litmus-rt-ext-res.git/arch/powerpc, branch EXT-RES LITMUS^RT with extended reservations for Forbidden Zones paper @ RTAS'20 powerpc/tm: Fix FP and VMX register corruption 2017-05-25T13:44:43+00:00 Michael Neuling mikey@neuling.org 2017-05-08T07:16:26+00:00 a685601f85331ec7f8cda1975bddba311441f333 commit f48e91e87e67b56bef63393d1a02c6e22c1d7078 upstream. In commit dc3106690b20 ("powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers"), a section of code was removed that copied the current state to checkpointed state. That code should not have been removed. When an FP (Floating Point) unavailable is taken inside a transaction, we need to abort the transaction. This is because at the time of the tbegin, the FP state is bogus so the state stored in the checkpointed registers is incorrect. To fix this, we treclaim (to get the checkpointed GPRs) and then copy the thread_struct FP live state into the checkpointed state. We then trecheckpoint so that the FP state is correctly restored into the CPU. The copying of the FP registers from live to checkpointed is what was missing. This simplifies the logic slightly from the original patch. tm_reclaim_thread() will now always write the checkpointed FP state. Either the checkpointed FP state will be written as part of the actual treclaim (in tm.S), or it'll be a copy of the live state. Which one we use is based on MSR[FP] from userspace.

Debug interrupts can be taken during interrupt entry, since interrupt
entry does not automatically turn them off.  The kernel will check

commit 9765ad134a00a01cbcc69c78ff6defbfad209bc5 upstream.

powerpc expects IRQs to already be (soft) disabled when switch_mm() is
called, as made clear in the commit message of 9c1e105238c4 ("powerpc: Allow
perf_counters to access user memory at interrupt time").

Aside from any race conditions that might exist between switch_mm() and an IRQ,
there is also an unconditional hard_irq_disable() in switch_slb(). If that isn't
followed at some point by an IRQ enable then interrupts will remain disabled
until we return to userspace.

It is true that when switch_mm() is called from the scheduler IRQs are off, but
not when it's called by use_mm(). Looking closer we see that last year in commit
f98db6013c55 ("sched/core: Add switch_mm_irqs_off() and use it in the scheduler")
this was made more explicit by the addition of switch_mm_irqs_off() which is now
called by the scheduler, vs switch_mm() which is used by use_mm().

Arguably it is a bug in use_mm() to call switch_mm() in a different context than
it expects, but fixing that will take time.

This was discovered recently when vhost started throwing warnings such as:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:578

Prior to commit 04b96e5528ca ("vhost: lockless enqueuing") (Aug 2016) the
vhost_worker() would do a spin_unlock_irq() not long after calling use_mm(),
which had the effect of reenabling IRQs. Since that commit removed the locking
in vhost_worker() the body of the vhost_worker() loop now runs with interrupts
off causing the warnings.

This patch addresses the problem by making the powerpc code mirror the x86 code,
ie. we disable interrupts in switch_mm(), and optimise the scheduler case by
defining switch_mm_irqs_off().

Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for
powerpc architecture. On panic, kernel doesn't write message to
/fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all).

This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting
PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG flag.

powerpc: Correctly disable latent entropy GCC plugin on prom_init.o 2017-05-14T12:00:14+00:00 Andrew Donnellan andrew.donnellan@au1.ibm.com 2016-12-06T06:27:59+00:00 1641bb14e8be44579b5854f7b89e145d95a291ab commit eac6f8b0c7adb003776dbad9d037ee2fc64f9d62 upstream. Commit 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin") excludes certain powerpc early boot code from the latent entropy plugin by adding appropriate CFLAGS. It looks like this was supposed to cover prom_init.o, but ended up saying init.o (which doesn't exist) instead. Fix the typo.

powerpc/ftrace: Fix confusing help text for DISABLE_MPROFILE_KERNEL 2017-05-14T12:00:14+00:00 Anton Blanchard anton@samba.org 2017-02-10T01:16:59+00:00 b47a6b40655b56bd4e578cb079013b666c9626fd commit 496e9cb5b2aa2ba303d2bbd08518f9be2219ab4b upstream. The final paragraph of the help text is reversed. We want to enable this option by default, and disable it if the toolchain has a working -mprofile-kernel.
