Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS
call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.
According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address
to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is
finished.
Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an
application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will
encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.

RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).
The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.
Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.
RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":
R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
0 when in the critical regions.
Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real mode, 32 bits big endian mode and Recoverable
Interrupt is loaded. In the case MSR[S] is set, it will remain set while
entering RTAS as only urfid can unset it (thanks Fabiano).
In addition a check is added in do_enter_rtas() to detect calls made with
MSR[RI] unset, as we are forcing it on later.

On large config LPARs (having 192 and more cores), Linux fails to boot
due to insufficient memory in the first memblock. It is due to the
memory reservation for the crash kernel which starts at 128MB offset of
the first memblock. This memory reservation for the crash kernel doesn't
leave enough space in the first memblock to accommodate other essential
system resources.
The crash kernel start address was set to 128MB offset by default to
ensure that the crash kernel get some memory below the RMA region which
is used to be of size 256MB. But given that the RMA region size can be
512MB or more, setting the crash kernel offset to mid of RMA size will
leave enough space for the kernel to allocate memory for other system
resources.
Since the above crash kernel offset change is only applicable to the LPAR
platform, the LPAR feature detection is pushed before the crash kernel
reservation. The rest of LPAR specific initialization will still
be done during pseries_probe_fw_features as usual.
This patch is dependent on changes to paca allocation for boot CPU. It
expect boot CPU to discover 1T segment support which is introduced by
the patch posted here:

Generally RTAS cannot block, and in PAPR it is required to return control
to the OS within a few tens of microseconds. In order to support operations
which may take longer to complete, many RTAS primitives can return
intermediate -2 ("busy") or 990x ("extended delay") values, which indicate
that the OS should reattempt the same call with the same arguments at some
point in the future.
Current versions of PAPR are less than clear about this, but the intended
meanings of these values in more detail are:
RTAS_BUSY (-2): RTAS has suspended a potentially long-running operation in
order to meet its latency obligation and give the OS the opportunity to
perform other work. RTAS can resume making progress as soon as the OS
reattempts the call.
RTAS_EXTENDED_DELAY_{MIN...MAX} (9900-9905): RTAS must wait for an external
event to occur or for internal contention to resolve before it can complete
the requested operation. The value encodes a non-binding hint as to roughly
how long the OS should wait before calling again, but the OS is allowed to
reattempt the call sooner or even immediately.
Linux of course must take its own CPU scheduling obligations into account
when handling these statuses; e.g. a task which receives an RTAS_BUSY
status should check whether to reschedule before it attempts the RTAS call
again to avoid starving other tasks.
rtas_busy_delay() is a helper function that "consumes" a busy or extended
delay status. Common usage:
int rc;
do {
rc = rtas_call(rtas_token("some-function"), ...);
} while (rtas_busy_delay(rc));
/* convert rc to Linux error value, etc */
If rc is a busy or extended delay status, the caller can rely on
rtas_busy_delay() to perform an appropriate sleep or reschedule and return
nonzero. Other statuses are handled normally by the caller.
The current implementation of rtas_busy_delay() both oversleeps and
overuses the CPU:
* It performs msleep() for all 990x and even when no delay is
suggested (-2), but this is understood to actually sleep for two jiffies
minimum in practice (20ms with HZ=100). 9900 (1ms) and 9901 (10ms)
appear to be the most common extended delay statuses, and the
oversleeping measurably lengthens DLPAR operations, which perform
many RTAS calls.
* It does not sleep on 990x unless need_resched() is true, causing code
like the loop above to needlessly retry, wasting CPU time.
Alter the logic to align better with the intended meanings:
* When passed RTAS_BUSY, perform cond_resched() and return without
sleeping. The caller should reattempt immediately
* Always sleep when passed an extended delay status, using usleep_range()
for precise shorter sleeps. Limit the sleep time to one second even
though there are higher architected values.
Change rtas_busy_delay()'s return type to bool to better reflect its usage,
and add kernel-doc.
rtas_busy_delay_time() is unchanged, even though it "incorrectly" returns 1
for RTAS_BUSY. There are users of that API with open-coded delay loops in
sensitive contexts that will have to be taken on an individual basis.
Brief results for addition and removal of 5GB memory on a small P9 PowerVM
partition follow. Load was generated with stress-ng --cpu N. For add,
elapsed time is greatly reduced without significant change in the number of
RTAS calls or time spent on CPU. For remove, elapsed time is modestly
reduced, with significant reductions in RTAS calls and time spent on CPU.

