powerpc/pseries/vas: Setup IRQ and fault handling
When NX sees a fault on the user space buffer, generates a fault interrupt and pHyp forwards that interrupt to OS. Then the kernel makes H_GET_NX_FAULT HCALL to retrieve the fault CRB information. This patch adds changes to setup IRQ per each window and handles fault by updating CSB. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@linux.ibm.com>

powerpc/pseries/vas: Integrate API with open/close windows
This patch adds VAS window allocatioa/close with the corresponding HCALLs. Also changes to integrate with the existing user space VAS API and provide register/unregister functions to NX pseries driver. The driver register function is used to create the user space interface (/dev/crypto/nx-gzip) and unregister to remove this entry. The user space process opens this device node and makes an ioctl to allocate VAS window. The close interface is used to deallocate window. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@linux.ibm.com>
-
powerpc/pseries/vas: Implement to get all capabilities
pHyp provides various VAS capabilities such as GZIP default and QoS capabilities which are used to determine total number of credits available in LPAR, maximum window credits, maximum LPAR credits, whether usermode copy/paste is supported, and etc. So first retrieve overall vas capabilities using H_QUERY_VAS_CAPABILITIES HCALL which tells the specific features that are available. Then retrieve the specific capabilities by using the feature type in H_QUERY_VAS_CAPABILITIES HCALL. pHyp supports only GZIP default and GZIP QoS capabilities right now.

powerpc/pseries/VAS: Implement allocate/modify/deallocate HCALLS
This patch adds the following HCALLs which are used to allocate, modify and deallocate VAS windows. H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW: Allocate VAS window H_DEALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW: Close VAS window H_MODIFY_VAS_WINDOW: Setup window before using Also adds phyp call (H_QUERY_VAS_CAPABILITIES) to get all VAS capabilities that phyp provides.

powerpc/vas: Define QoS credit flag to allocate window
pHyp introduces two different type of credits: Default and Quality of service (QoS). The total number of default credits available on each LPAR depends on CPU resources configured. But these credits can be shared or over-committed across LPARs in shared mode which can result in paste command failure (RMA_busy). To avoid NX HW contention, phyp introduces QoS credit type which makes sure guaranteed access to NX resources. The system admins can assign QoS credits for each LPAR via HMC. Default credit type is used to allocate a VAS window by default as on powerVM implementation. But the process can pass VAS_WIN_QOS_CREDITS flag with VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl to open VAS QoS type window.

powerpc/vas: Define and use common vas_window struct
Same vas_window struct is used on powerNV and pseries. So this patch changes in struct vas_window to support both platforms and also the corresponding modifications in powerNV vas code. On powerNV vas_window is used for both TX and RX windows, whereas only for TX windows on powerVM. So some elements are specific to these platforms. Signed-off-by: Haren Myneni <haren@linux.ibm.com>

powerpc/perf: Fix PMU constraint check for EBB events
The power PMU group constraints includes check for EBB events to make sure all events in a group must agree on EBB. This will prevent scheduling EBB and non-EBB events together. But in the existing check, settings for constraint mask and value is interchanged. Patch fixes the same. Before the patch, PMU selftest "cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test" fails with below in dmesg logs.

selftests/powerpc: Suggest memtrace instead of /dev/mem for ci memory
The suggested alternative for getting cache-inhibited memory with 'mem=' and /dev/mem is pretty hacky. Also, PAPR guests do not allow system memory to be mapped cache-inhibited so despite /dev/mem being available this will not work which can cause confusion. Instead recommend using the memtrace buffers. memtrace is only available on powernv so there will not be any chance of trying to do this in a guest.

powerpc/kexec: Don't use .machine ppc64 in trampoline_64.S
As best as I can tell the ".machine" directive in trampoline_64.S is no longer, or never was, necessary. It was added in commit 0d97631 ("powerpc: Add purgatory for kexec_file_load() implementation."), which created the file based on the kexec-tools purgatory. It may be/have-been necessary in the kexec-tools version, but we have a completely different build system, and we already pass the desired CPU flags, eg: gcc ... -m64 -Wl,-a64 -mabi=elfv2 -Wa,-maltivec -Wa,-mpower4 -Wa,-many ... arch/powerpc/purgatory/trampoline_64.S So drop the ".machine" directive and rely on the assembler flags.

