Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Highlights:
- Enable support for memory protection keys aka "pkeys" on Power7/8/9
when using the hash table MMU.
- Extend our interrupt soft masking to support masking PMU interrupts
as well as "normal" interrupts, and then use that to implement
local_t for a ~4x speedup vs the current atomics-based
implementation.
- A new driver "ocxl" for "Open Coherent Accelerator Processor
Interface (OpenCAPI)" devices.
- Support for new device tree properties on PowerVM to describe
hotpluggable memory and devices.
- Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 64-bit
VDSO.
- Freescale updates from Scott: fixes for CPM GPIO and an FSL PCI
erratum workaround, plus a minor cleanup patch.
As well as quite a lot of other changes all over the place, and small
fixes and cleanups as always.

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for powerpc64.
For pointers that belong to the kernel
- Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
.opd section address range;
- Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
will dereference only function pointers that are within
[__start_opd, __end_opd);
For pointers that belong to a module
- Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).

powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access
part of an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc
pointer relative address then code like the following is possible.
addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha
ld r3,var@toc@l(r9)
ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9)
This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is
sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset
added to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't
have any guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code
generated by older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0
alignment, which can result in relocation failures at module load time
even without the wrap problem.
Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile
and module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules
or those without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).

When attempting to load a livepatch module, I got the following error:
module_64: patch_module: Expect noop after relocate, got 3c820000
The error was triggered by the following code in
unregister_netdevice_queue():
14c: 00 00 00 48 b 14c <unregister_netdevice_queue+0x14c>
14c: R_PPC64_REL24 net_set_todo

GCC didn't insert a nop after the branch to net_set_todo() because it's
a sibling call, so it never returns. The nop isn't needed after the
branch in that case.

Livepatch re-uses module loader function apply_relocate_add() to write
relocations, instead of managing them by arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.
apply_relocate_add() doesn't understand livepatch symbols (marked with
SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section index) and assumes them to be local
symbols by default for R_PPC64_REL24 relocation type. It fails with an
error, when trying to calculate offset with local_entry_offset():
module_64: kpatch_meminfo: REL24 -1152921504897399800 out of range!
Whereas livepatch symbols are essentially SHN_UNDEF, should be called
via stub used for global calls. This issue can be fixed by teaching
apply_relocate_add() to handle both SHN_UNDEF/SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols
via the same stub. This patch extends SHN_UNDEF code to handle
livepatch symbols too.

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_<arch>_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.
Note that this mostly reverts commit d4703aefdbc8 ("module: handle ppc64
relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y")

In the module loader we process relocations, and for long jumps we
generate trampolines (aka stubs). At the call site for one of these
trampolines we usually need to generate a load instruction to restore
the TOC pointer into r2.
There is one exception however, which is calls to mcount() using the
mprofile-kernel ABI, they handle the TOC inside the stub, and so for
them we do not generate a TOC load.
The bug is in how the code in restore_r2() decides if it needs to
generate the TOC load. It does so by looking for a nop following the
branch, and if it sees a nop, it replaces it with the load. In general
the compiler has no reason to generate a nop following the mcount()
call and so that check works OK.
However if we combine a jump label at the start of a function, with an
early return, such that GCC applies the shrink-wrapping optimisation, we
can then end up with an mcount call followed immediately by a nop.
However the nop is not there for a TOC load, it is for the jump label.
That confuses restore_r2() into replacing the jump label nop with a TOC
load, which in turn confuses ftrace into replacing the mcount call with
a b +8 (fixed in the previous commit). The end result is we jump over
the jump label, which if it was supposed to return means we incorrectly
run the body of the function.
We have seen this in practice with some yet-to-be-merged patches that
use jump labels more extensively.
The fix is relatively simple, in restore_r2() we check for an
mprofile-kernel style mcount() call first, before looking for the
presence of a nop.

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check
that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is.
So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
v2 is detected.
We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also
add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount()
very early in the function with minimal overhead.
Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were
bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in
GCC 4.9, 5 and 6.
Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the
flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the
std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch
supports both sequences.
Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission.
Key changes:
- rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs.
- implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller()
which deal with the new ABI.
- updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling
sequence.
- updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence.
- implement ftrace_modify_call().
- updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module
stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

In order to support the new -mprofile-kernel ABI, we need to be able to
call from the module back to ftrace_caller() (in the kernel) without
using the module's r2. That is because the function in this module which
is calling ftrace_caller() may not have setup r2, if it doesn't
otherwise need it (ie. it accesses no globals).
To make that work we add a new stub which is used for calling
ftrace_caller(), which uses the kernel toc instead of the module toc.