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.
Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).
This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

ibm,suspend-me can succeed. Over time kernel/rtas.c has accreted a fair
amount of platform-specific code to implement this.
Since a different, more robust implementation of the suspend sequence
is now in the pseries platform code, we want to dispatch the request
there.
Note that invoking ibm,suspend-me via the RTAS syscall is all but
deprecated; this change preserves ABI compatibility for old programs
while providing to them the benefit of the new partition suspend
implementation. This is a behavior change in that the kernel performs
the device tree update and firmware activation before returning, but
experimentation indicates this is tolerated fine by legacy user space.

hibernation.
If the function is absent or the call fails, the OS will continue to

any recovery. Just log it and continue.

The pseries partition suspend sequence requires that all active CPUs
call H_JOIN, which suspends all but one of them with interrupts
disabled. The "chosen" CPU is then to call ibm,suspend-me to complete
the suspend. Upon returning from ibm,suspend-me, the chosen CPU is to
use H_PROD to wake the joined CPUs.
Using on_each_cpu() for this, as rtas_ibm_suspend_me() does to
implement partition migration, is susceptible to deadlock with other
users of on_each_cpu() and with users of stop_machine APIs. The
callback passed to on_each_cpu() is not allowed to synchronize with
other CPUs in the way it is used here.
Complicating the fix is the fact that rtas_ibm_suspend_me() also
occupies the function name that should be used to provide a more
conventional wrapper for ibm,suspend-me. Rename rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
to rtas_ibm_suspend_me_unsafe() to free up the name and indicate that
it should not gain users.

While drmgr has had work in some areas to make its RTAS syscall
interactions endian-neutral, its code for performing partition
migration via the syscall has never worked on LE. While it is able to
complete ibm,suspend-me successfully, it crashes when attempting the
subsequent ibm,update-nodes call.
drmgr is the only known (or plausible) user of ibm,suspend-me,
ibm,update-nodes, and ibm,update-properties, so allow them only in
big-endian configurations.

A number of userspace utilities depend on making calls to RTAS to retrieve
information and update various things.
The existing API through which we expose RTAS to userspace exposes more
RTAS functionality than we actually need, through the sys_rtas syscall,
which allows root (or anyone with CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to make any RTAS call they
want with arbitrary arguments.
Many RTAS calls take the address of a buffer as an argument, and it's up to
the caller to specify the physical address of the buffer as an argument. We
allocate a buffer (the "RMO buffer") in the Real Memory Area that RTAS can
access, and then expose the physical address and size of this buffer in
/proc/powerpc/rtas/rmo_buffer. Userspace is expected to read this address,
poke at the buffer using /dev/mem, and pass an address in the RMO buffer to
the RTAS call.
However, there's nothing stopping the caller from specifying whatever
address they want in the RTAS call, and it's easy to construct a series of
RTAS calls that can overwrite arbitrary bytes (even without /dev/mem
access).
Additionally, there are some RTAS calls that do potentially dangerous
things and for which there are no legitimate userspace use cases.
In the past, this would not have been a particularly big deal as it was
assumed that root could modify all system state freely, but with Secure
Boot and lockdown we need to care about this.
We can't fundamentally change the ABI at this point, however we can address
this by implementing a filter that checks RTAS calls against a list
of permitted calls and forces the caller to use addresses within the RMO
buffer.
The list is based off the list of calls that are used by the librtas
userspace library, and has been tested with a number of existing userspace
RTAS utilities. For compatibility with any applications we are not aware of
that require other calls, the filter can be turned off at build time.

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires
that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one
of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function:
* the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or
* the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition
resumes execution
Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by
commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into
an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are
offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two
states before a partition suspension can proceed.
This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac2d2d ("powerpc: Bring
all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code
to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call
H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had
multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user
space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates
user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform
feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads.
With commit 3aa565f53c39 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU
into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes
unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly
offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary
to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline
again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN;
stopped threads can be left alone.

Implement rtas_call_reentrant() for reentrant rtas-calls:
"ibm,int-on", "ibm,int-off",ibm,get-xive" and "ibm,set-xive".
On LoPAPR Version 1.1 (March 24, 2016), from 7.3.10.1 to 7.3.10.4,
items 2 and 3 say:
2 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * call must be
reentrant to the number of processors on the platform.
3 - For the PowerPC External Interrupt option: The * argument call
buffer for each simultaneous call must be physically unique.
So, these rtas-calls can be called in a lockless way, if using
a different buffer for each cpu doing such rtas call.
For this, it was suggested to add the buffer (struct rtas_args)
in the PACA struct, so each cpu can have it's own buffer.
The PACA struct received a pointer to rtas buffer, which is
allocated in the memory range available to rtas 32-bit.
Reentrant rtas calls are useful to avoid deadlocks in crashing,
where rtas-calls are needed, but some other thread crashed holding
the rtas.lock.
This is a backtrace of a deadlock from a kdump testing environment:
#0 arch_spin_lock
#1 lock_rtas ()
#2 rtas_call (token=8204, nargs=1, nret=1, outputs=0x0)

