This allows eg. the RCU stall detector, or the soft/hardlockup
detectors to trigger a backtrace on all CPUs.
We implement this by sending a "safe" NMI, which will actually only
send an IPI. Unfortunately the generic code prints "NMI", so that's a
little confusing but we can probably live with it.
If one of the CPUs doesn't respond to the IPI, we then print some info
from it's paca and do a backtrace based on its saved_r1.
Example output:

Currently the options we have for sending NMIs are not necessarily
safe, that is they can potentially interrupt a CPU in a
non-recoverable region of code, meaning the kernel must then panic().
But we'd like to use smp_send_nmi_ipi() to do cross-CPU calls in
situations where we don't want to risk a panic(), because it doesn't
have the requirement that interrupts must be enabled like
smp_call_function().
So add an API for the caller to indicate that it wants to use the NMI
infrastructure, but doesn't want to do anything "unsafe".
Currently that is implemented by not actually calling cause_nmi_ipi(),
instead falling back to an IPI. In future we can pass the safe
parameter down to cause_nmi_ipi() and the individual backends can
potentially take it into account before deciding what to do.

A CPU that gets stuck with interrupts hard disable can be difficult to
debug, as on some platforms we have no way to interrupt the CPU to
find out what it's doing.
A stop-gap is to have the CPU save it's stack pointer (r1) in its paca
when it hard disables interrupts. That way if we can't interrupt it,
we can at least trace the stack based on where it last disabled
interrupts.
In some cases that will be total junk, but the stack trace code should
handle that. In the simple case of a CPU that disable interrupts and
then gets stuck in a loop, the stack trace should be informative.
We could clear the saved stack pointer when we enable interrupts, but
that loses information which could be useful if we have nothing else
to go on.

set_fs() sets the addr_limit, which is used in access_ok() to
determine if an address is a user or kernel address.
Some code paths use set_fs() to temporarily elevate the addr_limit so
that kernel code can read/write kernel memory as if it were user
memory. That is fine as long as the code can't ever return to
userspace with the addr_limit still elevated.
If that did happen, then userspace can read/write kernel memory as if
it were user memory, eg. just with write(2). In case it's not clear,
that is very bad. It has also happened in the past due to bugs.
Commit 5ea0727b16 ("x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode
return") added a mechanism to check the addr_limit value before
returning to userspace. Any call to set_fs() sets a thread flag,
TIF_FSCHECK, and if we see that on the return to userspace we go out
of line to check that the addr_limit value is not elevated.

Currently we do not have an isync, or any other context synchronizing
instruction prior to the slbie/slbmte in _switch() that updates the
SLB entry for the kernel stack.
However that is not correct as outlined in the ISA.
From Power ISA Version 3.0B, Book III, Chapter 11, page 1133:
"Changing the contents of ... the contents of SLB entries ... can
have the side effect of altering the context in which data
addresses and instruction addresses are interpreted, and in which
instructions are executed and data accesses are performed.
...
These side effects need not occur in program order, and therefore
may require explicit synchronization by software.
...
The synchronizing instruction before the context-altering
instruction ensures that all instructions up to and including that
synchronizing instruction are fetched and executed in the context
that existed before the alteration."
And page 1136:
"For data accesses, the context synchronizing instruction before the
slbie, slbieg, slbia, slbmte, tlbie, or tlbiel instruction ensures
that all preceding instructions that access data storage have
completed to a point at which they have reported all exceptions
they will cause."
We're not aware of any bugs caused by this, but it should be fixed
regardless.
Add the missing isync when updating kernel stack SLB entry.

When a single-threaded process has a non-local mm_cpumask, try to use
that point to flush the TLBs out of other CPUs in the cpumask.
An IPI is used for clearing remote CPUs for a few reasons:
- An IPI can end lazy TLB use of the mm, which is required to prevent
TLB entries being created on the remote CPU. The alternative is to
drop lazy TLB switching completely, which costs 7.5% in a context
switch ping-pong test betwee a process and kernel idle thread.
- An IPI can have remote CPUs flush the entire PID, but the local CPU
can flush a specific VA. tlbie would require over-flushing of the
local CPU (where the process is running).
- A single threaded process that is migrated to a different CPU is
likely to have a relatively small mm_cpumask, so IPI is reasonable.
No other thread can concurrently switch to this mm, because it must
have been given a reference to mm_users by the current thread before it
can use_mm. mm_users can be asynchronously incremented (by
mm_activate or mmget_not_zero), but those users must use remote mm
access and can't use_mm or access user address space. Existing code
makes the this assumption already, for example sparc64 has reset
mm_cpumask using this condition since the start of history, see
arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c.
This reduces tlbies for a kernel compile workload from 0.90M to 0.12M,
tlbiels are increased significantly due to the PID flushing for the
cleaning up remote CPUs, and increased local flushes (PID flushes take
128 tlbiels vs 1 tlbie).

efficient cmpxchg sequence.
Then remove the memory barriers from the operation. There is a
requirement for TLB flushing to load mm_cpumask after the store
that reduces pte permissions, which is moved into the TLB flush
code.

The ISA suggests ptesync after setting a pte, to prevent a table walk
initiated by a subsequent access from missing that store and causing a
spurious fault. This is an architectual allowance that allows an
implementation's page table walker to be incoherent with the store
queue.
However there is no correctness problem in taking a spurious fault in
userspace -- the kernel copes with these at any time, so the updated
pte will be found eventually. Spurious kernel faults on vmap memory
must be avoided, so a ptesync is put into flush_cache_vmap.
On POWER9 so far I have not found a measurable window where this can
result in more minor faults, so as an optimisation, remove the costly
ptesync from pte updates. If an implementation benefits from ptesync,
it would be better to add it back in update_mmu_cache, so it's not
done for things like fork(2).
fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 5.2% (12400->13100).

Prefetch the faulting address in update_mmu_cache to give the page
table walker perhaps 100 cycles head start as locks are dropped and
the interrupt completed.

This matches other architectures, when we know there will be no
further accesses to the address (e.g., for teardown), page table
entries can be cleared non-atomically.
The comments about NMMU are bogus: all MMU notifiers (including NMMU)
are released at this point, with their TLBs flushed. An NMMU access at
this point would be a bug.
