Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Highlights: - Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9 when using the hash table MMU. - Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based implementation. - A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices. - Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe hotpluggable memory and devices. - Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit VDSO. - Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch. As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small fixes and cleanups as always.

powerpc/kernel: Block interrupts when updating TIDR

2018-01-27T09:54:57+00:00

clear_thread_tidr() is called in interrupt context as a part of delayed put of the task structure (i.e as a part of timer interrupt). To prevent a deadlock, block interrupts when holding vas_thread_id_lock to set/ clear TIDR for a task.

signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where needed

2018-01-23T01:07:11+00:00

There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at least one of them is bound to get it wrong. A handful of cases in the kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to pass no errno values to userspace. The usage is limited to a single si_code so at least does not mess up anything else. Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so that the userspace ABI is preserved. Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper function. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

Merge branch 'fixes' into next

2018-01-21T12:21:14+00:00

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle. Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged, notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged. There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict. And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

powerpc: store and restore the pkey state across context switches

Store and restore the AMR, IAMR and UAMOR register state of the task before scheduling out and after scheduling in, respectively. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

cxl: Add support for ASB_Notify on POWER9

2018-01-19T12:19:37+00:00

The POWER9 core supports a new feature: ASB_Notify which requires the support of the Special Purpose Register: TIDR. The ASB_Notify command, generated by the AFU, will attempt to wake-up the host thread identified by the particular LPID:PID:TID. This patch assign a unique TIDR (thread id) for the current thread which will be used in the process element entry.

powerpc/64: Add #defines for paca->soft_enabled flags

2018-01-19T11:36:56+00:00

Two #defines IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED are added to be used when updating paca->soft_enabled. Replace the hardcoded values used when updating paca->soft_enabled with IRQ_(EN|DIS)ABLED #define. No logic change. Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Use the TRAP macro whenever comparing a trap number

2018-01-16T12:51:43+00:00

Trap numbers can have extra bits at the bottom that need to be filtered out. There are a few cases where we don't do that. It's possible that we got lucky but better safe than sorry. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/kernel: Print actual address of regs when oopsing

2017-12-19T02:09:40+00:00

When we oops or otherwise call show_regs() we print the address of the regs structure. Being able to see the address is fairly useful, firstly to verify that the regs pointer is not completely bogus, and secondly it allows you to dump the regs and surrounding memory with a debugger if you have one. In the normal case the regs will be located somewhere on the stack, so printing their location discloses no further information than printing the stack pointer does already. So switch to %px and print the actual address, not the hashed value. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
