powerpc: Fix parameter clobber in csum_partial_copy_generic()

2013-10-13T21:51:08Z

commit d9813c3681a36774b254c0cdc9cce53c9e22c756 upstream. The csum_partial_copy_generic() uses register r7 to adjust the remaining bytes to process. Unfortunately, r7 also holds a parameter, namely the address of the flag to set in case of access exceptions while reading the source buffer. Lacking a quantum implementation of PowerPC, this commit instead uses register r9 to do the adjusting, leaving r7's pointer uncorrupted. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

powerpc/vio: Fix modalias_show return values

2013-10-13T21:51:08Z

commit e82b89a6f19bae73fb064d1b3dd91fcefbb478f4 upstream. modalias_show() should return an empty string on error, not -ENODEV. This causes the following false and annoying error: > find /sys/devices -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat >/dev/null cat: /sys/devices/vio/4000/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4001/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4002/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/4004/modalias: No such device cat: /sys/devices/vio/modalias: No such device Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/iommu: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in iommu_init_table()

2013-10-13T21:51:07Z

commit 1cf389df090194a0976dc867b7fffe99d9d490cb upstream. Under heavy (DLPAR?) stress, we tripped this panic() in arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c::iommu_init_table(): page = alloc_pages_node(nid, GFP_ATOMIC, get_order(sz)); if (!page) panic("iommu_init_table: Can't allocate %ld bytes\n", sz); Before the panic() we got a page allocation failure for an order-2 allocation. There appears to be memory free, but perhaps not in the ATOMIC context. I looked through all the call-sites of iommu_init_table() and didn't see any obvious reason to need an ATOMIC allocation. Most call-sites in fact have an explicit GFP_KERNEL allocation shortly before the call to iommu_init_table(), indicating we are not in an atomic context. There is some indirection for some paths, but I didn't see any locks indicating that GFP_KERNEL is inappropriate. With this change under the same conditions, we have not been able to reproduce the panic. Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc: Handle unaligned ldbrx/stdbrx

2013-09-26T23:52:45Z

commit 230aef7a6a23b6166bd4003bfff5af23c9bd381f upstream. Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for a load or store instruction the process will be terminated. The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an stfs. This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on. With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly, but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.

powerpc: Use -mtraceback=no

2013-08-20T15:21:01Z

commit af9719c3062dfe216a0c3de3fa52be6d22b4456c upstream. gcc 4.7 will be more strict about parsing the -mtraceback option: gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-mtraceback=none' gcc: note: valid arguments to '-mtraceback=' are: full no part gcc used to do a 2 char compare so both "no" and "none" would match. Switch to using -mtraceback=no should work everywhere. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issues

2013-08-04T07:43:34Z

commit 0e0ed6406e61434d3f38fb58aa8464ec4722b77e upstream. Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to the calculated CRC. Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef (module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch created a symbol at 0x0: # head -2 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T reloc_start c000000000000000 T .__start This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to 0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf, including: problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract it from the CRCs in that case.

powerpc: fix numa distance for form0 device tree

2013-05-11T20:38:00Z

commit 7122beeee7bc1757682049780179d7c216dd1c83 upstream. The following commit breaks numa distance setup for old powerpc systems that use form0 encoding in device tree. commit 41eab6f88f24124df89e38067b3766b7bef06ddb powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance Device tree node /rtas/ibm,associativity-reference-points would index into /cpus/PowerPCxxxx/ibm,associativity based on form0 or form1 encoding detected by ibm,architecture-vec-5 property. All modern systems use form1 and current kernel code is correct. However, on older systems with form0 encoding, the numa distance will get hard coded as LOCAL_DISTANCE for all nodes. This causes task scheduling anomaly since scheduler will skip building numa level domain (topmost domain with all cpus) if all numa distances are same. (value of 'level' in sched_init_numa() will remain 0) Prior to the above commit: ((from) == (to) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE) Restoring compatible behavior with this patch for old powerpc systems with device tree where numa distance are encoded as form0.

powerpc/spufs: Initialise inode->i_ino in spufs_new_inode()

2013-05-08T02:57:21Z

commit 6747e83235caecd30b186d1282e4eba7679f81b7 upstream. In commit 85fe402 (fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode), the initialisation of i_ino was removed from new_inode() and pushed down into the callers. However spufs_new_inode() was not updated. This exhibits as no files appearing in /spu, because all our dirents have a zero inode, which readdir() seems to dislike.

powerpc: Add isync to copy_and_flush

2013-05-08T02:57:20Z

commit 29ce3c5073057991217916abc25628e906911757 upstream. In __after_prom_start we copy the kernel down to zero in two calls to copy_and_flush. After the first call (copy from 0 to copy_to_here:) we jump to the newly copied code soon after. Unfortunately there's no isync between the copy of this code and the jump to it. Hence it's possible that stale instructions could still be in the icache or pipeline before we branch to it. We've seen this on real machines and it's results in no console output after: calling quiesce... returning from prom_init The below adds an isync to ensure that the copy and flushing has completed before any branching to the new instructions occurs.

powerpc: pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove fails from Adjunct partition being performed before the ANDCOND test

2013-04-12T16:18:09Z

commit 9fb2640159f9d4f5a2a9d60e490482d4cbecafdb upstream. Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the ANDCOND test. The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed. So add a check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a specific HPTE to remove. So it is ok to just move on to the next slot and try again. Signed-off-by: Michael Wolf Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
