The space in the head section is rather constrained by the fact that exception vectors are spread every 0x100 bytes and sometimes we need to have "out of line" code because it doesn't fit. Now that we are enabling MMU early in the prolog, take that opportunity to jump somewhere else in the .text section where we don't have any space constraint.

For consistency, add in the macro the label used by exception prolog to branch to stack overflow processing. While at it, enclose the macro in #ifdef CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on the 8xx as already done on book3s/32.

The check of the emergency context initialisation in vmap_stack_overflow is buggy for the SMP case, as it compares r1 with 0 while in the SMP case r1 is offseted by the CPU id. Instead of fixing it, just perform static initialisation of the first emergency context.

On 40x and 8xx, kernel text is pinned. On book3s/32, kernel text is mapped by BATs. Enable instruction translation at the same time as data translation, it makes things simpler. In syscall handler, MSR_RI can also be set at the same time because srr0/srr1 are already saved and r1 is set properly. On booke, translation is always on, so at the end all PPC32 have translation on early. Just update msr. Also update comment in power_save_ppc32_restore().

8xx requires to tag the DAR with a magic value in order to fixup DAR on faults generated by 'dcbX', as the 8xx forgets to update the DAR for those faults.

If the code can use a stack in vm area, it can also use a stack in linear space. Simplify code by removing old non VMAP stack code on PPC32. That means the data translation is now re-enabled early in exception prolog in all cases, not only when using VMAP stacks. While we are touching EXCEPTION_PROLOG macros, remove the unused for_rtas parameter in EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1.

ksp_limit is there to help detect stack overflows. That is specific to ppc32 as it was removed from ppc64 in commit cbc9565e ("powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64"). There are other means for detecting stack overflows. As ppc64 has proven to not need it, ppc32 should be able to do without it too. Lets remove it and simplify exception handling.

Ensure normal exception handler are able to manage stuff with MMU enabled. For that we use CONFIG_VMAP_STACK related code allthough there is no intention to really activate CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on powerpc 40x for the moment. 40x uses SPRN_DEAR instead of SPRN_DAR and SPRN_ESR instead of SPRN_DSISR. Take it into account in common macros. 40x MSR value doesn't fit on 15 bits, use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() in common macros that will be used also with 40x.

There is no intention to use CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on 40x, but related code will be used to enable MMU early in exception in a later patch.

SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH5 is used to save SPRN_PID. SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH6 is already available. SPRN_PID is only 8 bits. We have r12 that contains CR. We only need to preserve CR0, so we have space available in r12 to save PID. Keep PID in r12 and free up SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH5. Then In TLB miss handlers, instead of using SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH0 and SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH1, use SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH5 and SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH6 to avoid future conflicts with normal exception prologs.

unrecoverable_exception() is never expected to return, most callers have an infiniteloop in case it returns. Ensure it really never returns by terminating it with a BUG(), and declare it __no_return. It always GCC to really simplify functions calling it. In the exemple below, it avoids the stack frame in the likely fast path and avoids code duplication for the exit.

As per ISA 3.1, prefixed instruction should not cross 64-byte boundary. So don't allow Uprobe on such prefixed instruction. There are two ways probed instruction is changed in mapped pages. First, when Uprobe is activated, it searches for all the relevant pages and replace instruction in them. In this case, if that probe is on the 64-byte unaligned prefixed instruction, error out directly. Second, when Uprobe is already active and user maps a relevant page via mmap(), instruction is replaced via mmap() code path. But because Uprobe is invalid, entire mmap() operation can not be stopped. In this case just print an error and continue.

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: Christopher M.

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".

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. This patch shows to put the performance of the qspinlock back to par with that of the simple lock: simple-spinlock vanilla dirty Hmean 14 73.50 ( 0.00%) 54.44 * -25.93%* 73.45 * -0.07%* Hmean 100 654.47 ( 0.00%) 385.61 * -41.08%* 771.43 * 17.87%* Hmean 300 2719.39 ( 0.00%) 2181.67 * -19.77%* 2666.50 * -1.94%* Hmean 500 4400.59 ( 0.00%) 3390.77 * -22.95%* 4322.14 * -1.78%* Hmean 850 6726.21 ( 0.00%) 5264.03 * -21.74%* 6863.12 * 2.04%* 3. dbench (tmpfs) Configured to run with up to ncpusx8 clients, it shows both latency and throughput metrics. For the latency, with the exception of the 64 case, there is really nothing to go by: vanilla dirty Amean latency-1 1.67 ( 0.00%) 1.67 * 0.09%* Amean latency-2 2.15 ( 0.00%) 2.08 * 3.36%* Amean latency-4 2.50 ( 0.00%) 2.56 * -2.27%* Amean latency-8 2.49 ( 0.00%) 2.48 * 0.31%* Amean latency-16 2.69 ( 0.00%) 2.72 * -1.37%* Amean latency-32 2.96 ( 0.00%) 3.04 * -2.60%* Amean latency-64 7.78 ( 0.00%) 8.17 * -5.07%* Amean latency-512 186.91 ( 0.00%) 186.41 * 0.27%* For the dbench4 Throughput (misleading but traditional) there's a small but rather constant improvement: vanilla dirty Hmean 1 849.13 ( 0.00%) 851.51 * 0.28%* Hmean 2 1664.03 ( 0.00%) 1663.94 * -0.01%* Hmean 4 3073.70 ( 0.00%) 3104.29 * 1.00%* Hmean 8 5624.02 ( 0.00%) 5694.16 * 1.25%* Hmean 16 9169.49 ( 0.00%) 9324.43 * 1.69%* Hmean 32 11969.37 ( 0.00%) 12127.09 * 1.32%* Hmean 64 15021.12 ( 0.00%) 15243.14 * 1.48%* Hmean 512 14891.27 ( 0.00%) 15162.11 * 1.82%* Measuring the dbench4 Per-VFS Operation latency, shows some very minor differences within the noise level, around the 0-1% ranges.

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.

Use user access block in gpr32_set_common() instead of repetitive __get_user() which imply repetitive KUAP open/close. To get it clean, force inlining of the small set of tiny functions called inside the block.

copy_mc_xxx() functions are in the middle of raw_copy functions. For clarity, move them out of the raw_copy functions block. They are using access_ok, so they need to be after the general functions in order to eventually allow the inclusion of asm-generic/uaccess.h in some future.
