      ftrace: Match dot symbols when searching functions on ppc64 · 7132e2d6
      Thiago Jung Bauermann authored 
      In the ppc64 big endian ABI, function symbols point to function
descriptors. The symbols which point to the function entry points
have a dot in front of the function name. Consequently, when the
ftrace filter mechanism searches for the symbol corresponding to
an entry point address, it gets the dot symbol.

As a result, ftrace filter users have to be aware of this ABI detail on
ppc64 and prepend a dot to the function name when setting the filter.

The perf probe command insulates the user from this by ignoring the dot
in front of the symbol name when matching function names to symbols,
but the sysfs interface does not. This patch makes the ftrace filter
mechanism do the same when searching symbols.

Fixes the following failure in ftracetest's kprobe_ftrace.tc:

  .../kprobe_ftrace.tc: line 9: echo: write error: Invalid argument

That failure is on this line of kprobe_ftrace.tc:

  echo _do_fork > set_ftrace_filter

This is because there's no _do_fork entry in the functions list:

  # cat available_filter_functions | grep _do_fork
  ._do_fork

This change introduces no regressions on the perf and ftracetest
testsuite results.

      powerpc: Add support for userspace P9 copy paste · 8a649045
      Chris Smart authored 
      The copy paste facility introduced in POWER9 provides an optimised
mechanism for a userspace application to copy a cacheline. This is
provided by a pair of instructions, copy and paste, while a third,
cp_abort (copy paste abort), provides a clean up of the state in case of
a failure.

The copy instruction will read a 128 byte cacheline and store it in an
internal buffer. The subsequent paste instruction will store this
internal buffer to memory and set a CR field if the paste succeeds.

Since the state of the copy paste buffer is internal (and not
architecturally visible), in the unlikely event of a context switch, the
state cannot be stored and the paste should therefore fail.

The cp_abort instruction exists to fail and clean up any such
interrupted copy paste sequence and is to be called by the kernel as
part of the context switch. Doing so prevents data from a preceding copy
in one process leaking into the paste of another.

This code enables use of the cp_abort instruction if a supported
processor is detected.

NOTE: this is for userspace only, not in kernel, and does not deal
with KVM guests.

      cxl: Fix DAR check & use REGION_ID instead of opencoding · 3b1dbfa1
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored 
      The current code will set _PAGE_USER to the access flags for any
fault address, because the ~ operation will be true for all address we
take a fault on. But setting _PAGE_USER also means that the fault will
be handled only if the page table have _PAGE_USER set. Hence there is
no security hole with the current code.

Now if it is an user space access, then the change in this patch really
don't have an impact because we have (!ctx->kernel) set true
and we take the if condition true.

Now kernel context created fault on an address in the kernel range
will result in a fault loop because we will not insert the
hash pte due to access and pte permission mismatch. This patch fix
the above issue.

      The __end_handlers marker was intended to mark down upto code that gets

changes. Case in point, slb_miss_realmode being called from exception
prolog code but isn't below __end_handlers marker. So, __end_handlers
marker is as good as a comment but could be misleading at times if it
isn't in sync with the code, as is the case now. So, let us avoid this
confusion by having a better comment and removing __end_handlers marker
altogether.

      powerpc/book3s64: Fix branching to OOL handlers in relocatable kernel · 8ed8ab40
      Hari Bathini authored 
      Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only
32 bytes long (8 instructions), which is not enough for the full
first-level interrupt handler. For these we need to branch to an
out-of-line (OOL) handler. But when we are running a relocatable kernel,
interrupt vectors till __end_interrupts marker are copied down to real
address 0x100. So, branching to labels (ie. OOL handlers) outside this
section must be handled differently (see LOAD_HANDLER()), considering
relocatable kernel, which would need at least 4 instructions.

However, branching from interrupt vector means that we corrupt the
CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors as
mentioned in commit 1707dd16. So, EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 (6 instructions)
that contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the
PACA should be part of the short interrupt vectors before we branch out
to OOL handlers.

But as mentioned already, there are interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER
server processors that are only 32 bytes long (like vectors 0x4f00,
0x4f20, etc.), which cannot accomodate the above two cases at the same
time owing to space constraint. Currently, in these interrupt vectors,
we simply branch out to OOL handlers, without using LOAD_HANDLER(),
which leaves us vulnerable when running a relocatable kernel (eg. kdump
case). While this has been the case for sometime now and kdump is used
widely, we were fortunate not to see any problems so far, for three
reasons:

  1. In almost all cases, production kernel (relocatable) is used for
     kdump as well, which would mean that crashed kernel's OOL handler
     would be at the same place where we end up branching to, from short
     interrupt vector of kdump kernel.
  2. Also, OOL handler was unlikely the reason for crash in almost all
     the kdump scenarios, which meant we had a sane OOL handler from
     crashed kernel that we branched to.
  3. On most 64-bit POWER server processors, page size is large enough
     that marking interrupt vector code as executable (see commit
     429d2e83) leads to marking OOL handler code from crashed kernel,
     that sits right below interrupt vector code from kdump kernel, as
     executable as well.

Let us fix this by moving the __end_interrupts marker down past OOL
handlers to make sure that we also copy OOL handlers to real address
0x100 when running a relocatable kernel.

This fix has been tested successfully in kdump scenario, on an LPAR with
4K page size by using different default/production kernel and kdump
kernel.

Also tested by manually corrupting the OOL handlers in the first kernel
and then kdump'ing, and then causing the OOL handlers to fire - mpe.

      powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support on ppc64le · 85baa095
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      Add the kconfig logic & assembly support for handling live patched
functions. This depends on DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, which in turn
depends on the new -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI, which is only supported
currently on ppc64le.

Live patching is handled by a special ftrace handler. This means it runs
from ftrace_caller(). The live patch handler modifies the NIP so as to
redirect the return from ftrace_caller() to the new patched function.

However there is one particularly tricky case we need to handle.

If a function A calls another function B, and it is known at link time
that they share the same TOC, then A will not save or restore its TOC,
and will call the local entry point of B.

When we live patch B, we replace it with a new function C, which may
not have the same TOC as A. At live patch time it's too late to modify A
to do the TOC save/restore, so the live patching code must interpose
itself between A and C, and do the TOC save/restore that A omitted.

An additionaly complication is that the livepatch code can not create a
stack frame in order to save the TOC. That is because if C takes > 8
arguments, or is varargs, A will have written the arguments for C in
A's stack frame.

To solve this, we introduce a "livepatch stack" which grows upward from
the base of the regular stack, and is used to store the TOC & LR when
calling a live patched function.

When the patched function returns, we retrieve the real LR & TOC from
the livepatch stack, restore them, and pop the livepatch "stack frame".

      powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info · 5d31a96e
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.

Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.

This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

      When livepatch tries to patch a function it takes the function address
and asks ftrace to install the livepatch handler at that location.
ftrace will look for an mcount call site at that exact address.

On powerpc the mcount location is not the first instruction of the
function, and in fact it's not at a constant offset from the start of
the function. To accommodate this add a hook which arch code can
override to customise the behaviour.
