This fixes a regression reported by Kamalesh Bulabel where a POWER4 machine would crash because of an SLB miss at a point where the SLB miss exception was unrecoverable. This regression is tracked at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10082 SLB misses at such points shouldn't happen because the kernel stack is the only memory accessed other than things in the first segment of the linear mapping (which is mapped at all times by entry 0 of the SLB). The context switch code ensures that SLB entry 2 covers the kernel stack, if it is not already covered by entry 0. None of entries 0 to 2 are ever replaced by the SLB miss handler. Where this went wrong is that the context switch code assumes it doesn't have to write to SLB entry 2 if the new kernel stack is in the same segment as the old kernel stack, since entry 2 should already be correct. However, when we start up a secondary cpu, it calls slb_initialize, which doesn't set up entry 2. This is correct for the boot cpu, where we will be using a stack in the kernel BSS at this point (i.e. init_thread_union), but not necessarily for secondary cpus, whose initial stack can be allocated anywhere. This doesn't cause any immediate problem since the SLB miss handler will just create an SLB entry somewhere else to cover the initial stack. In fact it's possible for the cpu to go quite a long time without SLB entry 2 being valid. Eventually, though, the entry created by the SLB miss handler will get overwritten by some other entry, and if the next access to the stack is at an unrecoverable point, we get the crash. This fixes the problem by making slb_initialize create a suitable entry for the kernel stack, if we are on a secondary cpu and the stack isn't covered by SLB entry 0. This requires initializing the get_paca()->kstack field earlier, so I do that in smp_create_idle where the current field is initialized. This also abstracts a bit of the computation that mk_esid_data in slb.c does so that it can be used in slb_initialize. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> |
