* Documentation/powerpc: Ultravisor APISukadev Bhattiprolu2019-08-301-0/+1057
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protected Execution Facility (PEF) is an architectural change for POWER 9 that enables Secure Virtual Machines (SVMs). When enabled, PEF adds a new higher privileged mode, called Ultravisor mode, to POWER architecture. Along with the new mode there is new firmware called the Protected Execution Ultravisor (or Ultravisor for short). POWER 9 DD2.3 chips (PVR=0x004e1203) or greater will be PEF-capable. Attached documentation provides an overview of PEF and defines the API for various interfaces that must be implemented in the Ultravisor firmware as well as in the KVM Hypervisor. Based on input from Mike Anderson, Thiago Bauermann, Claudio Carvalho, Ben Herrenschmidt, Guerney Hunt, Paul Mackerras.

* docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-1720-419/+555
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific book. The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard. The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few missing section title identifiers. One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an even longer one. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a flag so that the DAWR can be enabled on P9 via: echo Y > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerous The DAWR was previously force disabled on POWER9 in: 9654153158 powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features Also see Documentation/powerpc/DAWR-POWER9.txt This is a dangerous setting, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Some users may not care about a bad user crashing their box (ie. single user/desktop systems) and really want the DAWR. This allows them to force enable DAWR. This flag can also be used to disable DAWR access. Once this is cleared, all DAWR access should be cleared immediately and your machine once again safe from crashing. Userspace may get confused by toggling this. If DAWR is force enabled/disabled between getting the number of breakpoints (via PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO) and setting the breakpoint, userspace will get an inconsistent view of what's available. Similarly for guests. For the DAWR to be enabled in a KVM guest, the DAWR needs to be force enabled in the host AND the guest. For this reason, this won't work on POWERVM as it doesn't allow the HCALL to work. Writes of 'Y' to the dawr_enable_dangerous file will fail if the hypervisor doesn't support writing the DAWR. To double check the DAWR is working, run this kernel selftest: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak.c Any errors/failures/skips mean something is wrong.

* powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware assisted dumpMahesh Salgaonkar2018-12-211-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the primary issues with Firmware Assisted Dump (fadump) on Power is that it needs a large amount of memory to be reserved. On large systems with TeraBytes of memory, this reservation can be quite significant. In some cases, fadump fails if the memory reserved is insufficient, or if the reserved memory was DLPAR hot-removed. In the normal case, post reboot, the preserved memory is filtered to extract only relevant areas of interest using the makedumpfile tool. While the tool provides flexibility to determine what needs to be part of the dump and what memory to filter out, all supported distributions default this to "Capture only kernel data and nothing else". We take advantage of this default and the Linux kernel's Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) to fundamentally change the memory reservation model for fadump. Instead of setting aside a significant chunk of memory nobody can use, this patch uses CMA instead, to reserve a significant chunk of memory that the kernel is prevented from using (due to MIGRATE_CMA), but applications are free to use it. With this fadump will still be able to capture all of the kernel memory and most of the user space memory except the user pages that were present in CMA region. Essentially, on a P9 LPAR with 2 cores, 8GB RAM and current upstream: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7557 193 6822 12 541 6725 Swap: 4095 0 4095 With this patch: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 8133 194 7464 12 475 7338 Swap: 4095 0 4095 Changes made here are completely transparent to how fadump has traditionally worked. Thanks to Aneesh Kumar and Anshuman Khandual for helping us understand CMA and its usage. TODO: - Handle case where CMA reservation spans nodes.

* Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad2018-09-091-34/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

This is acceptable for paths where there is not a dependency on the AFU being consistent with the host. Examples include link reset events and LUN cleanup operations. On paths where there is a dependency, such as a LUN open, a sync failure should be acted upon. In the event of AFU sync failures, either log or cleanup as appropriate for operations that are dependent on a successful sync completion.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactionsSam bobroff2015-06-191-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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%.

| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new documentation file explaining the DSCR support on powerpc platforms. This explains DSCR related data structure, code paths and also available user interfaces. Any further functional changes to the DSCR support in the kernel should definitely update the documentation here.

* Revert "powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions"Michael Ellerman2015-04-301-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
