To support addition of "bitmask" to MASKABLE_* macros, factor out the EXCPETION_PROLOG_1 macro. Make it explicit the interrupt masking supported by a gievn interrupt handler. Patch correspondingly extends the MASKABLE_* macros with an addition's parameter. "bitmask" parameter is passed to SOFTEN_TEST macro to decide on masking the interrupt. Signed-off-by:

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts. Currently supported flags values and their details: soft_enabled MSR[EE] 0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked) 1 1 Enabled "paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any occured. Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the update. So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New values and details: soft_enabled MSR[EE] 1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked) 0 1 Enabled Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When ->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask. Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED. Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in signal context. Signed-off-by:

Extract physical_address for UE errors by walking the page tables for the mm and address at the NIP, to extract the instruction. Then use the instruction to find the effective address via analyse_instr(). We might have page table walking races, but we expect them to be rare, the physical address extraction is best effort. The idea is to then hook up this infrastructure to memory failure eventually. Signed-off-by:

The system reset interrupt is used for crash/debug situations, so it is desirable to have as little impact on the normal state of the system as possible. Currently it uses the current kernel stack to process the exception. This stores into the stack which may be involved with the crash. The stack pointer may be corrupted, or it may have overflowed. Avoid or minimise these problems by creating a dedicated NMI stack for the system reset interrupt to use. Signed-off-by:

In preparation for using a dedicated stack for system reset interrupts, prevent a nested system reset from recovering, in order to simplify code that is called in crash/debug path. This allows a system reset interrupt to just use the base stack pointer. Keep an in_nmi nesting counter similarly to the in_mce counter. Consider the interrrupt non-recoverable if it is taken inside another system reset. Interrupt nesting could be allowed similarly to MCE, but system reset is a special case that's not for normal operation, so simplicity wins until there is requirement for nested system reset interrupts.

The system reset interrupt can occur when MSR_EE=0, and it currently uses the PACA_EXGEN save area. Some PACA_EXGEN interrupts have a window where MSR_RI=1 and MSR_EE=0 when the save area is still in use. A system reset interrupt in this window can lead to undetected corruption when the save area gets overwritten. This patch introduces PACA_EXNMI save area for system reset exceptions, which closes this corruption window. It's also helpful to retain the EXGEN state for debugging situations, even if not considering the recoverability aspect. This patch also moves the PACA_EXMC area down to a less frequently used part of the paca with the new save area. Signed-off-by:

The POWER8 idle code has a neat trick of programming the power on engine to restore a low bit into HSPRG0, so idle wakeup code can test and see if it has been programmed this way and therefore lost all state. Restore time can be reduced if winkle has not been reached. However this messes with our r13 PACA pointer, and requires HSPRG0 to be written to. It also optimizes the slowest and most uncommon case at the expense of another SPR write in the common nap state wakeup. Remove this complexity and assume winkle sleeps always require a state restore. This speedup could be made entirely contained within the winkle idle code by counting per-core winkles and setting a thread bitmap when all have gone to winkle. Reviewed-by:

Hypervisor Virtualization and Directed Hypervisor Doorbell interrupt handlers use the macro EXC_VIRT_OOL_MASKABLE_HV for their relocation-on handlers, which calls MASKABLE_RELON_EXCEPTION_HV_OOL, which uses the *real mode* interrupt prolog. This means we needlessly rfid from virtual mode to virtual mode. For POWER8 it only affects doorbell IPIs. Context switch microbenchmark between threads with snooze disabled (which causes IPI) gets about 3% faster, about 370 cycles. Should be more important on POWER9 with global doorbells and HVI for host interrupts. Use the RELON variant instead to reduce overhead.

Prior to commit 2337d207 ("powerpc/64: CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support for hmi interrupts"), the branch from hmi_exception_early() to hmi_exception_realmode() was just a bl hmi_exception_realmode, which the linker would turn into a bl to the local entry point of hmi_exception_realmode. This was broken when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y because hmi_exception_realmode() is not in the low part of the kernel text that is copied down to 0x0. But in fixing that, we added a new bug on little endian kernels. Because the branch is now a bctrl when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, we branch to the global entry point of hmi_exception_realmode(). The global entry point must be called with r12 containing the address of hmi_exception_realmode(), because it uses that value to calculate the TOC value (r2). This may manifest as a checkstop, because we take a junk value from r12 which came from HSRR1, add a small constant to it and then use that as the TOC pointer. The HSRR1 value will have 0x9 as the top nibble, which puts it above RAM and somewhere in MMIO space. Fix it by changing the BRANCH_LINK_TO_FAR() macro to always use r12 to load the label we're branching to. This means r12 will be setup correctly on LE, fixing this bug, and r12 is also volatile across function calls on BE so it's a good choice anyway.

With host and guest both using radix translation, it is feasible for the host to take interrupts that come from the guest with relocation on, and that is in fact what the POWER9 hardware will do when LPCR[AIL] = 3. All such interrupts use HSRR0/1 not SRR0/1 except for system call with LEV=1 (hcall). Therefore this adds the KVM tests to the _HV variants of the relocation-on interrupt handlers, and adds the KVM test to the relocation-on system call entry point. We also instantiate the relocation-on versions of the hypervisor data storage and instruction interrupt handlers, since these can occur with relocation on in radix guests. Signed-off-by:

64-bit Book3S exception handlers must find the dynamic kernel base to add to the target address when branching beyond __end_interrupts, in order to support kernel running at non-0 physical address. Support this in KVM by branching with CTR, similarly to regular interrupt handlers. The guest CTR saved in HSTATE_SCRATCH1 and restored after the branch. Without this, the host kernel hangs and crashes randomly when it is running at a non-0 address and a KVM guest is started. Signed-off-by:

The changes to use gas sections for constructing the exception vectors causes a build break when using binutils 2.23: arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:770: Error: operand out of range (0xffffffffffff8100 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x000000000000ffff) And so on. Reported by Hugh with binutils-2.23.2-8.1.4.ppc64 from openSUSE 13.1 and also Naveen & Denis using 2.23.52.0.1-26.el7 from RHEL 7. Strangely binutils 2.22 (what I test with) is not affected. This is caused by the use of @l in LOAD_HANDLER(). The @l was only recently added in commit a24553dd ("powerpc/pseries: Remove unnecessary syscall trampoline"). Luckily the gas section changes split out the LOAD_SYSCALL_HANDLER() macro, which means we actually *don't* need to use @l in LOAD_HANDLER() any more, only in LOAD_SYSCALL_HANDLER(). So drop the @l from LOAD_HANDLER(). Fixes: 57f26649 ("powerpc: Use gas sections for arranging exception vectors") Signed-off-by:

Wakeups from winkle set the low bit of the HSPRG0 register, to distinguish it from other sleep states. This is also the PACA pointer. The system reset exception handler fails to mask this bit away before using this value before using it as the PACA pointer. Fix this by adding a new type of exception prolog macro where we already have the PACA set in r13, and have the system reset vector mask it out. The winkle wakeup handler will store the masked value back into HSPRG0.

This patch does a couple of things. First of all, powernv immediately explodes when running a relocated kernel, because the system reset exception for handling sleeps does not do correct relocated branches. Secondly, the sleep handling code trashes the condition and cfar registers, which we would like to preserve for debugging purposes (for non-sleep case exception). This patch changes the exception to use the standard format that saves registers before any tests or branches are made. It adds the test for idle-wakeup as an "extra" to break out of the normal exception path. Then it branches to a relocated idle handler that calls the various idle handling functions. After this patch, POWER8 CPU simulator now boots powernv kernel that is running at non-zero.

