[ Upstream commit 2400fd822f467cb4c886c879d8ad99feac9cf319 ]

The workaround for the CELL timebase bug does not correctly mark cr0 as
being clobbered. This means GCC doesn't know that the asm block changes cr0 and
might leave the result of an unrelated comparison in cr0 across the block, which
we then trash, leading to basically random behaviour.

We are already using the privileged versions of MMCR0, MMCR1
and MMCRA in the kernel, so for MMCR2, we should better use
the privileged versions, too, to be consistent.

<title>powerpc: Fix definition of SIAR and SDAR registers</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d23fac2b27d94aeb7b65536a50d32bfdc21fe01e ]

The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs
780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs
796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code
currently uses the unprivileged  SPRs - while this is OK for reading,
writing to that register of course does not work.
Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr
in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get
lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM.
To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead.

commit d2b9d2a5ad5ef04ff978c9923d19730cb05efd55 upstream.

Currently we allow both the MSR T and S bits to be set by userspace on
a signal return.  Unfortunately this is a reserved configuration and
will cause a TM Bad Thing exception if attempted (via rfid).

This patch checks for this case in both the 32 and 64 bit signals
code.  If both T and S are set, we mark the context as invalid.

Found using a syscall fuzzer.

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes
sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and
clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we
already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller).  Otherwise
if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for
an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from
going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because
of the interrupt.

<title>powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus</title>

<id>urn:sha1:77b54e9f213f76a23736940cf94bcd765fc00f40</id>
<content type='text'>
Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
sleep.

But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
restored upon wake up.

Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
save and restore rest of the necessary registers.

With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
distingush first thread in core and subcore.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Switch off MMU before entering nap/sleep/rvwinkle mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8117ac6a6c2fa0f847ff6a21a1f32c8d2c8501d0</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in
nap mode (paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap
(or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on.  This is bad
for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions
must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME
and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as
soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest
context.  If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping
on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400.

This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before
setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.

<title>powerpc: Reimplement __get_SP() as a function not a define</title>
<updated>2014-10-15T00:23:19Z</updated>

<published>2014-10-13T08:41:38Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bfe9a2cfe91a1c920f152ce5fd0a9ad74b3daf12'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bfe9a2cfe91a1c920f152ce5fd0a9ad74b3daf12</id>
<content type='text'>
Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP()
implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg
profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the
time.

If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is
tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value
returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can
be found in save_stack_trace -&gt; save_context_stack:

c0000000000432c0 &lt;.save_stack_trace&gt;:
c0000000000432c0:       mflr    r0
c0000000000432c4:       std     r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432c8:       stdu    r1,-128(r1) &lt;-- stack frame for _mcount
c0000000000432cc:       std     r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432d0:       bl      &lt;._mcount&gt;
c0000000000432d4:       nop

c0000000000432d8:       mr      r4,r1 &lt;-- __get_SP()

c0000000000432dc:       ld      r5,632(r13)
c0000000000432e0:       ld      r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432e4:       li      r6,1

c0000000000432e8:       addi    r1,r1,128 &lt;-- pop stack frame

c0000000000432ec:       ld      r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432f0:       mtlr    r0
c0000000000432f4:       b       &lt;.save_context_stack&gt; &lt;-- tail call optimized

save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current
one, and it is likely to be scribbled over.

Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the
callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs
the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with
__get_SP().

This also fixes an issue with perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs().
It currently unwinds the stack once, which will skip a
valid stack frame on a leaf function. With the __get_SP() fixes
in this patch, we never need to unwind the stack frame to get
to the first interesting frame.

We have to export __get_SP() because perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs()
(which is used in modules) calls it from a header file.
