powerpc/pseries: Set CPU_FTR_DBELL according to ibm,pi-features PAPR will define a new ibm,pi-features bit which says that doorbells should not be used even on architectures where they exist. This could be because they are emulated and slower than using the interrupt controller directly for IPIs. Wire this bit into the pi-features parser to clear CPU_FTR_DBELL, and ensure CPU_FTR_DBELL is not in CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS.

powerpc: Add Power11 architected and raw mode Add CPU table entries for raw and architected mode. Most fields are copied from the Power10 table entries. CPU, MMU and user (ELF_HWCAP) features are unchanged vs P10. However userspace can detect P11 because the AT_PLATFORM value changes to "power11". The logical PVR value of 0x0F000007, passed to firmware via the ibm_arch_vec, indicates the kernel can support a P11 compatible CPU, which means at least ISA v3.1 compliant.

powerpc/dexcr: Add initial Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR) support ISA 3.1B introduces the Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR). It is a per-cpu register that allows control over various CPU behaviours including branch hint usage, indirect branch speculation, and hashst/hashchk support. Add some definitions and basic support for the DEXCR in the kernel. Right now it just * Initialises the DEXCR and HASHKEYR to a fixed value when a CPU onlines. * Clears them in reset_sprs(). * Detects when the NPHIE aspect is supported (the others don't get looked at in this series, so there's no need to waste a CPU_FTR on them). We initialise the HASHKEYR to ensure that all cores have the same key, so an HV enforced NPHIE + swapping cores doesn't randomly crash a process using hash instructions. The stores to HASHKEYR are unconditional because the ISA makes no mention of the SPR being missing if support for doing the hashes isn't present. So all that would happen is the HASHKEYR value gets ignored. This helps slightly if NPHIE detection fails; e.g., we currently only detect it on pseries.

Set the CPU_FTR_DAWR feature bit on these newer systems to start using it again, and update the documentation accordingly. The CPU features for DD2.3 are currently determined by "DD2.2 or later" logic. In adding DD2.3 as a discrete case for the first time here, I'm carrying the quirks of DD2.2 forward to keep all behavior outside of this DAWR change the same.

powerpc/32s: Make support for 603 and 604+ selectable book3s/32 has two main families: - CPU with 603 cores that don't have HASH PTE table and perform SW TLB loading. - Other CPUs based on 604+ cores that have HASH PTE table. This leads to some complex logic and additionnal code to support both. This makes sense for distribution kernels that aim at running on any CPU, but when you are fine tuning a kernel for an embedded 603 based board you don't need all the HASH logic. Allow selection of support for each family, in order to opt out unneeded parts of code. At least one must be selected. Note that some of the CPU supporting HASH also support SW TLB loading, however it is not supported by Linux kernel at the time being, because they do not have alternate registers in the TLB miss exception handlers.

PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software (Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems. We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible if SAO is in use (or worse allowed with silent races). - PROT_SAO stays in the uapi header so code using it would still build. - arch_validate_prot() is removed, the generic version rejects PROT_SAO so applications would get a failure at mmap() time.

powerpc/mm: Remove kvm radix prefetch workaround for Power9 DD2.2 Commit a25bd72badfa ("powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM") introduced a number of workarounds as coming out of a guest with the mmu enabled would make the cpu would start running in hypervisor state with the PID value from the guest. The cpu will then start prefetching for the hypervisor with that PID value. In Power9 DD2.2 the cpu behaviour was modified to fix this. When accessing Quadrant 0 in hypervisor mode with LPID != 0 prefetching will not be performed. This means that we can get rid of the workarounds for Power9 DD2.2 and later revisions. Add a new cpu feature CPU_FTR_P9_RADIX_PREFETCH_BUG to indicate if the workarounds are needed.

powerpc/mm: Fixup tlbie vs mtpidr/mtlpidr ordering issue on POWER9 On POWER9, under some circumstances, a broadcast TLB invalidation will fail to invalidate the ERAT cache on some threads when there are parallel mtpidr/mtlpidr happening on other threads of the same core. This can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped. The workaround is to force an ERAT flush using PID=0 or LPID=0 tlbie flush. This additional TLB flush will cause the ERAT cache invalidation. Since we are using PID=0 or LPID=0, we don't get filtered out by the TLB snoop filtering logic. We need to still follow this up with another tlbie to take care of store vs tlbie ordering issue explained in commit: a5d4b5891c2f ("powerpc/mm: Fixup tlbie vs store ordering issue on POWER9").