Use assembler sections of fixed size and location to arrange the 64-bit Book3S exception vector code (64-bit Book3E also uses it in head_64.S for 0x0..0x100). This allows better flexibility in arranging exception code and hiding unimportant details behind macros. Gas sections can be a bit painful to use this way, mainly because the assembler does not know where they will be finally linked. Taking absolute addresses requires a bit of trickery for example, but it can be hidden behind macros for the most part. Generated code is mostly the same except locations, offsets, alignments. The "+ 0x2" is only required for the trap number / kvm exit number, which gets loaded as a constant into a register. Previously, code also used + 0x2 for label names, but we changed to using "H" to distinguish HV case for that. Remove the last vestiges of that. __after_prom_start is taking absolute address of a label in another fixed section. Newer toolchains seemed to compile this okay, but older ones do not. FIXED_SYMBOL_ABS_ADDR is more foolproof, it just takes an additional line to define. Signed-off-by:

Create arch/powerpc/include/asm/head-64.h with macros that specify an exception vector (name, type, location), which will be used to label and lay out exceptions into the object file. Naming is moved out of exception-64s.h, which is used to specify the implementation of exception handlers. objdump of generated code in exception vectors is unchanged except for names. Alignment directives scattered around are annoying, but done this way so that disassembly can verify identical instruction generation before and after patch. These get cleaned up in future patch. We change the way KVMTEST works, explicitly passing EXC_HV or EXC_STD rather than overloading the trap number. This removes the need to have SOFTEN values for the overloaded trap numbers, eg. 0x502.

When we originally added the ability to split the exception vectors from the kernel (commit 1f6a93e4 ("powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel" 2008-09-15)), the LOAD_HANDLER() macro used an addi instruction to compute the offset of the common handler from the kernel base address. Using addi meant the handler had to be within 32K of the kernel base address, due to the addi instruction taking a signed immediate value. That necessitated creating a trampoline for the system call handler, because system_call_common (in entry64.S) is not linked within 32K of the kernel base address. Later in commit 61e2390e ("powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k offset" 2012-11-15) we changed LOAD_HANDLER to take a 64K offset, by changing it to use ori. Although system_call_common is not in head_64.S or exceptions-64s.S, it is included in head-y, which causes it to be linked early in the kernel text, so in practice it ends up below 64K. Additionally if it can't be placed below 64K the linker will fail to build with a "relocation truncated to fit" error. So remove the trampoline. Newer toolchains are able to work out that the ori in LOAD_HANDLER only takes a 16 bit offset, and so they generate a 16 bit relocation. Older toolchains (binutils 2.22 at least) are not so smart, so we have to add the @l annotation to tell the assembler to generate a 16 bit relocation. Signed-off-by:

The STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro takes both a vector number, and a location (memory address). However both are always identical, so combine them to save repeating ourselves. This does mean an exception handler must always exist at the location in memory that matches its vector number. But that's OK because this is the "STD" macro (standard), which does exactly that. We have other macros for the other cases, eg. STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES_OOL (out of line). Signed-off-by:

HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is a macro which is present at the start of most of our first level exception handlers. It conditionally executes a HMT_MEDIUM instruction, which sets the processor priority to medium. On on modern systems, ie. Power7 and later, it is nop'ed out at boot. All it does is make the exception vectors more cramped, and consume 4 bytes of icache. On old systems it has the effect of boosting the processor priority at the start of exception processing. If we were previously in the idle loop for example, we may be at low or very low priority. This is desirable as we want to process the exception as fast as possible. However looking closely at the generated code, we see that in all cases we execute another HMT_MEDIUM just four instructions later. With code patching applied, the final code on an old (Power6) system will look like, eg: c000000000000300 <data_access_pSeries>: c000000000000300: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <- c000000000000304: 7d b2 43 a6 mtsprg 2,r13 c000000000000308: 7d b1 42 a6 mfsprg r13,1 c00000000000030c: f9 2d 00 80 std r9,128(r13) c000000000000310: 60 00 00 00 nop c000000000000314: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <- So I suggest that the added code complexity of HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not justified by the benefit of boosting the processor priority for the duration of four instructions, and therefore we drop it.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts. However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly. Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host. This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead. Signed-off-by:

DISABLE_INTS has a long and storied history, but for some time now it has not actually disabled interrupts. For the open-coded exception handlers, just stop using it, instead call RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE directly. This has the benefit of removing a level of indirection, and making it clear that r10 & r11 are used at that point. For the addition case we still need a macro, so rename it to clarify what it actually does. Signed-off-by:
