UAMOR values are not application-specific. The kernel initializes its value based on different reserved keys. Remove the thread-specific UAMOR value and don't switch the UAMOR on context switch. Move UAMOR initialization to key initialization code and remove thread_struct.uamor because it is not used anymore. Before commit: 4a4a5e5d ("powerpc/pkeys: key allocation/deallocation must not change pkey registers") we used to update uamor based on key allocation and free.

As we kexec across kernels that use AMR/IAMR for different purposes we need to ensure that new kernels get kexec'd with a reset value of AMR/IAMR. For ex: the new kernel can use key 0 for kernel mapping and the old AMR value prevents access to key 0. This patch also removes reset if IAMR and AMOR in kexec_sequence. Reset of AMOR is not needed and the IAMR reset is partial (it doesn't do the reset on secondary cpus) and is redundant with this patch.

To enable memory unplug without splitting kernel page table mapping, we force the max mapping size to the LMB size. LMB size is the unit in which hypervisor will do memory add/remove operation. Pseries systems supports max LMB size of 256MB. Hence on pseries, we now end up mapping memory with 2M page size instead of 1G. To improve that we want hypervisor to hint the kernel about the hotplug memory range. That was added that as part of commit b6eca183 ("powerpc/kernel: Enables memory hot-remove after reboot on pseries guests") But PowerVM doesn't provide that hint yet. Once we get PowerVM updated, we can then force the 2M mapping only to hot-pluggable memory region using memblock_is_hotpluggable(). Till then let's depend on LMB size for finding the mapping page size for linear range. With this change KVM guest will also be doing linear mapping with 2M page size. The actual TLB benefit of mapping guest page table entries with hugepage size can only be materialized if the partition scoped entries are also using the same or higher page size. A guest using 1G hugetlbfs backing guest memory can have a performance impact with the above change.

We split the page table mapping on memory unplug if the linear range was mapped with huge page mapping (for ex: 1G) The page table splitting code has a few issues: 1. Recursive locking -------------------- Memory unplug path takes cpu_hotplug_lock and calls stop_machine() for splitting the mappings. However stop_machine() takes cpu_hotplug_lock again causing deadlock. 2. BUG: sleeping function called from in_atomic() context --------------------------------------------------------- Memory unplug path (remove_pagetable) takes init_mm.page_table_lock spinlock and later calls stop_machine() which does wait_for_completion() 3. Bad unlock unbalance ----------------------- Memory unplug path takes init_mm.page_table_lock spinlock and calls stop_machine(). The stop_machine thread function runs in a different thread context (migration thread) which tries to release and reaquire ptl. Releasing ptl from a different thread than which acquired it causes bad unlock unbalance. These problems can be avoided if we avoid mapping hot-plugged memory with 1G mapping, thereby removing the need for splitting them during unplug. The kernel always make sure the minimum unplug request is SUBSECTION_SIZE for device memory and SECTION_SIZE for regular memory. In preparation for such a change remove page table splitting support.

We wouldn't have initialized the PMD or PTE fragment count for those PMD or PTE pages. This can be fixed by allocating memory in PAGE_SIZE granularity during early page table allocation. This makes sure a specific page is not shared for another memblock allocation and we can free them correctly on removing page-table pages. Since we now do PAGE_SIZE allocations for both PUD table and PMD table (Note that PTE table allocation is already of PAGE_SIZE), we end up allocating more memory for the same amount of system RAM. Here is a comparision of how much more we need for a 64T and 2G system after this patch: 1. 64T system ------------- 64T RAM would need 64G for vmemmap with struct page size being 64B. 128 PUD tables for 64T memory (1G mappings) 1 PUD table and 64 PMD tables for 64G vmemmap (2M mappings) With default PUD[PMD]_TABLE_SIZE(4K), (128+1+64)*4K=772K With PAGE_SIZE(64K) table allocations, (128+1+64)*64K=12352K 2. 2G system ------------ 2G RAM would need 2M for vmemmap with struct page size being 64B. 1 PUD table for 2G memory (1G mapping) 1 PUD table and 1 PMD table for 2M vmemmap (2M mappings) With default PUD[PMD]_TABLE_SIZE(4K), (1+1+1)*4K=12K With new PAGE_SIZE(64K) table allocations, (1+1+1)*64K=192K Signed-off-by: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200709131925.922266-2-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com

The device-tree properties to check secure and trusted boot state are different for guests (pseries) compared to baremetal (powernv). This patch updates the existing is_ppc_secureboot_enabled() and is_ppc_trustedboot_enabled() functions to add support for pseries. For pseries the secureboot and trustedboot state are exposed via device-tree properties /ibm,secure-boot and /ibm,trusted-boot. The values of ibm,secure-boot under pseries are interpreted as: 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled in Log-only mode. This patch interprets this value as disabled, since audit mode is currently not supported for Linux. 2 - Enabled and enforced. 3-9 - Enabled and enforcing; requirements are at the discretion of the operating system.

When we enter into fadump crash path via system reset we fail to update the pstore. On the system reset path we first update the pstore then we go for fadump crash. But the problem here is when all the CPUs try to get the pstore lock to initiate the pstore write, only one CPUs will acquire the lock and proceed with the pstore write. Since it in NMI context CPUs that fail to get lock do not wait for their turn to write to the pstore and simply proceed with the next operation which is fadump crash. One of the CPU who proceeded with fadump crash path triggers the crash and does not wait for the CPU who gets the pstore lock to complete the pstore update.

A barrier is added to make sure all the secondary CPUs hit the crash_fadump function before we initiates the crash. A timeout is kept to ensure the primary CPU (one who initiates the crash) do not wait for secondary CPUs indefinitely.

Generic code has a wrapper to implement cputime_to_nsecs() on top of cputime_to_usecs() but we can easily return the full nanosecond resolution directly.

Lots of PPC_INST_* macros are used only ever in PPC_* macros, fold those PPC_INST_* into PPC_RAW_* to avoid using PPC_INST_* accidentally.
