powerpc: Limit ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT to PPC64

When building a 32-bit kernel, some toolchains do not allow mixing soft
float and hard float object files:

LD vmlinux.o
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-musl-ld: lib/test_fpu_impl.o uses hard float, arch/powerpc/kernel/udbg.o uses soft float
powerpc64le-unknown-linux-musl-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file lib/test_fpu_impl.o
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o:62: vmlinux.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1152: vmlinux_o] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2

This is not an issue when building a 64-bit kernel. To unbreak the
build, limit ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT to 64-bit kernels. This is okay
because the only real user of this option, amdgpu, was previously
limited to PPC64 anyway; see commit a28e4b672f04 ("drm/amd/display: use
ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT").

powerpc/crash: add crash CPU hotplug support

Due to CPU/Memory hotplug or online/offline events, the elfcorehdr

(Flattened Device

powerpc/crash: add crash CPU hotplug support

Due to CPU/Memory hotplug or online/offline events, the elfcorehdr
(which describes the CPUs and memory of the crashed kernel) and FDT
(Flattened Device Tree) of kdump image becomes outdated. Consequently,
attempting dump collection with an outdated elfcorehdr or FDT can lead
to failed or inaccurate dump collection.

Going forward, CPU hotplug or online/offline events are referred as
CPU/Memory add/remove events.

The current solution to address the above issue involves monitoring the
CPU/Memory add/remove events in userspace using udev rules and whenever
there are changes in CPU and memory resources, the entire kdump image
is loaded again. The kdump image includes kernel, initrd, elfcorehdr,
FDT, purgatory. Given that only elfcorehdr and FDT get outdated due to
CPU/Memory add/remove events, reloading the entire kdump image is
inefficient. More importantly, kdump remains inactive for a substantial
amount of time until the kdump reload completes.

To address the aforementioned issue, commit 247262756121 ("crash: add
generic infrastructure for crash hotplug support") added a generic
infrastructure that allows architectures to selectively update the kdump
image component during CPU or memory add/remove events within the kernel
itself.

In the event of a CPU or memory add/remove events, the generic crash
hotplug event handler, `crash_handle_hotplug_event()`, is triggered. It
then acquires the necessary locks to update the kdump image and invokes
the architecture-specific crash hotplug handler,
`arch_crash_handle_hotplug_event()`, to update the required kdump image
components.

This patch adds crash hotplug handler for PowerPC and enable support to
update the kdump image on CPU add/remove events. Support for memory
add/remove events is added in a subsequent patch with the title
"powerpc: add crash memory hotplug support"

As mentioned earlier, only the elfcorehdr and FDT kdump image components
need to be updated in the event of CPU or memory add/remove events.
However, on PowerPC architecture crash hotplug handler only updates the
FDT to enable crash hotplug support for CPU add/remove events. Here's
why.

The elfcorehdr on PowerPC is built with possible CPUs, and thus, it does
not need an update on CPU add/remove events. On the other hand, the FDT
needs to be updated on CPU add events to include the newly added CPU. If
the FDT is not updated and the kernel crashes on a newly added CPU, the
kdump kernel will fail to boot due to the unavailability of the crashing
CPU in the FDT. During the early boot, it is expected that the boot CPU
must be a part of the FDT; otherwise, the kernel will raise a BUG and
fail to boot. For more information, refer to commit 36ae37e3436b0
("powerpc: Make boot_cpuid common between 32 and 64-bit"). Since it is
okay to have an offline CPU in the kdump FDT, no action is taken in case
of CPU removal.

There are two system calls, `kexec_file_load` and `kexec_load`, used to
load the kdump image. Few changes have been made to ensure kernel can
safely update the FDT of kdump image loaded using both system calls.

For kexec_file_load syscall the kdump image is prepared in kernel. So to
support an increasing number of CPUs, the FDT is constructed with extra
buffer space to ensure it can accommodate a possible number of CPU
nodes. Additionally, a call to fdt_pack (which trims the unused space
once the FDT is prepared) is avoided if this feature is enabled.

For the kexec_load syscall, the FDT is updated only if the
KEXEC_CRASH_HOTPLUG_SUPPORT kexec flag is passed to the kernel by
userspace (kexec tools). When userspace passes this flag to the kernel,
it indicates that the FDT is built to accommodate possible CPUs, and the
FDT segment is excluded from SHA calculation, making it safe to update.

