The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course of
the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in various
ways.
- Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is not
longer at an easy to find place.
- Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.
- Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
interrupt stack for softirq handling.
- A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got confused
about the stack pointer manipulation.

This improves system call performance when nohz_full is enabled. On a

Queued spinlocks have shown to have good performance and fairness
properties even on smaller (2 socket) POWER systems. This selects them
automatically for 64s. For other platforms they are de-selected, the
standard spinlock is far simpler and smaller code, and single chips
with a handful of cores is unlikely to show any improvement.
CONFIG_EXPERT still allows this to be changed, e.g., to help debug
performance or correctness issues.

This commits stops building oprofile for powerpc and removes any
reference to it from directories in arch/powerpc/ apart from
arch/powerpc/oprofile, which will be removed in the next commit (this is
broken into two commits as the size of the commit became very big, ~5k
lines).
Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't
removed as it was also used by other parts of the code.

with mips converted to use of fs/config_binfmt_elf.c, there's no
need to keep selects of that thing all over arch/* - we can simply
turn into def_bool y if COMPAT && BINFMT_ELF (in fs/Kconfig.binfmt)
and get rid of all selects.
Several architectures got those selects wrong (e.g. you could
end up with sparc64 sans BINFMT_ELF, with select violating
dependencies, etc.)
Randy Dunlap has spotted some of those; IMO this is simpler than
his fix, but it depends upon the stuff that would need to be
backported, so we might end up using his variant for -stable.

This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in
the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET.
There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant
of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than
changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as
Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one
any more.
The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as
a result.
For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms
not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one
Arm platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this
gets cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper
function. Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS'
in Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones
selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead.

The design of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC presumes that __kernel_map_pages() must
never fail. With this assumption is wouldn't be safe to allow general
usage of this function.
Moreover, some architectures that implement __kernel_map_pages() have this
function guarded by #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and some refuse to map/unmap
pages when page allocation debugging is disabled at runtime.
As all the users of __kernel_map_pages() were converted to use
debug_pagealloc_map_pages() it is safe to make it available only when
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set.

Our Kconfig allows NUMA to be enabled without SMP, but none of
our defconfigs use that combination. This means it can easily be
broken inadvertently by code changes, which has happened recently.
Although it's theoretically possible to have a machine with a single
CPU and multiple memory nodes, I can't think of any real systems where
that's the case. Even so if such a system exists, it can just run an
SMP kernel anyway.
So to avoid the need to add extra #ifdefs and/or build breaks, make
NUMA depend on SMP.

Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).
To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

So far we have been using huge DMA windows to map all the RAM available.
The RAM is normally mapped to the VM address space contiguously, and
there is always a reasonable upper limit for possible future hot plugged
RAM which makes it easy to map all RAM via IOMMU.
Now there is persistent memory ("ibm,pmemory" in the FDT) which (unlike
normal RAM) can map anywhere in the VM space beyond the maximum RAM size
and since it can be used for DMA, it requires extending the huge window
up to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS which requires hypervisor support for:
1. huge TCE tables;
2. multilevel TCE tables;
3. huge IOMMU pages.
Certain hypervisors cannot do either so the only option left is
restricting the huge DMA window to include only RAM and fallback to
the default DMA window for persistent memory.
This defines arch_dma_map_direct/etc to allow generic DMA code perform
additional checks on whether direct DMA is still possible.
This checks if the system has persistent memory. If it does not,
the DMA bypass mode is selected, i.e.
* dev->bus_dma_limit = 0
* dev->dma_ops_bypass = true <- this avoid calling dma_ops for mapping.
If there is such memory, this creates identity mapping only for RAM and
sets the dev->bus_dma_limit to let the generic code decide whether to
call into the direct DMA or the indirect DMA ops.
This should not change the existing behaviour when no persistent memory
as dev->dma_ops_bypass is expected to be set.

Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to
require each one to select that symbol manually.
Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as
a simplification. It should be possible to select both
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now
and decide at runtime between the two.
For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional
architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine
that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when
at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and
arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO.
At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k
defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add
around 5.5KB in kernel image size:
text data bss dec hex filename
3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent
3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent
On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large,
around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

In order to make adding configurable features into seccomp easier,
it's better to have the options at one single location, considering
especially that the bulk of seccomp code is arch-independent. An quick
look also show that many SECCOMP descriptions are outdated; they talk
about /proc rather than prctl.
As a result of moving the config option and keeping it default on,
architectures arm, arm64, csky, riscv, sh, and xtensa did not have SECCOMP
on by default prior to this and SECCOMP will be default in this change.
Architectures microblaze, mips, powerpc, s390, sh, and sparc have an
outdated depend on PROC_FS and this dependency is removed in this change.

A number of userspace utilities depend on making calls to RTAS to retrieve
information and update various things.
The existing API through which we expose RTAS to userspace exposes more
RTAS functionality than we actually need, through the sys_rtas syscall,
which allows root (or anyone with CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to make any RTAS call they
want with arbitrary arguments.
Many RTAS calls take the address of a buffer as an argument, and it's up to
the caller to specify the physical address of the buffer as an argument. We
allocate a buffer (the "RMO buffer") in the Real Memory Area that RTAS can
access, and then expose the physical address and size of this buffer in
/proc/powerpc/rtas/rmo_buffer. Userspace is expected to read this address,
poke at the buffer using /dev/mem, and pass an address in the RMO buffer to
the RTAS call.
However, there's nothing stopping the caller from specifying whatever
address they want in the RTAS call, and it's easy to construct a series of
RTAS calls that can overwrite arbitrary bytes (even without /dev/mem
access).
Additionally, there are some RTAS calls that do potentially dangerous
things and for which there are no legitimate userspace use cases.
In the past, this would not have been a particularly big deal as it was
assumed that root could modify all system state freely, but with Secure
Boot and lockdown we need to care about this.
We can't fundamentally change the ABI at this point, however we can address
this by implementing a filter that checks RTAS calls against a list
of permitted calls and forces the caller to use addresses within the RMO
buffer.
The list is based off the list of calls that are used by the librtas
userspace library, and has been tested with a number of existing userspace
RTAS utilities. For compatibility with any applications we are not aware of
that require other calls, the filter can be turned off at build time.

In commit 61f879d97c ("powerpc/pseries: Detect secure and trusted
boot state of the system.") we taught the kernel how to understand the
secure-boot parameters used by a pseries guest.
However, CONFIG_PPC_SECURE_BOOT still requires PowerNV. I didn't
catch this because pseries_le_defconfig includes support for
PowerNV and so everything still worked. Indeed, most configs will.
Nonetheless, technically PPC_SECURE_BOOT doesn't require PowerNV
any more.
The secure variables support (PPC_SECVAR_SYSFS) doesn't do anything
on pSeries yet, but I don't think it's worth adding a new condition -
at some stage we'll want to add a backend for pSeries anyway.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

The arch_.*_msi_irq[s] fallbacks are compiled in whether an architecture
requires them or not. Architectures which are fully utilizing hierarchical
irq domains should never call into that code.
It's not only architectures which depend on that by implementing one or
more of the weak functions, there is also a bunch of drivers which relies
on the weak functions which invoke msi_controller::setup_irq[s] and
msi_controller::teardown_irq.
Make the architectures and drivers which rely on them select them in Kconfig
and if not selected replace them by stub functions which emit a warning and
fail the PCI/MSI interrupt allocation.

Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to
the embedding allocator. With 4K hash translation we limit our page
table range to 64TB and commit: 0034d395f8 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the
kernel regions in the same 0xc range") moved all kernel mapping to
that 64TB range. In-order to support sparse memory layout we need
to increase our linear mapping space and reduce other mappings.
With such a layout percpu embedded first chunk allocator will fail
because of small vmalloc range. Add a fallback to page mapping
percpu first chunk allocator for such failures.
The below dmesg output can be observed in such case.
percpu: max_distance=0x1ffffef00000 too large for vmalloc space 0x10000000000
PERCPU: auto allocator failed (-22), falling back to page size
percpu: 40 4K pages/cpu s148816 r0 d15024

- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9
or later.
- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on
Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the
functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe
it is unused in practice.
- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking.
We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures.
- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which
tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone
to crashes and other problems.
- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack
(branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.
- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set, we want to set NX bit on vmalloc
segments. But modules require exec.
Use a dedicated segment for modules. There is not much space
above kernel, and we don't waste vmalloc space to do alignment.
Therefore, we take the segment before PAGE_OFFSET for modules.

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.
