Merge tag 'powerpc-5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

- Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
accelerator on Power9.

- Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
relying on an IPI for serialisation.

- A series of fixes & enhancements to make our machine check handling
more robust.

- Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
on Power10.

- Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).

- Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
driver.

- Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.

- Initial support for booting on Power10.

- Lots of other small features, cleanups & fixes.

powerpc/module_64: Use special stub for _mcount() with -mprofile-kernel

Since commit c55d7b5e64265f ("powerpc: Remove STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
incompatibility with RELOCATABLE"), powerpc kernels with
-mprofile-kernel can crash in certain scenarios with a trace like below:

BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch (NULL pointer?)
Faulting instruction address: 0x00000000
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix SMP NR_CPUS=256 DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NUMA PowerNV

do_mount+0xa18/0xc50
sys_mount+0x158/0x180
system_call+0x5c/0x68

The NIP points to NULL, or a random location (data even), while the LR
always points to the LEP of a function (with an offset of 8), indicating
that something went wrong with ftrace. However, ftrace is not
necessarily active when such crashes occur.

The kernel OOPS sometimes follows a warning from ftrace indicating that
some module functions could not be patched with a nop. Other times, if a
module is loaded early during boot, instruction patching can fail due to
a separate bug, but the error is not reported due to missing error
reporting.

In all the above cases when instruction patching fails, ftrace will be
disabled but certain kernel module functions will be left with default
calls to _mcount(). This is not a problem with ELFv1. However, with
-mprofile-kernel, the default stub is problematic since it depends on a
valid module TOC in r2. If the kernel (or a different module) calls into
a function that does not use the TOC, the function won't have a prologue
to setup the module TOC. When that function calls into _mcount(), we
will end up in the relocation stub that will use the previous TOC, and
end up trying to jump into a random location. From the above trace:

iomap_apply+0x20c/0x920 [kernel TOC]
|
V
ext4_iomap_end+0x8/0x30 [no GEP == kernel TOC]
|
V
_mcount() stub
[uses kernel TOC -> random entry]

To address this, let's change over to using the special stub that is
used for ftrace_[regs_]caller() for _mcount(). This ensures that we are
not dependent on a valid module TOC in r2 for default _mcount()
handling.

powerpc/module_64: Simplify check for -mprofile-kernel ftrace relocations

For -mprofile-kernel, we need special handling when generating stubs for
ftrace calls such as _mcount(). To faciliate this, we check if a
R_PPC64_REL24 relocation is for a symbol named "_mcount()" along with
also checking the instruction sequence. The latter is not really
required since "_mcount()" is an exported symbol and kernel modules
cannot use it. As such, drop the additional checking and simplify the
code. This helps unify stub creation for ftrace stubs with
-mprofile-kernel and aids in code reuse.

Also rename is_mprofile_mcount_callsite() to is_mprofile_ftrace_call()
to reflect the checking being done.

powerpc: Use a macro for creating instructions from u32s

In preparation for instructions having a more complex data type start
using a macro, ppc_inst(), for making an instruction out of a u32. A
macro is used so that instructions can be used as initializer elements.
Currently this does nothing, but it will allow for creating a data type
that can represent prefixed instructions.

powerpc: module_[32|64].c: replace swap function with built-in one

Replace relaswap with built-in one, because relaswap
does a simple byte to byte swap.

Since Spectre mitigations have made indirect function calls more
expensive, and the default simple byte copies swap is implemented
without them, an "optimized" custom swap function is now
a waste of time as well as code.

"Notable changes:

- Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't

- A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
kernel crashes.

- Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

- A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.
