Radix vmemmap mapping can map things correctly at the PMD level or PTE
level based on different device boundary checks. Hence we skip the
restrictions w.r.t vmemmap size to be multiple of PMD_SIZE. This also
makes the feature widely useful because to use PMD_SIZE vmemmap area we
require a memory block size of 2GiB
We can also use MHP_RESERVE_PAGES_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY to that the feature can
work with a memory block size of 256MB. Using altmap.reserve feature to
align things correctly at pageblock granularity. We can end up losing
some pages in memory with this. For ex: with a 256MiB memory block size,
we require 4 pages to map vmemmap pages, In order to align things
correctly we end up adding a reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096
pages 28 pages get reserved.

GCC v13.1 updated support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le to
emit nops after the local entry point, rather than before it. This
allows us to use this in the kernel for ftrace purposes. A new script is
added under arch/powerpc/tools/ to help detect if nops are emitted after
the function local entry point, or before the global entry point.
With -fpatchable-function-entry, we no longer have the profiling
instructions generated at function entry, so we only need to validate
the presence of two nops at the ftrace location in ftrace_init_nop(). We
patch the preceding instruction with 'mflr r0' to match the
-mprofile-kernel ABI for subsequent ftrace use.
This changes the profiling instructions used on ppc32. The default -pg
option emits an additional 'stw' instruction after 'mflr r0' and before
the branch to _mcount 'bl _mcount'. This is very similar to the original
-mprofile-kernel implementation on ppc64le, where an additional 'std'
instruction was used to save LR to its save location in the caller's
stackframe. Subsequently, this additional store was removed in later
compiler versions for performance reasons. The same reasons apply for
ppc32 so we only patch in a 'mflr r0'.

provide wrapper functions to override the generic versions if there's
arch specific handling in its ioremap_prot(), ioremap() or iounmap().
This change will simplify implementation by removing duplicated code
with generic_ioremap_prot() and generic_iounmap(), and has the equivalent
functioality as before.
Here, add wrapper functions ioremap_prot() and iounmap() for powerpc's
special operation when ioremap() and iounmap().

This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

* branch 'expand-stack':
gup: add warning if some caller would seem to want stack expansion
mm: always expand the stack with the mmap write lock held
execve: expand new process stack manually ahead of time
mm: make find_extend_vma() fail if write lock not held
powerpc/mm: convert coprocessor fault to lock_mm_and_find_vma()
mm/fault: convert remaining simple cases to lock_mm_and_find_vma()
arm/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
riscv/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
mips/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
powerpc/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
arm64/mm: Convert to using lock_mm_and_find_vma()
mm: make the page fault mmap locking killable
mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper
The HAVE_ prefix means that the code could be enabled. Add another
variable for HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH without this prefix.
It will be set when it should be built. It will make it compatible
with the other hardlockup detectors.
The change allows to clean up dependencies of PPC_WATCHDOG
and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF definitions for powerpc.
As a result HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF has the same dependencies
on arm, x86, powerpc architectures.

Ftrace on ppc32 expects a three instruction sequence at the beginning of
each function when specifying -pg:
mflr r0
stw r0,4(r1)
bl _mcount
This is the case with all supported versions of gcc. Clang however emits
a branch to _mcount after the function prologue, similar to the pre
-mprofile-kernel ABI on ppc64. This is not supported.
Disable ftrace on ppc32 if using clang for now. This can be re-enabled
later if clang picks up support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc32.

-mprofile-kernel is an optimised calling convention for mcount that
Linux has only implemented with the ELFv2 ABI, so it was disabled for
big endian kernels. However it does work with ELFv2 big endian, so let's

The LLVM linker does not support ELFv1 at all, so BE kernels must be
built with ELFv2. The LLD version check was added to be conservative,
LLD simply fails to link ELFv1 entirely, effectively requiring LLD >= 15
and ELFv2 for BE builds. Instead remove that restriction until proven
otherwise (LLD 14.0 links a booting ELFv2 BE vmlinux for me).
The minimum GNU binutils has increased such that ELFv2 is always
supported, so remove that check while we're here.

