      drivers/macintosh: Fix memleak in windfarm_pm112 driver · 93900337
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      create_cpu_loop() calls smu_sat_get_sdb_partition() which does
kmalloc() and returns the allocated buffer. In fact it's called twice,
and neither buffer is freed.

This results in a memory leak as reported by Erhard:

Fix it by rearranging the logic so we deal with each buffer
separately, which then makes it easy to free the buffer once we're
done with it.

      selftests/powerpc: Add a test of counting larx/stcx · 7481cad4
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      This is based on the count_instructions test.

However this one also counts the number of failed stcx's, and in
conjunction with knowing the size of the stcx loop, can calculate the
total number of instructions executed even in the face of
non-deterministic stcx failures.

      powerpc: Drop unneeded cast in task_pt_regs() · 24ac99e9
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      There's no need to cast in task_pt_regs() as tsk->thread.regs should
already be a struct pt_regs. If someone's using task_pt_regs() on
something that's not a task but happens to have a thread.regs then
we'll deal with them later.

Which was unexpected. The warning is checking the thread.regs->msr
value of the task we are switching from:

  usermsr = tsk->thread.regs->msr;
  ...
  WARN_ON((usermsr & MSR_VSX) && !((usermsr & MSR_FP) && (usermsr & MSR_VEC)));

ie. if MSR_VSX is set then both of MSR_FP and MSR_VEC are also set.

Dumping tsk->thread.regs->msr we see that it's: 0x1db60000

Which is not a normal looking MSR, in fact the only valid bit is
MSR_VSX, all the other bits are reserved in the current definition of
the MSR.

We can see from the oops that it was swapper/0 that we were switching
from when we hit the warning, ie. init_task. So its thread.regs points
to the base (high addresses) in init_stack.

Dumping the content of init_task->thread.regs, with the members of
pt_regs annotated (the 16 bytes larger version), we see:

This looks suspiciously like stack frames, not a pt_regs. If we look
closely we can see return addresses from the stack trace above,
c000000002004820 (start_kernel) and c00000000000c49c (start_here_common).

init_task->thread.regs is setup at build time in processor.h:

  #define INIT_THREAD  { \
  	.ksp = INIT_SP, \
  	.regs = (struct pt_regs *)INIT_SP - 1, /* XXX bogus, I think */ \

The early boot code where we setup the initial stack is:

  LOAD_REG_ADDR(r3,init_thread_union)

  /* set up a stack pointer */
  LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r1,THREAD_SIZE)
  add	r1,r3,r1
  li	r0,0
  stdu	r0,-STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(r1)

Which creates a stack frame of size 112 bytes (STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD).
Which is far too small to contain a pt_regs.

So the result is init_task->thread.regs is pointing at some stack
frames on the init stack, not at a pt_regs.

We have gotten away with this for so long because with pt_regs at its
current size the MSR happens to point into the first frame, at a
location that is not written to by the early asm. With the 16 byte
expansion the MSR falls into the second frame, which is used by the
compiler, and collides with a saved register that tends to be
non-zero.

As far as I can see this has been wrong since the original merge of
64-bit ppc support, back in 2002.

Conceptually swapper should have no regs, it never entered from
userspace, and in fact that's what we do on 32-bit. It's also
presumably what the "bogus" comment is referring to.

So I think the right fix is to just not-initialise regs at all. I'm
slightly worried this will break some code that isn't prepared for a
NULL regs, but we'll have to see.

Remove the comment in head_64.S which refers to us setting up the
regs (even though we never did), and is otherwise not really accurate
any more.

      powerpc/mm: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array · 02bddf21
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored 
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

      powerpc: Use trap metadata to prevent double restart rather than zeroing trap · 4e0e45b0
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      It's not very nice to zero trap for this, because then system calls no
longer have trap_is_syscall(regs) invariant, and we can't distinguish
between sc and scv system calls (in a later patch).

Take one last unused bit from the low bits of the pt_regs.trap word
for this instead. There is not a really good reason why it should be
in trap as opposed to another field, but trap has some concept of
flags and it exists. Ideally I think we would move trap to 2-byte
field and have 2 more bytes available independently.

Add a selftests case for this, which can be seen to fail if
trap_norestart() is changed to return false.

      powerpc: Use set_trap() and avoid open-coding trap masking · db30144b
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      The pt_regs.trap field keeps 4 low bits for some metadata about the
trap or how it was handled, which is masked off in order to test the
architectural trap number.

Add a set_trap() accessor to set this, equivalent to TRAP() for
returning it. This is actually not quite the equivalent of TRAP()
because it always clears the low bits, which may be harmless if
it can only be updated via ptrace syscall, but it seems dangerous.

In fact settting TRAP from ptrace doesn't seem like a great idea
so maybe it's better deleted.

Why we need to do IPI when clearing PMD entries:
This was added as part of commit: 13bd817b ("powerpc/thp: Serialize pmd clear against a linux page table walk")

serialize_against_pte_lookup makes sure that all parallel lockless
page table walk completes before we convert a PMD pte entry to regular
pmd entry. We end up doing that conversion in the below scenarios

1) __split_huge_zero_page_pmd
2) do_huge_pmd_wp_page_fallback
3) MADV_DONTNEED running parallel to page faults.

local_irq_disable and lockless page table walk:

The lockless page table walk work with the assumption that we can
dereference the page table contents without holding a lock. For this
to work, we need to make sure we read the page table contents
atomically and page table pages are not going to be freed/released
while we are walking the table pages. We can achieve by using a rcu
based freeing for page table pages or if the architecture implements
broadcast tlbie, we can block the IPI as we walk the page table pages.

To support both the above framework, lockless page table walk is done
with irq disabled instead of rcu_read_lock()

We do have two interface for lockless page table walk, gup fast and
__find_linux_pte. This patch series makes __find_linux_pte table walk
safe against the conversion of PMD PTE to regular PMD.

gup fast:

gup fast is already safe against THP split because kernel now
differentiate between a pmd split and a compound page split. gup fast
can run parallel to a pmd split and we prevent a parallel gup fast to
a hugepage split, by freezing the page refcount and failing the
speculative page ref increment.

Similar to how gup is safe against parallel pmd split, this patch
series updates the __find_linux_pte callers to be safe against a
parallel pmd split. We do that by enforcing the following rules.

1) Don't reload the pte value, because that can be updated in
   parallel.
2) Code should be able to work with a stale PTE value and not the
   recent one. ie, the pte value that we are looking at may not be the
   latest value in the page table.
3) Before looking at pte value check for _PAGE_PTE bit. We now do this
as part of pte_present() check.

Performance:

This speeds up Qemu guest RAM del/unplug time as below
128 core, 496GB guest:

Without patch:
  munmap start: timer = 13162 ms, PID=7684
  munmap finish: timer = 95312 ms, PID=7684 - delta = 82150 ms

With patch (upto removing IPI)
  munmap start: timer = 196449 ms, PID=6681
  munmap finish: timer = 196488 ms, PID=6681 - delta = 39ms

With patch (with adding the tlb invalidate in pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full)
  munmap start: timer = 196345 ms, PID=6879
  munmap finish: timer = 196714 ms, PID=6879 - delta = 369ms
