mm: rename GENERIC_PTDUMP and PTDUMP_CORE

Platforms subscribe into generic ptdump implementation via GENERIC_PTDUMP.
But generic ptdump gets enabled via PTDUMP_CORE. These configs
combination is confusing as they sound very similar and does not
differentiate between platform's feature subscription and feature
enablement for ptdump. Rename the configs as ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP and PTDUMP
making it more clear and improve readability.

Commit 0ab97169aa05 ("crash_core: add generic function to do reservation")
added a generic function to reserve crashkernel memory. So let's use the
same function on powerpc and remove the architecture-specific code that
essentially does the same thing.

The generic crashkernel reservation also provides a way to split the
crashkernel reservation into high and low memory reservations, which can
be enabled for powerpc in the future.

Along with moving to the generic crashkernel reservation, the code related
to finding the base address for the crashkernel has been separated into
its own function name get_crash_base() for better readability and
maintainability.

Since Powerpc doesn't use the generic entry/exit, add lazy check at exit
to user. CONFIG_PREEMPTION is defined for lazy/full/rt so use it for
return to kernel.

Ran a few benchmarks and db workload on Power10. Performance is close to
preempt=none/voluntary.

Since Powerpc systems can have large core count and large memory,
preempt lazy is going to be helpful in avoiding soft lockup issues.

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS

Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS similar to the arm64
implementation.

ftrace direct calls allow custom trampolines to be called into directly
from function ftrace call sites, bypassing the ftrace trampoline
completely. This functionality is currently utilized by BPF trampolines
to hook into kernel function entries.

Since we have limited relative branch range, we support ftrace direct
calls through support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS. In this
approach, ftrace trampoline is not entirely bypassed. Rather, it is
re-purposed into a stub that reads direct_call field from the associated
ftrace_ops structure and branches into that, if it is not NULL. For
this, it is sufficient if we can ensure that the ftrace trampoline is
reachable from all traceable functions.

When multiple ftrace_ops are associated with a call site, we utilize a
call back to set pt_regs->orig_gpr3 that can then be tested on the
return path from the ftrace trampoline to branch into the direct caller.

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS

Implement support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS similar to the
arm64 implementation.

This works by patching-in a pointer to an associated ftrace_ops
structure before each traceable function. If multiple ftrace_ops are
associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_list_ops is used to
enable iterating over all the registered ftrace_ops. If no ftrace_ops
are associated with a call site, then a special ftrace_nop_ops structure
is used to render the ftrace call as a no-op. ftrace trampoline can then
read the associated ftrace_ops for a call site by loading from an offset
from the LR, and branch directly to the associated function.

The primary advantage with this approach is that we don't have to
iterate over all the registered ftrace_ops for call sites that have a
single ftrace_ops registered. This is the equivalent of implementing
support for dynamic ftrace trampolines, which set up a special ftrace
trampoline for each registered ftrace_ops and have individual call sites
branch into those directly.

A secondary advantage is that this gives us a way to add support for
direct ftrace callers without having to resort to using stubs. The
address of the direct call trampoline can be loaded from the ftrace_ops
structure.

To support this, we reserve a nop before each function on 32-bit
powerpc. For 64-bit powerpc, two nops are reserved before each
out-of-line stub. During ftrace activation, we update this location with
the associated ftrace_ops pointer. Then, on ftrace entry, we load from
this location and call into ftrace_ops->func().

For 64-bit powerpc, we ensure that the out-of-line stub area is
doubleword aligned so that ftrace_ops address can be updated atomically.

powerpc64/ftrace: Support .text larger than 32MB with out-of-line stubs

We are restricted to a .text size of ~32MB when using out-of-line
function profile sequence. Allow this to be extended up to the previous
limit of ~64MB by reserving space in the middle of .text.

A new config option CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE is
introduced to specify the number of function stubs that are reserved in
.text. On boot, ftrace utilizes stubs from this area first before using
the stub area at the end of .text.

A ppc64le defconfig has ~44k functions that can be traced. A more
conservative value of 32k functions is chosen as the default value of
PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE so that we do not allot more space
than necessary by default. If building a kernel that only has 32k
trace-able functions, we won't allot any more space at the end of .text
during the pass on vmlinux.o. Otherwise, only the remaining functions
get space for stubs at the end of .text. This default value should help
cover a .text size of ~48MB in total (including space reserved at the
end of .text which can cover up to 32MB), which should be sufficient for
most common builds. For a very small kernel build, this can be set to 0.
Or, this can be bumped up to a larger value to support vmlinux .text
size up to ~64MB.

powerpc64/ftrace: Move ftrace sequence out of line

Function profile sequence on powerpc includes two instructions at the
beginning of each function:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller

The call to ftrace_caller() gets nop'ed out during kernel boot and is
patched in when ftrace is enabled.

