Today, for normal faults and page table walks, we check the VMA and/or PTE to ensure that it is compatible with the action. For instance, if we get a write fault on a non-writeable VMA, we SIGSEGV. We try to do the same thing for protection keys. Basically, we try to make sure that if a user does this: mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_NONE); *ptr = foo; they see the same effects with protection keys when they do this: mprotect(ptr, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE); set_pkey(ptr, size, 4); wrpkru(0xffffff3f); // access disable pkey 4 *ptr = foo; The state to do that checking is in the VMA, but we also sometimes have to do it on the page tables only, like when doing a get_user_pages_fast() where we have no VMA. We add two functions and expose them to generic code: arch_pte_access_permitted(pte_flags, write) arch_vma_access_permitted(vma, write) These are, of course, backed up in x86 arch code with checks against the PTE or VMA's protection key. But, there are also cases where we do not want to respect protection keys. When we ptrace(), for instance, we do not want to apply the tracer's PKRU permissions to the PTEs from the process being traced. Signed-off-by:

The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless indirection. It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see 4/6). Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as they used to have. After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one or two instructions. For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes. We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate address into %rdi before each call. [1] See Rusty's kind explanation http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for some historic context. This patch (of 6): As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 18): The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1]. Move the existing pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].

GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large, which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le. This was necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2 global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found within 2 GB of the function entry point: func: addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha addi r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l .localentry func, .-func To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large: .quad .TOC.-func func: .reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY ld r2, -8(r12) add r2, r2, r12 .localentry func, .-func The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in range after all. Since this new relocation is now present in module object files, the kernel module loader is required to handle them too. This patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the same optimization done by the GNU linker. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Swapoff after swapping hangs on the G5, when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y but CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set. That's because the non-zero _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit, added by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY=y, is not discounted when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set: so swap ptes cannot be recognized. (I suspect that the peculiar dependence of HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in arch/powerpc/Kconfig comes from an incomplete attempt to solve this problem.) It's true that the relationship between CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is too confusing, and it's true that swapoff should be made more robust; but nevertheless, fix up the powerpc ifdefs as x86_64 and s390 (which met the same problem) have them, defining the bits as 0 if CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set.

Core kernel expects swp_entry_t to consist of only swap type and swap offset. We should not leak pte bits into swp_entry_t. This breaks swapoff which use the swap type and offset to build a swp_entry_t and later compare that to the swp_entry_t obtained from linux page table pte. Leaking pte bits into swp_entry_t breaks that comparison and results in us looping in try_to_unuse. The stack trace can be anywhere below try_to_unuse() in mm/swapfile.c, since swapoff is circling around and around that function, reading from each used swap block into a page, then trying to find where that page belongs, looking at every non-file pte of every mm that ever swapped.

On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost. Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait. This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer. The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic" message may still be truncated as follows: >Call Trace: >[c000000f1f603b00] [c0000000008e9458] dump_stack+0x90/0xbc (unreliable) >[c000000f1f603b30] [c0000000008e7e78] panic+0xf8/0x2c4 >[c000000f1f603bc0] [c000000000be4860] mount_block_root+0x288/0x33c >[c000000f1f603c80] [c000000000be4d14] prepare_namespace+0x1f4/0x254 >[c000000f1f603d00] [c000000000be43e8] kernel_init_freeable+0x318/0x350 >[c000000f1f603dc0] [c00000000000bd74] kernel_init+0x24/0x130 >[c000000f1f603e30] [c0000000000095b0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xac >---[ end Kernel panic - not This functionality is implemented as a kmsg_dumper as it seems to be the most sensible way to introduce platform-specific functionality to the panic function.

Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a few bits of it. This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite some time in the hot path of context switching. This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to the paca and on context switch, copies only those. Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost 3% on POWER8: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield --process 0 0 1. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2015-October/135700.html Signed-off-by:

QE and CPM have the same muram, they use the same management functions. Now QE support both ARM and PowerPC, it is necessary to move QE to "driver/soc", so move the muram management functions from cpm_common to qe_common for preparing to move QE code to "driver/soc" Signed-off-by:

This adds a function to copy the mm->context to the paca. This is only a basic conversion for now but will be used more extensively in the next patch. This also adds #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S around this code since it's not used elsewhere. Signed-off-by:

NVLink is a high speed interconnect that is used in conjunction with a PCI-E connection to create an interface between CPU and GPU that provides very high data bandwidth. A PCI-E connection to a GPU is used as the control path to initiate and report status of large data transfers sent via the NVLink. On IBM Power systems the NVLink processing unit (NPU) is similar to the existing PHB3. This patch adds support for a new NPU PHB type. DMA operations on the NPU are not supported as this patch sets the TCE translation tables to be the same as the related GPU PCIe device for each NVLink. Therefore all DMA operations are setup and controlled via the PCIe device. EEH is not presently supported for the NPU devices, although it may be added in future. Signed-off-by:

This commit removed the pcidev field from struct pci_dn as it was no longer in use by the kernel. However to support finding the association of Nvlink devices to GPU devices from the device-tree this field is required.

User space checkpoint and restart tool (CRIU) needs the page's change to be soft tracked. This allows to do a pre checkpoint and then dump only touched pages. This is done by using a newly assigned PTE bit (_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY) when the page is backed in memory, and a new _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit when the page is swapped out. To introduce a new PTE _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit value common to hash 4k and hash 64k pte, the bits already defined in hash-*4k.h should be shifted left by one. The _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit is dynamically put after the swap type in the swap pte. A check is added to ensure that the bit is not overwritten by _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS. 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.

There are no longer any users of enter_rtas() outside of rtas.c, so make it "private", by moving the declaration inside rtas.c. Hopefully this will encourage people to use one of the wrappers which takes the sharp edges off the RTAS calling sequence. Signed-off-by:

Most users of RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) use rtas_call(), which deals with locking as well as endian handling. However we have two users outside of rtas.c that can't use rtas_call() because they have different locking requirements. The hotplug CPU code can't take the RTAS lock because the CPU would go offline with the lock held and no other CPUs would be able to call RTAS until the CPU came back online. The xmon code doesn't want to take the lock because it would risk dead locking when we are trying to recover from a crash. Both sites required multiple patches when we added little endian support, proving that programmers can't do endian right. Although that ship has sailed, we can still clean the code up by providing an unlocked version of rtas_call() which avoids the need to open code the logic elsewhere. Signed-off-by:

OPALv2 only ever existed in the lab and didn't escape to the world. All OPAL systems in the wild are OPALv3. The probability of there being an OPALv2 system still powered on anywhere inside IBM is approximately zero, let alone anyone expecting to run mainline kernels. So, start to remove references to OPALv2. Signed-off-by:
