This includes: - kernel-doc markup fixes - ReST fixes - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of the docs build toolchain (Sphinx) After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4). As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build, as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests that should be happening along the merge window. The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10. PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported, as it lacks support for C domain namespaces.

2020-10-13dt: Remove booting-without-of.rstRob Herring
booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale. The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification are now. All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same details documented.

This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2020-07-28KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: In H_SVM_INIT_DONE, migrate remaining normal-GFNs to ↵Ram Pai
secure-GFNs The Ultravisor is expected to explicitly call H_SVM_PAGE_IN for all the pages of the SVM before calling H_SVM_INIT_DONE. This causes a huge delay in tranistioning the VM to SVM. The Ultravisor is only interested in the pages that contain the kernel, initrd and other important data structures. The rest contain throw-away content. However if not all pages are requested by the Ultravisor, the Hypervisor continues to consider the GFNs corresponding to the non-requested pages as normal GFNs. This can lead to data-corruption and undefined behavior. In H_SVM_INIT_DONE handler, move all the PFNs associated with the SVM's GFNs to secure-PFNs. Skip the GFNs that are already Paged-in or Shared or Paged-in followed by a Paged-out.

2020-07-23Merge branch 'scv' support into nextMichael Ellerman
From Nick's cover letter: Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI System Call Vectored (scv) ABI ============================== The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to cover the Linux system call space). Assignment and advertisement ---------------------------- The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more. Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it. This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system calls (equivalent to 'sc'). Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled). Calling convention ------------------ The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]: - LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI. - cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid information leaks). - Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is closer to a function call. Notes ----- - r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow the ABI. Previous discussions: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-April/208691.html https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-April/209268.html [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/powerpc/syscall64-abi.rst [2] https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-April/209263.html
2020-07-22powerpc/64s: system call support for scv/rfscv instructionsNicholas Piggin
Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs. For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to 'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO], but by returning a negative errno. rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to preserve LR. getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318 cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.

2020-07-15powerpc/vas: Report proper error code for address translation failureHaren Myneni
P9 DD2 NX workbook (Table 4-36) says DMA controller uses CC=5 internally for translation fault handling. NX reserves CC=250 for OS to notify user space when NX encounters address translation failure on the request buffer. Not an issue in earlier releases as NX does not get faults on kernel addresses. This patch defines CSB_CC_FAULT_ADDRESS(250) and updates CSB.CC with this proper error code for user space.

2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

2020-01-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcallSukadev Bhattiprolu
Implement the H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcall which the Ultravisor can use to abort an SVM after it has issued the H_SVM_INIT_START and before the H_SVM_INIT_DONE hcalls. This hcall could be used when Ultravisor encounters security violations or other errors when starting an SVM. Note that this hcall is different from UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall which is used by HV to terminate/cleanup an VM that has becore secure. The H_SVM_INIT_ABORT basically undoes operations that were done since the H_SVM_INIT_START hcall - i.e page-out all the VM pages back to normal memory, and terminate the SVM. (If we do not bring the pages back to normal memory, the text/data of the VM would be stuck in secure memory and since the SVM did not go secure, its MSR_S bit will be clear and the VM wont be able to access its pages even to do a clean exit).