Given the sequence, we cannot return from ftrace_caller with 'blr' as we
need to keep LR and r0 intact. This results in link stack (return
address predictor) imbalance when ftrace is enabled. To address that, we
would like to use a three instruction sequence:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller
mtlr r0

Further more, to support DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS, we need to
reserve two instruction slots before the function. This results in a
total of five instruction slots to be reserved for ftrace use on each
function that is traced.

Move the function profile sequence out-of-line to minimize its impact.
To do this, we reserve a single nop at function entry using
-fpatchable-function-entry=1 and add a pass on vmlinux.o to determine
the total number of functions that can be traced. This is then used to
generate a .S file reserving the appropriate amount of space for use as
ftrace stubs, which is built and linked into vmlinux.

On bootup, the stub space is split into separate stubs per function and
populated with the proper instruction sequence. A pointer to the
associated stub is maintained in dyn_arch_ftrace.

For modules, space for ftrace stubs is reserved from the generic module
stub space.

This is restricted to and enabled by default only on 64-bit powerpc,
though there are some changes to accommodate 32-bit powerpc. This is
done so that 32-bit powerpc could choose to opt into this based on
further tests and benchmarks.

As an example, after this patch, kernel functions will have a single nop
at function entry:
<kernel_clone>:
addis r2,r12,467
addi r2,r2,-16028
nop
mfocrf r11,8
...

When ftrace is enabled, the nop is converted to an unconditional branch
to the stub associated with that function:
<kernel_clone>:
addis r2,r12,467
addi r2,r2,-16028
b ftrace_ool_stub_text_end+0x11b28
mfocrf r11,8
...

The associated stub:
<ftrace_ool_stub_text_end+0x11b28>:
mflr r0
bl ftrace_caller
mtlr r0
b kernel_clone+0xc
...

This change showed an improvement of ~10% in null_syscall benchmark on a
Power 10 system with ftrace enabled.

powerpc: Fix stack protector Kconfig test for clang

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/vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation on VDSO32

To be consistent with other VDSO functions, the function is called
__kernel_getrandom()

__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() fonction is implemented basically
with 32 bits operations. It performs 4 QUARTERROUND operations in
parallele. There are enough registers to avoid using the stack:

On input:
r3: output bytes
r4: 32-byte key input
r5: 8-byte counter input/output
r6: number of 64-byte blocks to write to output

During operation:
stack: pointer to counter (r5) and non-volatile registers (r14-131)
r0: counter of blocks (initialised with r6)
r4: Value '4' after key has been read, used for indexing
r5-r12: key
r14-r15: block counter
r16-r31: chacha state

At the end:
r0, r6-r12: Zeroised
r5, r14-r31: Restored

Performance on powerpc 885 (using kernel selftest):
~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
vdso: 25000000 times in 62.938002291 seconds
libc: 25000000 times in 535.581916866 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 531.525042806 seconds

Performance on powerpc 8321 (using kernel selftest):
~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
vdso: 25000000 times in 16.899318858 seconds
libc: 25000000 times in 131.050596522 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 129.794790389 seconds

This first patch adds support for VDSO32. As selftests cannot easily
be generated only for VDSO32, and because the following patch brings
support for VDSO64 anyway, this patch opts out all code in
__arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack() so that vdso_test_chacha will not
fail to compile and will not crash on PPC64/PPC64LE, allthough the
selftest itself will fail.

powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc

powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc

This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc.

Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates
it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based
function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe
to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing
kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in
arch_rethook_fixup_return().

Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")

Note:
=====

In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/

We will adapt the above implementation for powerpc once its upstream.
Until then, we can have this implementation of rethook to serve
current kretprobe usecases.

dma-mapping: clearly mark DMA ops as an architecture feature

DMA ops are a helper for architectures and not for drivers to override
the DMA implementation.

Unfortunately driver authors keep ignoring this. Make the fact more
clear by renaming the symbol to ARCH_HAS_DMA_OPS and having the two drivers
overriding their dma_ops depend on that. These drivers should probably be
marked broken, but we can give them a bit of a grace period for that.

powerpc/32s: Reduce default size of module/execmem area

book3s/32 platforms have usually more memory than 8xx, but it is still
not worth reserving a full segment (256 Mbytes) for module text.
64Mbytes should be far enough.

Also fix TASK_SIZE when EXECMEM is not selected, and add a build
verification for overlap of module execmem space with user segments.