The changes related to this feature are kept under the CRASH_HOTPLUG
config, and it is enabled by default.

crash: remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP

In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's
old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed
to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code
of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures.

Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump
needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in
kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current
kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function
setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed
value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP
really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP.

To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion,
rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend
on CRASH_DUMP.

kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.c

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.

Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.

https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/

The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:

Firstly,

CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;

Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.

So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.

Secondly,

It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.

Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.

--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------

Thirdly,

It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.

That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------

In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.

------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU

config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------

Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;

Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):

PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO

|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE

---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG


KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|

Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:

(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features

(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------

(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------

Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.


This patch (of 14):

Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.

And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.

And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

powerpc/64s: Increase default stack size to 32KB

There are reports of kernels crashing due to stack overflow while
running OpenShift (Kubernetes). The primary contributor to the stack
usage seems to be openvswitch, which is used by OVN-Kubernetes (based on
OVN (Open Virtual Network)), but NFS also contributes in some stack
traces.

There may be some opportunities to reduce stack usage in the openvswitch
code, but doing so potentially require tradeoffs vs performance, and
also requires testing across architectures.

Looking at stack usage across the kernel (using -fstack-usage), shows
that ppc64le stack frames are on average 50-100% larger than the
equivalent function built for x86-64. Which is not surprising given the
minimum stack frame size is 32 bytes on ppc64le vs 16 bytes on x86-64.

So increase the default stack size to 32KB for the modern 64-bit Book3S
platforms, ie. pseries (virtualised) and powernv (bare metal). That
leaves the older systems like G5s, and the AmigaOne (pasemi) with a 16KB
stack which should be sufficient on those machines.

kexec: fix KEXEC_FILE dependencies

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:

x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'

Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already. On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.

Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available. This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.

On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance. Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

powerpc: Fix build issue with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY

We recently added support for -fpatchable-function-entry and it is
enabled by default on ppc32 (ppc64 needs gcc v13.1.0). When building the
kernel for ppc32 and also enabling CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
we see the below build error with older gcc versions:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o(__patchable_function_entries): error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections

This error is thrown since __patchable_function_entries section would be
garbage collected with --gc-sections since it does not reference any
other kept sections. This has subsequently been fixed with:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7d072167715829eed0622616f6ae0182900de3e

Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for gcc versions before v11.1.0 if
using -fpatchable-function-entry to avoid this bug.

powerpc/book3s64/memhotplug: enable memmap on memory for radix

Radix vmemmap mapping can map things correctly at the PMD level or PTE
level based on different device boundary checks. Hence we skip the
restrictions w.r.t vmemmap size to be multiple of PMD_SIZE. This also
makes the feature widely useful because to use PMD_SIZE vmemmap area we
require a memory block size of 2GiB

We can also use MHP_RESERVE_PAGES_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY to that the feature can
work with a memory block size of 256MB. Using altmap.reserve feature to
align things correctly at pageblock granularity. We can end up losing
some pages in memory with this. For ex: with a 256MiB memory block size,
we require 4 pages to map vmemmap pages, In order to align things
correctly we end up adding a reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096
pages 28 pages get reserved.

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -fpatchable-function-entry

GCC v13.1 updated support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le to
emit nops after the local entry point, rather than before it. This
allows us to use this in the kernel for ftrace purposes. A new script is
added under arch/powerpc/tools/ to help detect if nops are emitted after
the function local entry point, or before the global entry point.

With -fpatchable-function-entry, we no longer have the profiling
instructions generated at function entry, so we only need to validate
the presence of two nops at the ftrace location in ftrace_init_nop(). We
patch the preceding instruction with 'mflr r0' to match the
-mprofile-kernel ABI for subsequent ftrace use.

This changes the profiling instructions used on ppc32. The default -pg
option emits an additional 'stw' instruction after 'mflr r0' and before
the branch to _mcount 'bl _mcount'. This is very similar to the original
-mprofile-kernel implementation on ppc64le, where an additional 'std'
instruction was used to save LR to its save location in the caller's
stackframe. Subsequently, this additional store was removed in later
compiler versions for performance reasons. The same reasons apply for
ppc32 so we only patch in a 'mflr r0'.
