2020-06-02powerpc/64s: Don't set FSCR bits in INIT_THREADGravatar Michael Ellerman 1-1/+0
Since the previous commit that saves the value of FSCR configured at boot into init_task.thread.fscr, the static initialisation in INIT_THREAD now no longer has any effect. So remove it. For non DT CPU features, the end result is the same, because __init_FSCR() is called on all CPUs that have an FSCR (Power8, Power9), and it sets FSCR_TAR & FSCR_EBB.

2020-05-19powerpc/watchpoint: Prepare handler to handle more than one watchpointGravatar Ravi Bangoria 1-1/+1
Currently we assume that we have only one watchpoint supported by hw. Get rid of that assumption and use dynamic loop instead. This should make supporting more watchpoints very easy. With more than one watchpoint, exception handler needs to know which DAWR caused the exception, and hw currently does not provide it. So we need sw logic for the same. To figure out which DAWR caused the exception, check all different combinations of user specified range, DAWR address range, actual access range and DAWRX constrains. For ex, if user specified range and actual access range overlaps but DAWRX is configured for readonly watchpoint and the instruction is store, this DAWR must not have caused exception.

So far we had only one watchpoint, so we have hardcoded HBP_NUM to 1. But Power10 is introducing 2nd DAWR and thus kernel should be able to dynamically find actual number of watchpoints supported by hw it's running on. Introduce function for the same.

If we look closely we can see return addresses from the stack trace above, c000000002004820 (start_kernel) and c00000000000c49c (start_here_common). init_task->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->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.

2020-04-20powerpc: Use mm_context vas_windows counter to issue CP_ABORTGravatar Haren Myneni 1-1/+0
set_thread_uses_vas() sets used_vas flag for a process that opened VAS window and issue CP_ABORT during context switch for only that process. In multi-thread application, windows can be shared. For example Thread A can open a window and Thread B can run COPY/PASTE instructions to send NX request which may cause corruption or snooping or a covert channel Also once this flag is set, continue to run CP_ABORT even the VAS window is closed. So define vas-windows counter in process mm_context, increment this counter for each window open and decrement it for window close. If vas-windows is set, issue CP_ABORT during context switch. It means clear the foreign real address mapping only if the process / thread uses COPY/PASTE. Then disable it for that process if windows are not open. Moved set_thread_uses_vas() code to vas_tx_win_open() as this functionality is needed only for userspace open windows. We are adding VAS userspace support along with this fix. So no need to include this fix in stable releases.

2020-02-18powerpc/32s: Fix DSI and ISI exceptions for CONFIG_VMAP_STACKGravatar Christophe Leroy 1-0/+4
hash_page() needs to read page tables from kernel memory. When entire kernel memory is mapped by BATs, which is normally the case when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is not set, it works even if the page hosting the page table is not referenced in the MMU hash table. However, if the page where the page table resides is not covered by a BAT, a DSI fault can be encountered from hash_page(), and it loops forever. This can happen when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected and the alignment of the different regions is too small to allow covering the entire memory with BATs. This also happens when CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is selected or when booting with 'nobats' flag. Also, if the page containing the kernel stack is not present in the MMU hash table, registers cannot be saved and a recursive DSI fault is encountered. To allow hash_page() to properly do its job at all time and load the MMU hash table whenever needed, it must run with data MMU disabled. This means it must be called before re-enabling data MMU. To allow this, registers clobbered by hash_page() and create_hpte() have to be saved in the thread struct together with SRR0, SSR1, DAR and DSISR. It is also necessary to ensure that DSI prolog doesn't overwrite regs saved by prolog of the current running exception. That means: - DSI can only use SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH0 - Exceptions must free SPRN_SPRG_SCRATCH0 before writing to the stack. This also fixes the Oops reported by Erhard when create_hpte() is called by add_hash_page(). Due to prolog size increase, a few more exceptions had to get split in two parts.

2020-01-26powerpc/32: prepare for CONFIG_VMAP_STACKGravatar Christophe Leroy 1-0/+6
To support CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, the kernel has to activate Data MMU Translation for accessing the stack. Before doing that it must save SRR0, SRR1 and also DAR and DSISR when relevant, in order to not loose them in case there is a Data TLB Miss once the translation is reactivated. This patch adds fields in thread struct for saving those registers.

2019-04-30powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in CGravatar Nicholas Piggin 1-3/+6
Reimplement Book3S idle code in C, moving POWER7/8/9 implementation speific HV idle code to the powernv platform code. Book3S assembly stubs are kept in common code and used only to save the stack frame and non-volatile GPRs before executing architected idle instructions, and restoring the stack and reloading GPRs then returning to C after waking from idle. The complex logic dealing with threads and subcores, locking, SPRs, HMIs, timebase resync, etc., is all done in C which makes it more maintainable. This is not a strict translation to C code, there are some significant differences: - Idle wakeup no longer uses the ->cpu_restore call to reinit SPRs, but saves and restores them itself. - The optimisation where EC=ESL=0 idle modes did not have to save GPRs or change MSR is restored, because it's now simple to do. ESL=1 sleeps that do not lose GPRs can use this optimization too. - KVM secondary entry and cede is now more of a call/return style rather than branchy. nap_state_lost is not required because KVM always returns via NVGPR restoring path. - KVM secondary wakeup from offline sequence is moved entirely into the offline wakeup, which avoids a hwsync in the normal idle wakeup path. Performance measured with context switch ping-pong on different threads or cores, is possibly improved a small amount, 1-3% depending on stop state and core vs thread test for shallow states. Deep states it's in the noise compared with other latencies. KVM improvements: - Idle sleepers now always return to caller rather than branch out to KVM first. - This allows optimisations like very fast return to caller when no state has been lost. - KVM no longer requires nap_state_lost because it controls NVGPR save/restore itself on the way in and out. - The heavy idle wakeup KVM request check can be moved out of the normal host idle code and into the not-performance-critical offline code. - KVM nap code now returns from where it is called, which makes the flow a bit easier to follow.

2019-04-21powerpc/32s: Implement Kernel Userspace Access ProtectionGravatar Christophe Leroy 1-0/+3
This patch implements Kernel Userspace Access Protection for book3s/32. Due to limitations of the processor page protection capabilities, the protection is only against writing. read protection cannot be achieved using page protection. The previous patch modifies the page protection so that RW user pages are RW for Key 0 and RO for Key 1, and it sets Key 0 for both user and kernel. This patch changes userspace segment registers are set to Ku 0 and Ks 1. When kernel needs to write to RW pages, the associated segment register is then changed to Ks 0 in order to allow write access to the kernel. In order to avoid having the read all segment registers when locking/unlocking the access, some data is kept in the thread_struct and saved on stack on exceptions. The field identifies both the first unlocked segment and the first segment following the last unlocked one. When no segment is unlocked, it contains value 0. As the hash_page() function is not able to easily determine if a protfault is due to a bad kernel access to userspace, protfaults need to be handled by handle_page_fault when KUAP is set.

2018-10-14powerpc/64s/hash: Add a SLB preload cacheGravatar Nicholas Piggin 1-0/+1
When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads. Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused. Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that is an obvious win for common workloads. With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%). POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not see a big gain like POWER9. Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary loading.

PPR is the odd register out when it comes to interrupt handling, it is saved in current->thread.ppr while all others are saved on the stack. The difficulty with this is that accessing thread.ppr can cause a SLB fault, but the SLB fault handler implementation in C change had assumed the normal exception entry handlers would not cause an SLB fault. Fix this by allocating room in the interrupt stack to save PPR. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Commit f4ea6dcb08ea ("powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB") increased the task size on book3s, and introduced a mechanism to dynamically control whether a task uses these larger addresses. While the change to the task size itself was ifdef-protected to only apply on book3s, the change to STACK_TOP_USER64 was not. On book3e, this had the effect of trying to use addresses up to 128TiB for the stack despite a 64TiB task size limit -- which broke 64-bit userspace producing the following errors: Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14) Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -14) Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

2017-04-01powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TBGravatar Aneesh Kumar K.V 1-6/+17
Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB addresses and leads to crashes. To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space above 128TB by default. But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB. If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than from 128TB window. This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual address space. This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with larger addresses and other that do not. A sample memory layout looks like: 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10029630000-10029660000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7fff834a0000-7fff834b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff834b0000-7fff83670000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83670000-7fff83680000 r--p 001b0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83680000-7fff83690000 rw-p 001c0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83690000-7fff836a0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff836a0000-7fff836c0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fff836c0000-7fff83700000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83700000-7fff83710000 r--p 00030000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83710000-7fff83720000 rw-p 00040000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fffdccf0000-7fffdcd20000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 1000000000000-1000000010000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 1ffff83710000-1ffff83720000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

2017-01-31powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to power9_idle_stopGravatar Gautham R. Shenoy 1-1/+2
The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree. This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree. In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System Vector. The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the firmware. This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the mask for all the stop states can be found here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2016-September/004869.html [Optimize the number of instructions before entering STOP with ESL=EC=0, validate the PSSCR values provided by the firimware maintains the invariants required as per the ISA suggested by Balbir Singh] Acked-by: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

2016-11-16locking/core, arch: Remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()Gravatar Christian Borntraeger 1-1/+0
As there are no users left, we can remove cpu_relax_lowlatency() implementations from every architecture.

2016-11-16locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()Gravatar Christian Borntraeger 1-0/+1
For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax(). For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency. For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment. On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the hypervisor to give up the timeslice. In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies. In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield that can be called in places where yielding is more important than latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.
