Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "The main change is we're reverting the initial stack protector support we merged this cycle. It turns out to not work on toolchains built with libc support, and fixing it will be need to wait for another release. And the rest are all fairly minor: - Some pasemi machines were not booting due to a missing error check in prom_find_boot_cpu() - In EEH we were checking a pointer rather than the bool it pointed to - The clang build was broken by a BUILD_BUG_ON() we added. - The radix (Power9 only) version of map_kernel_page() was broken if our memory size was a multiple of 2MB, which it generally isn't Thanks to: Darren Stevens, Gavin Shan, Reza Arbab" * tag 'powerpc-4.10-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/mm: Use the correct pointer when setting a 2MB pte powerpc: Fix build failure with clang due to BUILD_BUG_ON() powerpc: Revert the initial stack protector support powerpc/eeh: Fix wrong flag passed to eeh_unfreeze_pe() powerpc: Add missing error check to prom_find_boot_cpu()

modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities

2017-02-03T16:28:25+00:00

The modversion symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to easily populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate each kcrctab slot with the correct value. This has a couple of downsides: - Given that the CRCs are treated as memory addresses, we waste 4 bytes for each CRC on 64 bit architectures, - On architectures that support runtime relocation, a R__RELATIVE relocation entry is emitted for each CRC value, which identifies it as a quantity that requires fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset of the kernel. This results in corrupted CRCs unless we explicitly undo the fixup (and this is currently being handled in the core module code) - Such runtime relocation entries take up 24 bytes of __init space each, resulting in a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size for CRCs. Switching to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures fixes most of these issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as quantities that require fixing up based on the actual runtime load offset. Note that on some ELF64 architectures [such as PPC64], these 32-bit values are still emitted as [absolute] runtime relocatable quantities, even if the value resolves to a build time constant. Since relative relocations are always resolved at build time, this patch enables MODULE_REL_CRCS on powerpc when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, which turns the absolute CRC references into relative references into .rodata where the actual CRC value is stored. So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the __CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use 32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately resolved using values that do not exceed 0xffffffff). To avoid potential problems with legacy 32-bit architectures using legacy toolchains, the equivalent C definition of the kcrctab entry is retained for 32-bit architectures.

powerpc: Revert the initial stack protector support

2017-01-24T10:37:43+00:00

Unfortunately the stack protector support we merged recently only works on some toolchains. If the toolchain is built without glibc support everything works fine, but if glibc is built then it leads to a panic at boot. The solution is not rc5 material, so revert the support for now. This reverts commits: 6533b7c16ee5 ("powerpc: Initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support") 902e06eb86cd ("powerpc/32: Change the stack protector canary value per task") Fixes: 6533b7c16ee5 ("powerpc: Initial stack protector (-fstack-protector) support") Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/eeh: Fix wrong flag passed to eeh_unfreeze_pe()

2017-01-24T10:22:51+00:00

In __eeh_clear_pe_frozen_state(), we should pass the flag's value instead of its address to eeh_unfreeze_pe(). The isolated flag is cleared if no error returned from __eeh_clear_pe_frozen_state(). We never observed the error from the function. So the isolated flag should have been always cleared, no real issue is caused because of the misused @flag. This fixes the code by passing the value of @flag to eeh_unfreeze_pe().

powerpc: Add missing error check to prom_find_boot_cpu()

2017-01-24T04:57:02+00:00

prom_init.c calls 'instance-to-package' twice, but the return is not checked during prom_find_boot_cpu(). The result is then passed to prom_getprop(), which could be PROM_ERROR. Add a return check to prevent this. This was found on a pasemi system, where CFE doesn't have a working 'instance-to package' prom call. Before Commit 5c0484e25ec0 ('powerpc: Endian safe trampoline') the area around addr 0 was mostly 0's and this doesn't cause a problem. Once the macro 'FIXUP_ENDIAN' has been added to head_64.S, the low memory area now has non-zero values, which cause the prom_getprop() call to hang. mpe: Also confirmed that under SLOF if 'instance-to-package' did fail with PROM_ERROR we would crash in SLOF. So the bug is not specific to CFE, it's just that other open firmwares don't trigger it because they have a working 'instance-to-package'.

powerpc/eeh: Enable IO path on permanent error

2017-01-18T04:11:19+00:00

We give up recovery on permanent error, simply shutdown the affected devices and remove them. If the devices can't be put into quiet state, they spew more traffic that is likely to cause another unexpected EEH error. This was observed on "p8dtu2u" machine: 0002:00:00.0 PCI bridge: IBM Device 03dc 0002:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation \ Ethernet Controller X710/X557-AT 10GBASE-T (rev 02) 0002:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation \ Ethernet Controller X710/X557-AT 10GBASE-T (rev 02) 0002:01:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation \ Ethernet Controller X710/X557-AT 10GBASE-T (rev 02) 0002:01:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation \ Ethernet Controller X710/X557-AT 10GBASE-T (rev 02) On P8 PowerNV platform, the IO path is frozen when shutdowning the devices, meaning the memory registers are inaccessible. It is why the devices can't be put into quiet state before removing them. This fixes the issue by enabling IO path prior to putting the devices into quiet state.

powerpc: Fix build warning on 32-bit PPC

2016-12-26T00:12:20+00:00

I am getting the following warning when I build kernel 4.9-git on my PowerBook G4 with a 32-bit PPC processor: AS arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.o arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S:299:7: warning: "CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE" is not defined [-Wundef] This problem is evident after commit 989cea5c14be ("kbuild: prevent lib-ksyms.o rebuilds"); however, this change in kbuild only exposes an error that has been in the code since 2005 when this source file was created. That was with commit 9994a33865f4 ("powerpc: Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S"). The offending line does not make a lot of sense. This error does not seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending that it be applied to any stable versions. Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.