powerpc/mm/64s/hash: Add real-mode change_memory_range() for hash LPAR

The cause turns out to be the call to hash__mark_rodata_ro(), late in boot. Due to the way we layout text and rodata, that function actually changes the permissions for all of text and rodata to read-only plus execute. To do the permission change we use a hypervisor call, H_PROTECT. On phyp that appears to be implemented by briefly removing the mapping of the kernel text, before putting it back with the updated permissions. If any other CPU is executing during that window, it will see spurious faults on the kernel text and/or data, leading to crashes. To fix it we use stop machine to collect all other CPUs, and then have them drop into real mode (MMU off), while we change the mapping. That way they are unaffected by the mapping temporarily disappearing. We don't see this bug on KVM because KVM always use VPM=1, where faults are directed to the hypervisor, and the fault will be serialised vs the h_protect() by HPTE_V_HVLOCK.

powerpc/pseries: Add key to flags in pSeries_lpar_hpte_updateboltedpp()
The flags argument to plpar_pte_protect() (aka. H_PROTECT), includes the key in bits 9-13, but currently we always set those bits to zero. In the past that hasn't been a problem because we always used key 0 for the kernel, and updateboltedpp() is only used for kernel mappings. However since commit d94b827 ("powerpc/book3s64/kuap: Use Key 3 for kernel mapping with hash translation") we are now inadvertently changing the key (to zero) when we call plpar_pte_protect(). That hasn't broken anything because updateboltedpp() is only used for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, which is currently disabled on 64s due to other bugs. But we want to fix that, so first we need to pass the key correctly to plpar_pte_protect(). We can't pass our newpp value directly in, we have to convert it into the form expected by the hcall. The hcall we're using here is H_PROTECT, which is specified in section 14.5.4.1.6 of LoPAPR v1.1. It takes a `flags` parameter, and the description for flags says: * flags: AVPN, pp0, pp1, pp2, key0-key4, n, and for the CMO option: CMO Option flags as defined in Table 189‚ If you then go to the start of the parent section, 14.5.4.1, on page 405, it says: Register Linkage (For hcall() tokens 0x04 - 0x18) * On Call * R3 function call token * R4 flags (see Table 178‚ “Page Frame Table Access flags field definition‚” on page 401) Then you have to go to section 14.5.3, and on page 394 there is a list of hcalls and their tokens (table 176), and there you can see that H_PROTECT == 0x18. Finally you can look at table 178, on page 401, where it specifies the layout of the bits for the key: Bit Function ----------------- 50-54 | key0-key4 Those are big-endian bit numbers, converting to normal bit numbers you get bits 9-13, or 0x3e00. In the kernel we have: #define HPTE_R_KEY_HI ASM_CONST(0x3000000000000000) #define HPTE_R_KEY_LO ASM_CONST(0x0000000000000e00) So the LO bits of newpp are already in the right place, and the HI bits need to be shifted down by 48.

selftests/powerpc: Test for spurious kernel memory faults on radix
Previously when mapping kernel memory on radix, no ptesync was included which would periodically lead to unhandled spurious faults. Mapping kernel memory is used when code patching with Strict RWX enabled. As suggested by Chris Riedl, turning ftrace on and off does a large amount of code patching so is a convenient way to see this kind of fault. Add a selftest to try and trigger this kind of a spurious fault. It tests for 30 seconds which is usually long enough for the issue to show up.