powerpc/64s: Fix CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS vs DT CPU features The cpu_has_feature() mechanism has an optimisation where at build time we construct a mask of the CPU feature bits that will always be true for the given .config, based on the platform/bitness/etc. that we are building for. That is incompatible with DT CPU features, where the set of CPU features is dependent on feature flags that are given to us by firmware. The result is that some feature bits can not be *disabled* by DT CPU features. Or more accurately, they can be disabled but they will still appear in the ALWAYS mask, meaning cpu_has_feature() will always return true for them. In the past this hasn't really been a problem because on Book3S 64 (where we support DT CPU features), the set of ALWAYS bits has been very small. That was because we always built for POWER4 and later, meaning the set of common bits was small. The only bit that could be cleared by DT CPU features that was also in the ALWAYS mask was CPU_FTR_NODSISRALIGN, and that was only used in the alignment handler to create a fake DSISR. That code was itself deleted in 31bfdb036f12 ("powerpc: Use instruction emulation infrastructure to handle alignment faults") (Sep 2017). However the set of ALWAYS features changed with the recent commit db5ae1c155af ("powerpc/64s: Refine feature sets for little endian builds") which restricted the set of feature flags when building little endian to Power7 or later. That caused the ALWAYS mask to become much larger for little endian builds. The result is that the following feature bits can currently not be *disabled* by DT CPU features: CPU_FTR_REAL_LE, CPU_FTR_MMCRA, CPU_FTR_CTRL, CPU_FTR_SMT, CPU_FTR_PURR, CPU_FTR_SPURR, CPU_FTR_DSCR, CPU_FTR_PKEY, CPU_FTR_VMX_COPY, CPU_FTR_CFAR, CPU_FTR_HAS_PPR. To fix it we need to mask the set of ALWAYS features with the base set of DT CPU features, ie. the features that are always enabled by DT CPU features. That way there are no bits in the ALWAYS mask that are not also always set by DT CPU features.

The hardware assistance for these workarounds introduced a new hardware bug relating to the XER[SO] bit. We add a separate feature bit for this bug in case future chips fix it while still requiring the hypervisor assistance with suspend state. When the dt_cpu_ftrs subsystem is in use, the software assistance can be enabled using a "tm-suspend-hypervisor-assist" node in the device tree, and a "tm-suspend-xer-so-bug" node enables the workarounds for the XER[SO] bug.

The features that are common to 32-bit and 64-bit machines are moved to bits 0-11 of the CPU feature word. This means that for 64-bit platforms, bits 44-63 can now be used for new features that only exist on 64-bit machines. (These bit numbers are counting from the right, i.e. the LSB is bit 0.) Because CPU_FTR_L3_DISABLE_NAP moved from the low 16 bits to the high 16 bits, we have to adjust some assembly code. Also, CPU_FTR_EMB_HV moved from the high 16 bits to the low 16 bits. Note that CPU_FTR_REAL_LE only applies to 64-bit chips, because only 64-bit chips (POWER6, 7, 8, 9) have a true little-endian mode that is a CPU execution mode as opposed to being a page attribute.

powerpc: Enable pkey subsystem PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero. However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the platform supported disable-execution-access. Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet. Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by consulting the PowerISA3.0 This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform. Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution access support for pkeys. Signed-off-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> [mpe: Use a PVR check instead of CPU_FTR for execute.

powerpc/64s: Improve local TLB flush for boot and MCE on POWER9 There are several cases outside the normal address space management where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed: 1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in the TLB (e.g., kexec). 2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries. One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost). This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B: - The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host) and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if the R field does not match the current radix mode. - ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as well. - ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations, partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache. So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment. Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest. Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks, and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set up and before relocation is first turned on. The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states. This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.

powerpc/64s: Fix Power9 DD2.0 workarounds by adding DD2.1 feature Recently we added a CPU feature for Power9 DD2.0, to capture the fact that some workarounds are required only on Power9 DD1 and DD2.0 but not DD2.1 or later. Then in commit 9d2f510a66ec ("powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 ERAT workaround on DD2.1") and commit e3646330cf66 "powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 PMU workaround on DD2.1") we changed CPU_FTR_SECTIONs to check for DD1 or DD20, eg: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION PPC_INVALIDATE_ERAT END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD1 | CPU_FTR_POWER9_DD20) Unfortunately although this reads as "if set DD1 or DD2.0", the or is a bitwise or and actually generates a mask of both bits. The code that does the feature patching then checks that the value of the CPU features masked with that mask are equal to the mask. So the end result is we're checking for DD1 and DD20 being set, which never happens. Yes the API is terrible. Removing the ERAT workaround on DD2.0 results in random SEGVs, the system tends to boot, but things randomly die including sometimes dhclient, udev etc. To fix the problem and hopefully avoid it in future, we remove the DD2.0 CPU feature and instead add a DD2.1 (or later) feature. This allows us to easily express that the workarounds are required if DD2.1 is not set. At some point we will drop the DD1 workarounds entirely and some of this can be cleaned up. Fixes: 9d2f510a66ec ("powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 ERAT workaround on DD2.1") Fixes: e3646330cf66 ("powerpc/64s/idle: avoid POWER9 DD1 and DD2.0 PMU workaround on DD2.1") Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

