powerpc: Sort the selects under CONFIG_PPC

2017-03-06T12:05:42Z

We have a big list of selects under CONFIG_PPC, and currently they're completely unsorted. This means people tend to add new selects at the bottom of the list, and so two commits which both add a new select will often conflict. Instead sort it alphabetically. This is nicer in and of itself, but also means two commits that add a new select will have a greater chance of not conflicting. Add a note at the top and bottom asking people to keep it sorted. And while we're here pad out the 'if' expressions to make them stand out. Suggested-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Highlights include: - Support for direct mapped LPC on POWER9, giving Linux direct access to devices that may be on there such as a UART. - Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU. - Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to be used by glibc. - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's hash table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when memory is hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash table to be sized based on the current memory usage of the guest, rather than the maximum possible memory usage. - Implementation of optprobes (kprobe optimisation) for powerpc. In addition there's the topic branch shared with the KVM tree, which includes support for guests to use the Radix MMU on Power9.

powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes

2017-02-10T02:28:04Z

Current infrastructure of kprobe uses the unconditional trap instruction to probe a running kernel. Optprobe allows kprobe to replace the trap with a branch instruction to a detour buffer. Detour buffer contains instructions to create an in memory pt_regs. Detour buffer also has a call to optimized_callback() which in turn call the pre_handler(). After the execution of the pre-handler, a call is made for instruction emulation. The NIP is determined in advanced through dummy instruction emulation and a branch instruction is created to the NIP at the end of the trampoline. To address the limitation of branch instruction in POWER architecture, detour buffer slot is allocated from a reserved area. For the time being, 64KB is reserved in memory for this purpose. Instructions which can be emulated using analyse_instr() are the candidates for optimization. Before optimization ensure that the address range between the detour buffer allocated and the instruction being probed is within +/- 32MB. Signed-off-by: Anju T Sudhakar Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

2017-02-03T16:28:25Z

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value. This has a couple of downsides: - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes for each CRC on 64 bit architectures, - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R__RELATIVE relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the core module code) - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for CRCs. Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC value is stored. So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the __CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use 32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained for 32-bit architectures. Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y") Acked-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

powerpc: Enable support for GCC plugins

Enable support for GCC plugins on powerpc. Add an additional version check in gcc-plugins-check to advise users to upgrade to gcc 5.2+ on powerpc to avoid issues with header files (gcc <= 4.6) or missing copies of rs6000-cpus.def (4.8 to 5.1 on 64-bit targets).

powerpc/64: Move HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING from pseries to common Kconfig

2017-02-02T05:35:24Z

We added support for HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING, but placed the option inside PPC_PSERIES. This has the undesirable effect that NO_HZ_FULL can be enabled on a kernel with both powernv and pseries support, but cannot on a kernel with powernv only support.
