      powerpc/mm/hash64: Make vmalloc 56T on hash · 21a0e8c1
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      On 64-bit book3s, with the hash MMU, we currently define the kernel
virtual space (vmalloc, ioremap etc.), to be 16T in size. This is a
leftover from pre v3.7 when our user VM was also 16T.

Of that 16T we split it 50/50, with half used for PCI IO and ioremap
and the other 8T for vmalloc.

We never bothered to make it any bigger because 8T of vmalloc ought to
be enough for anybody. But it turns out that's not true, the per cpu
allocator wants large amounts of vmalloc space, not to make large
allocations, but to allow a large stride between allocations, because
we use pcpu_embed_first_chunk().

With a bit of juggling we can increase the entire kernel virtual space
to 64T. The only real complication is the check of the address in the
SLB miss handler, see the comment in the code.

Although we could continue to split virtual space 50/50 as we do now,
no one seems to be running out of PCI IO or ioremap space. So instead
keep that as 8T, and use the remaining 56T for vmalloc.

In future we should be able to increase the kernel virtual space to
512T, the code already supports that, it just needs testing on older
hardware.

      powerpc/mm/slb: Move comment next to the code it's referring to · b5048de0
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      There is a comment in slb_allocate() referring to the load of
paca->vmalloc_sllp, but it's several lines prior in the assembly.
We're about to change this code, and we want to add another comment,
so move the comment immediately prior to the instruction it's talking
about.

      powerpc/mm/book3s64: Make KERN_IO_START a variable · 63ee9b2f
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      Currently KERN_IO_START is defined as:

 #define KERN_IO_START  (KERN_VIRT_START + (KERN_VIRT_SIZE >> 1))

Although it looks like a constant, both the components are actually
variables, to allow us to have a different value between Radix and
Hash with a single kernel.

However that still requires both Radix and Hash to place the kernel IO
region at the same location relative to the start and end of the
kernel virtual region (namely 1/2 way through it), and we'd like to
change that.

So split KERN_IO_START out into its own variable, and initialise it
for Radix and Hash. In the medium term we should be able to
reconsolidate this, by doing a more involved rearrangement of the
location of the regions.

      powerpc/powernv: Use darn instruction for get_random_seed() on Power9 · e66ca3db
      Matt Brown authored 
      This adds powernv_get_random_darn() which utilises the darn instruction,
introduced in ISA v3.0/POWER9.

The darn instruction can potentially return an error, which is supported
by the get_random_seed() API, in normal usage if we see an error we just
return that to the caller.

However when detecting whether darn is functional at boot we try up to
10 times, before deciding that darn doesn't work and failing the
registration of get_random_seed(). That way an intermittent failure
at boot doesn't deprive the system of randomness until the next reboot.

      powerpc/32: Fix boot failure on non 6xx platforms · 64d0a506
      Christophe Leroy authored 
      Commit d300627c ("powerpc/6xx: Handle DABR match before calling
do_page_fault") breaks non 6xx platforms.

  Failed to execute /init (error -14)
  Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
  Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= ...
  CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 4.13.0-rc3-s3k-dev-00143-g7aa62e972a56 #56
  Call Trace:
    panic+0x108/0x250 (unreliable)
    rootfs_mount+0x0/0x58
    ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64
  Rebooting in 180 seconds..

This is because in handle_page_fault(), the call to do_page_fault() has been
mistakenly enclosed inside an #ifdef CONFIG_6xx

Fixes: d300627c ("powerpc/6xx: Handle DABR match before calling do_page_fault")
