Currently, we assume that the function pointer we receive in ppc_function_entry() points to a function descriptor. However, this is not always the case. In particular, assembly symbols without the right annotation do not have an associated function descriptor. Some of these symbols are added to the kprobe blacklist using _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(). When such addresses are subsequently processed through arch_deref_entry_point() in populate_kprobe_blacklist(), we see the below errors during bootup: [ 0.663963] Failed to find blacklist at 7d9b02a648029b6c [ 0.663970] Failed to find blacklist at a14d03d0394a0001 [ 0.663972] Failed to find blacklist at 7d5302a6f94d0388 [ 0.663973] Failed to find blacklist at 48027d11e8610178 [ 0.663974] Failed to find blacklist at f8010070f8410080 [ 0.663976] Failed to find blacklist at 386100704801f89d [ 0.663977] Failed to find blacklist at 7d5302a6f94d00b0 Fix this by checking if the function pointer we receive in ppc_function_entry() already points to kernel text. If so, we just return it as is. If not, we assume that this is a function descriptor and proceed to dereference it. Suggested-by:Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:

This patch exports a in-kernel 'library' API which can be called by other drivers to help interacting with an IBM XSL on a POWER9 system. The XSL (Translation Service Layer) is a stripped down version of the PSL (Power Service Layer) used in some cards such as the Mellanox CX5. Like the PSL, it implements the CAIA architecture, but has a number of differences, mostly in it's implementation dependent registers. The XSL also uses a special DMA cxl mode, which uses a slightly different init sequence for the CAPP and PHB. Signed-off-by:

There's an H24x7_DATA_BUFFER_SIZE constant, so use it in init_24x7_request. There's also an HV_PERF_DOMAIN_MAX constant, so use it in h_24x7_event_init. This makes the comment above the check redundant, so remove it. In add_event_to_24x7_request, a statement is terminated with a comma instead of a semicolon. Fix it. In hv-24x7.h, improve comments in struct hv_24x7_result. Signed-off-by:

The H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE hcall can return a signed error code, so fix this in the code. The H_GET_24X7_DATA hcall can return a signed error code, so fix this in the code. Also, don't truncate it to 32 bit to use as return value for make_24x7_request. In case of error h_24x7_event_commit_txn passes that return value to generic code, so it should be a proper errno. The other caller of make_24x7_request is single_24x7_request, whose callers don't actually care which error code is returned so they are not affected by this change. Finally, h_24x7_get_value doesn't use the error code from single_24x7_request, so there's no need to store it. Reviewed-by:

Thiago Jung Bauermann authored
make_24x7_request already calls log_24x7_hcall if it fails, so callers don't have to do it again. In fact, since the latter is now only called from the former, there's no need for a separate log_24x7_hcall anymore so remove it. Reviewed-by:

hv-24x7.h has a comment mentioning that result_buffer->results can't be indexed as a normal array because it may contain results of variable sizes, so fix the loop in h_24x7_event_commit_txn to take the variation into account when iterating through results. Another problem in that loop is that it sets h24x7hw->events[i] to NULL. This assumes that only the i'th result maps to the i'th request, but that is not guaranteed to be true. We need to leave the event in the array so that we don't dereference a NULL pointer in case more than one result maps to one request. We still assume that each result has only one result element, so warn if that assumption is violated. Reviewed-by:

request_buffer can hold 254 requests, so if it already has that number of entries we can't add a new one. Also, define constant to show where the number comes from. Fixes: e3ee15dc ("powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Define add_event_to_24x7_request()") Reviewed-by:

H_GET_24X7_CATALOG_PAGE needs to be passed the version number obtained from the first catalog page obtained previously. This is a 64 bit number, but create_events_from_catalog truncates it to 32-bit. This worked on POWER8, but POWER9 actually uses the upper bits so the call fails with H_P3 because the hypervisor doesn't recognize the version. This patch also adds the hcall return code to the error message, which is helpful when debugging the problem.

Current busy-wait loops are implemented by repeatedly calling cpu_relax() to give an arch option for a low-latency option to improve power and/or SMT resource contention. This poses some difficulties for powerpc, which has SMT priority setting instructions (priorities determine how ifetch cycles are apportioned). powerpc's cpu_relax() is implemented by setting a low priority then setting normal priority. This has several problems: - Changing thread priority can have some execution cost and potential impact to other threads in the core. It's inefficient to execute them every time around a busy-wait loop. - Depending on implementation details, a `low ; medium` sequence may not have much if any affect. Some software with similar pattern actually inserts a lot of nops between, in order to cause a few fetch cycles with the low priority. - The busy-wait loop runs with regular priority. This might only be a few fetch cycles, but if there are several threads running such loops, they could cause a noticable impact on a non-idle thread. Implement spin_begin, spin_end primitives that can be used around busy wait loops, which default to no-ops. And spin_cpu_relax which defaults to cpu_relax. This will allow architectures to hook the entry and exit of busy-wait loops, and will allow powerpc to set low SMT priority at entry, and normal priority at exit. Suggested-by:

pnv_wakeup_noloss() expects r12 to contain SRR1 value to determine if the wakeup reason is an HMI in CHECK_HMI_INTERRUPT. When we wakeup with ESL=0, SRR1 will not contain the wakeup reason, so there is no point setting r12 to SRR1. However, we don't set r12 at all so r12 contains garbage (likely a kernel pointer), and is still used to check HMI assuming that it contained SRR1. This causes the OPAL msglog to be filled with the following print: HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x0040000000000000 This patch clears r12 after waking up from stop with ESL=EC=0, so that we don't accidentally enter the HMI handler in pnv_wakeup_noloss() if the value of r12[42:45] corresponds to HMI as wakeup reason. Prior to commit 9d292501 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle sleep/wake paths") this bug existed, in that we would incorrectly look at SRR1 to check for a HMI when SRR1 didn't contain a wakeup reason. However the SRR1 value would just happen to never have bits 42:45 set. Fixes: 9d292501 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle sleep/wake paths") Signed-off-by:

The at24 driver allows to register I2C EEPROM chips using different vendor and devices, but the I2C subsystem does not take the vendor into account when matching using the I2C table since it only has device entries. But when matching using an OF table, both the vendor and device has to be taken into account so the driver defines only a set of compatible strings using the "atmel" vendor as a generic fallback for compatible I2C devices. So add this generic fallback to the device node compatible string to make the device to match the driver using the OF device ID table. Signed-off-by:

Around 95% of memory is reserved by fadump/capture kernel. All this memory is freed, one page at a time, on writing '1' to the node /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem. On systems with large memory, this can take a long time to complete, leading to soft lockup warning messages. To avoid this, add reschedule points at regular intervals. Also, while memblock_reserve() implicitly takes care of holes in the given memory range while reserving memory, those holes need to be taken care of while releasing memory as memory is freed one page at a time. Add support to skip holes while releasing memory. Suggested-by:

To register fadump, boot memory area - the size of low memory chunk that is required for a kernel to boot successfully when booted with restricted memory, is assumed to have no holes. But this memory area is currently not protected from hot-remove operations. So, fadump could fail to re-register after a memory hot-remove operation, if memory is removed from boot memory area. To avoid this, ensure that memory from boot memory area is not hot-removed when fadump is registered. Signed-off-by:
