When CPUs start and stop the watchdog, they manipulate shared data that is normally protected by the lock. Other CPUs can be running concurrently at this time, so it's a good idea to use locking here to be on the safe side. Remove the barrier which is undocumented and didn't do anything.

When the SMP detector finds other CPUs stuck, it iterates over them and marks them as stuck. This pulls them out of the pending mask and allows the detector to continue with remaining good CPUs (if nmi_watchdog=panic is not enabled). The code to dothat was buggy because when setting a CPU stuck, if the pending mask became empty, it resets it to keep the watchdog running. However the iterator will continue to run over the new pending mask and mark remaining good CPUs sas stuck. Fix this by doing it with cpumask bitwise operations.

When the watchdog decides to panic, it takes the lock and double checks everything (to avoid races with the CPU being unstuck or panic()ed by something else). The exit label was misplaced and would result in all-CPUs backtrace and watchdog panic even in the case that the condition was found to be resolved.

Some code can go into a tight loop calling touch_nmi_watchdog (e.g., stop_machine CPU hotplug code). This can cause contention on watchdog locks particularly if all CPUs with watchdog enabled are spinning in the loops. Avoid this storm of activity by running the watchdog timer callback from this path if we have exceeded the timer period since it was last run.

- Hard-disable interrupts before taking the lock, which prevents soft-NMI re-entrancy and therefore can prevent deadlocks. - Use raw_ variants of local_irq_disable to avoid irq debugging. - When the lock is contended, spin at low SMT priority, using loads only, and with interrupts enabled (where possible). Some stalls have been noticed at high loads that go away with improved locking. There should not be so much locking contention in the first place (which is addressed in a subsequent patch), but locking should still be improved.

In commit 05a4a952 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options"), CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR was split into two separate config options, CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Our defconfigs still have CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y, but that is no longer user selectable, and we don't mention the new options, so we end up with none of them enabled. So update the defconfigs to turn on the new SOFT and HARD options, the end result being the same as what we had previously.

Currently, we use the opal call opal_slw_set_reg() to inform the Sleep-Winkle Engine (SLW) to restore the contents of some of the Hypervisor state on wakeup from deep idle states that lose full hypervisor context (characterized by the flag OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT). However, the current code has a bug in that if opal_slw_set_reg() fails, we don't disable the use of these deep states (winkle on POWER8, stop4 onwards on POWER9). This patch fixes this bug by ensuring that if programing the sleep-winkle engine to restore the hypervisor states in pnv_save_sprs_for_deep_states() fails, then we exclude such states by clearing the OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT flag from supported_cpuidle_states. As a result POWER8 will be prevented from using winkle for CPU-Hotplug, and POWER9 will put the offlined CPUs to the default stop state when available. Further, we ensure in the initialization of the cpuidle-powernv driver to only include those states whose flags are present in supported_cpuidle_states, thereby skipping OPAL_PM_LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when they have been disabled due to stop-api failure.

If the decrementer wraps again and de-asserts the decrementer exception while hard-disabled, __check_irq_replay() has a test to notice the wrap when interrupts are re-enabled. The decrementer check must be done when clearing the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag, not when the PACA_IRQ_DEC flag is tested. Previously this worked because the decrementer interrupt was always the first one checked after clearing the hard disable flag, but HMI check was moved ahead of that, which introduced this bug. This can cause a missed decrementer interrupt if we soft-disable interrupts then take an HMI which is recorded in irq_happened, then hard-disable interrupts for > 4s to wrap the decrementer.

The watchdog soft-NMI exception stack setup loads a stack pointer twice, which is an obvious error. It ends up using the system reset interrupt (true-NMI) stack, which is also a bug because the watchdog could be preempted by a system reset interrupt that overwrites the NMI stack. Change the soft-NMI to use the "emergency stack". The current kernel stack is not used, because of the longer-term goal to prevent asynchronous stack access using soft-disable.

Commit 8e3f1b1d ("powerpc/powernv/pci: Enable 64-bit devices to access >4GB DMA space") introduced the ability for PCI device drivers to request a DMA mask between 64 and 32 bits and actually get a mask greater than 32-bits. However currently if certain machine configuration dependent conditions are not meet the code silently falls back to a 32-bit mask. This makes it hard for device drivers to detect which mask they actually got. Instead we should return an error when the request could not be fulfilled which allows drivers to either fallback or implement other workarounds as documented in DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.

Historically the boot wrapper was always built 32-bit big endian, even for 64-bit kernels. That was because old firmwares didn't necessarily support booting a 64-bit image. Because of that arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile uses CROSS32CC for compilation. However when we added 64-bit little endian support, we also added support for building the boot wrapper 64-bit. However we kept using CROSS32CC, because in most cases it is just CC and everything works. However if the user doesn't specify CROSS32_COMPILE (which no one ever does AFAIK), and CC is *not* biarch (32/64-bit capable), then CROSS32CC becomes just "gcc". On native systems that is probably OK, but if we're cross building it definitely isn't, leading to eg: gcc ... -m64 -mlittle-endian -mabi=elfv2 ... arch/powerpc/boot/cpm-serial.c gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mabi=elfv2’ gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mlittle-endian’ make: *** [zImage] Error 2 To fix it, stop using CROSS32CC, because we may or may not be building 32-bit. Instead setup a BOOTCC, which defaults to CC, and only use CROSS32_COMPILE if it's set and we're building for 32-bit.

In smp_cpus_done() we need to call smp_ops->setup_cpu() for the boot CPU, which means it has to run *on* the boot CPU. In the past we ensured it ran on the boot CPU by changing the CPU affinity mask of current directly. That was removed in commit 6d11b87d ("powerpc/smp: Replace open coded task affinity logic"), and replaced with a work queue call. Unfortunately using a work queue leads to a lockdep warning, now that the CPU hotplug lock is a regular semaphore: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected ... kworker/0:1/971 is trying to acquire lock: (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++++}, at: [<c000000000100974>] apply_workqueue_attrs+0x34/0xa0 but task is already holding lock: ((&wfc.work)){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0000000000fdb2c>] process_one_work+0x25c/0x800 ... CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock((&wfc.work)); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem); lock((&wfc.work)); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem); Although the deadlock can't happen in practice, because smp_cpus_done() only runs in early boot before CPU hotplug is allowed, lockdep can't tell that. Luckily in commit 8fb12156 ("init: Pin init task to the boot CPU, initially") tglx changed the generic code to pin init to the boot CPU to begin with. The unpinning of init from the boot CPU happens in sched_init_smp(), which is called after smp_cpus_done(). So smp_cpus_done() is always called on the boot CPU, which means we don't need the work queue call at all - and the lockdep warning goes away.

The Radix MMU translation tree as defined in ISA v3.0 contains two different types of entry, directories and leaves. Leaves are identified by _PAGE_PTE being set. The formats of the two entries are different, with the directory entries containing no spare bits for use by software. In particular the bit we use for _PAGE_DEVMAP is not reserved for software, and is part of the NLB (Next Level Base) field, essentially the address of the next level in the tree. Note that the Linux pte_t is not == _PAGE_PTE. A huge page pmd entry (or devmap!) is also a leaf and so has _PAGE_PTE set, even though we use a pmd_t for it in Linux. The fix is to ensure that the pmd/pte_devmap() confirm they are looking at a leaf entry (_PAGE_PTE) as well as checking _PAGE_DEVMAP.

In commit efe0160c ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc top-level Makefile. Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian. That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason, we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS. The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as: $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like: $ make defconfig powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim /bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM. When coming out of a guest with AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location, ie, MMU enabled), we start executing hypervisor code with the PID register still containing whatever the guest has been using. The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching or speculatively load from whatever host context has that same PID (if any), thus bringing translations for that context into the TLB, which Linux doesn't know about. This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes. Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations always use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded programs for example. We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between guest and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19 out of the 20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work if we make the host use the top half of the 20 bits space. We additionally add support for a property to indicate to Linux the size of the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have processors with a larger PID space available. There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting the PID register to a value in the hosts PID range. Hopefully future HW can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of kludges: - On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU in the PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted range we flush the TLB for that PID. - When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that CPU (core). This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations can exist before we detect it and flush them out. A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether the PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely fresh PIDs. We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of a global invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.

In commit 1c0eaf0f ("powerpc/powernv: Tell OPAL about our MMU mode on POWER9"), we added additional flags to the OPAL call to configure CPUs at boot. These flags only work on Power9 firmwares, and worse can cause boot failures on Power8 machines, so we check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 (aka POWER9) before adding the extra flags. Unfortunately we forgot that opal_configure_cores() is called before the CPU feature checks are dynamically patched, meaning the check always returns true. We definitely need to do something to make the CPU feature checks less prone to bugs like this, but for now the minimal fix is to use early_cpu_has_feature().

Also print a warning if get_random_*() is called before the CRNG is initialized. By default, only one single-line warning will be printed per boot. If CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is defined, then a warning will be printed for each function which tries to get random bytes before the CRNG is initialized. This can get spammy for certain architecture types, so it is not enabled by default" * tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random: random: reorder READ_ONCE() in get_random_uXX random: suppress spammy warnings about unseeded randomness random: warn when kernel uses unseeded randomness net/route: use get_random_int for random counter net/neighbor: use get_random_u32 for 32-bit hash random rhashtable: use get_random_u32 for hash_rnd ceph: ensure RNG is seeded before using iscsi: ensure RNG is seeded before use cifs: use get_random_u32 for 32-bit lock random random: add get_random_{bytes,u32,u64,int,long,once}_wait family random: add wait_for_random_bytes() API

Pull ->s_options removal from Al Viro: "Preparations for fsmount/fsopen stuff (coming next cycle). Everything gets moved to explicit ->show_options(), killing ->s_options off + some cosmetic bits around fs/namespace.c and friends.

It's not strictly required for this merge window, but it would reduce the PITA during the coming cycle, so it would be nice to have those bits and pieces out of the way" * 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: isofs: Fix isofs_show_options() VFS: Kill off s_options and helpers orangefs: Implement show_options 9p: Implement show_options isofs: Implement show_options afs: Implement show_options affs: Implement show_options befs: Implement show_options spufs: Implement show_options bpf: Implement show_options ramfs: Implement show_options pstore: Implement show_options omfs: Implement show_options hugetlbfs: Implement show_options VFS: Don't use save/replace_mount_options if not using generic_show_options VFS: Provide empty name qstr VFS: Make get_filesystem() return the affected filesystem VFS: Clean up whitespace in fs/namespace.c and fs/super.c Provide a function to create a NUL-terminated string from unterminated data
