In the recent commit 8b78fdb0 ("powerpc/time: Use clockevents_register_device(), fixing an issue with large decrementer") we changed the way we initialise the decrementer clockevent(s). We no longer initialise the mult & shift values of decrementer_clockevent itself. This has the effect of breaking PR KVM, because it uses those values in kvmppc_emulate_dec(). The symptom is guest kernels spin forever mid-way through boot. For now fix it by assigning back to decrementer_clockevent the mult and shift values.

I'm pretty sure this is dead code, it's only used by the a.out core dump code, and we don't support a.out. We should remove it. But while it's in the tree it should be using the ABI version of pt_regs which is called user_pt_regs in the kernel, because the whole struct is written to the core dump and so its size shouldn't change. Note this isn't a uapi header so we don't need an ifdef. Fixes: 002af939 ("powerpc: Split user/kernel definitions of struct pt_regs") Signed-off-by:

My recent patch to split pt_regs between user and kernel missed the usage in struct sigcontext. Because this is a user visible struct it should be using the user visible definition, which when we're building for the kernel is called struct user_pt_regs. As far as I can see this hasn't actually caused a bug (yet), because we don't use the sizeof() the sigcontext->regs anywhere. But we should still fix it to avoid confusion and future bugs.

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74 ("powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most of the arch Makefiles. At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim. So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to add it to any new sub-dirs. Signed-off-by:

This is a nice cleanup, arch/powerpc/Makefile is long and messy so moving this out helps a little. It also allows us to do: $ make arch/powerpc Which can be helpful if you just want to compile test some changes to arch code and not link everything. Finally it also gives us a single place to do subdir-cc-flags assignments which affect the whole of arch/powerpc, which we will do in a future patch. Signed-off-by: -

Adds a driver that implements support for enabling and accessing PAPR SCM regions. Unfortunately due to how the PAPR interface works we can't use the existing of_pmem driver (yet) because: a) The guest is required to use the H_SCM_BIND_MEM h-call to add add the SCM region to it's physical address space, and b) There is currently no mechanism for relating a bare of_pmem region to the backing DIMM (or not-a-DIMM for our case). Both of these are easily handled by rolling the functionality into a seperate driver so here we are... Acked-by:Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

Book3e defines both _PAGE_USER and _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, so the nohash default pte_mkprivileged() and pte_mkuser() are not usable. This patch redefines them for book3e. In theorie, only pte_mkprivileged() needs to be redefined because _PAGE_USER includes _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, but it is less confusing to redefine both.

Currently we limit the max addressable memory to 128TB. This patch increase the limit to 2PB. We can have devices like nvdimm which adds memory above 512TB limit. We still don't support regular system ram above 512TB. One of the challenge with that is the percpu allocator, that allocates per node memory and use the max distance between them as the percpu offsets. This means with large gap in address space ( system ram above 1PB) we will run out of vmalloc space to map the percpu allocation. In order to support addressable memory above 512TB, kernel should be able to linear map this range. To do that with hash translation we now add 4 context to kernel linear map region. Our per context addressable range is 512TB. We still keep VMALLOC and VMEMMAP region to old size. SLB miss handlers is updated to validate these limit. We also limit this update to SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and SPARSEMEM_EXTREME Signed-off-by:

This adds CONFIG_DEBUG_VM checks to ensure: - The kernel stack is in the SLB after it's flushed and bolted. - We don't insert an SLB for an address that is aleady in the SLB. - The kernel SLB miss handler does not take an SLB miss. Signed-off-by:

slb_flush_and_rebolt() is misleading, it is called in virtual mode, so it can not possibly change the stack, so it should not be touching the shadow area. And since vmalloc is no longer bolted, it should not change any bolted mappings at all. Change the name to slb_flush_and_restore_bolted(), and have it just load the kernel stack from what's currently in the shadow SLB area. Signed-off-by:

When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads. Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused. Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that is an obvious win for common workloads. With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%). POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not see a big gain like POWER9. Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary loading. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves SLB miss handlers completely to C, using the standard exception handler macros to set up the stack and branch to C. This can be done because the segment containing the kernel stack is always bolted, so accessing it with relocation on will not cause an SLB exception. Arbitrary kernel memory must not be accessed when handling kernel space SLB misses, so care should be taken there. However user SLB misses can access any kernel memory, which can be used to move some fields out of the paca (in later patches). User SLB misses could quite easily reconcile IRQs and set up a first class kernel environment and exit via ret_from_except, however that doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment, so we only do that if a bad fault is encountered.

PPR is the odd register out when it comes to interrupt handling, it is saved in current->thread.ppr while all others are saved on the stack. The difficulty with this is that accessing thread.ppr can cause a SLB fault, but the SLB fault handler implementation in C change had assumed the normal exception entry handlers would not cause an SLB fault. Fix this by allocating room in the interrupt stack to save PPR. Signed-off-by:

Now that we've split the user & kernel versions of pt_regs we need to be more careful in the ptrace code. For now we've ensured the location of the fields in both structs is the same, so most of the ptrace code doesn't need updating. But there are a few places where we use sizeof(pt_regs), and these will be wrong as soon as we increase the size of the kernel structure. So flip them all to use sizeof(user_pt_regs).

We use a shared definition for struct pt_regs in uapi/asm/ptrace.h. That means the layout of the structure is ABI, ie. we can't change it. That would be fine if it was only used to describe the user-visible register state of a process, but it's also the struct we use in the kernel to describe the registers saved in an interrupt frame. We'd like more flexibility in the content (and possibly layout) of the kernel version of the struct, but currently that's not possible. So split the definition into a user-visible definition which remains unchanged, and a kernel internal one. At the moment they're still identical, and we check that at build time. That's because we have code (in ptrace etc.) that assumes that they are the same. We will fix that code in future patches, and then we can break the strict symmetry between the two structs.
