commit 51d7d5205d upstream.
The kernel defines the function spin_is_locked(), which can be used to
check if a spinlock is currently locked.
Using spin_is_locked() on a lock you don't hold is obviously racy. That
is, even though you may observe that the lock is unlocked, it may become
locked at any time.
There is (at least) one exception to that, which is if two locks are
used as a pair, and the holder of each checks the status of the other
before doing any update.
Assuming *A and *B are two locks, and *COUNTER is a shared non-atomic
value:
The first CPU does:
spin_lock(*A)
if spin_is_locked(*B)
# nothing
else
smp_mb()
LOAD r = *COUNTER
r++
STORE *COUNTER = r
spin_unlock(*A)
And the second CPU does:
spin_lock(*B)
if spin_is_locked(*A)
# nothing
else
smp_mb()
LOAD r = *COUNTER
r++
STORE *COUNTER = r
spin_unlock(*B)
Although this is a strange locking construct, it should work.
It seems to be understood, but not documented, that spin_is_locked() is
not a memory barrier, so in the examples above and below the caller
inserts its own memory barrier before acting on the result of
spin_is_locked().
For now we assume spin_is_locked() is implemented as below, and we break
it out in our examples:
bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
LOAD l = *LOCK
return l.locked
}
Our intuition is that there should be no problem even if the two code
sequences run simultaneously such as:
CPU 0 CPU 1
==================================================
spin_lock(*A) spin_lock(*B)
LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A
if b.locked # true if a.locked # true
# nothing # nothing
spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B)
If one CPU gets the lock before the other then it will do the update and
the other CPU will back off:
CPU 0 CPU 1
==================================================
spin_lock(*A)
LOAD b = *B
spin_lock(*B)
if b.locked # false LOAD a = *A
else if a.locked # true
smp_mb() # nothing
LOAD r1 = *COUNTER spin_unlock(*B)
r1++
STORE *COUNTER = r1
spin_unlock(*A)
However in reality spin_lock() itself is not indivisible. On powerpc we
implement it as a load-and-reserve and store-conditional.
Ignoring the retry logic for the lost reservation case, it boils down to:
spin_lock(*LOCK) {
LOAD l = *LOCK
l.locked = true
STORE *LOCK = l
ACQUIRE_BARRIER
}
The ACQUIRE_BARRIER is required to give spin_lock() ACQUIRE semantics as
defined in memory-barriers.txt:
This acts as a one-way permeable barrier. It guarantees that all
memory operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen
after the ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of
the system.
On modern powerpc systems we use lwsync for ACQUIRE_BARRIER. lwsync is
also know as "lightweight sync", or "sync 1".
As described in Power ISA v2.07 section B.2.1.1, in this scenario the
lwsync is not the barrier itself. It instead causes the LOAD of *LOCK to
act as the barrier, preventing any loads or stores in the locked region
from occurring prior to the load of *LOCK.
Whether this behaviour is in accordance with the definition of ACQUIRE
semantics in memory-barriers.txt is open to discussion, we may switch to
a different barrier in future.
What this means in practice is that the following can occur:
CPU 0 CPU 1
==================================================
LOAD a = *A LOAD b = *B
a.locked = true b.locked = true
LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A
STORE *A = a STORE *B = b
if b.locked # false if a.locked # false
else else
smp_mb() smp_mb()
LOAD r1 = *COUNTER LOAD r2 = *COUNTER
r1++ r2++
STORE *COUNTER = r1
STORE *COUNTER = r2 # Lost update
spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B)
That is, the load of *B can occur prior to the store that makes *A
visibly locked. And similarly for CPU 1. The result is both CPUs hold
their lock and believe the other lock is unlocked.
The easiest fix for this is to add a full memory barrier to the start of
spin_is_locked(), so adding to our previous definition would give us:
bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
smp_mb()
LOAD l = *LOCK
return l.locked
}
The new barrier orders the store to the lock we are locking vs the load
of the other lock:
CPU 0 CPU 1
==================================================
LOAD a = *A LOAD b = *B
a.locked = true b.locked = true
STORE *A = a STORE *B = b
smp_mb() smp_mb()
LOAD b = *B LOAD a = *A
if b.locked # true if a.locked # true
# nothing # nothing
spin_unlock(*A) spin_unlock(*B)
Although the above example is theoretical, there is code similar to this
example in sem_lock() in ipc/sem.c. This commit in addition to the next
commit appears to be a fix for crashes we are seeing in that code where
we believe this race happens in practice.

