There is support for the kernel to execute the 'sc 0' instruction and
make a system call to itself. This is a relic that is unused in the

[mpe: Rebase since CURRENT_THREAD_INFO() removal]
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Kernel Userspace Access Prevention utilises a feature of the Radix MMU
which disallows read and write access to userspace addresses. By
utilising this, the kernel is prevented from accessing user data from
outside of trusted paths that perform proper safety checks, such as
copy_{to/from}_user() and friends.
Userspace access is disabled from early boot and is only enabled when
performing an operation like copy_{to/from}_user(). The register that
controls this (AMR) does not prevent userspace from accessing itself,
so there is no need to save and restore when entering and exiting
userspace.
When entering the kernel from the kernel we save AMR and if it is not
blocking user access (because eg. we faulted doing a user access) we
reblock user access for the duration of the exception (ie. the page
fault) and then restore the AMR when returning back to the kernel.
This feature can be tested by using the lkdtm driver (CONFIG_LKDTM=y)
and performing the following:
# (echo ACCESS_USERSPACE) > [debugfs]/provoke-crash/DIRECT
If enabled, this should send SIGSEGV to the thread.
We also add paranoid checking of AMR in switch and syscall return
under CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG.

Currently in system_call_exit() we have an optimisation where we
disable MSR_RI (recoverable interrupt) and MSR_EE (external interrupt
enable) in a single mtmsrd instruction.
Unfortunately this will no longer work with THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK,
because then the load of TI_FLAGS might fault and faulting with MSR_RI
clear is treated as an unrecoverable exception which leads to a
panic().
So change the code to only clear MSR_EE prior to loading TI_FLAGS,
leaving the clear of MSR_RI until later. We have some latitude in
where do the clear of MSR_RI. A bit of experimentation has shown that
this location gives the least slow down.
This still causes a noticeable slow down in our null_syscall
performance. On a Power9 DD2.2:
Before After Delta Delta %
955 cycles 999 cycles -44 -4.6%
On the plus side this does simplify the code somewhat, because we
don't have to reenable MSR_RI on the restore_math() or
syscall_exit_work() paths which was necessitated previously by the
optimisation.

The ppc64 specific implementation of the reliable stacktracer,
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable(), bails out and reports an "unreliable
trace" whenever it finds an exception frame on the stack. Stack frames
are classified as exception frames if the STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER
magic, as written by exception prologues, is found at a particular
location.
However, as observed by Joe Lawrence, it is possible in practice that
non-exception stack frames can alias with prior exception frames and
thus, that the reliable stacktracer can find a stale
STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER on the stack. It in turn falsely reports an
unreliable stacktrace and blocks any live patching transition to
finish. Said condition lasts until the stack frame is
overwritten/initialized by function call or other means.
In principle, we could mitigate this by making the exception frame
classification condition in save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() stronger:
in addition to testing for STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER, we could also take
into account that for all exceptions executing on the kernel stack
- their stack frames's backlink pointers always match what is saved
in their pt_regs instance's ->gpr[1] slot and that
- their exception frame size equals STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, a value
uncommonly large for non-exception frames.
However, while these are currently true, relying on them would make
the reliable stacktrace implementation more sensitive towards future
changes in the exception entry code. Note that false negatives, i.e.
not detecting exception frames, would silently break the live patching
consistency model.
Furthermore, certain other places (diagnostic stacktraces, perf, xmon)
rely on STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER as well.
Make the exception exit code clear the on-stack
STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER for those exceptions running on the "normal"
kernel stack and returning to kernelspace: because the topmost frame
is ignored by the reliable stack tracer anyway, returns to userspace
don't need to take care of clearing the marker.
Furthermore, as I don't have the ability to test this on Book 3E or 32
bits, limit the change to Book 3S and 64 bits.

As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage

Moving TIF_32BIT to use bit 20 instead of 4 in the task flag field.
This change is making room for an upcoming new task macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU) which is preferred to set a bit in the lower 16-bits
part of the word.
This upcoming flag macro will take part in a composed macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE) which will contain other flags as well, and it is
preferred that the whole _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE macro only sets the lower 16
bits of a word, so, it could be handled using immediate operations (as load
immediate, add immediate, ...) where the immediate operand (SI) is limited
to 16-bits.
Another possible solution would be using the LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() macro
to load a full 64-bits word immediate, but it takes 5 operations instead of
one.
Having TIF_32BITS being redefined to use an upper bit is not a problem
since there is only one place in the assembly code where TIF_32BIT is being
used, and it could be replaced with an operation with right shift (addis),
since it is used alone, i.e. not being part of a composed macro, which has
different bits set, and would require LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE().

When the masked interrupt handler clears MSR[EE] for an interrupt in

This makes them get out of synch.
With that taken into account, it's only low level irq manipulation
(and interrupt entry before reconcile) where they can be out of synch.
This makes the code less surprising.
It also allows the IRQ replay code to rely on the IRQ_HARD_DIS value
and not have to mtmsrd again in this case (e.g., for an external
interrupt that has been masked). The bigger benefit might just be
that there is not such an element of surprise in these two bits of

Currently we do not have an isync, or any other context synchronizing
instruction prior to the slbie/slbmte in _switch() that updates the
SLB entry for the kernel stack.
However that is not correct as outlined in the ISA.
From Power ISA Version 3.0B, Book III, Chapter 11, page 1133:
"Changing the contents of ... the contents of SLB entries ... can
have the side effect of altering the context in which data
addresses and instruction addresses are interpreted, and in which
instructions are executed and data accesses are performed.
...
These side effects need not occur in program order, and therefore
may require explicit synchronization by software.
...
The synchronizing instruction before the context-altering
instruction ensures that all instructions up to and including that
synchronizing instruction are fetched and executed in the context
that existed before the alteration."
And page 1136:
"For data accesses, the context synchronizing instruction before the
slbie, slbieg, slbia, slbmte, tlbie, or tlbiel instruction ensures
that all preceding instructions that access data storage have
completed to a point at which they have reported all exceptions
they will cause."
We're not aware of any bugs caused by this, but it should be fixed
regardless.
Add the missing isync when updating kernel stack SLB entry.

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts.
Currently supported flags values and their details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
1 1 Enabled
"paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as
enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when
interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not
actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the
flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt
paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to
re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any
occured.
Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring
interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends
on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all
possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the
update.
So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New
values and details:
soft_enabled MSR[EE]
1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked)
0 1 Enabled
Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask
value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When
->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when
set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends
soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask.
Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to
IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED.
Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe
value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no
business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in
signal context.

When an interrupt is returning to a soft-disabled context (which can

through the motions of soft-disabling again, including calling
TRACE_DISABLE_INTS (i.e., trace_hardirqs_off()).
This is not necessary, because we must already be soft-disabled in the

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU

Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's
annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not
quite annoying enough to bother removing one.
However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where
CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the
Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing
to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when
the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true.

Blacklist all functions involved while handling a trap. We:
- convert some of the symbols into private symbols, and
- blacklist most functions involved while handling a trap.

It is actually safe to probe system_call() in entry_64.S, but only till
we unset MSR_RI. To allow this, add a new symbol system_call_exit()
after the mtmsrd and blacklist that.

It is common to get a PMU interrupt right after the mtmsr instruction that
enables interrupts. Due to this, the stack trace profile gets needlessly split
across system_call_common() and system_call().
Previously, system_call() symbol was at the current place to hide a few
earlier symbols which have since been made private or removed entirely.
So, let's move system_call() slightly higher up, right after the mtmsr
instruction that enables interrupts. Convert existing references to
system_call to a local syscall symbol.

Convert some of the symbols into private symbols and blacklist
system_call_common() and system_call() from kprobes. We can't take a
trap at parts of these functions as either MSR_RI is unset or the
kernel stack pointer is not yet setup.

The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching
to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to
accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous
thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can
be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented.
POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context
switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from
a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer.
This increases context switch performance by about 5% on POWER9.

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.
Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.
This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.

There is no need to explicitly break the reservation in _switch,
because we are guaranteed that the context switch path will include a
larx/stcx.
Comment the guarantee and remove the reservation clear from _switch.
This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance.
