powerpc/pseries: Fix KVM guest detection for disabling hardlockup detector

As per the kernel documentation[1], hardlockup detector should
be disabled in KVM guests as it may give false positives. On
PPC, hardlockup detector is enabled inside KVM guests because
disable_hardlockup_detector() is marked as early_initcall and it
relies on kvm_guest static key (is_kvm_guest()) which is initialized
later during boot by check_kvm_guest(), which is a core_initcall.
check_kvm_guest() is also called in pSeries_smp_probe(), which is called
before initcalls, but it is skipped if KVM guest does not have doorbell
support or if the guest is launched with SMT=1.

Call check_kvm_guest() in disable_hardlockup_detector() so that
is_kvm_guest() check goes through fine and hardlockup detector can be
disabled inside the KVM guest.

powerpc: Avoid nmi_enter/nmi_exit in real mode interrupt.

nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() touches per cpu variables which can lead to kernel
crash when invoked during real mode interrupt handling (e.g. early HMI/MCE
interrupt handler) if percpu allocation comes from vmalloc area.

Early HMI/MCE handlers are called through DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_NMI()
wrapper which invokes nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls. We don't see any issue when
percpu allocation is from the embedded first chunk. However with
CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK enabled there are chances where percpu
allocation can come from the vmalloc area.

With kernel command line "percpu_alloc=page" we can force percpu allocation
to come from vmalloc area and can see kernel crash in machine_check_early:

[ 1.215714] NIP [c000000000e49eb4] rcu_nmi_enter+0x24/0x110

Fix this by avoiding use of nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() in real mode if percpu
first chunk is not embedded.

powerpc/64: Move paca allocation to early_setup()

The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.

early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.

One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.

Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.

Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.

The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.

powerpc/64: Fix task_cpu in early boot when booting non-zero cpuid

powerpc/64 can boot on a non-zero SMP processor id. Initially, the boot
CPU is said to be "assumed to be 0" until early_init_devtree() discovers
the id from the device tree. That is not a good description because the
assumption can be wrong and that has to be handled, the better
description is that 0 is used as a placeholder, and things are fixed
after the real id is discovered.

smp_processor_id() is set to the boot cpuid, but task_cpu(current) is
not, which causes the smp_processor_id() == task_cpu(current) invariant
to be broken until init_idle() in sched_init().

This is quite fragile and could lead to subtle bugs in future. One bug
is that validate_sp_size uses task_cpu() to get the process stack, so
any stack trace from the booting CPU between early_init_devtree()
and sched_init() will have problems. Early on paca_ptrs[0] will be
poisoned, so that can cause machine checks dereferencing that memory
in real mode. Later, validating the current stack pointer against the
idle task of a different secondary will probably cause no stack trace
to be printed.

Fix this by setting thread_info->cpu right after smp_processor_id() is
set to the boot cpuid.

Ensure r13 is zero from very early in boot until it gets set to the

if there is no valid paca, rather than potentially run off into the
weeds. This preserves register and memory contents for low level

Nothing could be printed to console at this point in any case because
even udbg is only set up after the boot paca is set, so this shouldn't

Branch to an early boot handler that just does a basic crash, which
allows it to run before ppc_md is set up. MSR[ME] is enabled on the boot
CPU earlier, and the machine check stack is temporarily set to the
middle of the init task stack.

This allows machine checks (e.g., due to invalid data access in real

up, if CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG=y).

KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Disable SCV when AIL could be disabled

PR KVM does not support running with AIL enabled, and SCV does is not
supported with AIL disabled. Fix this by ensuring the SCV facility is
disabled with FSCR while a CPU could be running with AIL=0.

The PowerNV host supports disabling AIL on a per-CPU basis, so SCV just
needs to be disabled when a vCPU is being run.

The pSeries machine can only switch AIL on a system-wide basis, so it
must disable SCV support at boot if the configuration can potentially
run a PR KVM guest.

Also ensure a the FSCR[SCV] bit can not be enabled when emulating
mtFSCR for the guest.

SCV is not emulated for the PR guest at the moment, this just fixes the
host crashes.

Alternatives considered and rejected:
- SCV support can not be disabled by PR KVM after boot, because it is
advertised to userspace with HWCAP.
- AIL can not be disabled on a per-CPU basis. At least when running on
pseries it is a per-LPAR setting.
- Support for real-mode SCV vectors will not be added because they are
at 0x17000 so making such a large fixed head space causes immediate
value limits to be exceeded, requiring a lot rework and more code.
- Disabling SCV for any PR KVM possible kernel will cause a slowdown
when not using PR KVM.
- A boot time option to disable SCV to use PR KVM is user-hostile.
- System call instruction emulation for SCV facility unavailable
instructions is too complex and old emulation code was subtly broken
and removed.

powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h

We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc:
Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C
functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse
warnings about missing prototypes.

A few months later Nick added a different use case in
commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the
inverse of our original usage.

Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both
reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all.

Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep
only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly.

For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it
into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o
This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h
or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c

mm: percpu: add generic pcpu_populate_pte() function

With NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK enabled, we need a function to
populate pte, this patch adds a generic pcpu populate pte function,
pcpu_populate_pte(), which is marked __weak and used on most
architectures, but it is overridden on x86, which has its own
implementation.

powerpc/kernel: Add __init attribute to eligible functions

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.
