When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a
few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with
small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it
will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads.
Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB
miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch
time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the
cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused.
Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim
side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of
large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that
is an obvious win for common workloads.
With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch
benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures
disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%).
POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not
see a big gain like POWER9.
Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down
from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all
be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary
loading.

This is a patch that adds support for PTRACE_SYSEMU ptrace request in
PowerPC architecture.
When ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU, ...) request is called, it will be handled by
the arch independent function ptrace_resume(), which will tag the task with
the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag. This flag needs to be handled from a platform
dependent point of view, which is what this patch does.
This patch adds this task's flag as part of the _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, which
is the MACRO that is used to trace syscalls at entrance/exit.
Since TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is now part of _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, if the task has
_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE set, it will hit do_syscall_trace_enter() at syscall
entrance and do_syscall_trace_leave() at syscall leave.
do_syscall_trace_enter() needs to handle the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag properly,
which will interrupt the syscall executing if TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is set. The
output values should not be changed, i.e. the return value (r3) should
contain the original syscall argument on exit.
With this flag set, the syscall is not executed fundamentally, because
do_syscall_trace_enter() is returning -1 which is bigger than NR_syscall,
thus, skipping the syscall execution and exiting userspace.

Moving TIF_32BIT to use bit 20 instead of 4 in the task flag field.
This change is making room for an upcoming new task macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU) which is preferred to set a bit in the lower 16-bits
part of the word.
This upcoming flag macro will take part in a composed macro
(_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE) which will contain other flags as well, and it is
preferred that the whole _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE macro only sets the lower 16
bits of a word, so, it could be handled using immediate operations (as load
immediate, add immediate, ...) where the immediate operand (SI) is limited
to 16-bits.
Another possible solution would be using the LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() macro
to load a full 64-bits word immediate, but it takes 5 operations instead of
one.
Having TIF_32BITS being redefined to use an upper bit is not a problem
since there is only one place in the assembly code where TIF_32BIT is being
used, and it could be replaced with an operation with right shift (addis),
since it is used alone, i.e. not being part of a composed macro, which has
different bits set, and would require LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE().
Tested on a 64 bits Big Endian machine running a 32 bits task.

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.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:
init_thread_union
init_stack
INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add the TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag to enable the new livepatch
per-task consistency model for powerpc. The bit getting set indicates
the thread has a pending patch which needs to be applied when the thread
exits the kernel.
The bit is included in the _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK macro so that
do_notify_resume() and klp_update_patch_state() get called when the bit

In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in
ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only),
tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations,
placing the flag in ti->status.
Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common
implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and
drop the custom implementations.
Additional architectures can opt in by removing their
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

This patch provides VIRT_CPU_ACCOUTING to PPC32 architecture.
PPC32 doesn't have the PACA structure, so we use the task_info
structure to store the accounting data.
In order to reuse on PPC32 the PPC64 functions, all u64 data has
been replaced by 'unsigned long' so that it is u32 on PPC32 and
u64 on PPC64

In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate
stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and
store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info.
Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise
that value, so it must be done at run time.
This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until
the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

In commit a3e5b356b3 "powerpc: Don't use local named register variable
in current_thread_info" Anton changed the way we did current_thread_info()
to accommodate LLVM, and it was not meant to have any effect elsewhere.
Unfortunately it has exposed a gcc bug, where r1 gets copied into
another register and then gcc uses that register to restore the toc
after a function call, even when that register is volatile and has been
clobbered by the function call.
We could revert Anton's patch, but it's not clear the original code is
safe either, we may just have been lucky.
The cleanest solution is to just use the existing CURRENT_THREAD_INFO()
asm macro, and call it using inline asm.
Segher points out we don't need volatile on the asm, if the result of
the shift is unused it's fine for the compiler to elide it.

LLVM doesn't support local named register variables and is unlikely
to. current_thread_info is using one, fix it by moving it out and
calling it __current_r1().
I gave it a bit of an obscure name because we don't want anyone else
using it - they should use current_stack_pointer(). This specific
case is performance critical and we can't afford to call a function
to get it. Furthermore it isn't important to know exactly where in
the stack we are since we mask the lower bits.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. This
happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write
operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the
copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug.
The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process
is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in
.fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in
.transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use
FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(),
which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore,
when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX
disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know
which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state,
or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no
way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not,
whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed.
Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has
been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled
for the user process with the current transactional state in the
FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction.
Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the
process is no longer transactional.
In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we
test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM.
This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored
before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field
in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored.
The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM
bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers,
which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and
flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec.
The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX
state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state
has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional.
Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after
reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid
(having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state).
Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the
transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before
calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set
the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit.
This is the test program:
/* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013
*
* See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to
* kernel vmx copy loops.
*
* gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy

Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
making sure it was all finalized.
The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
with gcc, so we are all good. Oh and we actually missed the actual
Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
fixes.
I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one. We'll
bring fixes for that after -rc1.
Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
be merged into glibc soon. There are a number of very nice
improvements including the removal of function descriptors. Rusty's
kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
transition"

powerpc: Set eflags correctly for ELF ABIv2 core dumps.
powerpc: Add TIF_ELF2ABI flag.
pseries: Add H_SET_MODE to change exception endianness
powerpc/pseries: Fix endian issues in pseries EEH code
Little endian ppc64 is getting an exciting new ABI. This is reflected
by the bottom two bits of e_flags in the ELF header:
0 == legacy binaries (v1 ABI)
1 == binaries using the old ABI (compiled with a new toolchain)
2 == binaries using the new ABI.
We store this in a thread flag, because we need to set it in core
dumps and for signal delivery. Our chief concern is that it doesn't
use function descriptors.

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.
To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.
In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

Fix up powerpc to the new mmu_gather stuff.
PPC has an extra batching queue to RCU free the actual pagetable
allocations, use the ARCH extentions for that for now.
For the ppc64_tlb_batch, which tracks the vaddrs to unhash from the
hardware hash-table, keep using per-cpu arrays but flush on context switch
and use a TLF bit to track the lazy_mmu state.

Add a node parameter to alloc_thread_info(), and change its name to
alloc_thread_info_node()
This change is needed to allow NUMA aware kthread_create_on_cpu()

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.
Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
