Usually sigset_t is exactly 8B which is a "trivial" size and does not warrant using __copy_from_user(). Use __get_user() directly in anticipation of future work to remove the trivial size optimizations from __copy_from_user(). The ppc32 implementation of get_sigset_t() previously called copy_from_user() which, unlike __copy_from_user(), calls access_ok(). Replacing this w/ __get_user() (no access_ok()) is fine here since both callsites in signal_32.c are preceded by an earlier access_ok(). Signed-off-by:

Add uaccess blocks and use the 'unsafe' versions of functions doing user access where possible to reduce the number of times uaccess has to be opened/closed. There is no 'unsafe' version of copy_siginfo_to_user, so move it slightly to allow for a "longer" uaccess block. Co-developed-by:

Previously restore_sigcontext() performed a costly KUAP switch on every uaccess operation. These repeated uaccess switches cause a significant drop in signal handling performance. Rewrite restore_sigcontext() to assume that a userspace read access window is open by replacing all uaccess functions with their 'unsafe' versions. Modify the callers to first open, call unsafe_restore_sigcontext(), and then close the uaccess window. Signed-off-by:

Both rt_sigreturn() and handle_rt_signal_64() contain TM-related ifdefs which break-up an if/else block. Provide stubs for the ifdef-guarded TM functions and remove the need for an ifdef in rt_sigreturn(). Rework the remaining TM ifdef in handle_rt_signal64() similar to commit f1cf4f93 ("powerpc/signal32: Remove ifdefery in middle of if/else"). Unlike in the commit for ppc32, the ifdef can't be removed entirely since uc_transact in sigframe depends on CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM. Signed-off-by:

Christopher M. Riedl authored
Unlike the other MSR_TM_* macros, MSR_TM_ACTIVE does not reference or use its parameter unless CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is defined. This causes an 'unused variable' compile warning unless the variable is also guarded with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM. Reference but do nothing with the argument in the macro to avoid a potential compile warning. Signed-off-by:

The majority of setup_sigcontext() can be refactored to execute in an "unsafe" context assuming an open uaccess window except for some non-inline function calls. Move these out into a separate prepare_setup_sigcontext() function which must be called first and before opening up a uaccess window. Non-inline function calls should be avoided during a uaccess window for a few reasons: - KUAP should be enabled for as much kernel code as possible. Opening a uaccess window disables KUAP which means any code executed during this time contributes to a potential attack surface. - Non-inline functions default to traceable which means they are instrumented for ftrace. This adds more code which could run with KUAP disabled. - Powerpc does not currently support the objtool UACCESS checks. All code running with uaccess must be audited manually which means: less code -> less work -> fewer problems (in theory). A follow-up commit converts setup_sigcontext() to be "unsafe". Signed-off-by:

49a7d46a (powerpc: Implement smp_cond_load_relaxed()) added busy-waiting pausing with a preferred SMT priority pattern, lowering the priority (reducing decode cycles) during the whole loop slowpath. However, data shows that while this pattern works well with simple spinlocks, queued spinlocks benefit more being kept in medium priority, with a cpu_relax() instead, being a low+medium combo on powerpc. Data is from three benchmarks on a Power9: 9008-22L 64 CPUs with 2 sockets and 8 threads per core. 1. locktorture. This is data for the lowest and most artificial/pathological level, with increasing thread counts pounding on the lock. Metrics are total ops/minute. Despite some small hits in the 4-8 range, scenarios are either neutral or favorable to this patch. +=========+==========+==========+=======+ | # tasks | vanilla | dirty | %diff | +=========+==========+==========+=======+ | 2 | 46718565 | 48751350 | 4.35 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 4 | 51740198 | 50369082 | -2.65 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 8 | 63756510 | 62568821 | -1.86 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 16 | 67824531 | 70966546 | 4.63 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 32 | 53843519 | 61155508 | 13.58 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 64 | 53005778 | 53104412 | 0.18 | +---------+----------+----------+-------+ | 128 | 53331980 | 54606910 | 2.39 | +=========+==========+==========+=======+ 2. sockperf (tcp throughput) Here a client will do one-way throughput tests to a localhost server, with increasing message sizes, dealing with the sk_lock.

c6f5d02b (locking/spinlocks/arm64: Remove smp_mb() from arch_spin_is_locked()) made it pretty official that the call semantics do not imply any sort of barriers, and any user that gets creative must explicitly do any serialization. This creativity, however, is nowadays pretty limited: 1. spin_unlock_wait() has been removed from the kernel in favor of a lock/unlock combo. Furthermore, queued spinlocks have now for a number of years no longer relied on _Q_LOCKED_VAL for the call, but any non-zero value to indicate a locked state. There were cases where the delayed locked store could lead to breaking mutual exclusion with crossed locking; such as with sysv ipc and netfilter being the most extreme. 2. The auditing Andrea did in verified that remaining spin_is_locked() no longer rely on such semantics. Most callers just use it to assert a lock is taken, in a debug nature. The only user that gets cute is NOLOCK qdisc, as of: 96009c7d (sched: replace __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit with a spin lock) ... which ironically went in the next day after c6f5d02b. This change replaces test_bit() with spin_is_locked() to know whether to take the busylock heuristic to reduce contention on the main qdisc lock. So any races against spin_is_locked() for archs that use LL/SC for spin_lock() will be benign and not break any mutual exclusion; furthermore, both the seqlock and busylock have the same scope.

The rfi_flush and entry_flush selftests work by using the PM_LD_MISS_L1 perf event to count L1D misses. The value of this event has changed over time: - Power7 uses 0x400f0 - Power8 and Power9 use both 0x400f0 and 0x3e054 - Power10 uses only 0x3e054 Rather than relying on raw values, configure perf to count L1D read misses in the most explicit way available. This fixes the selftests to work on systems without 0x400f0 as PM_LD_MISS_L1, and should change no behaviour for systems that the tests already worked on. The only potential downside is that referring to a specific perf event requires PMU support implemented in the kernel for that platform. Signed-off-by:
