      tools/perf: Map the ID values with register names · dc642e83
      Anju T authored 
      Map ID values with corresponding register names. These names are then
displayed when user issues perf record with the -I option
followed by perf report/script with -D option.

To test this patchset, Eg:

  $ perf record -I ls   # record machine state at interrupt
  $ perf script -D      # read the perf.data file

Sample output obtained for this patch / output looks like as follows:

      powerpc/perf: Add support for sampling interrupt register state · ed4a4ef8
      Anju T authored 
      The perf infrastructure uses a bit mask to find out valid registers to
display. Define a register mask for supported registers defined in
uapi/asm/perf_regs.h. The bit positions also correspond to register IDs
which is used by perf infrastructure to fetch the register values.
CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_REGS enables sampling of the interrupted machine state.

      powerpc/book3s64: Remove __end_handlers marker · 057b6d7e
      Hari Bathini authored 
      The __end_handlers marker was intended to mark down upto code that gets
called from exception prologs. But that hasn't kept pace with code
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.

      Add the powerpc specific livepatch definitions. In particular we provide
a non-default implementation of klp_get_ftrace_location().

This is required because the location of the mcount call is not constant
when using -mprofile-kernel (which we always do for live patching).

      livepatch: Allow architectures to specify an alternate ftrace location · 28e7cbd3
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      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.

      Revert "ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted" · 9f2394c9
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 1028b55b.

It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing
the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful
directory entry into the position field, which means that the next
readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_.

You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory
walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors
(that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in
the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry.

I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()"
handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while
that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four
times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today.

So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align
better before that one gets committed.  And it would be good to get some
review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy
debugging model.

IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.
