Mahesh Salgaonkar d93b0ac01a powerpc/book3s/mce: Move add_taint() later in virtual mode
machine_check_early() gets called in real mode. The very first time when
add_taint() is called, it prints a warning which ends up calling opal
call (that uses OPAL_CALL wrapper) for writing it to console. If we get a
very first machine check while we are in opal we are doomed. OPAL_CALL
overwrites the PACASAVEDMSR in r13 and in this case when we are done with
MCE handling the original opal call will use this new MSR on it's way
back to opal_return. This usually leads to unexpected behaviour or the
kernel to panic. Instead move the add_taint() call later in the virtual
mode where it is safe to call.

This is broken with current FW level. We got lucky so far for not getting
very first MCE hit while in OPAL. But easily reproducible on Mambo.

Michael Ellerman 63f44d6514 powerpc/book3s: Print task info if we take a machine check in user mode
For an MCE (Machine Check Exception) that hits while in user mode
MSR(PR=1), print the task info to the console MCE error log. This may
help to identify an application that triggered the MCE.

After this patch the MCE console looks like:

    Initiator: CPU

Mahesh Salgaonkar 5b1d6fc2d4 powerpc/book3s: Print the kernel function name in machine check
For D-side errors we print the load/store address that caused the
machine check as 'Effective address'. But the instruction that may have
caused the machine check can also be helpful, so in addition to printing
the NIP, also print the kernel function name as well.

After this patch the MCE console log would look like:

Daniel Axtens ffb2d78eca powerpc/mce: fix off by one errors in mce event handling
Before 69111bac42 ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses"), in
save_mce_event, index got the value of mce_nest_count, and
mce_nest_count was incremented *after* index was set.

However, that patch changed the behaviour so that mce_nest count was
incremented *before* setting index.

This causes an off-by-one error, as get_mce_event sets index as
mce_nest_count - 1 before reading mce_event.  Thus get_mce_event reads
bogus data, causing warnings like
"Machine Check Exception, Unknown event version 0 !"
and breaking MCEs handling.

Restore the old behaviour and unbreak MCE handling by subtracting one
from the newly incremented value.

The same broken change occured in machine_check_queue_event (which set
a queue read by machine_check_process_queued_event).  Fix that too,
unbreaking printing of MCE information.

Christoph Lameter 69111bac42 powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses
This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.

V2->V2
  - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

Mahesh Salgaonkar 55672ecfa2 powerpc/book3s: Recover from MC in sapphire on SCOM read via MMIO.
Detect and recover from machine check when inside opal on a special
scom load instructions. On specific SCOM read via MMIO we may get a machine
check exception with SRR0 pointing inside opal. To recover from MC
in this scenario, get a recovery instruction address and return to it from
MC.

OPAL will export the machine check recoverable ranges through
device tree node mcheck-recoverable-ranges under ibm,opal:

# hexdump /proc/device-tree/ibm,opal/mcheck-recoverable-ranges
0000000 0000 0000 3000 2804 0000 000c 0000 0000
0000010 3000 2814 0000 0000 3000 27f0 0000 000c
0000020 0000 0000 3000 2814 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
0000030 llll llll yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy
...
...
#

where:
	xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx = Starting instruction address
	llll llll           = Length of the address range.
	yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy = recovery address

Each recoverable address range entry is (start address, len,
recovery address), 2 cells each for start and recovery address, 1 cell for
len, totalling 5 cells per entry. During kernel boot time, build up the
recovery table with the list of recovery ranges from device-tree node which
will be used during machine check exception to recover from MMIO SCOM UE.

we can log it later when we get back into host kernel with r1 pointing to
kernel stack e.g. during syscall exit.

Mahesh Salgaonkar 36df96f8ac powerpc/book3s: Decode and save machine check event.
Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also
take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down
in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes
and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full
MCE information.

We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still
available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take
another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new
stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have
our MCE information safe on current stack.

We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer
is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter
mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter
machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot
(index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the
MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler.

This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event()
generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and
retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so
that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag
either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be
fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking
release_mce_event().

This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic
mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt.

The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so
that event is available for linus host machine

If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error.
If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and
delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it
exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler
which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure
case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to
consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false
and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.