Commit 1e8fed873e ("powerpc: drop ranges for definition of
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER") removed the limits on the possible values for
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.
However removing the ranges entirely causes some common work flows to
break. For example building a defconfig (which uses 64K pages), changing
the page size to 4K, and rebuilding used to work, because
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER would be clamped to 12 by the ranges.
With the ranges removed it creates a kernel that builds but crashes at
boot:
kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:470!
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
...
NIP hugepage_init+0x9c/0x278
LR do_one_initcall+0x80/0x320
Call Trace:
do_one_initcall+0x80/0x320
kernel_init_freeable+0x304/0x3ac
kernel_init+0x30/0x1a0
ret_from_kernel_user_thread+0x14/0x1c
The reasoning for removing the ranges was that some of the values were
too large. So take that into account and limit the maximums to 10 which
is the default max, except for the 4K case which uses 12.

PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which
uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses,
rather than the traditional TOC scheme.
Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue
to use TOC addressing.
- TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux.
r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out.
- Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker
complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the
CFUNC macro introduced earlier.
- Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the
kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are
generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the
high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar
requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its
addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel.
- Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel
addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the
kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions.
- BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted
from TOC to pcrel.
- copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have
alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the
assembler treat the difference between two local labels as

This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix

This reduces kernel text size by about 6%.

Add an option to build kernel and module with prefixed instructions if
the CPU and toolchain support it.
This is not related to kernel support for userspace execution of
prefixed instructions.
Building with prefixed instructions breaks some extended inline asm
memory addressing, for example it will provide immediates that exceed
the range of simple load/store displacement. Whether this is a
toolchain or a kernel asm problem remains to be seen. For now, these
are replaced with simpler and less efficient direct register addressing
when compiling with prefixed.

The amdgpu driver builds some of its code with hard-float enabled,
whereas the rest of the kernel is built with soft-float.
When building with 64-bit long double, if soft-float and hard-float
objects are linked together, the build fails due to incompatible ABI
tags.
In the past there have been build errors in the amdgpu driver caused by
this, some of those were due to bad intermingling of soft & hard-float
code, but those issues have now all been fixed since commit 58ddbecb14
("drm/amd/display: move remaining FPU code to dml folder").
However it's still possible for soft & hard-float objects to end up
linked together, if the amdgpu driver is built-in to the kernel along
with the test_emulate_step.c code, which uses soft-float. That happens
in an allyesconfig build.
Currently those build errors are avoided because the amdgpu driver is
gated on 128-bit long double being enabled. But that's not a detail the
amdgpu driver should need to be aware of, and if another driver starts
using hard-float the same problem would occur.
All versions of the 64-bit ABI specify that long-double is 128-bits.
However some compilers, notably the kernel.org ones, are built to use
64-bit long double by default.
Apart from this issue of soft vs hard-float, the kernel doesn't care
what size long double is. In particular the kernel using 128-bit long
double doesn't impact userspace's ability to use 64-bit long double, as
musl does.
So always build the 64-bit kernel with 128-bit long double. That should
avoid any build errors due to the incompatible ABI tags. Excluding the
code that uses soft/hard-float, the vmlinux is identical with/without
the flag.
It does mean any code which is incorrectly intermingling soft &
hard-float code will build without error, so those bugs will need to be
caught by testing rather than at build time.

the I/O accessor functions inb()/outb() and friends on architectures
which can not meaningfully support legacy I/O spaces such as s390.
The following architectures do not select HAS_IOPORT:
* ARC
* C-SKY

* Nios II
* OpenRISC
* s390
* User-Mode Linux
* Xtensa
All other architectures select HAS_IOPORT at least conditionally.
The "depends on" relations on HAS_IOPORT in drivers as well as ifdefs
for HAS_IOPORT specific sections will be added in subsequent patches on