commit 85101af13b upstream.
ABIv2 kernels are failing to backtrace through the kernel. An example:
39.30% readseek2_proce [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_entry
|
--- find_get_entry
__GI___libc_read
The problem is in valid_next_sp() where we check that the new stack
pointer is at least STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD below the previous one.
ABIv1 has a minimum stack frame size of 112 bytes consisting of 48 bytes
and 64 bytes of parameter save area. ABIv2 changes that to 32 bytes
with no paramter save area.
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD is in theory the minimum stack frame size,
but we over 240 uses of it, some of which assume that it includes
space for the parameter area.
We need to work through all our stack defines and rationalise them
but let's fix perf now by creating STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and using
in valid_next_sp(). This fixes the issue:
30.64% readseek2_proce [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_entry

--- find_get_entry
pagecache_get_page

commit fc04795575 upstream.
If we changed base page size of the segment, either via sub_page_protect
or via remap_4k_pfn, we do a demote_segment which doesn't flush the hash
table entries. We do a lazy hash page table flush for all mapped pages
in the demoted segment. This happens when we handle hash page fault for
these pages.
We use _PAGE_COMBO bit along with _PAGE_HASHPTE to indicate whether a
pte is backed by 4K hash pte. If we find _PAGE_COMBO not set on the pte,
that implies that we could possibly have older 64K hash pte entries in
the hash page table and we need to invalidate those entries.
Use _PAGE_COMBO to determine the page size with which we should
invalidate the hash table entries on unmap.

commit 85c1fafd72 upstream.
On ppc64 we support 4K hash pte with 64K page size. That requires
us to track the hash pte slot information on a per 4k basis. We do that
by storing the slot details in the second half of pte page. The pte bit
_PAGE_COMBO is used to indicate whether the second half need to be
looked while building real_pte. We need to use read memory barrier while
doing that so that load of hidx is not reordered w.r.t _PAGE_COMBO
check. On the store side we already do a lwsync in __hash_page_4K

The assembler maintainer says:
I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
happens to break the booke kernel code. When building up a 64-bit
value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha. @h and @ha
(and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
other @h and @ha relocs.
Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
supports @h or @high but not both.

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the
area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data --
from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more
space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process.
To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and
KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the
kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes
would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly.
Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when
compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot
currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway.
In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the
amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more.
This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to
preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would
ever be used on a 64-bit process, though.

The reason for this is that we are linking our VDSO shared libraries
at 1MB, which is a little weird. Even though this is uncommon, Alan
points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace.
Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code
is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending
up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks).
Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution:

Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using
a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of
the PTE modification when necessary).
ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs.
Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks.
The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with
linux page table.
We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing
hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can
end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal.
We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash
flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is
never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid.
This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption.
Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a
way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation
using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate
mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

pte_update() is a powerpc-ism used to change the bits of a PTE
when the access permission is being restricted (a flush is
potentially needed).
It uses atomic operations on when needed and handles the hash
synchronization on hash based processors.
It is currently only used to clear PTE bits and so the current
implementation doesn't provide a way to also set PTE bits.
The new _PAGE_NUMA bit, when set, is actually restricting access
so it must use that function too, so this change adds the ability
for pte_update() to also set bits.
We will use this later to set the _PAGE_NUMA bit.

