powerpc/book3s/mce: Move add_taint() later in virtual mode

2017-05-25T13:46:22Z

commit d93b0ac01a9ce276ec39644be47001873d3d183c upstream. machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way back to opal_return. This usually leads to unexpected behaviour or the kernel to panic. Instead move the add_taint() call later in the virtual mode where it is safe to call. This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo. Fixes: 27ea2c420cad ("powerpc: Set the correct kernel taint on machine check errors.")

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34Z

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01Z

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al: PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*' sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \ $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h) to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

powerpc Don't print misleading facility name in facility unavailable exception

2016-12-02T02:00:53Z

The current facility_strings[] are correct when the trap address is 0xf80 (hypervisor facility unavailable). When the trap address is 0xf60 (facility unavailable) IC (Interruption Cause) a.k.a status in the code is undefined for values 0 and 1. Add a check to prevent printing the (misleading) facility name for IC 0 and 1 when we came in via 0xf60. In all cases, print the actual IC value, to avoid any confusion. This hasn't been seen on real hardware, on only qemu which was misreporting an exception.

powerpc: Change places using CONFIG_KEXEC to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead.

2016-11-30T12:15:11Z

Commit 2965faa5e03d ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in. These options can be set independently from each other. Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.

powerpc/kprobes: Invoke handlers directly

2016-11-23T11:56:25Z

Invoke the kprobe handlers directly rather than through notify_die(), to reduce path taken for handling kprobes. Similar to commit 6f6343f53d13 ("kprobes/x86: Call exception handlers directly from do_int3/do_debug"). While at it, rename post_kprobe_handler() to kprobe_post_handler() for more uniform naming.

powerpc: Fix second nested oops hang

2016-11-18T11:40:42Z

When ending an oops, don't clear die_owner unless the nest count went to zero. This prevents a second nested oops from hanging forever on the die_lock. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Fix graceful debugger recovery

2016-11-18T11:40:42Z

When exiting xmon with 'x' (exit and recover), oops_begin bails out immediately, but die then calls __die() and oops_end(), which cause a lot of bad things to happen. If the debugger was attached then went to graceful recovery, exit from die() immediately. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Revert Load Monitor Register Support

Load monitored is no longer supported on POWER9 so let's remove the code. This reverts commit bd3ea317fddf ("powerpc: Load Monitor Register Support"). Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Add support for relative exception tables

2016-11-14T00:11:51Z

This halves the exception table size on 64-bit builds, and it allows build-time sorting of exception tables to work on relocated kernels. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin [mpe: Minor asm fixups and bits to keep the selftests working] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
