powerpc/64s: Handle program checks in wrong endian during early boot
There's a short window during boot where although the kernel is running little endian, any exceptions will cause the CPU to switch back to big endian. This situation persists until we call configure_exceptions(), which calls either the hypervisor or OPAL to configure the CPU so that exceptions will be taken in little endian (via HID0[HILE]). We don't intend to take exceptions during early boot, but one way we sometimes do is via a WARN/BUG etc. Those all boil down to a trap instruction, which will cause a program check exception. The first instruction of the program check handler is an mtsprg, which when executed in the wrong endian is an lhzu with a ~3GB displacement from r3. The content of r3 is random, so that becomes a load from some random location, and depending on the system (installed RAM etc.) can easily lead to a checkstop, or an infinitely recursive page fault. That prevents whatever the WARN/BUG was complaining about being printed to the console, and the user just sees a dead system. We can fix it by having a trampoline at the beginning of the program check handler that detects we are in the wrong endian, and flips us back to the correct endian. We can't flip MSR[LE] using mtmsr (alas), so we have to use rfid. That requires backing up SRR0/1 as well as a GPR. To do that we use SPRG0/2/3 (SPRG1 is already used for the paca). SPRG3 is user readable, but this trampoline is only active very early in boot, and SPRG3 will be reinitialised in vdso_getcpu_init() before userspace starts. With this trampoline in place we can survive a WARN early in boot and print a stack trace, which is eventually printed to the console once the console is up, eg: [83565.758545] kexec_core: Starting new kernel [ 0.000000] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.000000] static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xc000000000ea6160' used before call to jump_label_init() [ 0.000000] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/jump_label.c:166 static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120 [ 0.000000] Modules linked in: [ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.10.0-gcc-8.2.0-dirty #618 [ 0.000000] NIP: c0000000002fd46c LR: c0000000002fd468 CTR: c000000000170660 [ 0.000000] REGS: c000000001227940 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (5.10.0-gcc-8.2.0-dirty) [ 0.000000] MSR: 9000000002823003 <SF,HV,VEC,VSX,FP,ME,RI,LE> CR: 24882422 XER: 20040000 [ 0.000000] CFAR: 0000000000000730 IRQMASK: 1 [ 0.000000] GPR00: c0000000002fd468 c000000001227bd0 c000000001228300 0000000000000065 [ 0.000000] GPR04: 0000000000000001 0000000000000065 c0000000010cf970 000000000000000d [ 0.000000] GPR08: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c00000000122763f [ 0.000000] GPR12: 0000000000002000 c000000000f8a980 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 0.000000] GPR16: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c000000000f88c8e c000000000f88c9a [ 0.000000] GPR20: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 0.000000] GPR24: 0000000000000000 c000000000dea3a8 0000000000000000 c000000000f35114 [ 0.000000] GPR28: 0000002800000000 c000000000f88c9a c000000000f88c8e c000000000ea6160 [ 0.000000] NIP [c0000000002fd46c] static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120 [ 0.000000] LR [c0000000002fd468] static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [c000000001227bd0] [c0000000002fd468] static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120 (unreliable) [ 0.000000] [c000000001227c40] [c0000000002fd4c0] static_key_enable+0x30/0x50 [ 0.000000] [c000000001227c70] [c000000000f6629c] early_page_poison_param+0x58/0x9c [ 0.000000] [c000000001227cb0] [c000000000f351b8] do_early_param+0xa4/0x10c [ 0.000000] [c000000001227d30] [c00000000011e020] parse_args+0x270/0x5e0 [ 0.000000] [c000000001227e20] [c000000000f35864] parse_early_options+0x48/0x5c [ 0.000000] [c000000001227e40] [c000000000f358d0] parse_early_param+0x58/0x84 [ 0.000000] [c000000001227e70] [c000000000f3a368] early_init_devtree+0xc4/0x490 [ 0.000000] [c000000001227f10] [c000000000f3bca0] early_setup+0xc8/0x1c8 [ 0.000000] [c000000001227f90] [000000000000c320] 0xc320 [ 0.000000] Instruction dump: [ 0.000000] 4bfffddd 7c2004ac 39200001 913f0000 4bffffb8 7c651b78 3c82ffac 3c62ffc0 [ 0.000000] 38841b00 3863f310 4bdf03a5 60000000 <0fe00000> 4bffff38 60000000 60000000 [ 0.000000] random: get_random_bytes called from print_oops_end_marker+0x40/0x80 with crng_init=0 [ 0.000000] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 0.000000] dt-cpu-ftrs: setup for ISA 3000 Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210202130207.1303975-2-mpe@ellerman.id.au