On a 16-socket 192-core POWER8 system, the context_switch1_threads
benchmark from will-it-scale (see earlier changelog), upstream can achieve
a rate of about 1 million context switches per second, due to contention
on the mm refcount.
64s meets the prerequisites for CONFIG_MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN, so enable
the option. This increases the above benchmark to 118 million context

This generates 314 additional IPI interrupts on a 144 CPU system doing a

Commit 5017b45946 ("powerpc/64: Option to build big-endian with ELFv2
ABI") restricted the ELFv2 ABI configuration such that it can only be
selected when linking with ld.bfd, due to lack of testing with LLVM.
ld.lld can link ELFv2 kernels without any issues; in fact, it is the
only ABI that ld.lld supports, as ELFv1 is not supported in ld.lld.
As this has not seen a ton of real world testing yet, be conservative
and only allow this option to be selected with the latest stable release
of LLVM (15.x) and newer.
While in the area, remove 'default n', as it is unnecessary to specify
it explicitly since all boolean/tristate configuration symbols default
to n.

Although powerpc now has objtool mcount support, it's not enabled in all
configurations due to dependencies.
On those configurations, with some linkers (binutils 2.37 at least),
it's still possible to hit the dreaded "recordmcount bug", eg. errors
such as:
CC kernel/kexec_file.o
Cannot find symbol for section 10: .text.unlikely.
kernel/kexec_file.o: failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:287 : kernel/kexec_file.o] Error 1
Those errors are much more prevalent when building with
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, because it places every function
in a separate section.
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is marked experimental and is not
enabled in any powerpc defconfigs or by major distros. Although it does
have at least some users on 32-bit where kernel size tends to be more
important.
Avoid the build errors by blocking CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
when the build is using recordmcount, rather than objtool. In practice
that means for 64-bit big endian builds, or 64-bit clang builds - both
because they lack CONFIG_MPROFILE_KERNEL.
On 32-bit objtool is always used, so
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is still available there.

The "pci-OF-bus-map" property was declared deprecated in 2006 [1] and to
the best of everyone's knowledge is not used by anything anymore [2].
The creation of the property was disabled on powermac (arch/powerpc) in
2005 by commit 35499c0195 ("powerpc: Merge in 64-bit powermac
support."). But it is still created by default on CHRP.
On powermac the actual map (pci_to_OF_bus_map) is still used by default,
even though the device tree property is not created.
Add an option to enable/disable use of the pci_to_OF_bus_map, and
creation of the property (on CHRP).
Disabling the option allows enabling CONFIG_PPC_PCI_BUS_NUM_DOMAIN_DEPENDENT
which allows "normal" bus numbering and more than 256 buses, like 64-bit
and other architectures.
Mark the new option as default n, the intention is that the option and
the code will be removed in a future release.

Commit 41b7a347bf ("powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN
support") added a select of ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, because it also added
some uses of noinstr. However noinstr is always defined, regardless of
ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR, so there's no need to select it just for that.
As PeterZ says [1]:
Note that by selecting ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR you effectively state to
abide by its rules.
As of now the powerpc code does not abide by those rules, and trips some
new warnings added by Peter in linux-next.
So until the code can be fixed to avoid those warnings, disable
ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR.
Note that ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR is also used to gate building KCOV and
parts of KCSAN. However none of the noinstr annotations in powerpc were
added for KCOV or KCSAN, instead instrumentation is blocked at the file
level using KCOV_INSTRUMENT_foo.o := n.

Add Kconfig option for enabling clearing of registers on arrival in an
interrupt handler. This reduces the speculation influence of registers
on kernel internals. The option will be consumed by 64-bit systems that
feature speculation and wish to implement this mitigation.
This patch only introduces the Kconfig option, no actual mitigations.
The primary overhead of this mitigation lies in an increased number of
registers that must be saved and restored by interrupt handlers on
Book3S systems. Enable by default on Book3E systems, which prior to
this patch eagerly save and restore register state, meaning that the
mitigation when implemented will have minimal overhead.
