David Gibson 0b26425ce1 powerpc: Clean up hugepage pagetable allocation for powerpc with 16G pages
There is a small bug in the handling of 16G hugepages recently added
to the kernel.  This doesn't cause a crash or other user-visible
problems, but it does mean that more levels of pagetable are allocated
than makes sense for 16G pages.  The hugepage pagetables for the 16G
pages are allocated much lower in the pagetable tree than they should
be, with the intervening levels allocated with full pmd and pud pages
which will only ever have one entry filled in.

This corrects this problem, at the same time cleaning up the handling
of which level 64k versus 16M hugepage pagetables are allocated at.
The new way of formatting the tests should be more robust against
changes in pagetable structure, or any newly added hugepage sizes.

Sebastien Dugue 150c6c8fec powerpc: Make the irq reverse mapping radix tree lockless
The radix trees used by interrupt controllers for their irq reverse
mapping (currently only the XICS found on pSeries) have a complex
locking scheme dating back to before the advent of the lockless radix
tree.

This takes advantage of the lockless radix tree and of the fact that
the items of the tree are pointers to a static array (irq_map)
elements which can never go under us to simplify the locking.

Concurrency between readers and writers is handled by the intrinsic
properties of the lockless radix tree.  Concurrency between writers is
handled with a global mutex.

Sebastien Dugue 967e012ef3 powerpc: Separate the irq radix tree insertion and lookup
irq_radix_revmap() currently serves 2 purposes, irq mapping lookup
and insertion which happen in interrupt and process context respectively.

Separate the function into its 2 components, one for lookup only and one
for insertion only.

Fix the only user of the revmap tree (XICS) to use the new functions.

Also, move the insertion into the radix tree of those irqs that were
requested before it was initialized at said tree initialization.

Mutual exclusion between the tree initialization and readers/writers is
handled via a state variable (revmap_trees_allocated) set to 1 when the tree
has been initialized and set to 2 after the already requested irqs have been
inserted in the tree by the init path. This state is checked before any reader
or writer access just like we used to check for tree.gfp_mask != 0 before.

Finally, now that we're not any longer inserting nodes into the radix-tree
in interrupt context, turn the GFP_ATOMIC allocations into GFP_KERNEL ones.

Paul Mackerras 549e8152de powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set.  This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations.  (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)

The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run.  In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel.  This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.

This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler.  With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).

With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

Paul Mackerras e31aa453bb powerpc: Use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE only for constants on 64-bit
Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols
generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one,
and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when
we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable,
which we'd rather not have to handle.  This changes various bits
of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the
address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code
for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or
if we're not running at the address we were linked at.

It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

Paul Mackerras 1f6a93e4c3 powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

Paul Mackerras 9a95516740 powerpc: Rearrange head_64.S to move interrupt handler code to the beginning
This rearranges head_64.S so that we have all the first-level exception
prologs together starting at 0x100, followed by all the second-level
handlers that are invoked from the first-level prologs, followed by
other code.  This doesn't make any functional change but will make
following changes for relocatable kernel support easier.

Chandru cf00085d80 powerpc: Add support for dynamic reconfiguration memory in kexec/kdump kernels
Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.).  Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.

The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size).  If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.

This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools.  Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions.  The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.

Mark Nelson 57dda6ef5b powerpc: New copy_4K_page()
This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best
performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit
powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.

It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5
or Power6.

The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do
this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches.

A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the
previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy
routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the
setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup
loop is nop'ed out.

This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the

James Bottomley deac93df26 lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures
It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

Jarod Wilson 3d6e48f433 [S390] CVE-2008-1514: prevent ptrace padding area read/write in 31-bit mode
When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.

This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap

Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>

Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.

Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

Linus Torvalds 14469a8dd2 x86: disable static NOPLs on 32 bits
On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the
default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do
look better.

So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the
CONFIG_X86_64 thing.

The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just
have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for
them.

Andre Detsch b2e601d14d powerpc/spufs: Fix possible scheduling of a context to multiple SPEs
We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE -
after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same
context may have been scheduled by spu_activate().

This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has
been freed in the meantime.

This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been
scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.

Andreas Herrmann 23952a96ae x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplug
Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online.
But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug
offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for
a CPU.

Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is
set online for the first time.