Additionally, this adds a hook to the struct iommu_table so that

On p8 systems, with relocation on exception feature enabled we are seeing
kdump kernel hang at interrupt vector 0xc*4400. The reason is, with this
feature enabled, exception are raised with MMU (IR=DR=1) ON with the
default offset of 0xc*4000. Since exception is raised in virtual mode it
requires the vector region to be executable without which it fails to
fetch and execute instruction at 0xc*4xxx. For default kernel since kernel
is loaded at real 0, the htab mappings sets the entire kernel text region
executable. But for relocatable kernel (e.g. kdump case) we only copy
interrupt vectors down to real 0 and never marked that region as
executable because in p7 and below we always get exception in real mode.
This patch fixes this issue by marking htab mapping range as executable
that overlaps with the interrupt vector region for relocatable kernel.

smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry
to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This
is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework,
states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable
sysfs entry.
Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency
is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore,
the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency
of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user
as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency)
values for each cpu.
In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken.
It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the
coming of cpuidle framework.
However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently
utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean
up the kernel code.

"So here's my next branch for powerpc. A bit late as I was on vacation
last week. It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I
just added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for
powerpc, which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and
is trivial.
The highlights are, in addition to a bunch of bug fixes:
- Reworked Machine Check handling on kernels running without a
hypervisor (or acting as a hypervisor). Provides hooks to handle
some errors in real mode such as TLB errors, handle SLB errors,
etc...
- Support for retrieving memory error information from the service
processor on IBM servers running without a hypervisor and routing
them to the memory poison infrastructure.
- _PAGE_NUMA support on server processors
- 32-bit BookE relocatable kernel support
- FSL e6500 hardware tablewalk support
- A bunch of new/revived board support
- FSL e6500 deeper idle states and altivec powerdown support

Pull powerpc mremap fix from Ben Herrenschmidt:

wait before merging. It's based on a different tree than my -next

It's identical to the request I did 2 or 3 weeks back.
This fixes crashes in mremap with THP on powerpc.
The fix however requires a small change in the generic code. It moves
a condition into a helper we can override from the arch which is
harmless, but it *also* slightly changes the order of the set_pmd and
the withdraw & deposit, which should be fine according to Kirill (who

At a glance these are just the inverse of each other. The one subtlety
is that arch_spin_value_unlocked() takes the lock by value, rather than
as a pointer, which is important for the lockref code.
On the other hand arch_spin_is_locked() doesn't really care, so
implement it in terms of arch_spin_value_unlocked().

This commit adds the architecture support required to enable the
optimised implementation of lockrefs.
That's as simple as defining arch_spin_value_unlocked() and selecting
the Kconfig option.
We also define cmpxchg64_relaxed(), because the lockref code does not
need the cmpxchg to have barrier semantics.
Using Linus' test case[1] on one system I see a 4x improvement for the
basic enablement, and a further 1.3x for cmpxchg64_relaxed(), for a
total of 5.3x vs the baseline.
On another system I see more like 2x improvement.

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It
contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of
H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
"hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates
the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the
old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should
still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
DABRX_BTI.
The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that
know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
on POWER8.

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual
cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same
physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between
virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread
numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come
first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs).
POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can
use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since
the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter,
it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual
thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual
core always runs on physical thread N.
This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the
one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running
no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is
currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0
to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of
this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to
be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check
interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines.
To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from
the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer
and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the
thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core
structure.
In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into
kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until
either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread
needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the
code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means
that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state.
Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before
switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial
code movement, making the diff rather large.

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest
and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order,
or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the
instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated.
This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.
Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

Pull core locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
- futex performance increases: larger hashes, smarter wakeups
- mutex debugging improvements
- lots of SMP ordering documentation updates
- introduce the smp_load_acquire(), smp_store_release() primitives.
(There are WIP patches that make use of them - not yet merged)
- lockdep micro-optimizations
- lockdep improvement: better cover IRQ contexts
- liblockdep at last. We'll continue to monitor how useful this is

Pull core debug changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Currently there are two methods to set the panic_timeout: via
'panic=X' boot commandline option, or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic.
This tree adds a third panic_timeout configuration method:
configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to
distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the
.config.
CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default
value of panic_timeout.
Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special
panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all
resolved to the satisfaction of everyone"
