2016-08-29powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal framesCyril Bur
Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the processor in suspended state. sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally.. >From the PowerPC ISA: TM Bad Thing Exception [Category: Transactional Memory] An attempt is made to execute a mtspr targeting a TM register in other than Non-transactional state.

2016-08-23scsi: cxlflash: Transition to application close modelMatthew R. Ochs
Caching the adapter file descriptor and performing a close on behalf of an application is a poor design. This is due to the fact that once a file descriptor in installed, it is free to be altered without the knowledge of the cxlflash driver. This can lead to inconsistencies between the application and kernel. Furthermore, the nature of the former design is more exploitable and thus should be abandoned. To support applications performing a close on the adapter file that is associated with a context, a new flag is introduced to the user API to indicate to applications that they are responsible for the close following the cleanup (detach) of a context. The documentation is also updated to reflect this change in behavior. Inspired-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matthew R. Ochs <mrochs@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Manoj N.

There are also 2 phases: write and verify. The flash operation itself is driven from a user-land tool. Once flashing is successful, an rtas call is made to update the device tree with the new properties values for the adapter and the AFU(s) Add a new char device for the adapter, so that the flash tool can access the card, even if there is no valid AFU on it.

2015-06-19powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactionsSam bobroff
This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this behaviour to userspace. Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active transaction fails. This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390). Performance measurements using http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

2015-04-30Revert "powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions"Michael Ellerman
This reverts commit feba40362b11341bee6d8ed58d54b896abbd9f84. Although the principle of this change is good, the implementation has a few issues. Firstly we can sometimes fail to abort a syscall because r12 may have been clobbered by C code if we went down the virtual CPU accounting path, or if syscall tracing was enabled. Secondly we have decided that it is safer to abort the syscall even earlier in the syscall entry path, so that we avoid the syscall tracing path when we are transactional. So that we have time to thoroughly test those changes we have decided to revert this for this merge window and will merge the fixed version in the next window. NB. Rather than reverting the selftest we just drop tm-syscall from TEST_PROGS so that it's not run by default.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack. There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I still want to sort through and test. The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly thanks to Anton and Rusty. We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for 64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This meant more churn that just endian fixes. This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes. There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!). Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on P8 by Michael.

2013-07-01powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3sMichael Ellerman
Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the included documentation for more details. EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the inner loop. Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a proliferation of PMU callbacks.

2013-06-01powerpc/tm: Fix userspace stack corruption on signal delivery for active ↵Michael Neuling
transactions When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with the stack. It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin. The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that returns before a tend. In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed transactional memory state. If we write over this non transactionally or in suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid anymore. To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated state. This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be written below the stack required for the rollback. The transaction is aborted becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the signal will be rolled back anyway. For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer. Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.9 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2013-06-01powerpc/tm: Abort on emulation and alignment faultsMichael Neuling
If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional suspend context. We need to abort these transactions and send them back to userspace for the hardware to rollback. We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the kernel will operate in the same suspend context. This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction emulations (only string instructions for now). If the user process is in an active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the failure. This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the persistent error to the user.

2013-04-18powerpc/ptrace: Add DAWR debug feature info for userspaceMichael Neuling
This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be identified by userspace tools like GDB. Unfortunately the DAWR doesn't sit nicely into the current description that ptrace provides to userspace via struct ppc_debug_info. It doesn't allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't cross a 512 byte boundary). After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided this was the best approach. Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.

2012-11-15powerpc/hw-breakpoint: Use generic hw-breakpoint interfaces for new PPC ↵K.Prasad
ptrace flags PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO, PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG are PowerPC specific ptrace flags that use the watchpoint register. While they are targeted primarily towards BookE users, user-space applications such as GDB have started using them for BookS too. This patch enables the use of generic hardware breakpoint interfaces for these new flags. Apart from the usual benefits of using generic hw-breakpoint interfaces, these changes allow debuggers (such as GDB) to use a common set of ptrace flags for their watchpoint needs and allow more precise breakpoint specification (length of the variable can be specified).