powerpc/64s: Fix pte update for kernel memory on radix
When adding a PTE a ptesync is needed to order the update of the PTE with subsequent accesses otherwise a spurious fault may be raised. radix__set_pte_at() does not do this for performance gains. For non-kernel memory this is not an issue as any faults of this kind are corrected by the page fault handler. For kernel memory these faults are not handled. The current solution is that there is a ptesync in flush_cache_vmap() which should be called when mapping from the vmalloc region. However, map_kernel_page() does not call flush_cache_vmap(). This is troublesome in particular for code patching with Strict RWX on radix. In do_patch_instruction() the page frame that contains the instruction to be patched is mapped and then immediately patched. With no ordering or synchronization between setting up the PTE and writing to the page it is possible for faults. As the code patching is done using __put_user_asm_goto() the resulting fault is obscured - but using a normal store instead it can be seen: BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0xc008000008f24a3c Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000008bd74 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA PowerNV Modules linked in: nop_module(PO+) [last unloaded: nop_module] CPU: 4 PID: 757 Comm: sh Tainted: P O 5.10.0-rc5-01361-ge3c1b78c8440-dirty torvalds#43 NIP: c00000000008bd74 LR: c00000000008bd50 CTR: c000000000025810 REGS: c000000016f634a0 TRAP: 0300 Tainted: P O (5.10.0-rc5-01361-ge3c1b78c8440-dirty) MSR: 9000000000009033 <SF,HV,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 44002884 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c00000000007c68c DAR: c008000008f24a3c DSISR: 42000000 IRQMASK: 1 This results in the kind of issue reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/15AC5B0E-A221-4B8C-9039-FA96B8EF7C88@lca.pw/ Chris Riedl suggested a reliable way to reproduce the issue: $ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug $ (while true; do echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer ; done) & Turning ftrace on and off does a large amount of code patching which in usually less then 5min will crash giving a trace like: ftrace-powerpc: (____ptrval____): replaced (4b473b11) != old (60000000) ------------[ ftrace bug ]------------ ftrace failed to modify [<c000000000bf8e5c>] napi_busy_loop+0xc/0x390 actual: 11:3b:47:4b Setting ftrace call site to call ftrace function ftrace record flags: 80000001 (1) expected tramp: c00000000006c96c ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 809 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2065 ftrace_bug+0x28c/0x2e8 Modules linked in: nop_module(PO-) [last unloaded: nop_module] CPU: 4 PID: 809 Comm: sh Tainted: P O 5.10.0-rc5-01360-gf878ccaf250a #1 NIP: c00000000024f334 LR: c00000000024f330 CTR: c0000000001a5af0 REGS: c000000004c8b760 TRAP: 0700 Tainted: P O (5.10.0-rc5-01360-gf878ccaf250a) MSR: 900000000282b033 <SF,HV,VEC,VSX,EE,FP,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 28008848 XER: 20040000 CFAR: c0000000001a9c98 IRQMASK: 0 GPR00: c00000000024f330 c000000004c8b9f0 c000000002770600 0000000000000022 GPR04: 00000000ffff7fff c000000004c8b6d0 0000000000000027 c0000007fe9bcdd8 GPR08: 0000000000000023 ffffffffffffffd8 0000000000000027 c000000002613118 GPR12: 0000000000008000 c0000007fffdca00 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 GPR16: 0000000023ec37c5 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000008 GPR20: c000000004c8bc90 c0000000027a2d20 c000000004c8bcd0 c000000002612fe8 GPR24: 0000000000000038 0000000000000030 0000000000000028 0000000000000020 GPR28: c000000000ff1b68 c000000000bf8e5c c00000000312f700 c000000000fbb9b0 NIP ftrace_bug+0x28c/0x2e8 LR ftrace_bug+0x288/0x2e8 Call Trace: ftrace_bug+0x288/0x2e8 (unreliable) ftrace_modify_all_code+0x168/0x210 arch_ftrace_update_code+0x18/0x30 ftrace_run_update_code+0x44/0xc0 ftrace_startup+0xf8/0x1c0 register_ftrace_function+0x4c/0xc0 function_trace_init+0x80/0xb0 tracing_set_tracer+0x2a4/0x4f0 tracing_set_trace_write+0xd4/0x130 vfs_write+0xf0/0x330 ksys_write+0x84/0x140 system_call_exception+0x14c/0x230 system_call_common+0xf0/0x27c To fix this when updating kernel memory PTEs using ptesync.

powerpc: Switch to relative jump labels
Convert powerpc to relative jump labels. Before the patch, pseries_defconfig vmlinux.o has: 9074 __jump_table 0003f2a0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 01321fa8 2**0 With the patch, the same config gets: 9074 __jump_table 0002a0e0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 01321fb4 2**0 Size is 258720 without the patch, 172256 with the patch. That's a 33% size reduction.
