[ Upstream commit bd68ffce69f6cf8ddd3a3c32549d1d2275e49fc5 ]

dlpar_memory_remove_by_index() may access beyond the bounds of the
drmem lmb array when the LMB lookup fails to match an entry with the
given DRC index. When the search fails, the cursor is left pointing to
&amp;drmem_info-&gt;lmbs[drmem_info-&gt;n_lmbs], which is one element past the
last valid entry in the array. The debug message at the end of the
function then dereferences this pointer:

        pr_debug("Failed to hot-remove memory at %llx\n",
                 lmb-&gt;base_addr);

This was found by inspection and confirmed with KASAN:

[ Upstream commit 20e9de85edae3a5866f29b6cce87c9ec66d62a1b ]

When attempting to remove by index a set of LMBs a lot of messages are
displayed on the console, even when everything goes fine:

  pseries-hotplug-mem: Attempting to hot-remove LMB, drc index 8000002d
  Offlined Pages 4096
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 2d0000000 was hot-removed

The 2 messages prefixed by "pseries-hotplug-mem" are not really
helpful for the end user, they should be debug outputs.

In case of error, because some of the LMB's pages couldn't be
offlined, the following is displayed on the console:

  pseries-hotplug-mem: Attempting to hot-remove LMB, drc index 8000003e
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Failed to hot-remove memory at 3e0000000
  dlpar: Could not handle DLPAR request "memory remove index 0x8000003e"

Again, the 2 messages prefixed by "pseries-hotplug-mem" are useless,
and the generic DLPAR prefixed message should be enough.

These 2 first changes are mainly triggered by the changes introduced
in drmgr:
  https://groups.google.com/g/powerpc-utils-devel/c/Y6ef4NB3EzM/m/9cu5JHRxAQAJ

Also, when adding a bunch of LMBs, a message is displayed in the console per LMB
like these ones:
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 7e0000000 (drc index 8000007e) was hot-added
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 7f0000000 (drc index 8000007f) was hot-added
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 800000000 (drc index 80000080) was hot-added
  pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 810000000 (drc index 80000081) was hot-added

When adding 1TB of memory and LMB size is 256MB, this leads to 4096
messages to be displayed on the console. These messages are not really
helpful for the end user, so moving them to the DEBUG level.

[ Upstream commit 8ddc6448ec5a5ef50eaa581a7dec0e12a02850ff ]

The associativity details of the newly added resourced are collected from
the hypervisor via "ibm,configure-connector" rtas call. Update the numa
distance details of the newly added numa node after the above call.

Instead of updating NUMA distance every time we lookup a node id
from the associativity property, add helpers that can be used
during boot which does this only once. Also remove the distance
update from node id lookup helpers.

Currently, we duplicate parsing code for ibm,associativity and
ibm,associativity-lookup-arrays in the kernel. The associativity array provided
by these device tree properties are very similar and hence can use
a helper to parse the node id and numa distance details.

<title>pseries/hotplug-memory: hot-add: skip redundant LMB lookup</title>
<updated>2020-10-06T12:22:27Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Scott Cheloha</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=72cdd117c449896c707fc6cfe5b90978160697d0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:72cdd117c449896c707fc6cfe5b90978160697d0</id>
<content type='text'>
During memory hot-add, dlpar_add_lmb() calls memory_add_physaddr_to_nid()
to determine which node id (nid) to use when later calling __add_memory().

This is wasteful.  On pseries, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() finds an
appropriate nid for a given address by looking up the LMB containing the
address and then passing that LMB to of_drconf_to_nid_single() to get the
nid.  In dlpar_add_lmb() we get this address from the LMB itself.

In short, we have a pointer to an LMB and then we are searching for
that LMB *again* in order to find its nid.

If we call of_drconf_to_nid_single() directly from dlpar_add_lmb() we
can skip the redundant lookup.  The only error handling we need to
duplicate from memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is the fallback to the
default nid when drconf_to_nid_single() returns -1 (NUMA_NO_NODE) or
an invalid nid.

Skipping the extra lookup makes hot-add operations faster, especially
on machines with many LMBs.

Consider an LPAR with 126976 LMBs.  In one test, hot-adding 126000
LMBs on an upatched kernel took ~3.5 hours while a patched kernel
completed the same operation in ~2 hours:

Unpatched (12450 seconds):
Sep  9 04:06:31 ltc-brazos1 drmgr[810169]: drmgr: -c mem -a -q 126000
Sep  9 04:06:31 ltc-brazos1 kernel: pseries-hotplug-mem: Attempting to hot-add 126000 LMB(s)
[...]
Sep  9 07:34:01 ltc-brazos1 kernel: pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 20000000 (drc index 80000002) was hot-added

Patched (7065 seconds):
Sep  8 21:49:57 ltc-brazos1 drmgr[877703]: drmgr: -c mem -a -q 126000
Sep  8 21:49:57 ltc-brazos1 kernel: pseries-hotplug-mem: Attempting to hot-add 126000 LMB(s)
[...]
Sep  8 23:27:42 ltc-brazos1 kernel: pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory at 20000000 (drc index 80000002) was hot-added

It should be noted that the speedup grows more substantial when
hot-adding LMBs at the end of the drconf range.  This is because we
are skipping a linear LMB search.

To see the distinction, consider smaller hot-add test on the same
LPAR.  A perf-stat run with 10 iterations showed that hot-adding 4096
LMBs completed less than 1 second faster on a patched kernel:

Unpatched:

This is consistent.  An add-by-count hot-add operation adds LMBs
greedily, so LMBs near the start of the drconf range are considered
first.  On an otherwise idle LPAR with so many LMBs we would expect to
find the LMBs we need near the start of the drconf range, hence the
smaller speedup.

<title>pseries/drmem: don't cache node id in drmem_lmb struct</title>

At memory hot-remove time we can retrieve an LMB's nid from its
corresponding memory_block.  There is no need to store the nid
in multiple locations.

Note that lmb_to_memblock() uses find_memory_block() to get the
corresponding memory_block.  As find_memory_block() runs in sub-linear
time this approach is negligibly slower than what we do at present.

In exchange for this lookup at hot-remove time we no longer need to
call memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() during drmem_init() for each LMB.
On powerpc, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is a linear search, so this
spares us an O(n^2) initialization during boot.

On systems with many LMBs that initialization overhead is palpable and
disruptive.  For example, on a box with 249854 LMBs we're seeing
drmem_init() take upwards of 30 seconds to complete:

With a patched kernel on the same machine we're no longer seeing the
soft lockup.  drmem_init() now completes in negligible time, even when
the LMB count is large.

Booting with a 4GB LMB size causes us to panic:

  qemu-system-ppc64: OS terminated: OS panic:
      Memory block size not suitable: 0x0

Fix pseries_memory_block_size() to handle 64 bit LMBs.
