powerpc: Fix stack protector Kconfig test for clang

commit 46e1879deea22eed31e9425d58635895fc0e8040 upstream.

powerpc: Fix stack protector Kconfig test for clang

commit 46e1879deea22eed31e9425d58635895fc0e8040 upstream.

Clang's in-progress per-task stack protector support [1] does not work
with the current Kconfig checks because '-mstack-protector-guard-offset'
is not provided, unlike all other architecture Kconfig checks.

$ fd Kconfig -x rg -l mstack-protector-guard-offset
./arch/arm/Kconfig
./arch/riscv/Kconfig
./arch/arm64/Kconfig

This produces an error from clang, which is interpreted as the flags not
being supported at all when they really are.

$ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu \
-mstack-protector-guard=tls \
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13 \
-c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null
clang: error: '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' is used without '-mstack-protector-guard-offset', and there is no default

This argument will always be provided by the build system, so mirror
other architectures and use '-mstack-protector-guard-offset=0' for
testing support, which fixes the issue for clang and does not regress
support with GCC.

Even with the first problem addressed, the 32-bit test continues to fail
because Kbuild uses the powerpc64le-linux-gnu target for clang and
nothing flips the target to 32-bit, resulting in an error about an
invalid register valid:

$ clang --target=powerpc64le-linux-gnu \
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2 \
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=0 \
-x c -c -o /dev/null /dev/null
clang: error: invalid value 'r2' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r13

While GCC allows arbitrary registers, the implementation of
'-mstack-protector-guard=tls' in LLVM shares the same code path as the
user space thread local storage implementation, which uses a fixed
register (2 for 32-bit and 13 for 62-bit), so the command line parsing
enforces this limitation.

Use the Kconfig macro '$(m32-flag)', which expands to '-m32' when
supported, in the stack protector support cc-option call to properly
switch the target to a 32-bit one, which matches what happens in Kbuild.
While the 64-bit macro does not strictly need it, add the equivalent
64-bit option for symmetry.

powerpc/64s: Increase default stack size to 32KB

commit 18f14afe281648e31ed35c9ad2fcb724c4838ad9 upstream.

There are reports of kernels crashing due to stack overflow while
running OpenShift (Kubernetes). The primary contributor to the stack
usage seems to be openvswitch, which is used by OVN-Kubernetes (based on
OVN (Open Virtual Network)), but NFS also contributes in some stack
traces.

There may be some opportunities to reduce stack usage in the openvswitch
code, but doing so potentially require tradeoffs vs performance, and
also requires testing across architectures.

Looking at stack usage across the kernel (using -fstack-usage), shows
that ppc64le stack frames are on average 50-100% larger than the
equivalent function built for x86-64. Which is not surprising given the
minimum stack frame size is 32 bytes on ppc64le vs 16 bytes on x86-64.

So increase the default stack size to 32KB for the modern 64-bit Book3S
platforms, ie. pseries (virtualised) and powernv (bare metal). That
leaves the older systems like G5s, and the AmigaOne (pasemi) with a 16KB
stack which should be sufficient on those machines.

kexec: fix KEXEC_FILE dependencies

kexec: fix KEXEC_FILE dependencies

[ Upstream commit c1ad12ee0efc07244be37f69311e6f7c4ac98e62 ]

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'

Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already. On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.

Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available. This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.

On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance. Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-8192kB/nr_hugepages

Several of the powerpc defconfigs previously set the
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER value to 12, via the definition in
arch/powerpc/configs/fsl-emb-nonhw.config, used by:

mpc85xx_defconfig
mpc85xx_smp_defconfig

Fix it by increasing the allowed range to 12 to restore the previous
behaviour.

powerpc: Fix build issue with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY

We recently added support for -fpatchable-function-entry and it is
enabled by default on ppc32 (ppc64 needs gcc v13.1.0). When building the
kernel for ppc32 and also enabling CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
we see the below build error with older gcc versions:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o(__patchable_function_entries): error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections

This error is thrown since __patchable_function_entries section would be
garbage collected with --gc-sections since it does not reference any
other kept sections. This has subsequently been fixed with:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7d072167715829eed0622616f6ae0182900de3e

Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for gcc versions before v11.1.0 if
using -fpatchable-function-entry to avoid this bug.

powerpc/book3s64/memhotplug: enable memmap on memory for radix

Radix vmemmap mapping can map things correctly at the PMD level or PTE
level based on different device boundary checks. Hence we skip the
restrictions w.r.t vmemmap size to be multiple of PMD_SIZE. This also
makes the feature widely useful because to use PMD_SIZE vmemmap area we
require a memory block size of 2GiB

We can also use MHP_RESERVE_PAGES_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY to that the feature can
work with a memory block size of 256MB. Using altmap.reserve feature to
align things correctly at pageblock granularity. We can end up losing
some pages in memory with this. For ex: with a 256MiB memory block size,
we require 4 pages to map vmemmap pages, In order to align things
correctly we end up adding a reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096
pages 28 pages get reserved.

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -fpatchable-function-entry

GCC v13.1 updated support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le to
emit nops after the local entry point, rather than before it. This
allows us to use this in the kernel for ftrace purposes. A new script is
added under arch/powerpc/tools/ to help detect if nops are emitted after
the function local entry point, or before the global entry point.

With -fpatchable-function-entry, we no longer have the profiling
instructions generated at function entry, so we only need to validate
the presence of two nops at the ftrace location in ftrace_init_nop(). We
patch the preceding instruction with 'mflr r0' to match the
-mprofile-kernel ABI for subsequent ftrace use.

This changes the profiling instructions used on ppc32. The default -pg
option emits an additional 'stw' instruction after 'mflr r0' and before
the branch to _mcount 'bl _mcount'. This is very similar to the original
-mprofile-kernel implementation on ppc64le, where an additional 'std'
instruction was used to save LR to its save location in the caller's
stackframe. Subsequently, this additional store was removed in later
compiler versions for performance reasons. The same reasons apply for
ppc32 so we only patch in a 'mflr r0'.

powerpc: mm: convert to GENERIC_IOREMAP

By taking GENERIC_IOREMAP method, the generic generic_ioremap_prot(),
generic_iounmap(), and their generic wrapper ioremap_prot(), ioremap()
and iounmap() are all visible and available to arch. Arch needs to
provide wrapper functions to override the generic versions if there's
arch specific handling in its ioremap_prot(), ioremap() or iounmap().
This change will simplify implementation by removing duplicated code
with generic_ioremap_prot() and generic_iounmap(), and has the equivalent
functioality as before.

Here, add wrapper functions ioremap_prot() and iounmap() for powerpc's
special operation when ioremap() and iounmap().

powerpc/idle: Add support for nohlt

This patch enables config option GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP for arch
powerpc. This adds support for kernel param 'nohlt'.

Powerpc kernel also supports another kernel boot-time param called
'powersave' which can also be used to disable all cpu idle-states and
forces CPU to an idle-loop similar to what cpu_idle_poll() does. This
patch however makes powerpc kernel-parameters better aligned to the
generic boot-time parameters.
