Commit 0962e800 ("powerpc/prom: Scan reserved-ranges node for memory reservations") enabled support to parse reserved-ranges DT node and reserve kernel memory falling in these ranges for F/W purposes. Memory reserved for FADump should not overlap with these ranges as it could corrupt memory meant for F/W or crash'ed kernel memory to be exported as vmcore. But since commit 579ca1a2 ("powerpc/fadump: make use of memblock's bottom up allocation mode"), memblock_find_in_range() is being used to find the appropriate area to reserve memory for FADump, which can't account for reserved-ranges as these ranges are reserved only after FADump memory reservation. With reserved-ranges now being populated during early boot, look out for these memory ranges while reserving memory for FADump. Without this change, MPIPL on PowerNV systems aborts with hostboot failure, when memory reserved for FADump is less than 4096MB.

At times, memory ranges have to be looked up during early boot, when kernel couldn't be initialized for dynamic memory allocation. In fact, reserved-ranges look up is needed during FADump memory reservation. Without accounting for reserved-ranges in reserving memory for FADump, MPIPL boot fails with memory corruption issues. So, extend memory ranges handling to support static allocation and populate reserved memory ranges during early boot.

Currently, it is possible to have CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER disabled, but CONFIG_MPROFILE_KERNEL enabled. Though all existing users of MPROFILE_KERNEL are doing the right thing, it is weird to have MPROFILE_KERNEL enabled when the function tracer isn't. Fix this by making MPROFILE_KERNEL depend on FUNCTION_TRACER. Signed-off-by:

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the [S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle. The total PURR and SPURR ticks are already exposed via the per-cpu sysfs files "purr" and "spurr". This patch adds support for exposing the idle PURR and SPURR ticks via new per-cpu sysfs files named "idle_purr" and "idle_spurr". This patch also adds helper functions to accurately read the values of idle_purr and idle_spurr especially from an interrupt context between when the interrupt has occurred between the pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog(). This will ensure that the idle purr/spurr values corresponding to the latest idle period is accounted for before these values are read. Signed-off-by:

On Pseries LPARs, to calculate utilization, we need to know the [S]PURR ticks when the CPUs were busy or idle. Via pseries_idle_prolog(), pseries_idle_epilog(), we track the idle PURR ticks in the VPA variable "wait_state_cycles". This patch extends the support to account for the idle SPURR ticks.

Currently when CPU goes idle, we take a snapshot of PURR via pseries_idle_prolog() which is used at the CPU idle exit to compute the idle PURR cycles via the function pseries_idle_epilog(). Thus, the value of idle PURR cycle thus read before pseries_idle_prolog() and after pseries_idle_epilog() is always correct. However, if we were to read the idle PURR cycles from an interrupt context between pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() (this will be done in a future patch), then, the value of the idle PURR thus read will not include the cycles spent in the most recent idle period. Thus, in that interrupt context, we will need access to the snapshot of the PURR before going idle, in order to compute the idle PURR cycles for the latest idle duration. In this patch, we save the snapshot of PURR in pseries_idle_prolog() in a per-cpu variable, instead of on the stack, so that it can be accessed from an interrupt context. Signed-off-by:

Currently prior to entering an idle state on a Linux Guest, the pseries cpuidle driver implement an idle_loop_prolog() and idle_loop_epilog() functions which ensure that idle_purr is correctly computed, and the hypervisor is informed that the CPU cycles have been donated. These prolog and epilog functions are also required in the default idle call, i.e pseries_lpar_idle(). Hence move these accessor functions to a common header file and call them from pseries_lpar_idle(). Since the existing header files such as asm/processor.h have enough clutter, create a new header file asm/idle.h. Finally rename idle_loop_prolog() and idle_loop_epilog() to pseries_idle_prolog() and pseries_idle_epilog() as they are only relavent for on pseries guests. Signed-off-by:

As described by Haren: Power9 processor supports Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS) which allows kernel and userspace to send compression requests to Nest Accelerator (NX) directly. The NX unit comprises of 2 842 compression engines and 1 GZIP engine. Linux kernel already has 842 compression support on kernel. This patch series adds GZIP compression support from user space. The GZIP Compression engine implements the ZLIB and GZIP compression algorithms. No plans of adding NX-GZIP compression support in kernel right now. Applications can send requests to NX directly with COPY/PASTE instructions. But kernel has to establish channel / window on NX-GZIP device for the userspace. So userspace access to the GZIP engine is provided through /dev/crypto/nx-gzip device with several operations. An application must open the this device to obtain a file descriptor (fd). Using the fd, application should issue the VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to establish a connection to the engine. Once window is opened, should use mmap() system call to map the hardware address of engine's request queue into the application's virtual address space. Then user space forms the request as co-processor Request Block (CRB) and paste this CRB on the mapped HW address using COPY/PASTE instructions. Application can poll on status flags (part of CRB) with timeout for request completion. For VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl, if user space passes vas_id = -1 (struct vas_tx_win_open_attr), kernel determines the VAS instance on the corresponding chip based on the CPU on which the process is executing. Otherwise, the specified VAS instance is used if application passes the proper VAS instance (vas_id listed in /proc/device-tree/vas@*/ibm,vas_id). Process can open multiple windows with different FDs or can send several requests to NX on the same window at the same time.

