__ftrace_make_call assumed ABIv1 TOC stack offsets, so it
broke on ABIv2.
While we are here, we can simplify the instruction modification
code. Since we always update one instruction there is no need to
probe_kernel_write and flush_icache_range, just use patch_branch.

Now we have is_module_trampoline() and module_trampoline_target()

ftrace has way too much knowledge of our kernel module trampoline

When testing the ftrace function tracer, I realised that ftrace_caller
and mcount are called from modules and they both call into C, therefore
they need the ABIv2 global entry point to establish r2.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
If an assembly function that calls back into c code is exported to
modules, we need to ensure r2 is setup correctly. There are only
two places crazy enough to do it (two of which are my fault).

ELFv2 doesn't use function descriptors, because it doesn't need to
load a new r2 when calling into a function. On the other hand, you're
supposed to use a local entry point for R_PPC_REL24 branches.

In ELFv2, r12 is supposed to equal to PC on entry to a function.
Our stubs use r11, so change swap that with r12.

ELFv2 doesn't use function descriptors, so we don't expect symbols to
start with ".". But because depmod and modpost strip ".", and we have
the special symbol ".TOC.", we still need to do it.

The kernel resolved the '.TOC.' to a fake symbol, so we need to fix it up
to point to our .toc section plus 0x8000.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
For the ELFv2 ABI, powerpc introduces a magic symbol ".TOC.". If we
don't create a CRC for it (minus the leading ".", since we strip that)
we get a modpost warning about missing CRC and the CRC array seems to
be displaced by 1 so other CRCs mismatch too.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
For the ELFv2 ABI, powerpc introduces a magic symbol ".TOC.". depmod
then complains that this doesn't resolve (so does modpost, but we could
easily fix that). To export this, we need to use asm.
modpost and depmod both strip "." from symbols for the old PPC64 ELFv1
ABI, so we actually export a "TOC.".

There is no need to put a function descriptor in
__secondary_hold_spinloop. Use ppc_function_entry to get the
instruction address and put it in __secondary_hold_spinloop instead.

TRACE_WITH_FRAME_BUFFER creates 32 byte stack frames. On ppc64
ABIv1 this is too small and a callee could corrupt the stack by
writing to the parameter save area (starting at offset 48).
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
Some of the assembler files in lib/ make use of the fact that in the
ELFv1 ABI, the caller guarantees to provide stack space to save the
parameter registers r3 ... r10. This guarantee is no longer present
in ELFv2 for functions that have no variable argument list and no
more than 8 arguments.
Change the affected routines to temporarily store registers in the
red zone and/or the top of their own stack frame (in the space
provided to save r31 .. r29, which is actually not used in these
routines).
In opal_query_takeover, simply always allocate a stack frame;
the routine is not performance critical.

Change how we setup registers for ret_from_kernel_thread. In
ABIv1, instead of passing a function descriptor in, dereference
it and pass the target in directly.
Use ppc_global_function_entry to get it right on both ABIv1 and ABIv2.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
The MMU hashtable and SLB branch patching code uses function
pointers for the update sites. This creates a difference between
ABIv1 and ABIv2 because we don't have function descriptors on
ABIv2.
Get rid of the function pointer and just point at the update
sites directly. This works on both ABIs.

To establish addressability quickly, ABIv2 requires the target
address of the function being called to be in r12. Fix a number of
places in assembly code that we do indirect function calls.
We need to avoid function descriptors on ABIv2 too.

ABIv2 doesn't have function descriptors or dot symbols. One
new thing it does add is a function global and a local entry
point, so add that to our _GLOBAL macro.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
There are a few places we have to use dot symbols with the
current ABI - the syscall table and the kvm hcall table.
Wrap both of these with a new macro called DOTSYM so it will
be easy to transition away from dot symbols in a future ABI.

STD_EXCEPTION_COMMON, STD_EXCEPTION_COMMON_ASYNC and
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION branch to the handler, so we can remove
the explicit dot symbol and binutils will do the right thing.

There is no need to create a function descriptor for the system call
table. By using one we force the system call table into the text
section and it really belongs in the rodata section.
This also removes another use of dot symbols.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
We have a number of places where we load the text address of a local
function and indirectly branch to it in assembly. Since it is an
indirect branch binutils will not know to use the function text
address, so that trick wont work.
There is no need for these functions to have a function descriptor
so we can replace it with a label and remove the dot symbol.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.
Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes
wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375
session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL);
The error message:
"Not enough memory for reading per file header"
is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very
helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by
"Perf session creation failed"
I believe this issue has been brought to lkml:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458
although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue.
Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in
tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write.
Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it.
This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to
the caller.

Every event in the perf-kvm has a 'stats' structure, which contains
max/min/average/etc times of handling this event.
The problem is that the 'perf-kvm stat report' command always shows
that 'min time' is 0us for every event. Example:
# perf kvm stat report
Analyze events for all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
[..]
0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% )
0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 0us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% )
0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 0us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% )
0xB2 STSI 7 0.04% 0.00% 0us 44us 16.49us ( +- 38.20% )
[..]
This happens because the 'stats' structure is not initialized and
stats->min equals to 0. Lets initialize the structure for every
event after its allocation using init_stats() function. This initializes
stats->min to -1 and makes 'Min time' statistics counting work:
# perf kvm stat report
Analyze events for all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
[..]
0xB2 MSCH 12 0.07% 0.00% 6us 8us 7.31us ( +- 2.11% )
0xB2 CHSC 12 0.07% 0.00% 7us 18us 9.39us ( +- 9.49% )
0xB2 STPX 8 0.05% 0.00% 1us 2us 1.88us ( +- 7.18% )
