It used to be sufficient just to call pagefault_disable(), because that
also disabled preemption. But the two were decoupled in commit 8222dbe2
("sched/preempt, mm/fault: Decouple preemption from the page fault
logic") in mid 2015.

So add the missing preempt_disable/enable(). We should also call
disable_kernel_fp(), although it does nothing by default, there is a
debug switch to make it active and all enables should be paired with
disables.

Commit 4c6d9acc ("powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl") converted local
TLB invalidates to global if the cxl driver is active. This is necessary
because the CAPP snoops invalidations to forward them to the PSL on the
cxl adapter. However one path was forgotten. native_flush_hash_range()
still does local TLB invalidates, as found out the hard way recently.

This patch fixes it by following the same logic as previously: if the
cxl driver is active, the local TLB invalidates are 'upgraded' to
global.

When the kernel is compiled to use 64bit ABIv2 the _GLOBAL() macro does
not include a global entry point. A function's global entry point is
used when the function is called from a different TOC context and in the
kernel this typically means a call from a module into the vmlinux (or
vice-versa).

There are a few exported asm functions declared with _GLOBAL() and
calling them from a module will likely crash the kernel since any TOC
relative load will yield garbage.

flush_icache_range() and flush_dcache_range() are both exported to
modules, and use the TOC, so must use _GLOBAL_TOC().

In the past, there was only one load-with-reservation instruction,
lwarx, and if a program attempted a lwarx on a misaligned address, it
would take an alignment interrupt and the kernel handler would emulate
it as though it was lwzx, which was not really correct, but benign since
it is loading the right amount of data, and the lwarx should be paired
with a stwcx. to the same address, which would also cause an alignment
interrupt which would result in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

We now have 5 different sizes of load-with-reservation instruction. Of
those, lharx and ldarx cause an immediate SIGBUS by luck since their
entries in aligninfo[] overlap instructions which were not fixed up, but
lqarx overlaps with lhz and will be emulated as such. lbarx can never
generate an alignment interrupt since it only operates on 1 byte.

To straighten this out and fix the lqarx case, this adds code to detect
the l[hwdq]arx instructions and return without fixing them up, resulting
in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

On Power8 & Power9 the early CPU inititialisation in __init_HFSCR()
turns on HFSCR[TM] (Hypervisor Facility Status and Control Register
[Transactional Memory]), but that doesn't take into account that TM
might be disabled by CPU features, or disabled by the kernel being built
with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n.

So later in boot, when we have setup the CPU features, clear HSCR[TM] if
the TM CPU feature has been disabled. We use CPU_FTR_TM_COMP to account
for the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n case.

Without this a KVM guest might try use TM, even if told not to, and
cause an oops in the host kernel. Typically the oops is seen in
__kvmppc_vcore_entry() and may or may not be fatal to the host, but is
always bad news.

In practice all shipping CPU revisions do support TM, and all host
kernels we are aware of build with TM support enabled, so no one should
actually be able to hit this in the wild.

The changes to enable building with a separate output directory, in
commit a8ba798b ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT") broke
building the powerpc selftests on their own, eg:

 $ cd tools/testing/selftests/powerpc; make

It was partially fixed in commit e53aff45 ("selftests: lib.mk Fix
individual test builds"), which defined OUTPUT for standalone tests. But
that only defines OUTPUT within the Makefile, the value is not exported
so sub-shells can't see it. We could export OUTPUT, but it's actually

We concluded there may be a window where the idle wakeup code could get
to pnv_wakeup_tb_loss() (which clobbers non-volatile GPRs), but the
hardware may set SRR1[46:47] to 01b (no state loss) which would result
in the wakeup code failing to restore non-volatile GPRs.

I was not able to trigger this condition with trivial tests on real
hardware or simulator, but the ISA (at least 2.07) seems to allow for
it, and Gautham says that it can happen if there is an exception pending
when the sleep/winkle instruction is executed.

the slice just before (n-1) doesn't have any vPHB bus associated with

With state == pci_channel_io_perm_failure, the adapter will be removed

This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a

actually problematic afaik.

I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since
I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there.  I suspect
the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about

Instead of putting cmd_time_out under ../target/core/user_0/foo/control,
which has historically been used by parameters needed for initial

a backend device attribute.

In order to do this, tcmu_module_init() has been updated to create

the existing passthrough_attrib_attrs along with the new cmd_time_out
attribute.  Once **tcm_attrs has been setup, go ahead and point
it at tcmu_ops->tb_dev_attrib_attrs so it's picked up by target-core.

Also following MNC's previous change, ->cmd_time_out is stored in

and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
not get updated with the second calls state.

2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
completion that will never be called.

To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.

Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple
threads call core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt at the same time. I think

If tcmu-runner is processing a STPG and needs to change the kernel's

call into target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store->
core_alua_do_port_transition -> core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt ->
queue_work. In this case, the tmr is on the work queue waiting for
the STPG to complete, but the STPG transition is now queued behind
the waiting tmr.

Note:
This bug will also be fixed by this patch:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14560.html
which switches the tmr code to use the system workqueues.

For both, I am not sure if we need a dedicated workqueue since
it is not a performance path and I do not think we need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
to make forward progress to free up memory like the block layer does.

We do not setup the LU group for pscsi devices, so if you write
a state to alua_access_state that will cause a transition you will
get a NULL pointer dereference.

This patch will fail attempts to try and transition the path
for backend devices that set the TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA
flag.

This patch allows passthrough backends to use the core/base LIO
ALUA setup and state checks, but still handle the execution of
commands.

This will allow the target_core_user module to execute STPG and RTPG
in userspace, and not have to duplicate the ALUA state checks, path
information (needed so we can check if command is executable on
specific paths) and setup (rtslib sets/updates the configfs ALUA
interface like it does for iblock or file).

For STPG, the target_core_user userspace daemon, tcmu-runner will
still execute the STPG, and to update the core/base LIO state it
will use the existing configfs interface. For RTPG, tcmu-runner
will loop over configfs and/or cache the state.
