Kevin Hao 016f8cf0d8 powerpc: book3e_64: fix the align size for paca_struct
All the cache line size of the current book3e 64bit SoCs are 64 bytes.
So we should use this size to align the member of paca_struct.
This only change the paca_struct's members which are private to book3e
CPUs, and should not have any effect to book3s ones. With this, we save
192 bytes. Also change it to __aligned(size) since it is preferred over
__attribute__((aligned(size))).

Before:
	/* size: 1920, cachelines: 30, members: 46 */
	/* sum members: 1667, holes: 6, sum holes: 141 */
	/* padding: 112 */

After:
	/* size: 1728, cachelines: 27, members: 46 */
	/* sum members: 1667, holes: 4, sum holes: 13 */
	/* padding: 48 */

Michael Ellerman 529d235a0e powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness
We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.

That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.

Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.

As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.

The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.

This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

Tyrel Datwyler c03e73740d powerpc/pseries: Simplify check for suspendability during suspend/migration
During suspend/migration operation we must wait for the VASI state reported
by the hypervisor to become Suspending prior to making the ibm,suspend-me
RTAS call. Calling routines to rtas_ibm_supend_me() pass a vasi_state variable
that exposes the VASI state to the caller. This is unnecessary as the caller
only really cares about the following three conditions; if there is an error
we should bailout, success indicating we have suspended and woken back up so
proceed to device tree update, or we are not suspendable yet so try calling
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again shortly.

This patch removes the extraneous vasi_state variable and simply uses the
return code to communicate how to proceed. We either succeed, fail, or get
-EAGAIN in which case we sleep for a second before trying to call
rtas_ibm_suspend_me again. The behaviour of ppc_rtas() remains the same,
but migrate_store() now returns the propogated error code on failure.
Previously -1 was returned from migrate_store() in the  failure case which
equates to -EPERM and was clearly wrong.

David Gibson d078eed35d powerpc: Cleanup KVM emulated load/store endian handling
Sometimes the KVM code on powerpc needs to emulate load or store
instructions from the guest, which can include both normal and byte
reversed forms.

We currently (AFAICT) handle this correctly, but some variable names are
very misleading.  In particular we use "is_bigendian" in several places to
actually mean "is the IO the same endian as the host", but we now support
little-endian powerpc hosts.  This also ties into the misleadingly named
ld_le*() and st_le*() functions, which in fact always byteswap, even on
an LE host.

This patch cleans this up by renaming to more accurate "host_swabbed", and
uses the generic swab*() functions instead of the powerpc specific and
misleadingly named ld_le*() and st_le*() functions.

Gavin Shan c035ff1d2e powerpc/pci: Trace more information from pci_dn
Originally, EEH probes on device_node or pci_dev and populates the
corresponding eeh_dev. In the subsequent patches, EEH will probes
on pci_dn and populates the corresponding eeh_dev. So we have to
cache some information in pci_dn, either from device_node or SRIOV
PF's enablement platform hook, to populate the eeh_dev properly.

The motivation to probe pci_dn, instead of device node or pci_dev,
to populate eeh_dev is SRIOV VFs are dynamically created and we
don't have the corresponding device nodes for them.

Gavin Shan cca87d303c powerpc/pci: Refactor pci_dn
Currently, the PCI config accessors are implemented based on device node.
Unfortunately, SRIOV VFs won't have the corresponding device nodes. pci_dn
will be used in replacement with device node for SRIOV VFs. So we have to
use pci_dn in PCI config accessors.

The patch refactors pci_dn in following aspects to make it ready to be used
in PCI config accessors as we do in subsequent patch:

   * pci_dn is organized as a hierarchy tree.  PCI device's pci_dn is
     put to the child list of pci_dn of its upstream bridge or PHB. VF's
     pci_dn will be put to the child list of pci_dn of PF's bridge.

   * For one particular PCI device (VF or not), its pci_dn can be
     found from pdev->dev.archdata.pci_data, PCI_DN(devnode), or
     parent's list.  The fast path (fetching pci_dn through PCI device
     instance) is populated during early fixup time.

David Gibson f571872671 powerpc: Move Power Macintosh drivers to generic byteswappers
ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness.  These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.

However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.

Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.

To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

Also OpalMessageType became opal_msg_type, requiring a change in the

Finally Skiboot and Linux disagree on CAPI vs CXL, because CAPI means

Paul Clarke fea559f303 powerpc: Re-enable dynticks
Implement arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() for powerpc

Commit 9b01f5bf3 introduced a dependency on "IRQ work self-IPIs" for
full dynamic ticks to be enabled, by expecting architectures to
implement a suitable arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() routine.

Several arches have implemented this routine, including x86 (3010279f)
and arm (09f6edd4), but powerpc was omitted.

This patch implements this routine for powerpc.

The symptom, at boot (on powerpc systems) with "nohz_full=<CPU list>"
is displayed:

     NO_HZ: Can't run full dynticks because arch doesn't support irq work self-IPIs

after this patch:

     NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: <CPU list>.

Tested against 3.19.

powerpc implements "IRQ work self-IPIs" by setting the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise(), which causes a decrementer exception on the next
timebase tick. We then handle the work in __timer_interrupt().

Linus Torvalds b9085bcbf5 Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.
Common: Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
 instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other architectures).
 This can improve latency up to 50% on some scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes
 or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This also has to be enabled manually for now,
 but the plan is to auto-tune this in the future.
 
 ARM/ARM64: the highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
 tracking
 
 s390: several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
 exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
 it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)
 
 MIPS: Bugfixes.
 
 x86: Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
 Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested virtualization
 improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization), usual round of emulation
 fixes.  There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
 timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.
 
 Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
 have already included his tree.
 
 ARM has other conflicts where functions are added in the same place
 by 3.19-rc and 3.20 patches.  These are not large though, and entirely
 within KVM.

Andy Lutomirski f56141e3e2 all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Mel Gorman 21d9ee3eda mm: remove remaining references to NUMA hinting bits and helpers
This patch removes the NUMA PTE bits and associated helpers.  As a
side-effect it increases the maximum possible swap space on x86-64.

One potential source of problems is races between the marking of PTEs
PROT_NONE, NUMA hinting faults and migration.  It must be guaranteed that
a PTE being protected is not faulted in parallel, seen as a pte_none and
corrupting memory.  The base case is safe but transhuge has problems in
the past due to an different migration mechanism and a dependance on page
lock to serialise migrations and warrants a closer look.

task_work hinting update			parallel fault
------------------------			--------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						pmd_none
						  do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page
						  read? pmd_lock blocks until hinting complete, fail !pmd_none test
						  write? __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page acquires pmd_lock, checks pmd_none
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

task_work hinting update			parallel migration
------------------------			------------------
change_pmd_range
  change_huge_pmd
    __pmd_trans_huge_lock
      pmdp_get_and_clear
						__handle_mm_fault
						  do_huge_pmd_numa_page
						    migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page
						    pmd_lock waits for updates to complete, recheck pmd_same
      pmd_modify
      set_pmd_at

Both of those are safe and the case where a transhuge page is inserted
during a protection update is unchanged.  The case where two processes try
migrating at the same time is unchanged by this series so should still be
ok.  I could not find a case where we are accidentally depending on the
PTE not being cleared and flushed.  If one is missed, it'll manifest as
corruption problems that start triggering shortly after this series is
merged and only happen when NUMA balancing is enabled.

Kirill A. Shutemov d016bf7ece mm: make FIRST_USER_ADDRESS unsigned long on all archs
LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
 >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

The code:

 > 2857                WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
   2858                                round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0.  round_up() has
the same type -- int.  PUD_SHIFT.

I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
long.  On every arch for consistency.

Paolo Bonzini f781951299 kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter
This patch introduces a new module parameter for the KVM module; when it
is present, KVM attempts a bit of polling on every HLT before scheduling
itself out via kvm_vcpu_block.

This parameter helps a lot for latency-bound workloads---in particular
I tested it with O_DSYNC writes with a battery-backed disk in the host.
In this case, writes are fast (because the data doesn't have to go all
the way to the platters) but they cannot be merged by either the host or
the guest.  KVM's performance here is usually around 30% of bare metal,
or 50% if you use cache=directsync or cache=writethrough (these
parameters avoid that the guest sends pointless flush requests, and
at the same time they are not slow because of the battery-backed cache).
The bad performance happens because on every halt the host CPU decides
to halt itself too.  When the interrupt comes, the vCPU thread is then
migrated to a new physical CPU, and in general the latency is horrible
because the vCPU thread has to be scheduled back in.

With this patch performance reaches 60-65% of bare metal and, more
important, 99% of what you get if you use idle=poll in the guest.  This
means that the tunable gets rid of this particular bottleneck, and more
work can be done to improve performance in the kernel or QEMU.

Of course there is some price to pay; every time an otherwise idle vCPUs
is interrupted by an interrupt, it will poll unnecessarily and thus
impose a little load on the host.  The above results were obtained with
a mostly random value of the parameter (500000), and the load was around
1.5-2.5% CPU usage on one of the host's core for each idle guest vCPU.

The patch also adds a new stat, /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/halt_successful_poll,
that can be used to tune the parameter.  It counts how many HLT
instructions received an interrupt during the polling period; each
successful poll avoids that Linux schedules the VCPU thread out and back
in, and may also avoid a likely trip to C1 and back for the physical CPU.

While the VM is idle, a Linux 4 VCPU VM halts around 10 times per second.
Of these halts, almost all are failed polls.  During the benchmark,
instead, basically all halts end within the polling period, except a more
or less constant stream of 50 per second coming from vCPUs that are not
running the benchmark.  The wasted time is thus very low.  Things may
be slightly different for Windows VMs, which have a ~10 ms timer tick.

The effect is also visible on Marcelo's recently-introduced latency
test for the TSC deadline timer.  Though of course a non-RT kernel has
awful latency bounds, the latency of the timer is around 8000-10000 clock
cycles compared to 20000-120000 without setting halt_poll_ns.  For the TSC
deadline timer, thus, the effect is both a smaller average latency and
a smaller variance.

Joonsoo Kim 7b02190c27 mm/debug_pagealloc: fix build failure on ppc and some other archs
Kim Phillips reported following build failure.

  LD      init/built-in.o
  mm/built-in.o: In function `free_pages_prepare':
  mm/page_alloc.c:770: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages'
  mm/built-in.o: In function `prep_new_page':
  mm/page_alloc.c:933: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages'
  mm/built-in.o: In function `map_pages':
  mm/compaction.c:61: undefined reference to `.kernel_map_pages'
  make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Reason for this problem is that commit 031bc5743f
("mm/debug-pagealloc: make debug-pagealloc boottime configurable")
forgot to remove the old declaration of kernel_map_pages() for some
architectures.  This patch removes them to fix build failure.

Joel Stanley 7f43e71e8c powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL soft-poweroff routine
Register a notifier for a OPAL message indicating that the machine
should prepare itself for a graceful power off.

OPAL will tell us if the power off is a reboot or shutdown, but for now
we perform the same orderly_poweroff action.
