The fallback RFI flush is used when firmware does not provide a way to flush the cache. It's a "displacement flush" that evicts useful data by displacing it with an uninteresting buffer. The flush has to take care to work with implementation specific cache replacment policies, so the recipe has been in flux. The initial slow but conservative approach is to touch all lines of a congruence class, with dependencies between each load. It has since been determined that a linear pattern of loads without dependencies is sufficient, and is significantly faster. Measuring the speed of a null syscall with RFI fallback flush enabled gives the relative improvement: P8 - 1.83x P9 - 1.75x The flush also becomes simpler and more adaptable to different cache geometries.

Platforms with a panic handler that halts the system can have problems getting kernel messages out, because the panic notifiers are called before kernel/panic.c does its flushing of printk buffers an console etc. This was attempted to be solved with commit a3b2cb30 ("powerpc: Do not call ppc_md.panic in fadump panic notifier"), but that wasn't the right approach and caused other problems, and was reverted by commit ab9dbf77. Instead, the powernv shutdown paths have already had a similar problem, fixed by taking the message flushing sequence from kernel/panic.c. That's a little bit ugly, but while we have the code duplicated, it will work for this case as well. So have ppc panic handlers do the same flushing before they terminate. Without this patch, a qemu pseries_le_defconfig guest stops silently when issued the nmi command when xmon is off and no crash dumpers enabled. Afterwards, an oops is printed by each CPU as expected.

Add a selftest to check if endianness is flipped inadvertently to BE (MSR.LE set to zero) on BE and LE machines when a trap is caught in transactional mode and load_fp and load_vec are zero, i.e. when MSR.FP and MSR.VEC are zeroed (disabled).

Currently it's possible that a thread on PPC64 LE has its endianness flipped inadvertently to Big-Endian resulting in a crash once the process is back from the signal handler. If giveup_all() is called when regs->msr has the bits MSR.FP and MSR.VEC disabled (and hence MSR.VSX disabled too) it returns without calling check_if_tm_restore_required() which copies regs->msr to ckpt_regs->msr if the process caught a signal whilst in transactional mode. Then once in setup_tm_sigcontexts() MSR from ckpt_regs.msr is used, but since check_if_tm_restore_required() was not called previuosly, gp_regs[PT_MSR] gets a copy of invalid MSR bits as MSR in ckpt_regs was not updated from regs->msr and so is zeroed. Later when leaving the signal handler once in sys_rt_sigreturn() the TS bits of gp_regs[PT_MSR] are checked to determine if restore_tm_sigcontexts() must be called to pull in the correct MSR state into the user context. Because TS bits are zeroed restore_tm_sigcontexts() is never called and MSR restored from the user context on returning from the signal handler has the MSR.LE (the endianness bit) forced to zero (Big-Endian). That leads, for instance, to 'nop' being treated as an illegal instruction in the following sequence: tbegin. beq 1f trap tend. 1: nop on PPC64 LE machines and the process dies just after returning from the signal handler. PPC64 BE is also affected but in a subtle way since forcing Big-Endian on a BE machine does not change the endianness. This commit fixes the issue described above by ensuring that once in setup_tm_sigcontexts() the MSR used is from regs->msr instead of from ckpt_regs->msr and by ensuring that we pull in only the MSR.FP, MSR.VEC, and MSR.VSX bits from ckpt_regs->msr. The fix was tested both on LE and BE machines and no regression regarding the powerpc/tm selftests was observed.

During a kdump kernel boot in PowerPC, we request a reset of the PHBs to the FW. It makes sense, since if we are booting a kdump kernel it means we had some trouble before and we cannot rely in the adapters' health; they could be in a bad state, hence the reset is needed. But this reset is useful not only in kdump - there are situations, specially when debugging drivers, that we could break an adapter in a way it requires such reset. One can tell to just go ahead and reboot the machine, but happens that many times doing kexec is much faster, and so preferable than a full power cycle. This patch adds the ppc_pci_reset_phbs parameter to perform such reset. Signed-off-by: Guilherme G. Piccoli <gpiccoli@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

As of 438cc81a "powerpc/pseries: Automatically resize HPT for memory hot add/remove" when running on the pseries platform, we always attempt to use the PAPR extension to resize the hashed page table (HPT) when we add or remove memory. This is fine, but when the extension is available we'll give a harmless, but scary warning. This patch suppresses the warning in this case. It will still warn if the feature is supposed to be available, but didn't work. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Symbolic macros are unintuitive and hard to read, whereas octal constants are much easier to interpret. Replace macros for the basic permission flags (user/group/other read/write/execute) with numeric constants instead, across the whole powerpc tree. Introducing a significant number of changes across the tree for no runtime benefit isn't exactly desirable, but so long as these macros are still used in the tree people will keep sending patches that add them. Not only are they hard to parse at a glance, there are multiple ways of coming to the same value (as you can see with 0444 and 0644 in this patch) which hurts readability.

One of the easiest way to test config with 4K HPTE is to disable 64K hardware page size like below. int __init htab_dt_scan_page_sizes(unsigned long node, size -= 3; prop += 3; base_idx = get_idx_from_shift(base_shift); - if (base_idx < 0) { + if (base_idx < 0 || base_idx == MMU_PAGE_64K) { /* skip the pte encoding also */ prop += lpnum * 2; size -= lpnum * 2; But then this results in error in other part of the code such as MPSS parsing where we look at 4K base page size and 64K actual page size support. This patch fix MPSS parsing by ignoring the actual page sizes marked unsupported. In reality this can happen only with a corrupt device tree. But it is good to tighten the error check.

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle. Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged, notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged. There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict. And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero. However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the platform supported disable-execution-access. Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet. Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by consulting the PowerISA3.0 This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform. Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution access support for pkeys. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> [mpe: Use a PVR check instead of CPU_FTR for execute.
