powerpc/perf: Add PPMU_ARCH_207S define

2014-07-17T23:23:12+00:00

commit 4d9690dd56b0d18f2af8a9d4a279cb205aae3345 upstream. Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one for v2.07 of the architecture. This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch. Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley Acked-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc: Add AT_HWCAP2 to indicate V.CRYPTO category support

2014-07-07T01:59:11+00:00

commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 upstream. The Vector Crypto category instructions are supported by current POWER8 chips, advertise them to userspace using a specific bit to properly differentiate with chips of the same architecture level that might not have them.

powerpc/perf: Ensure all EBB register state is cleared on fork()

2014-07-07T01:59:11+00:00

commit 3df48c981d5a9610e02e9270b1bc4274fb536710 upstream. In commit 330a1eb "Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s" I messed up clear_task_ebb(). It clears some but not all of the task's Event Based Branch (EBB) registers when we duplicate a task struct. That allows a child task to observe the EBBHR & EBBRR of its parent, which it should not be able to do. Fix it by clearing EBBHR & EBBRR.

powerpc: 64bit sendfile is capped at 2GB

2014-07-07T01:59:11+00:00

commit 5d73320a96fcce80286f1447864c481b5f0b96fa upstream. commit 8f9c0119d7ba (compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation) changed the PowerPC 64bit sendfile call from sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile. Unfortunately this broke sendfile of lengths greater than 2G because sys_sendfile caps at MAX_NON_LFS. Restore what we had previously which fixes the bug.

powerpc: Fix 64 bit builds with binutils 2.24

2014-05-28T03:24:05+00:00

With binutils 2.24, various 64 bit builds fail with relocation errors such as arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e': (.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI against symbol `interrupt_base_book3e' defined in .text section in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e': (.text+0x16602): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section in arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o 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.

Merge tag 'signed-for-3.15' of git://github.com/agraf/linux-2.6 into kvm-master

2014-05-13T16:15:16+00:00

Patch queue for 3.15 - 2014-05-12 This request includes a few bug fixes that really shouldn't wait for the next release. It fixes KVM on 32bit PowerPC when built as module. It also fixes the PV KVM acceleration when NX gets honored by the host. Furthermore we fix transactional memory support and numa support on HV KVM.

KVM guest: Make pv trampoline code executable

2014-04-29T10:36:09+00:00

Our PV guest patching code assembles chunks of instructions on the fly when it encounters more complicated instructions to hijack. These instructions need to live in a section that we don't mark as non-executable, as otherwise we fault when jumping there. Right now we put it into the .bss section where it automatically gets marked as non-executable. Add a check to the NX setting function to ensure that we leave these particular pages executable.