When a module is loaded, calls out to the kernel go via a stub which is
generated at runtime. One of these stubs is used to call _mcount(),
which is the default target of tracing calls generated by the compiler
with -pg.
If dynamic ftrace is enabled (which it typically is), another stub is
used to call ftrace_caller(), which is the target of tracing calls when
ftrace is actually active.
ftrace then wants to disable the calls to _mcount() at module startup,
and enable/disable the calls to ftrace_caller() when enabling/disabling
tracing - all of these it does by patching the code.
As part of that code patching, the ftrace code wants to confirm that the
branch it is about to modify, is in fact a call to a module stub which
calls _mcount() or ftrace_caller().
Currently it does that by inspecting the instructions and confirming
they are what it expects. Although that works, the code to do it is
pretty intricate because it requires lots of knowledge about the exact
format of the stub.
We can make that process easier by marking the generated stubs with a
magic value, and then looking for that magic value. Altough this is not
as rigorous as the current method, I believe it is sufficient in
practice.

Currently we generate the module stub for ftrace_caller() at the bottom
of apply_relocate_add(). However apply_relocate_add() is potentially
called more than once per module, which means we will try to generate
the ftrace_caller() stub multiple times.
Although the current code deals with that correctly, ie. it only
generates a stub the first time, it would be clearer to only try to
generate the stub once.
Note also on first reading it may appear that we generate a different
stub for each section that requires relocation, but that is not the
case. The code in stub_for_addr() that searches for an existing stub
uses sechdrs[me->arch.stubs_section], ie. the single stub section for
this module.
A cleaner approach is to only generate the ftrace_caller() stub once,
from module_finalize(). Although the original code didn't check to see
if the stub was actually generated correctly, it seems prudent to add a
check, so do that. And an additional benefit is we can clean the ifdefs
up a little.
Finally we must propagate the const'ness of some of the pointers passed
to module_finalize(), but that is also an improvement.

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.
This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.
Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.
mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large,
which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le. This was
necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary
sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2
global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption
that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found
within 2 GB of the function entry point:
func:
addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha
addi r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l
.localentry func, .-func
To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global
entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large:
.quad .TOC.-func
func:
.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY
ld r2, -8(r12)
add r2, r2, r12
.localentry func, .-func
The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will
replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the
linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in
range after all.
Since this new relocation is now present in module object files,
the kernel module loader is required to handle them too. This
patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the
same optimization done by the GNU linker.

The commit 71ec7c55ed91 introduced the magic symbol ".TOC." for ELFv2 ABI.
This symbol is built manually and has no CRC value computed. A zero value
is put in the CRC section to avoid modpost complaining about a missing CRC.
Unfortunately, this breaks the kernel module loading when the kernel is
relocated (kdump case for instance) because of the relocation applied to
the kcrctab values.
This patch compute a CRC value for the TOC symbol which will match the one
compute by the kernel when it is relocated - aka '0 - relocate_start' done in
maybe_relocated called by check_version (module.c).

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC
opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions
at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just
compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about.
We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode
as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already
have.
Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions
since older assemblers don't know about them.

Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace
This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for
PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace.
Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates:
- fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks.
- fix to is_bl_op compare.
Thanks to Milton Miller for:
- finding the nasty race with using two nops, and recommending
instead that I use a branch 8 forward.

Commit deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9 ("lib: Correct printk
%pF to work on all architectures") broke the non modular builds by
moving an essential function into modules.c. Fix this by moving it
out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline. To do this, the
definition of struct ppc64_opd_entry has been lifted out of modules.c
and put in asm/elf.h where it belongs.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

When a module has relocation sections with tens of thousands of
entries, counting the distinct/unique entries only (i.e. no
duplicates) at load time can take tens of seconds and up to minutes.
The sore point is the count_relocs() function which is called as part
of the architecture specific module loading processing path:
-> load_module() generic
-> module_frob_arch_sections() arch specific
-> get_plt_size() 32-bit
-> get_stubs_size() 64-bit
-> count_relocs()
Here count_relocs is being called to find out how many distinct
targets of R_PPC_REL24 relocations there are, since each distinct
target needs a PLT entry or a stub created for it.
The previous counting algorithm has O(n^2) complexity. Basically two
solutions were proposed on the e-mail list: a hash based approach and
a sort based approach.
The hash based approach is the fastest (O(n)) but the has it needs
additional memory and for certain corner cases it could take lots of
memory due to the degeneration of the hash. One such proposal was
submitted here:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-June/037641.html
The sort based approach is slower (O(n * log n + n)) but if the
sorting is done "in place" it doesn't need additional memory.
This has O(n + n * log n) complexity with no additional memory
requirements.
This commit implements the in-place sort option.

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the
function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general.
There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several
functions.
Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG
macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which
is never used.

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves
adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader.
It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it
would warn when used in .init.text).

Normally, ppc64 module .ko files contain a table-of-contents (.toc)
section, but if the module doesn't reference any static or external
data or external procedures, it is possible for gcc/binutils to
generate a .ko that doesn't have a .toc. Currently the module
loader refuses to load such a module, since it needs the address
of the .toc section to use in relocations.
This patch fixes the problem by using the address of the .stubs
section instead, which is an acceptable substitute in this situation.
