low_sleep_handler() has an hardcoded restore of segment registers that doesn't take KUAP and KUEP into account. Use head_32's load_segment_registers() routine instead.

cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_SPE) returns false when CONFIG_SPE is not set. There is no need to enclose the test in an #ifdef CONFIG_SPE. Remove it. CPU_FTR_SPE only exists on 32 bits. Define it as 0 on 64 bits. We have a couple of places like: #ifdef CONFIG_SPE if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_SPE)) { do_something_that_requires_CONFIG_SPE } else { return -EINVAL; } #else return -EINVAL; #endif Replace them by a cleaner version: if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_SPE)) { #ifdef CONFIG_SPE do_something_that_requires_CONFIG_SPE #endif } else { return -EINVAL; } When CONFIG_SPE is not set, this resolves to an unconditional return of -EINVAL Signed-off-by: -

We need r1 to be properly set before activating MMU, otherwise any new exception taken while saving registers into the stack in exception prologs will use the user stack, which is wrong and will even lockup or crash when KUAP is selected. Do that by switching the meaning of r11 and r1 until we have saved r1 to the stack: copy r1 into r11 and setup the new stack pointer in r1. To avoid complicating and impacting all generic and specific prolog code (and more), copy back r1 into r11 once r11 is save onto the stack. We could get rid of copying r1 back and forth at the cost of rewriting everything to use r1 instead of r11 all the way when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is set, but the effort is probably not worth it.

We need r1 to be properly set before activating MMU, so reading task_struct->stack must be done with MMU off. This means we need an additional register to play with MSR bits while r11 now points to the stack. For that, move r10 back to CR (As is already done for hash MMU) and use r10. We still don't have r1 correct yet when we activate MMU. It is done in following patch. Fixes: 02847487 ("powerpc/32: prepare for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

__put_user_asm_goto() provides more flexibility to GCC and avoids using a local variable to tell if the write succeeded or not. GCC can then avoid implementing a cmp in the fast path.

The 8xx has 4 page sizes: 4k, 16k, 512k and 8M 4k and 16k can be selected at build time as standard page sizes, and 512k and 8M are hugepages. When 4k standard pages are selected, 16k pages are not available. Allow 16k pages as hugepages when 4k pages are used. To allow that, implement arch_make_huge_pte() which receives the necessary arguments to allow setting the PTE in accordance with the page size: - 512 k pages must have _PAGE_HUGE and _PAGE_SPS. They are set by pte_mkhuge(). arch_make_huge_pte() does nothing. - 16 k pages must have only _PAGE_SPS. arch_make_huge_pte() clears _PAGE_HUGE. Signed-off-by:

On 8xx, the number of entries occupied by a PTE in the page tables depends on the size of the page. At the time being, this calculation is done in two places: in pte_update() and in set_huge_pte_at() Refactor this calculation into a helper called number_of_cells_per_pte(). For the time being, the val param is unused. It will be used by following patch. Instead of opencoding is_hugepd(), use hugepd_ok() with a forward declaration. Signed-off-by:

The commentary at the call site seems to disagree with the code. The conditional prevents calling set_thresholds() via the exception handler, which appears to crash. Perhaps that's because it immediately triggers another TAU exception. Anyway, calling set_thresholds() from TAUupdate() is redundant because tau_timeout() does so.

According to the MPC750 Users Manual, the SITV value in Thermal Management Register 3 is 13 bits long. The present code calculates the SITV value as 60 * 500 cycles. This would overflow to give 10 us on a 500 MHz CPU rather than the intended 60 us. (But according to the Microprocessor Datasheet, there is also a factor of 266 that has to be applied to this value on certain parts i.e. speed sort above 266 MHz.) Always use the maximum cycle count, as recommended by the Datasheet. Fixes: 1da177e4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by:

MAX_PHYSMEM #define is used along with sparsemem to determine the SECTION_SHIFT value. Powerpc also uses the same value to limit the max memory enabled on the system. With 4K PAGE_SIZE and hash translation mode, we want to limit the max memory enabled to 64TB due to page table size restrictions. However, with radix translation, we don't have these restrictions. Hence split the radix and hash MA_PHYSMEM limit and use different limit for each of them. Signed-off-by:

With commit: 0034d395 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range"), we now split the 64TB address range into 4 contexts each of 16TB. That implies we can do only 16TB linear mapping. On some systems, eg. Power9, memory attached to nodes > 0 will appear above 16TB in the linear mapping. This resulted in kernel crash when we boot such systems in hash translation mode with 4K PAGE_SIZE. This patch updates the kernel mapping such that we now start supporting upto 61TB of memory with 4K. The kernel mapping now looks like below 4K PAGE_SIZE and hash translation. vmalloc start = 0xc0003d0000000000 IO start = 0xc0003e0000000000 vmemmap start = 0xc0003f0000000000 Our MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS for 4K is still 64TB even though we can only map 61TB. We prevent bolt mapping anything outside 61TB range by checking against H_VMALLOC_START. Fixes: 0034d395 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range") Reported-by:

Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to the embedding allocator. With 4K hash translation we limit our page table range to 64TB and commit: 0034d395 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the kernel regions in the same 0xc range") moved all kernel mapping to that 64TB range. In-order to support sparse memory layout we need to increase our linear mapping space and reduce other mappings. With such a layout percpu embedded first chunk allocator will fail because of small vmalloc range. Add a fallback to page mapping percpu first chunk allocator for such failures. The below dmesg output can be observed in such case. percpu: max_distance=0x1ffffef00000 too large for vmalloc space 0x10000000000 PERCPU: auto allocator failed (-22), falling back to page size percpu: 40 4K pages/cpu s148816 r0 d15024 Signed-off-by:

There are couple of places where we set len but not hw_len. For ptrace/perf watchpoints, when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=Y, hw_len will be calculated and set internally while parsing watchpoint. But when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, we need to manually set 'hw_len'. Similarly for xmon as well, hw_len needs to be set directly.

On powerpc, ptrace watchpoint works in one-shot mode. i.e. kernel disables event every time it fires and user has to re-enable it. Also, in case of ptrace watchpoint, kernel notifies ptrace user before executing instruction. With CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, kernel is missing to disable ptrace event and thus it's causing infinite loop of exceptions. This is especially harmful when user watches on a data which is also read/written by kernel, eg syscall parameters. In such case, infinite exceptions happens in kernel mode which causes soft-lockup.

Power10 hw has multiple DAWRs but hw doesn't tell which DAWR caused the exception. So we have a sw logic to detect that in hw_breakpoint.c. But hw_breakpoint.c gets compiled only with CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=Y. Move DAWR detection logic outside of hw_breakpoint.c so that it can be reused when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT is not set.

When kernel is compiled with CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, user can still create watchpoint using PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG, with limited functionalities. But, such watchpoints are never firing because of the missing privilege settings. Fix that. It's safe to set HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL because we don't really leak any kernel address in signal info. Setting HW_BRK_TYPE_PRIV_ALL will also help to find scenarios when kernel accesses user memory. Reported-by:

On p10 predecessors, watchpoint with quadword access is compared at quadword length. If the watch range is doubleword or less than that in a first half of quadword aligned 16 bytes, and if there is any unaligned quadword access which will access only the 2nd half, the handler should consider it as extraneous and emulate/single-step it before continuing.

POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protected Execution Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the hypervisor, but they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low addresses since the hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation. This solves a SWIOTLB initialization problem we are seeing in secure guests with 128 GB of RAM: they are configured with 4 GB of crashkernel reserved memory, which leaves no space for SWIOTLB in low addresses. To do this, we use mostly the same code as swiotlb_init(), but allocate the buffer using memblock_alloc() instead of memblock_alloc_low().

When we added the VDSO32 kconfig symbol, which controls building of the 32-bit VDSO, we made it depend on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN (for 64-bit). That was because back then COMPAT was always enabled for 64-bit, so depending on it would have left the 32-bit VDSO always enabled, which we didn't want. But since then we have made COMPAT selectable, and off by default for ppc64le, so VDSO32 should really depend on that. For most people this makes no difference, none of the defconfigs change, it's only if someone is building ppc64le with COMPAT=y, they will now also get VDSO32. If they've enabled COMPAT in order to run 32-bit binaries they presumably also want the 32-bit VDSO. Signed-off-by:

The newly introduced 'perf_stats' attribute uses the default access mode of 0444, allowing non-root users to access performance stats of an nvdimm and potentially force the kernel into issuing a large number of expensive hypercalls. Since the information exposed by this attribute cannot be cached it is better to ward off access to this attribute from users who don't need to access to these performance statistics. Hence update the access mode of 'perf_stats' attribute to be only readable by root users. Fixes: 2d02bf83 ("powerpc/papr_scm: Fetch nvdimm performance stats from PHYP") Reported-by:
