2013-04-04uprobes/powerpc: Teach uprobes to ignore gdb breakpointsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli1-0/+10
Powerpc has many trap variants that could be used by entities like gdb. Currently, running gdb on a program being traced by uprobes causes an endless loop since uprobes doesn't understand that the trap was inserted by some other entity and a SIGTRAP needs to be delivered. Teach uprobes to ignore breakpoints that do not belong to it.

2013-03-26powerpc: define the conditions where the ePAPR idle hcall can be supportedStuart Yoder1-0/+6
For 32-bit, CONFIG_EPAPR_PARAVIRT pulls in both epapr_paravirt.c and epapr_hcalls.c which contains the 32-bit paravirt idle loop. For 64-bit, the paravirt idle loop is in idle_book3e.S and that source file is included only if CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64 defined. This patch makes that dependency for 64-bit explicit. Fixes these build errors: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `restore_pblist_ptr': ftrace.c:(.toc+0xdc0): undefined reference to `epapr_ev_idle_start' ftrace.c:(.toc+0xdd0): undefined reference to `epapr_ev_idle' Signed-off-by: Stuart Yoder <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <[email protected]>

2013-03-17powerpc: Update kernel VSID rangeAneesh Kumar K.V1-9/+25
This patch change the kernel VSID range so that we limit VSID_BITS to 37. This enables us to support 64TB with 65 bit VA (37+28). Without this patch we have boot hangs on platforms that only support 65 bit VA. With this patch we now have proto vsid generated as below: We first generate a 37-bit "proto-VSID". Proto-VSIDs are generated from mmu context id and effective segment id of the address. For user processes max context id is limited to ((1ul << 19) - 5) for kernel space, we use the top 4 context ids to map address as below 0x7fffc - [ 0xc000000000000000 - 0xc0003fffffffffff ] 0x7fffd - [ 0xd000000000000000 - 0xd0003fffffffffff ] 0x7fffe - [ 0xe000000000000000 - 0xe0003fffffffffff ] 0x7ffff - [ 0xf000000000000000 - 0xf0003fffffffffff ] Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <[email protected]> Tested-by: Geoff Levand <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[email protected]> CC: <[email protected]> [v3.8]

2013-03-13powerpc: Fix -mcmodel=medium breakage in prom_init.cAnton Blanchard1-7/+7
Commit 5ac47f7a6efb (powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit) made prom_init.c position independent by manually relocating its entries in the TOC. We get the address of the TOC entries with the __prom_init_toc_start linker symbol. If __prom_init_toc_start ends up as an entry in the TOC then we need to add an offset to get the current address. This is the case for older toolchains. On the other hand, if we have a newer toolchain that supports -mcmodel=medium then __prom_init_toc_start will be created by a relative offset from r2 (the TOC pointer). Since r2 has already been relocated, nothing more needs to be done. Adding an offset in this case is wrong and Aaro Koskinen and Alexander Graf have noticed noticed G5 and OpenBIOS breakage. Alan Modra suggested we just use r2 to get at the TOC which is simpler and works with both old and new toolchains.

2013-03-05powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in MMU on syscall entry pathMichael Neuling1-2/+2
Currently we use the link register to branch up high in the early MMU on syscall entry path. Unfortunately, this trashes the link stack as the address we are going to is not associated with the earlier mflr. This patch simply converts us to used the count register (volatile over syscalls anyway) instead. This is much better at predicting in this scenario and doesn't trash link stack causing a bunch of additional branch mispredicts later.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin1-3/+3
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [[email protected]: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [[email protected]: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [[email protected]: checkpatch fixes] [[email protected]: fix warnings] [[email protected]: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <[email protected]> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-15powerpc: Routines for FP/VSX/VMX unavailable during a transactionMichael Neuling1-0/+83
We do lazy FP but not lazy TM (ie. userspace starts with MSR TM=1 FP=0). Hence if userspace does an FP instruction during a transaction, we'll take an fp unavailable exception. This adds functions needed to handle this case. We have to inject the current FP state into the checkpoint so that the hardware can decide what to do with the transaction. We can't inject only the FP so we have to do a full treclaim and recheckpoint to inject just the FP state. This will cause the transaction to be marked as aborted by the hardware. This just add the routines needed to do this for FP, VMX and VSX. It doesn't hook them into the rest of the code yet.

2013-02-15powerpc: Add reclaim and recheckpoint functions for context switching ↵Michael Neuling1-0/+112
transactional memory processes When we switch out a task, we need to save both the checkpointed and the speculated state into the thread struct. Similarly when we are switching in a task we need to load both the checkpointed and speculated state. If the task was using FP, we non-lazily reload both the original and the speculative FP register states. This is because the kernel doesn't see if/when a TM rollback occurs, so if we take an FP unavoidable later, we are unable to determine which set of FP regs need to be restored. This simply adds these functions. It doesn't hook them into the existing code yet.

This adds functions to restore the state of the FP/VSX registers from what's stored in the thread_struct. Two version for FP/VSX are required since one restores them from transactional/checkpoint side of the thread_struct and the other from the speculated side. Similar functions are added for VMX registers.

2013-02-15powerpc: Apply early paca fixups to boot_paca and the boot cpu's pacaMichael Ellerman1-5/+11
In commit 466921c we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas very early in boot. However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the boot cpu".

2013-02-15powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register valuePaul Mackerras1-0/+5
The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that exists on POWER7 processors. Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in guests. This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry to the guest.

2013-02-15powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry pathsPaul Mackerras1-30/+65
Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we currently just have a branch to an out-of-line handler. However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors. To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces: EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest. We then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the first-level interrupt handler. To facilitate this, we define new _OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc. In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions. Previously there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR. Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for it. Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at 0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions. The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved to 0xe60 on POWER7. Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50. This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).
