[ Upstream commit 1a14150e1656f7a332a943154fc486504db4d586 ]

Reading the dispatch trace log from /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dtl/cpu-*
results in a BUG() when the config CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled as
shown below.

Commit 6d07d1cd300f ("usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0")
requires that only whitelisted areas in slab/slub objects can be copied to
userspace when usercopy hardening is enabled using CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
Dtl contains hypervisor dispatch events which are expected to be read by
privileged users. Hence mark this safe for user access.
Specify useroffset=0 and usersize=DISPATCH_LOG_BYTES to whitelist the
entire object.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Fix scv instruction crash with kexec</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 21a741eb75f80397e5f7d3739e24d7d75e619011 upstream.

kexec on pseries disables AIL (reloc_on_exc), required for scv
instruction support, before other CPUs have been shut down. This means
they can execute scv instructions after AIL is disabled, which causes an
interrupt at an unexpected entry location that crashes the kernel.

Change the kexec sequence to disable AIL after other CPUs have been
brought down.

As a refresher, the real-mode scv interrupt vector is 0x17000, and the
fixed-location head code probably couldn't easily deal with implementing
such high addresses so it was just decided not to support that interrupt
at all.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Rework lppaca_shared_proc() to avoid DEBUG_PREEMPT</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c8568cf4c45b415854195c8832b557cdefba57a</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit eac030b22ea12cdfcbb2e941c21c03964403c63f ]

lppaca_shared_proc() takes a pointer to the lppaca which is typically
accessed through get_lppaca().  With DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, this leads
to checking if preemption is enabled, for example:

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: grep/10693
  caller is lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
  CPU: 4 PID: 10693 Comm: grep Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3 #2
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack_lvl+0x154/0x200 (unreliable)
    check_preemption_disabled+0x214/0x220
    lparcfg_data+0x408/0x19a0
    ...

This isn't actually a problem however, as it does not matter which
lppaca is accessed, the shared proc state will be the same.
vcpudispatch_stats_procfs_init() already works around this by disabling
preemption, but the lparcfg code does not, erroring any time
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is accessed with DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.

Instead of disabling preemption on the caller side, rework
lppaca_shared_proc() to not take a pointer and instead directly access
the lppaca, bypassing any potential preemption checks.

Add firmware version details to the hardware description, which is
printed at boot and in case of an oops.

Use /hypervisor if we find it, though currently it only exists if we're
running under qemu.

Look for "ibm,powervm-partition" which is specified in PAPR+ v2.11 and
tells us we're running under PowerVM.

Failing that look for "ibm,fw-net-version" which is seen on PowerVM
going back to at least Power6.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Implement CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING</title>
<updated>2022-09-05T04:14:02Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=0e8a63132800dd8ae5fcb19113f79bea43ea18d9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0e8a63132800dd8ae5fcb19113f79bea43ea18d9</id>
<content type='text'>
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN under pseries does not provide stolen
time accounting unless CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING is enabled.
Implement this using the VPA accumulated wait counters.

Note this will not work on current KVM hosts because KVM does not
implement the VPA dispatch counters (yet). It could be implemented
with the dispatch trace log as it is for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE,
but that is not necessary for the more limited accounting provided
by PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING, and it is more expensive, complex, and
has downsides like potential log wrap.

From Shrikanth:

  [...] it was tested on Power10 [PowerVM] Shared LPAR. system has two
  LPAR. we will call first one LPAR1 and second one as LPAR2. Test was
  carried out in SMT=1. Similar observation was seen in SMT=8 as well.

  LPAR config header from each LPAR is below. LPAR1 is twice as big as
  LPAR2. Since Both are sharing the same underlying hardware, work
  stealing will happen when both the LPAR's are contending for the same
  resource.

  LPAR1:
  type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=40 cpus=40 ent=20.00
  LPAR2:
  type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=20 cpus=40 ent=10.00

  mpstat was used to check for the utilization. stress-ng has been used
  as the workload. Few cases are tested. when the both LPAR are idle
  there is no steal time. when LPAR1 starts running at 100% which
  consumes all of the physical resource, steal time starts to get
  accounted.  With LPAR1 running at 100% and LPAR2 starts running, steal
  time starts increasing. This is as expected. When the LPAR2 Load is
  increased further, steal time increases further.

  Case 1: 0% LPAR1; 0% LPAR2
   %usr  %nice   %sys %iowait  %irq  %soft %steal %guest %gnice  %idle
   0.00   0.00   0.05   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00  99.95

  Case 2: 100% LPAR1; 0% LPAR2
   %usr  %nice   %sys %iowait  %irq  %soft %steal %guest %gnice  %idle
  97.68   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   2.32   0.00   0.00   0.00

  Case 3: 100% LPAR1; 50% LPAR2
   %usr  %nice   %sys %iowait  %irq  %soft %steal %guest %gnice  %idle
  86.34   0.00   0.10   0.00   0.00   0.03  13.54   0.00   0.00   0.00

  Case 4: 100% LPAR1; 100% LPAR2
   %usr  %nice   %sys %iowait  %irq  %soft %steal %guest %gnice  %idle
  78.54   0.00   0.07   0.00   0.00   0.02  21.36   0.00   0.00   0.00

  Case 5: 50% LPAR1; 100% LPAR2
   %usr  %nice   %sys %iowait  %irq  %soft %steal %guest %gnice  %idle
  49.37   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   0.00   1.17   0.00   0.00  49.47

  Patch is accounting for the steal time and basic tests are holding
  good.

<title>powerpc/pseries: register pseries-wdt device with platform bus</title>

<id>urn:sha1:578030bfe117060bf86c81aaa7b3faead4589810</id>
<content type='text'>
PAPR v2.12 defines a new hypercall, H_WATCHDOG.  The hypercall permits
guest control of one or more virtual watchdog timers.

These timers do not conform to PowerPC device conventions.  They are
not affixed to any extant bus, nor do they have full representation in
the device tree.

As a workaround we represent them as platform devices.

This patch registers a single platform device, "pseries-wdt", with the
platform bus if the FW_FEATURE_WATCHDOG flag is set.

A driver for this device, "pseries-wdt", will be introduced in a
subsequent patch.

There is no need to read the H_BLOCK_REMOVE characteristics when running in
Radix mode because this hcall is never called.

Furthermore since the commit 387e220a2e5e ("powerpc/64s: Move hash MMU
support code under CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU") define
pseries_lpar_read_hblkrm_characteristics as un empty function if
CONFIG_PPC_64S_HASH_MMU is not set, the #ifdef block can be removed.

<content type='text'>
The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call. Fortunately,
each platform already has a setup_arch function pointer, which means
it's easy to wire this up. This commit also removes some noisy log
messages that don't add much.