The LPAR migration implementation and userspace-initiated cpu hotplug
can interleave their executions like so:
1. Set cpu 7 offline via sysfs.
2. Begin a partition migration, whose implementation requires the OS
to ensure all present cpus are online; cpu 7 is onlined:
rtas_ibm_suspend_me -> rtas_online_cpus_mask -> cpu_up
This sets cpu 7 online in all respects except for the cpu's
corresponding struct device; dev->offline remains true.
3. Set cpu 7 online via sysfs. _cpu_up() determines that cpu 7 is
already online and returns success. The driver core (device_online)
sets dev->offline = false.
4. The migration completes and restores cpu 7 to offline state:
rtas_ibm_suspend_me -> rtas_offline_cpus_mask -> cpu_down
This leaves cpu7 in a state where the driver core considers the cpu
device online, but in all other respects it is offline and
unused. Attempts to online the cpu via sysfs appear to succeed but the
driver core actually does not pass the request to the lower-level
cpuhp support code. This makes the cpu unusable until the cpu device
is manually set offline and then online again via sysfs.
Instead of directly calling cpu_up/cpu_down, the migration code should
use the higher-level device core APIs to maintain consistent state and
serialize operations.

The protocol for suspending or migrating an LPAR requires all present
processor threads to enter H_JOIN. So if we have threads offline, we
have to temporarily bring them up. This can race with administrator
actions such as SMT state changes. As of dfd718a2ed1f ("powerpc/rtas:
Fix a potential race between CPU-Offline & Migration"),
rtas_ibm_suspend_me() accounts for this, but errors out with -EBUSY
for what almost certainly is a transient condition in any reasonable
scenario.
Callers of rtas_ibm_suspend_me() already retry when -EAGAIN is
returned, and it is typical during a migration for that to happen
repeatedly for several minutes polling the H_VASI_STATE hcall result
before proceeding to the next stage.
So return -EAGAIN instead of -EBUSY when this race is
encountered. Additionally: logging this event is still appropriate but
use pr_info instead of pr_err; and remove use of unlikely() while here
as this is not a hot path at all.

Live Partition Migrations require all the present CPUs to execute the
H_JOIN call, and hence rtas_ibm_suspend_me() onlines any offline CPUs
before initiating the migration for this purpose.
The commit 85a88cabad57
("powerpc/pseries: Disable CPU hotplug across migrations")
disables any CPU-hotplug operations once all the offline CPUs are
brought online to prevent any further state change. Once the
CPU-Hotplug operation is disabled, the code assumes that all the CPUs
are online.
However, there is a minor window in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() between
onlining the offline CPUs and disabling CPU-Hotplug when a concurrent
CPU-offline operations initiated by the userspace can succeed thereby
nullifying the the aformentioned assumption. In this unlikely case
these offlined CPUs will not call H_JOIN, resulting in a system hang.
Fix this by verifying that all the present CPUs are actually online
after CPU-Hotplug has been disabled, failing which we restore the
state of the offline CPUs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() and return an
-EBUSY.

The powerpc mobility code may receive RTAS requests to perform PRRN

time, including during LPAR migration operations.
In some configurations where the affinity of CPUs or memory is being
changed on that platform, the PRRN requests may apply or refer to
outdated information prior to the complete update of the device-tree.
This patch changes the duration for which topology updates are
suppressed during LPAR migrations from just the rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
/ 'ibm,suspend-me' call(s) to cover the entire migration_store()
operation to allow all changes to the device-tree to be applied prior
to accepting and applying any PRRN requests.

When performing partition migrations all present CPUs must be online
as all present CPUs must make the H_JOIN call as part of the migration
process. Once all present CPUs make the H_JOIN call, one CPU is returned
to make the rtas call to perform the migration to the destination system.
During testing of migration and changing the SMT state we have found
instances where CPUs are offlined, as part of the SMT state change,
before they make the H_JOIN call. This results in a hung system where
every CPU is either in H_JOIN or offline.
To prevent this this patch disables CPU hotplug during the migration
process.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

The RTAS device-tree node's refcount has been increased by one in
the function call of_find_node_by_name(), but it's missed to be
decreased by one in the error path. It leads to unbalanced refcount
on RTAS device-tree node.
This fixes above issue by decreasing RTAS device-tree node's refcount
in error path.

This uses of_property_read_u32() in rtas_initialize() so that we

This removes the unnecessary nested if statements in function
rtas_initialize(), to simplify the code. No functional changes

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:
PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
$(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)
to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

powernv marks it's halt and restart calls as __noreturn. However,
ppc_md does not have this annotation. Add the annotation to ppc_md,
and then to every halt/restart function that is missing it.
Additionally, I have verified that all of these functions do not
return. Occasionally I have added a spin loop to be sure.

The test is unnecessary, the FW_FEATURE_LPAR is sufficient as there
exist no other LPAR type that has RTAS.
