Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
MCE information.
We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
our MCE information safe on current stack.
We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
(index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.
This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
release_mce_event().
This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.
The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
that event is available for linus host machine
If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

We can get machine checks from any context. We need to make sure that
we handle all of them correctly. If we are coming from hypervisor user-space,
we can continue in host kernel in virtual mode to deliver the MC event.
If we got woken up from power-saving mode then we may come in with one of
the following state:
a. No state loss
b. Supervisor state loss
c. Hypervisor state loss
For (a) and (b), we go back to nap again. State (c) is fatal, keep spinning.
For all other context which we not sure of queue up the MCE event and return

Move machine check entry point into Linux. So far we were dependent on
firmware to decode MCE error details and handover the high level info to OS.
This patch introduces early machine check routine that saves the MCE
information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) to the emergency stack. We allocate
stack frame on emergency stack and set the r1 accordingly. This allows us to be
prepared to take another exception without loosing context. One thing to note
here that, if we get another machine check while ME bit is off then we risk a
checkstop. Hence we restrict ourselves to save only MCE information and
register saved on PACA_EXMC save are before we turn the ME bit on. We use
paca->in_mce flag to differentiate between first entry and nested machine check
entry which helps proper use of emergency stack. We increment paca->in_mce
every time we enter in early machine check handler and decrement it while
leaving. When we enter machine check early handler first time (paca->in_mce ==
0), we are sure nobody is using MC emergency stack and allocate a stack frame
at the start of the emergency stack. During subsequent entry (paca->in_mce >
0), we know that r1 points inside emergency stack and we allocate separate
stack frame accordingly. This prevents us from clobbering MCE information
during nested machine checks.
The early machine check handler changes are placed under CPU_FTR_HVMODE
section. This makes sure that the early machine check handler will get executed
only in hypervisor kernel.
This is the code flow:

This patch introduces exclusive emergency stack for machine check exception.
We use emergency stack to handle machine check exception so that we can save
MCE information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) before turning on ME bit and be
ready for re-entrancy. This helps us to prevent clobbering of MCE information
in case of nested machine checks.
The reason for using emergency stack over normal kernel stack is that the
machine check might occur in the middle of setting up a stack frame which may
result into improper use of kernel stack.

powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts
We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch
was merged.
Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit
this issue (but has never been reported).
Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to. The
new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the
context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when
VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the
state).
This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution. It
also adds a 64 bit version.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails
to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far
dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately
as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address
translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress
translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch
adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for
filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX
state. Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage.
Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state,
we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit.
This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide
enough space. This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user
context.
This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use
VSX but only provide a small context. For example, getcontext in glibc
provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over
the glibc function call. But since the program calling getcontext may have
used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not. If
the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without
VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context. This situation
has been reported by the glibc community.
Based on patch from Carlos O'Donell.

"Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv" added a usage when
SMP=n, breaking the build.
Move cpu_to_chip_id() into prom.c so it is available for SMP=n builds.
We would move the extern to prom.h, but that breaks the include in
topology.h. Instead we leave it in smp.h, but move it out of the
CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. We also need to include asm/smp.h in rng.c, because

After some digging, it seems that it is caused by commit 4886c399da
as dma_mask pointer in viodev->dev is not set, so in

because dma_set_mask(), which is dma_set_mask_pSeriesLP() returned EIO.

Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
making sure it was all finalized.
The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
with gcc, so we are all good. Oh and we actually missed the actual
Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
fixes.
I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one. We'll
bring fixes for that after -rc1.
Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
be merged into glibc soon. There are a number of very nice
improvements including the removal of function descriptors. Rusty's
kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
transition"
* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc:
powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2
powerpc: Add pseries_le_defconfig
powerpc: Add CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN kernel config option.
powerpc: Don't use ELFv2 ABI to build the kernel
powerpc: ELF2 binaries signal handling
powerpc: ELF2 binaries launched directly.
powerpc: Set eflags correctly for ELF ABIv2 core dumps.
powerpc: Add TIF_ELF2ABI flag.
pseries: Add H_SET_MODE to change exception endianness
powerpc/pseries: Fix endian issues in pseries EEH code
I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
fails on little-endian. The problem turned to be that the kernel
installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
record for that trampoline. This CFI describes the save location
for CR:
rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))
which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
little-endian. This is wrong no matter which ABI.
In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
actually wrong, they just will be ignored. So it seems the simplest
fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

Pull DMA mask updates from Russell King:
"This series cleans up the handling of DMA masks in a lot of drivers,
fixing some bugs as we go.
Some of the more serious errors include:
- drivers which only set their coherent DMA mask if the attempt to
set the streaming mask fails.
- drivers which test for a NULL dma mask pointer, and then set the
dma mask pointer to a location in their module .data section -
which will cause problems if the module is reloaded.
To counter these, I have introduced two helper functions:
- dma_set_mask_and_coherent() takes care of setting both the
streaming and coherent masks at the same time, with the correct
error handling as specified by the API.
- dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent() which resolves the problem of
drivers forcefully setting DMA masks. This is more a marker for
future work to further clean these locations up - the code which
creates the devices really should be initialising these, but to fix
that in one go along with this change could potentially be very
disruptive.
The last thing this series does is prise away some of Linux's addition
to "DMA addresses are physical addresses and RAM always starts at
zero". We have ARM LPAE systems where all system memory is above 4GB
physical, hence having DMA masks interpreted by (eg) the block layers
as describing physical addresses in the range 0..DMAMASK fails on
these platforms. Santosh Shilimkar addresses this in this series; the
patches were copied to the appropriate people multiple times but were
ignored.
Fixing this also gets rid of some ARM weirdness in the setup of the
max*pfn variables, and brings ARM into line with every other Linux
architecture as far as those go"

When restoring the PPR value, we incorrectly access the thread structure
at a time where MSR:RI is clear, which means we cannot recover from nested
faults. However the thread structure isn't covered by the "bolted" SLB
entries and thus accessing can fault.
This fixes it by splitting the code so that the PPR value is loaded into
a GPR before MSR:RI is cleared.
