128TB, but the
slice allocation looks at task_size, which is 512TB. This results in
slice_check_fit() incorrectly succeeding because the slice_count
truncates off bit 128 of the requested mask, so the comparison to the
available mask succeeds.
Fix this by using mm->context.addr_limit instead of mm->task_size for
testing allocation limits. This causes such allocations to fail.

Currently userspace is able to request mmap() search between 128T-512T
by specifying a hint address that is greater than 128T. But that means
a hint of 128T exactly will return an address below 128T, which is
confusing and wrong.
So fix the logic to check the hint is greater than *or equal* to 128T.

Commit 398a719d34a1 ("powerpc/mm: Update bits used to skip hash_page")
mistakenly dropped the DSISR_DABRMATCH bit from the mask of bit tested
to skip trying to hash a page.
As a result, the DABR matches would no longer be detected.
This adds it back. We open code it in the 2 places where it matters
rather than fold it into DSISR_BAD_FAULT_32S/64S because this isn't
technically a bad fault and while we would never hit it with the
current code, I prefer if page_fault_is_bad() didn't trigger on these.

When a uprobe is installed on an instruction that we currently do not
emulate, we copy the instruction into a xol buffer and single step
that instruction. If that instruction generates a fault, we abort the
single stepping before invoking the signal handler. Once the signal
handler is done, the uprobe trap is hit again since the instruction is
retried and the process repeats.
We use uprobe_deny_signal() to detect if the xol instruction triggered
a signal. If so, we clear TIF_SIGPENDING and set TIF_UPROBE so that the
signal is not handled until after the single stepping is aborted. In
this case, uprobe_deny_signal() returns true and get_signal() ends up
returning 0. However, in do_signal(), we are not looking at the return
value, but depending on ksig.sig for further action, all with an
uninitialized ksig that is not touched in this scenario. Fix the same
by initializing ksig.sig to 0.

are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)

When using the radix MMU on Power9 DD1, to work around a hardware
problem, radix__pte_update() is required to do a two stage update of
the PTE. First we write a zero value into the PTE, then we flush the
TLB, and then we write the new PTE value.
In the normal case that works OK, but it does not work if we're
updating the PTE that maps the code we're executing, because the
mapping is removed by the TLB flush and we can no longer execute from
it. Unfortunately the STRICT_RWX code needs to do exactly that.
The exact symptoms when we hit this case vary, sometimes we print an
oops and then get stuck after that, but I've also seen a machine just
get stuck continually page faulting with no oops printed. The variance
is presumably due to the exact layout of the text and the page size
used for the mappings. In all cases we are unable to boot to a shell.
There are possible solutions such as creating a second mapping of the
TLB flush code, executing from that, and then jumping back to the
original. However we don't want to add that level of complexity for a
DD1 work around.
So just detect that we're running on Power9 DD1 and refrain from
changing the permissions, effectively disabling STRICT_RWX on Power9
DD1.

But since CP_ABORT is expensive, we want to restrict it to only

we use the global vas_mutex for now, since it is not heavily contended.
The window->cop field is only relevant to a receive window so we were

anyway). But to simplify reporting in debugfs, set the 'cop' field for the

The single page flush ceiling is the cut-off point at which we switch
from invalidating individual pages, to invalidating the entire process
address space in response to a range flush.
Introduce a local variant of this heuristic because local and global
tlbie have significantly different properties:
- Local tlbiel requires 128 instructions to invalidate a PID, global
tlbie only 1 instruction.
- Global tlbie instructions are expensive broadcast operations.
The local ceiling has been made much higher, 2x the number of
instructions required to invalidate the entire PID (i.e., 256 pages).
Time to mprotect N pages of memory (after mmap, touch), local invalidate:
N 32 34 64 128 256 512
vanilla 7.4us 9.0us 14.6us 26.4us 50.2us 98.3us
patched 7.4us 7.8us 13.8us 26.4us 51.9us 98.3us
The behaviour of both is identical at N=32 and N=512. Between there,
the vanilla kernel does a PID invalidate and the patched kernel does
a va range invalidate.
At N=128, these require the same number of tlbiel instructions, so
the patched version can be sen to be cheaper when < 128, and more
expensive when > 128. However this does not well capture the cost
of invalidated TLB.
The additional cost at 256 pages does not seem prohibitive. It may
be the case that increasing the limit further would continue to be
beneficial to avoid invalidating all of the process's TLB entries.

