<id>urn:sha1:0bb568ce748783deb682a048664312e71fd30644</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0828137e8f16721842468e33df0460044a0c588b upstream.

__init_FSCR() was added originally in commit 2468dcf641e4 ("powerpc:
Add support for context switching the TAR register") (Feb 2013), and
only set FSCR_TAR.

At that point FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) was not
context switched, so the setting was permanent after boot.

Later we added initialisation of FSCR_DSCR to __init_FSCR(), in commit
54c9b2253d34 ("powerpc: Set DSCR bit in FSCR setup") (Mar 2013), again
that was permanent after boot.

Then commit 2517617e0de6 ("powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on
POWER8") (Aug 2013) added a limited context switch of FSCR, just the
FSCR_DSCR bit was context switched based on thread.dscr_inherit. That
commit said "This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially", but it
didn't, it left the initialisation of FSCR_DSCR in __init_FSCR().
However the initial context switch from init_task to pid 1 would clear
FSCR_DSCR because thread.dscr_inherit was 0.

That commit also introduced the requirement that FSCR_DSCR be clear
for user processes, so that we can take the facility unavailable
interrupt in order to manage dscr_inherit.

Then in commit 152d523e6307 ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") (Dec 2015) FSCR was added to
thread_struct. However it still wasn't fully context switched, we just
took the existing value and set FSCR_DSCR if the new thread had
dscr_inherit set. FSCR was still initialised at boot to FSCR_DSCR |
FSCR_TAR, but that value was not propagated into the thread_struct, so
the initial context switch set FSCR_DSCR back to 0.

Finally commit b57bd2de8c6c ("powerpc: Improve FSCR init and context
switching") (Jun 2016) added a full context switch of the FSCR, and
added an initialisation of init_task.thread.fscr to FSCR_TAR |
FSCR_EBB, but omitted FSCR_DSCR.

The end result is that swapper runs with FSCR_DSCR set because of the
initialisation in __init_FSCR(), but no other processes do, they use
the value from init_task.thread.fscr.

Having FSCR_DSCR set for swapper allows it to access SPR 3 from
userspace, but swapper never runs userspace, so it has no useful
effect. It's also confusing to have the value initialised in two
places to two different values.

So remove FSCR_DSCR from __init_FSCR(), this at least gets us to the
point where there's a single value of FSCR, even if it's still set in
two places.

commit fdfe7cbd58806522e799e2a50a15aee7f2cbb7b6 upstream.

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.

Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Do not initiate shutdown when system is running on UPS</title>

commit 90a9b102eddf6a3f987d15f4454e26a2532c1c98 upstream.

As per PAPR we have to look for both EPOW sensor value and event
modifier to identify the type of event and take appropriate action.

In LoPAPR v1.1 section 10.2.2 includes table 136 "EPOW Action Codes":

  SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN 3

  The system must be shut down. An EPOW-aware OS logs the EPOW error
  log information, then schedules the system to be shut down to begin
  after an OS defined delay internal (default is 10 minutes.)

Then in section 10.3.2.2.8 there is table 146 "Platform Event Log
Format, Version 6, EPOW Section", which includes the "EPOW Event
Modifier":

  For EPOW sensor value = 3
  0x01 = Normal system shutdown with no additional delay
  0x02 = Loss of utility power, system is running on UPS/Battery
  0x03 = Loss of system critical functions, system should be shutdown
  0x04 = Ambient temperature too high
  All other values = reserved

We have a user space tool (rtas_errd) on LPAR to monitor for
EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS. Once it gets an event it initiates shutdown
after predefined time. It also starts monitoring for any new EPOW
events. If it receives "Power restored" event before predefined time
it will cancel the shutdown. Otherwise after predefined time it will
shutdown the system.

Commit 79872e35469b ("powerpc/pseries: All events of
EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN must initiate shutdown") changed our handling of
the "on UPS/Battery" case, to immediately shutdown the system. This
breaks existing setups that rely on the userspace tool to delay
shutdown and let the system run on the UPS.

The latter trace is due to the following sequence:

  page_alloc_cpu_dead
    drain_pages
      drain_pages_zone
        free_pcppages_bulk

where drain_pages() in this case is called under the assumption that
the unplugged cpu is no longer executing. To ensure that is the case,
and early call is made to __cpu_die()-&gt;pseries_cpu_die(), which runs a
loop that waits for the cpu to reach a halted state by polling its
status via query-cpu-stopped-state RTAS calls. It only polls for 25
iterations before giving up, however, and in the trace above this
results in the following being printed only .1 seconds after the
hotplug worker thread begins processing the unplug request:

  pseries-hotplug-cpu: Attempting to remove CPU &lt;NULL&gt;, drc index: 1000013a
  Querying DEAD? cpu 314 (314) shows 2

At that point the worker thread assumes the unplugged CPU is in some
unknown/dead state and procedes with the cleanup, causing the race
with the XIVE cleanup code executed by the unplugged CPU.

Fix this by waiting indefinitely, but also making an effort to avoid
spurious lockup messages by allowing for rescheduling after polling
the CPU status and printing a warning if we wait for longer than 120s.

<title>powerpc: Fix circular dependency between percpu.h and mmu.h</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0c83b277ada72b585e6a3e52b067669df15bcedb upstream.

Recently random.h started including percpu.h (see commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity")), which broke corenet64_smp_defconfig:

  In file included from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/paca.h:18,
                   from /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/percpu.h:13,
                   from /linux/include/linux/random.h:14,
                   from /linux/lib/uuid.c:14:
  /linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/mmu.h:139:22: error: unknown type name 'next_tlbcam_idx'
    139 | DECLARE_PER_CPU(int, next_tlbcam_idx);

This is due to a circular header dependency:
  asm/mmu.h includes asm/percpu.h, which includes asm/paca.h, which
  includes asm/mmu.h

Which means DECLARE_PER_CPU() isn't defined when mmu.h needs it.

We can fix it by moving the include of paca.h below the include of
asm-generic/percpu.h.

This moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef __powerpc64__, but
that is OK because paca.h is almost entirely inside #ifdef
CONFIG_PPC64 anyway.

It also moves the include of paca.h out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP,
which could possibly break something, but seems to have no ill
effects.

<title>powerpc: Allow 4224 bytes of stack expansion for the signal frame</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 63dee5df43a31f3844efabc58972f0a206ca4534 upstream.

We have powerpc specific logic in our page fault handling to decide if
an access to an unmapped address below the stack pointer should expand
the stack VMA.

The code was originally added in 2004 "ported from 2.4". The rough
logic is that the stack is allowed to grow to 1MB with no extra
checking. Over 1MB the access must be within 2048 bytes of the stack
pointer, or be from a user instruction that updates the stack pointer.

The 2048 byte allowance below the stack pointer is there to cover the
288 byte "red zone" as well as the "about 1.5kB" needed by the signal
delivery code.

Unfortunately since then the signal frame has expanded, and is now
4224 bytes on 64-bit kernels with transactional memory enabled. This
means if a process has consumed more than 1MB of stack, and its stack
pointer lies less than 4224 bytes from the next page boundary, signal
delivery will fault when trying to expand the stack and the process
will see a SEGV.

The total size of the signal frame is the size of struct rt_sigframe
(which includes the red zone) plus __SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE (128 bytes on
64-bit).

The 2048 byte allowance was correct until 2008 as the signal frame
was:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1440 */
        /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (1408 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1440    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1456    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1480     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1488     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1496   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 12 boundary (1536 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1624   288 */

        /* size: 1920, cachelines: 15, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

1920 + 128 = 2048

Then in commit ce48b2100785 ("powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore,
ptrace and signal support") (Jul 2008) the signal frame expanded to
2304 bytes:

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  1696    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  1712    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  1736     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  1744     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  1752   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 14 boundary (1792 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  1880   288 */

        /* size: 2176, cachelines: 17, members: 7 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

2176 + 128 = 2304

At this point we should have been exposed to the bug, though as far as
I know it was never reported. I no longer have a system old enough to
easily test on.

Then in 2010 commit 320b2b8de126 ("mm: keep a guard page below a
grow-down stack segment") caused our stack expansion code to never
trigger, as there was always a VMA found for a write up to PAGE_SIZE
below r1.

That meant the bug was hidden as we continued to expand the signal
frame in commit 2b0a576d15e0 ("powerpc: Add new transactional memory
state to the signal context") (Feb 2013):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */	&lt;--
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[288];          /*  3576   288 */

        /* size: 3872, cachelines: 31, members: 8 */
        /* padding: 8 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

3872 + 128 = 4000

And commit 573ebfa6601f ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit
userspace to 512 bytes") (Feb 2014):

struct rt_sigframe {
        struct ucontext    uc;                           /*     0  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
        struct ucontext    uc_transact;                  /*  1696  1696 */
        /* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
        long unsigned int          _unused[2];           /*  3392    16 */
        unsigned int               tramp[6];             /*  3408    24 */
        struct siginfo *           pinfo;                /*  3432     8 */
        void *                     puc;                  /*  3440     8 */
        struct siginfo     info;                         /*  3448   128 */
        /* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
        char                       abigap[512];          /*  3576   512 */	&lt;--

        /* size: 4096, cachelines: 32, members: 8 */
        /* padding: 8 */
};

4096 + 128 = 4224

Then finally in 2017, commit 1be7107fbe18 ("mm: larger stack guard
gap, between vmas") exposed us to the existing bug, because it changed
the stack VMA to be the correct/real size, meaning our stack expansion
code is now triggered.

Fix it by increasing the allowance to 4224 bytes.

Hard-coding 4224 is obviously unsafe against future expansions of the
signal frame in the same way as the existing code. We can't easily use
sizeof() because the signal frame structure is not in a header. We
will either fix that, or rip out all the custom stack expansion
checking logic entirely.

commit 7c466b0807960edc13e4b855be85ea765df9a6cd upstream.

H_SUCCESS is only defined when CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES is defined.

!= H_SUCCESS means != 0. Modify the test accordingly.

[ Upstream commit a0ff72f9f5a780341e7ff5e9ba50a0dad5fa1980 ]

In the unlikely event that the device tree lacks a /cpus node,
find_dlpar_cpus_to_add() oddly frees the cpu_drcs buffer it has been
passed before returning an error. Its only caller also frees the
buffer on error.

Remove the less conventional kfree() of a caller-supplied buffer from
find_dlpar_cpus_to_add().