As described by Haren: On Power9, Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS) allows user space or kernel to communicate with Nest Accelerator (NX) directly using COPY/PASTE instructions. NX provides various functionalities such as compression, encryption and etc. But only compression (842 and GZIP formats) is supported in Linux kernel on power9. 842 compression driver (drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842-powernv.c) is already included in Linux. Only GZIP support will be available from user space. Applications can issue GZIP compression / decompression requests to NX with COPY/PASTE instructions. When NX is processing these requests, can hit fault on the request buffer (not in memory). It issues an interrupt and pastes fault CRB in fault FIFO. Expects kernel to handle this fault and return credits for both send and fault windows after processing. This patch series adds IRQ and fault window setup, and NX fault handling: - Alloc IRQ and trigger port address, and configure IRQ per VAS instance. - Set port# for each window to generate an interrupt when noticed fault. - Set fault window and FIFO on which NX paste fault CRB. - Setup IRQ thread fault handler per VAS instance. - When receiving an interrupt, Read CRBs from fault FIFO and update coprocessor_status_block (CSB) in the corresponding CRB with translation failure (CSB_CC_TRANSLATION). After issuing NX requests, process polls on CSB address. When it sees translation error, can touch the request buffer to bring the page in to memory and reissue NX request. - If copy_to_user fails on user space CSB address, OS sends SEGV signal.

On power9, userspace can send GZIP compression requests directly to NX once kernel establishes NX channel / window with VAS. This patch provides user space API which allows user space to establish channel using open VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl, mmap and close operations. Each window corresponds to file descriptor and application can open multiple windows. After the window is opened, VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN icoctl to open a window on specific VAS instance, mmap() system call to map the hardware address of engine's request queue into the application's virtual address space. Then the application can then submit one or more requests to the the engine by using the copy/paste instructions and pasting the CRBs to the virtual address (aka paste_address) returned by mmap(). Only NX GZIP coprocessor type is supported right now and allow GZIP engine access via /dev/crypto/nx-gzip device node. Thanks to Michael Ellerman for his changes and suggestions to make the ioctl generic to support any coprocessor type. Signed-off-by:

set_thread_uses_vas() sets used_vas flag for a process that opened VAS window and issue CP_ABORT during context switch for only that process. In multi-thread application, windows can be shared. For example Thread A can open a window and Thread B can run COPY/PASTE instructions to send NX request which may cause corruption or snooping or a covert channel Also once this flag is set, continue to run CP_ABORT even the VAS window is closed. So define vas-windows counter in process mm_context, increment this counter for each window open and decrement it for window close. If vas-windows is set, issue CP_ABORT during context switch. It means clear the foreign real address mapping only if the process / thread uses COPY/PASTE. Then disable it for that process if windows are not open. Moved set_thread_uses_vas() code to vas_tx_win_open() as this functionality is needed only for userspace open windows. We are adding VAS userspace support along with this fix. So no need to include this fix in stable releases. Fixes: 9d2a4d71 ("powerpc: Define set_thread_uses_vas()") Signed-off-by:

NX uses credit mechanism to control the number of requests issued on a specific window at any point of time. Only send windows and fault window are used credits. When the request is issued on a given window, a credit is taken. This credit will be returned after that request is processed. If credits are not available, returns RMA_Busy for send window and RMA_Reject for fault window. NX expects OS to return credit for send window after processing fault CRB. Also credit has to be returned for fault window after handling the fault. Signed-off-by:

Applications polls on CSB for the status update after requests are issued. NX process these requests and update the CSB with the status. If it encounters translation error, pastes CRB in fault FIFO and raises an interrupt. The kernel handles fault by reading CRB from fault FIFO and process the fault CRB. For each fault CRB, update fault address in CRB (fault_storage_addr) and translation error status in CSB so that user space can touch the fault address and resend the request. If the user space passed invalid CSB address send signal to process with SIGSEGV. In the case of multi-thread applications, child thread may not be available. So if the task is not running, send signal to tgid. Signed-off-by:

When NX encounters translation error on CRB and any request buffer, raises an interrupt on the CPU to handle the fault. It can raise one interrupt for multiple faults. Expects OS to handle these faults and return credits for fault window after processing faults. Setup thread IRQ handler and IRQ thread function per each VAS instance. IRQ handler checks if the thread is already woken up and can handle new faults. If so returns with IRQ_HANDLED, otherwise wake up thread to process new faults. The thread functions reads each CRB entry from fault FIFO until sees invalid entry. After reading each CRB, determine the corresponding send window using pswid (from CRB) and process fault CRB. Then invalidate the entry and return credit. Processing fault CRB and return credit is described in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by:

When process opens a window, its pid and tgid will be saved in the vas_window struct. This window will be closed when the process exits. The kernel handles NX faults by updating CSB or send SEGV signal to pid of the process if the userspace csb addr is invalid. In multi-thread applications, a window can be opened by a child thread, but it will not be closed when this thread exits. It is expected that the parent will clean up all resources including NX windows opened by child threads. A child thread can send NX requests using this window and could be killed before completion is reported. If the pid assigned to this thread is reused while requests are pending, a failure SEGV would be directed to the wrong place. To prevent reusing the pid, take references to pid and mm when the window is opened and release them when when the window is closed. Then if child thread is not running, SEGV signal will be sent to thread group leader (tgid). Signed-off-by:
