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.

[ Upstream commit a9f675f950a07d5c1dbcbb97aabac56f5ed085e3 ]

The code in vdso_cpu_init that exposes the cpu and numa node to
userspace via SPRG_VDSO incorrctly masks the cpu to 12 bits. This means
that any kernel running on a box with more than 4096 threads (NR_CPUS
advertises a limit of of 8192 cpus) would expose userspace to two cpu
contexts running at the same time with the same cpu number.

Note: I'm not aware of any distro shipping a kernel with support for more
than 4096 threads today, nor of any system image that currently exceeds
4096 threads. Found via code browsing.

[ Upstream commit ec2fc2a9e9bbad9023aab65bc472ce7a3ca8608f ]

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires
that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one
of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function:

  * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or
  * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition
    resumes execution

Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by
commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into
an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are
offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two
states before a partition suspension can proceed.

This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac2d2d ("powerpc: Bring
all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code
to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call
H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had
multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user
space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates
user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform
feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads.

With commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU
into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes
unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly
offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary
to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline
again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN;
stopped threads can be left alone.

commit b710d27bf72068b15b2f0305d825988183e2ff28 upstream.

Early secure guest boot hits the below crash while booting with
vcpus numbers aligned with page boundary for PAGE size of 64k
and LPPACA size of 1k i.e 64, 128 etc.

  Partition configured for 64 cpus.
  CPU maps initialized for 1 thread per core
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/kernel/paca.c:89!
  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
  LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries

This is due to the BUG_ON() for shared_lppaca_total_size equal to
shared_lppaca_size. Instead the code should only BUG_ON() if we have
exceeded the total_size, which indicates we've overflowed the array.

[ Upstream commit a6e2c226c3d51fd93636320e47cabc8a8f0824c5 ]

With CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y, we can hit a BUG() if we take a hard
lockup watchdog interrupt when in OPAL mode.

This happens in show_instructions() if the kernel takes the watchdog
NMI IPI, or any other interrupt, with MSR_IR == 0. show_instructions()
updates the variable pc in the loop and the second iteration will
result in BUG().

We hit the BUG_ON due the below check in  __va()

  #define __va(x)
  ({
  	VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((unsigned long)(x) &gt;= PAGE_OFFSET);
  	(void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) | PAGE_OFFSET);
  })

Fix it by moving the check out of the loop. Also update nip so that
the nip == pc check still matches.

[ Upstream commit 8a5054d8cbbe03c68dcb0957c291c942132e4101 ]

The architecture allows for machine check exceptions to cause idle
wakeups which resume at the 0x200 address which has to return via
the idle wakeup code, but the early machine check handler is run
first.

The case of a no state-loss sleep is broken because the early
handler uses non-volatile register r1 , which is needed for the wakeup
protocol, but it is not restored.

Fix this by loading r1 from the MCE exception frame before returning
to the idle wakeup code. Also update the comment which has become
stale since the idle rewrite in C.

This crash was found and fix confirmed with a machine check injection

[ Upstream commit 8a5054d8cbbe03c68dcb0957c291c942132e4101 ]

The architecture allows for machine check exceptions to cause idle
wakeups which resume at the 0x200 address which has to return via
the idle wakeup code, but the early machine check handler is run
first.

The case of a no state-loss sleep is broken because the early
handler uses non-volatile register r1 , which is needed for the wakeup
protocol, but it is not restored.

Fix this by loading r1 from the MCE exception frame before returning
to the idle wakeup code. Also update the comment which has become
stale since the idle rewrite in C.

This crash was found and fix confirmed with a machine check injection
test in qemu powernv model (which is not upstream in qemu yet).

Which was unexpected. The warning is checking the thread.regs-&gt;msr
value of the task we are switching from:

  usermsr = tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr;
  ...
  WARN_ON((usermsr &amp; MSR_VSX) &amp;&amp; !((usermsr &amp; MSR_FP) &amp;&amp; (usermsr &amp; MSR_VEC)));

ie. if MSR_VSX is set then both of MSR_FP and MSR_VEC are also set.

Dumping tsk-&gt;thread.regs-&gt;msr we see that it's: 0x1db60000

Which is not a normal looking MSR, in fact the only valid bit is
MSR_VSX, all the other bits are reserved in the current definition of
the MSR.

We can see from the oops that it was swapper/0 that we were switching
from when we hit the warning, ie. init_task. So its thread.regs points
to the base (high addresses) in init_stack.

Dumping the content of init_task-&gt;thread.regs, with the members of
pt_regs annotated (the 16 bytes larger version), we see:

This looks suspiciously like stack frames, not a pt_regs. If we look
closely we can see return addresses from the stack trace above,
c000000002004820 (start_kernel) and c00000000000c49c (start_here_common).

init_task-&gt;thread.regs is setup at build time in processor.h:

  #define INIT_THREAD  { \
  	.ksp = INIT_SP, \
  	.regs = (struct pt_regs *)INIT_SP - 1, /* XXX bogus, I think */ \

The early boot code where we setup the initial stack is:

  LOAD_REG_ADDR(r3,init_thread_union)

  /* set up a stack pointer */
  LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r1,THREAD_SIZE)
  add	r1,r3,r1
  li	r0,0
  stdu	r0,-STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(r1)

Which creates a stack frame of size 112 bytes (STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD).
Which is far too small to contain a pt_regs.

So the result is init_task-&gt;thread.regs is pointing at some stack
frames on the init stack, not at a pt_regs.

We have gotten away with this for so long because with pt_regs at its
current size the MSR happens to point into the first frame, at a
location that is not written to by the early asm. With the 16 byte
expansion the MSR falls into the second frame, which is used by the
compiler, and collides with a saved register that tends to be
non-zero.

As far as I can see this has been wrong since the original merge of
64-bit ppc support, back in 2002.

Conceptually swapper should have no regs, it never entered from
userspace, and in fact that's what we do on 32-bit. It's also
presumably what the "bogus" comment is referring to.

So I think the right fix is to just not-initialise regs at all. I'm
slightly worried this will break some code that isn't prepared for a
NULL regs, but we'll have to see.

Remove the comment in head_64.S which refers to us setting up the
regs (even though we never did), and is otherwise not really accurate
any more.

As far as I can see this has been wrong since the original merge of
64-bit ppc support, back in 2002.

Conceptually swapper should have no regs, it never entered from
userspace, and in fact that's what we do on 32-bit. It's also
presumably what the "bogus" comment is referring to.

So I think the right fix is to just not-initialise regs at all. I'm
slightly worried this will break some code that isn't prepared for a
NULL regs, but we'll have to see.

Remove the comment in head_64.S which refers to us setting up the
regs (even though we never did), and is otherwise not really accurate
any more.

<title>powerpc/crashkernel: Take "mem=" option into account</title>

[ Upstream commit be5470e0c285a68dc3afdea965032f5ddc8269d7 ]

'mem=" option is an easy way to put high pressure on memory during
some test. Hence after applying the memory limit, instead of total
mem, the actual usable memory should be considered when reserving mem
for crashkernel. Otherwise the boot up may experience OOM issue.

E.g. it would reserve 4G prior to the change and 512M afterward, if
passing
crashkernel="2G-4G:384M,4G-16G:512M,16G-64G:1G,64G-128G:2G,128G-:4G",
and mem=5G on a 256G machine.

This issue is powerpc specific because it puts higher priority on
fadump and kdump reservation than on "mem=". Referring the following
code:
    if (fadump_reserve_mem() == 0)
            reserve_crashkernel();
    ...
    /* Ensure that total memory size is page-aligned. */
    limit = ALIGN(memory_limit ?: memblock_phys_mem_size(), PAGE_SIZE);
    memblock_enforce_memory_limit(limit);

While on other arches, the effect of "mem=" takes a higher priority
and pass through memblock_phys_mem_size() before calling
reserve_crashkernel().

<title>powerpc/64s: Save FSCR to init_task.thread.fscr after feature init</title>

commit 912c0a7f2b5daa3cbb2bc10f303981e493de73bd upstream.

At boot the FSCR is initialised via one of two paths. On most systems
it's set to a hard coded value in __init_FSCR().

On newer skiboot systems we use the device tree CPU features binding,
where firmware can tell Linux what bits to set in FSCR (and HFSCR).

In both cases the value that's configured at boot is not propagated
into the init_task.thread.fscr value prior to the initial fork of init
(pid 1), which means the value is not used by any processes other than
swapper (the idle task).

For the __init_FSCR() case this is OK, because the value in
init_task.thread.fscr is initialised to something sensible. However it
does mean that the value set in __init_FSCR() is not used other than
for swapper, which is odd and confusing.

The bigger problem is for the device tree CPU features case it
prevents firmware from setting (or clearing) FSCR bits for use by user
space. This means all existing kernels can not have features
enabled/disabled by firmware if those features require
setting/clearing FSCR bits.

We can handle both cases by saving the FSCR value into
init_task.thread.fscr after we have initialised it at boot. This fixes
the bug for device tree CPU features, and will allow us to simplify
the initialisation for the __init_FSCR() case in a future patch.

<title>powerpc/64s: Don't let DT CPU features set FSCR_DSCR</title>

commit 993e3d96fd08c3ebf7566e43be9b8cd622063e6d upstream.

The device tree CPU features binding includes FSCR bit numbers which
Linux is instructed to set by firmware.

Whether that's a good idea or not, in the case of the DSCR the Linux
implementation has a hard requirement that the FSCR_DSCR bit not be
set by default. We use it to track when a process reads/writes to
DSCR, so it must be clear to begin with.

So if firmware tells us to set FSCR_DSCR we must ignore it.

Currently this does not cause a bug in our DSCR handling because the
value of FSCR that the device tree CPU features code establishes is
only used by swapper. All other tasks use the value hard coded in
init_task.thread.fscr.

However we'd like to fix that in a future commit, at which point this
will become necessary.