Currently for radix, flush_tlb_range flushes the entire PID, because
the Linux mm code does not tell us about page size here for THP vs
regular pages. This is quite sub-optimal for small mremap / mprotect
/ change_protection.
So implement va range flushes with two flush passes, one for each
page size (regular and THP). The second flush has an order of matnitude
fewer tlbie instructions than the first, so it is a relatively small
additional cost.
There is still room for improvement here with some changes to generic
APIs, particularly if there are mostly THP pages to be invalidated,
the small page flushes could be reduced.
Time to mprotect 1 page of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 2.9us 1.8us
patched 1.2us 1.6us
Time to mprotect 30 pages of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 8.2us 7.2us
patched 6.9us 17.9us
Time to mprotect 34 pages of memory (after mmap, touch):
vanilla 9.1us 8.0us
patched 9.0us 8.0us
34 pages is the point at which the invalidation switches from va
to entire PID, which tlbie can do in a single instruction. This is
why in the case of 30 pages, the new code runs slower for this test.
This is a deliberate tradeoff already present in the unmap and THP
promotion code, the idea is that the benefit from avoiding flushing
entire TLB for this PID on all threads in the system.

Short range flushes issue a sequences of tlbie(l) instructions for

Commit f7327e0ba3 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Remove unnecessary ptesync")
made a similar optimization for tlbiel for PID flushing.
For tlbie, the ISA says:
The tlbsync instruction provides an ordering function for the
effects of all tlbie instructions executed by the thread executing
the tlbsync instruction, with respect to the memory barrier
created by a subsequent ptesync instruction executed by the same

DMA windows can only have a size of power of two on IODA2 hardware and
using memory_hotplug_max() to determine the upper limit won't work
correcly if it returns not power of two value.
This removes the check as the platform code does this check in
pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_default_config() anyway; the other client is VFIO
and that thing checks against locked_vm limit which prevents the userspace
from locking too much memory.
It is expected to impact DPDK on machines with non-power-of-two RAM size,
mostly. KVM guests are less likely to be affected as usually guests get
less than half of hosts RAM.

The call to /proc/cpuinfo in turn calls cpufreq_quick_get() which
returns the last frequency requested by the kernel, but may not
reflect the actual frequency the processor is running at. This patch
makes a call to cpufreq_get() instead which returns the current
frequency reported by the hardware.

DD2.1 does not have to save MMCR0 for all state-loss idle states,
only after deep idle states (like other PMU registers).

DD2.1 does not have to flush the ERAT after a state-loss idle.
Performance testing was done on a DD2.1 using only the stop0 idle state
(the shallowest state which supports state loss), using context_switch
selftest configured to ping-poing between two threads on the same core
and two different cores.
Performance improvement for same core is 7.0%, different cores is 14.8%.

After handling a transactional FP, Altivec or VSX unavailable exception.
The return to userspace code will detect that the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is
set and call restore_tm_state(). restore_tm_state() will call
restore_math() to ensure that the correct facilities are loaded.
This means that all the loadup code in {fp,altivec,vsx}_unavailable_tm()
is doing pointless work and can simply be removed.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as
required (by way of an FP/Altivec unavailable exception). Transactional
Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
tm_reclaim() has optimisations to not always save the FP/Altivec
registers to the checkpointed save area. This was originally done
because the caller might have information that the checkpointed
registers aren't valid due to lazy save and restore. We've also been a
little vague as to how tm_reclaim() leaves the FP/Altivec state since it
doesn't necessarily always save it to the thread struct. This has lead
to an (incorrect) assumption that it leaves the checkpointed state on
the CPU.
tm_recheckpoint() has similar optimisations in reverse. It may not
always reload the checkpointed FP/Altivec registers from the thread
struct before the trecheckpoint. It is therefore quite unclear where it
expects to get the state from. This didn't help with the assumption
made about tm_reclaim().
These optimisations sit in what is by definition a slow path. If a
process has to go through a reclaim/recheckpoint then its transaction
will be doomed on returning to userspace. This mean that the process
will be unable to complete its transaction and be forced to its failure
handler. This is already an out if line case for userspace. Furthermore,
the cost of copying 64 times 128 bits from registers isn't very long[0]
(at all) on modern processors. As such it appears these optimisations
have only served to increase code complexity and are unlikely to have
had a measurable performance impact.
Our transactional memory handling has been riddled with bugs. A cause
of this has been difficulty in following the code flow, code complexity
has not been our friend here. It makes sense to remove these
optimisations in favour of a (hopefully) more stable implementation.
This patch does mean that some times the assembly will needlessly save
'junk' registers which will subsequently get overwritten with the
correct value by the C code which calls the assembly function. This
small inefficiency is far outweighed by the reduction in complexity for
general TM code, context switching paths, and transactional facility
unavailable exception handler.
0: I tried to measure it once for other work and found that it was
hiding in the noise of everything else I was working with. I find it
exceedingly likely this will be the case here.
