This provides a basic interface between hv_24x7 and perf. Similar to
the one provided for gpci, it lacks transaction support and does not
list any events.
Example usage via perf tool:
perf stat -e 'hv_24x7/domain=2,offset=8,starting_index=0,lpar=0xffffffff/' -r 0 -C 0 -x ' ' sleep 0.1

interface
This provides a basic link between perf and hv_gpci. Notably, it does
not yet support transactions and does not list any events (they can
still be manually composed).
Example usage via perf tool:
perf stat -e 'hv_gpci/counter_info_version=3,offset=0,length=8,secondary_index=0,starting_index=0xffffffff,request=0x10/' -r 0 -C 0 -x ' ' sleep 0.1

Add two macros which generate functions to extract the relevent bits
from event->attr.config{,1,2}.
EVENT_DEFINE_RANGE() defines an accessor for a range of bits in the
event, as well as a "max" function that gives the maximum value of the
field based on the bit width.
EVENT_DEFINE_RANGE_FORMAT() defines the accessor & max routine and also
a format attribute for use in the PMU's attr_groups.

This exposes a simple way to grab the firmware provided
collect_priveliged, ga, expanded, and lab capability bits. All of these
bits come in from the same gpci request, so we've exposed all of them.
Only the collect_priveliged bit is really used by the hv-gpci/hv-24x7
code, the other bits are simply exposed in sysfs to inform the user.

24x7 (also called hv_24x7 or H_24X7) is an interface to obtain
performance counters from the hypervisor. These counters do not have a
fixed format/possition and are instead documented in a "24x7 Catalog",
which is provided by the hypervisor (that interface is also documented
paritialy in the included hv-24x7-catalog.h and fully in at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmesmon/catalog-24x7/master/hv-24x7-catalog.h ).
The 24x7 data access is simply a copy operation into a 4 dimentional
array of 64bit counters (from hypervisor to kernel memory). There is no
interupt triggered on overflow, these are completely disjoint from the
typical power pmu.
This method of obtaining performance counters from the hypervisor is
intended to paritialy replace the gpci interface.

The previous commit added constraint and register handling to allow
processes using EBB (Event Based Branches) to request access to the BHRB
(Branch History Rolling Buffer).
With that in place we can allow processes using EBB to access the BHRB.
This is achieved by setting BHRBA in MMCR0 when we enable EBB access. We
must also clear BHRBA when we are disabling.

We want a way for users of EBB (Event Based Branches) to also access the
BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer). EBB does not interoperate with our
existing BHRB support, which is wired into the generic Linux branch
stack sampling support.
To support EBB & BHRB we add three new bits to the event code. The first
bit indicates that the event wants access to the BHRB, and the other two
bits indicate the desired IFM (Instruction Filtering Mode).
We allow multiple events to request access to the BHRB, but they must
agree on the IFM value. Events which are not interested in the BHRB can
also interoperate with events which do.
Finally we program the desired IFM value into MMCRA. Although we do this
for every event, we know that the value will be identical for all events
that request BHRB access.

We only need to mask the EBB bit out of the event for the check of the
special PMC 5 & 6 events. So use a local to do it just for that code,
rather than changing the event value for the life of the function.

Although we already block EBB events which request sampling using
sample_period, technically it's possible for an event to set sample_type
but not sample_period.
Nothing terrible will happen if an EBB event does specify sample_type,
but it signals a major confusion on the part of userspace, and so we do
them the favor of rejecting it.

This enables support for userspace to fetch and initiate FSP and
Platform dumps from the service processor (via firmware) through sysfs.
Based on original patch from Vasant Hegde <hegdevasant@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Flow:
- We register for OPAL notification events.
- OPAL sends new dump available notification.
- We make information on dump available via sysfs
- Userspace requests dump contents
- We retrieve the dump via OPAL interface
- User copies the dump data
- userspace sends ack for dump
- We send ACK to OPAL.
sysfs files:
- We add the /sys/firmware/opal/dump directory
- echoing 1 (well, anything, but in future we may support
different dump types) to /sys/firmware/opal/dump/initiate_dump
will initiate a dump.
- Each dump that we've been notified of gets a directory
in /sys/firmware/opal/dump/ with a name of the dump type and ID (in hex,
as this is what's used elsewhere to identify the dump).
- Each dump has files: id, type, dump and acknowledge
dump is binary and is the dump itself.
echoing 'ack' to acknowledge (currently any string will do) will
acknowledge the dump and it will soon after disappear from sysfs.
OPAL APIs:
- opal_dump_init()
- opal_dump_info()
- opal_dump_read()
- opal_dump_ack()
- opal_dump_resend_notification()
Currently we are only ever notified for one dump at a time (until
the user explicitly acks the current dump, then we get a notification
of the next dump), but this kernel code should "just work" when OPAL
starts notifying us of all the dumps present.

Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export
them to userspace through a sysfs interface.
We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/
Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't
need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that
is actually largely transparent to us.
Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw.
Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute.
In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit
easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in
petitboot without having to have a full parser).
If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until
userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in
the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side.
A userspace daemon should:
- wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation)
- read error log entry
- save error log entry safely to disk
- acknowledge the error log entry
- rinse, repeat.
On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This
possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand.
However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we
read the error log immediately when notified at the moment.
I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the
linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with
the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.

Traditionally it has been drmgr's responsibilty to update the device tree
through the /proc/ppc64/ofdt interface after a suspend/resume operation.
This patchset however has modified suspend/resume ops to preform an update
entirely in the kernel during the resume. Therefore, a mechanism is required
to expose that information to drmgr.
This patch adds a show function to the "hibernate" attribute that returns 1
if the kernel performs a device tree update after the resume and 0 otherwise.
This allows newer versions of drmgr to avoid doing a second unnecessary
device tree update.

pHyp can change cache nodes for suspend/resume operation. Currently the
device tree is updated by drmgr in userspace after all non boot CPUs are
enabled. Hence, we do not modify the cache list based on the latest cache
nodes. Also we do not remove cache entries for the primary CPU.
This patch removes the cache list for the boot CPU, updates the device tree
before enabling nonboot CPUs and adds cache list for the boot cpu.
This patch also has the side effect that older versions of drmgr will
perform a second device tree update from userspace. While this is a
redundant waste of a couple cycles it is harmless since firmware returns the
same data for the subsequent update-nodes/properties rtas calls.

This processor/memory module was mostly used on ATCA blades and
before that, on cPCI blades. It wasn't really user friendly, with
custom non u-boot bootloaders (powerboot/motload) and no real way
to recover corrupted boot flash (which was a common problem).
As such, it had its day back before the big ppc --> powerpc move
to device trees, and that was largely through commercial BSPs that
started to dry up around 2007.
Systems using one were largely in a "deploy and sustain" mode,
so interest in upgrading to new kernels in the field was nil.
Also, requiring 50A, 48V power supplies and a 2'x2'x2' ATCA
chassis largely rules out any hobbyist/enthusiast interest.
The point of all this, is that we might as well delete the in
kernel files relating to this platform. No point in continuing
to build it via walking the defconfigs or via linux-next testing.

The memory remove code for powerpc/pseries should call remove_memory()
so that we are holding the hotplug_memory lock during memory remove
operations.
This patch updates the memory node remove handler to call remove_memory()
and adds a ppc_md.remove_memory() entry to handle pseries specific work
that is called from arch_remove_memory().
During memory remove in pseries_remove_memblock() we have to stay with
removing memory one section at a time. This is needed because of how memory
resources are handled. During memory add for pseries (via the probe file in
sysfs) we add memory one section at a time which gives us a memory resource
for each section. Future patches will aim to address this so will not have
to remove memory one section at a time.

Detect and recover from machine check when inside opal on a special
scom load instructions. On specific SCOM read via MMIO we may get a machine
check exception with SRR0 pointing inside opal. To recover from MC
in this scenario, get a recovery instruction address and return to it from
MC.
OPAL will export the machine check recoverable ranges through
device tree node mcheck-recoverable-ranges under ibm,opal:
# hexdump /proc/device-tree/ibm,opal/mcheck-recoverable-ranges
0000000 0000 0000 3000 2804 0000 000c 0000 0000

0000020 0000 0000 3000 2814 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
0000030 llll llll yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy
...
...
#
where:
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx = Starting instruction address
llll llll = Length of the address range.
yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy = recovery address
Each recoverable address range entry is (start address, len,
recovery address), 2 cells each for start and recovery address, 1 cell for
len, totalling 5 cells per entry. During kernel boot time, build up the
recovery table with the list of recovery ranges from device-tree node which
will be used during machine check exception to recover from MMIO SCOM UE.

When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new
thread. This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is
switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set. Also, since
R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection. So we
end up with something like this:
Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc
cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40]

paca = 0xc00000000fe00800 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01
pid = 0, comm = swapper/2
WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue
The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to
the clone. To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the
checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend
mode. Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state
and the TM mode for the current task.
To make this fail from userspace is simply:

The PHB diag-data is important to help locating the root cause for

enables IO path by clearing part of HW registers before collecting
this data causing it to be corrupted.

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the
area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data --
from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more
space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process.
To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and
KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the
kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes
would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly.
Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when
compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot
currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway.
In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the
amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more.
This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to
preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would
ever be used on a 64-bit process, though.

The branch target should be the func addr, not the addr of func_descr_t.
So using ppc_function_entry() to generate the right target addr.

In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to
decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is
not continuous.
This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher
in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole
between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a
consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing
in a direct way the pages in that hole.
This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to
check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory.

Currently we're storing a host endian RTAS token in
rtas_stop_self_args.token. We then pass that directly to rtas. This is
fine on big endian however on little endian the token is not what we
expect.
This will typically result in hitting:
panic("Alas, I survived.\n");
To fix this we always use the stop-self token in host order and always
convert it to be32 before passing this to rtas.

We possiblly detect EEH errors during reboot, particularly in kexec
path, but it's impossible for device drivers and EEH core to handle
or recover them properly.
The patch registers one reboot notifier for EEH and disable EEH
subsystem during reboot. That means the EEH errors is going to be
cleared by hardware reset or second kernel during early stage of
PCI probe.

The patch cleans up variable eeh_subsystem_enabled so that we needn't
refer the variable directly from external. Instead, we will use
function eeh_enabled() and eeh_set_enable() to operate the variable.

When doing reset in order to recover the affected PE, we issue
hot reset on PE primary bus if it's not root bus. Otherwise, we
issue hot or fundamental reset on root port or PHB accordingly.
For the later case, we didn't cover the situation where PE only
includes root port and it potentially causes kernel crash upon
EEH error to the PE.
The patch reworks the logic of EEH reset to improve the code
readability and also avoid the kernel crash.

We are seeing a lot of hits in the VDSO that are not resolved by perf.
A while(1) gettimeofday() loop shows the issue:
27.64% [vdso] [.] 0x000000000000060c
22.57% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000628
16.88% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000610
12.39% [vdso] [.] __kernel_gettimeofday
6.09% [vdso] [.] 0x00000000000005f8
3.58% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18
2.94% [vdso] [.] __kernel_datapage_offset
2.90% test [.] main
We are using a stripped VDSO image which means only symbols with
relocation info can be resolved. There isn't a lot of point to
stripping the VDSO, the debug info is only about 1kB:
4680 arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so
5815 arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so.dbg
By using the unstripped image, we can resolve all the symbols in the
VDSO and the perf profile data looks much better:
76.53% [vdso] [.] __do_get_tspec
12.20% [vdso] [.] __kernel_gettimeofday
5.05% [vdso] [.] __get_datapage
3.20% test [.] main
2.92% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18

perf is failing to resolve symbols in the VDSO. A while (1)
gettimeofday() loop shows:
93.99% [vdso] [.] 0x00000000000005e0
3.12% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18
2.81% test [.] main
The reason for this is that we are linking our VDSO shared libraries
at 1MB, which is a little weird. Even though this is uncommon, Alan
points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace.
Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code
is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending
up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks).
Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution:
73.18% [vdso] [.] 0x000000000000060c
12.39% [vdso] [.] __kernel_gettimeofday
3.58% test [.] 00000037.plt_call.gettimeofday@@GLIBC_2.18
2.94% [vdso] [.] __kernel_datapage_offset
2.90% test [.] main
We still have some local symbol resolution issues that will be
fixed in a subsequent patch.

Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using
a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of
the PTE modification when necessary).
ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs.
Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks.
The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with
linux page table.
We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing
hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can
end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal.
We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash
flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is
never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid.
This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption.
Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a
way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation
using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate
mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.