powerpc/64: Reclaim CPU_FTR_SUBCORE We are running low on CPU feature bits, so we only want to use them when it's really necessary. CPU_FTR_SUBCORE is only used in one place, and only in C, so we don't need it in order to make asm patching work. It can only be set on "Power8" CPUs, which in practice means POWER8, POWER8E and POWER8NVL. There are no plans to implement it on future CPUs, but if there ever were we could retrofit it then. Although KVM uses subcores, it never looks at the CPU feature, it either looks at the ISA level or the threads_per_subcore value. So drop the CPU feature and do a PVR check instead. Drop the device tree "subcore" feature as we no longer support doing anything with it, and we will drop it from skiboot too. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

powerpc: Add option to use jump label for cpu_has_feature() We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set of CPU features can never change after boot. We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(), meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch. For a C sequence along the lines of: if (cpu_has_feature(FOO)) return 2; The generated code before is roughly: ld r9,-27640(r2) ld r9,0(r9) lwz r9,32(r9) cmpwi cr7,r9,0 bge cr7, 1f li r3,2 blr 1: ...

powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h. Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs reg.h (for MSR_EE).

powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this behaviour to userspace. Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active transaction fails. This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390). Performance measurements using http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

powerpc: Drop support for pre-POWER4 cpus We inadvertently broke power3 support back in 3.4 with commit f5339277eb8d "powerpc: Remove FW_FEATURE ISERIES from arch code". No one noticed until at least 3.9. By then we'd also broken it with the optimised memcpy, copy_to/from_user and clear_user routines. We don't want to add any more complexity to those just to support ancient cpus, so it seems like it's a good time to drop support for power3 and earlier.

powerpc: Disable doorbells on Power8 DD1.x These processors do not currently support doorbell IPIs, so remove them from the feature list if we are at DD 1.xx for the 0x004d part. This fixes a regression caused by d4e58e5928f8 (powerpc/powernv: Enable POWER8 doorbell IPIs). With that patch the kernel would hang at boot when calling smp_call_function_many, as the doorbell would not be received by the target CPUs: .smp_call_function_many+0x2bc/0x3c0 (unreliable) .on_each_cpu_mask+0x30/0x100 .cpuidle_register_driver+0x158/0x1a0 .cpuidle_register+0x2c/0x110 .powernv_processor_idle_init+0x23c/0x2c0 .do_one_initcall+0xd4/0x260 .kernel_init_freeable+0x25c/0x33c .kernel_init+0x1c/0x120 .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x58/0x7c Fixes: d4e58e5928f8 (powerpc/powernv: Enable POWER8 doorbell IPIs) Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc/fsl-booke: Work around erratum A-006958 Erratum A-006598 says that 64-bit mftb is not atomic -- it's subject to a similar race condition as doing mftbu/mftbl on 32-bit. The lower half of timebase is updated before the upper half; thus, we can share the workaround for a similar bug on Cell. This workaround involves looping if the lower half of timebase is zero, thus avoiding the need for a scratch register (other than CR0). This workaround must be avoided when the timebase is frozen, such as during the timebase sync code. This deals with kernel and vdso accesses, but other userspace accesses will of course need to be fixed elsewhere. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

powerpc/hw_breakpoints: Add DABRX cpu feature to fix 32-bit regression When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef0, we broke older 32-bit CPUs that don't have that register. Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are: - No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR. - POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX. - 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX. - POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX. This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this. Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().

powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX. For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster. If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps things relatively simple and easy to verify. On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles. Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector is an L1 miss. Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and stores are aligned. We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit the same cacheline. Based on this, the new loop does the following things: 1 - 127 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty boring and similar to how the current loop works. 128 - 4095 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores, 1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline. Even so it is much better than the loop we have today. 4096 - bytes If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both 16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX. If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads. In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to sleep. The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark: - Best case - userspace never uses VMX - Worst case - userspace always uses VMX In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to win is: 0% VMX aligned 2048 bytes unaligned 2048 bytes 100% VMX aligned 16384 bytes unaligned 8192 bytes Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints. Some future optimisations we can look at: - Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86 optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie: /* * If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full * restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the * chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now */ preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5; and /* * fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches * that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu * saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char * so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns * lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for * a short time */ - We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec. That should help with iovec based system calls like readv. - We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly. - One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.

powerpc, KVM: Split HVMODE_206 cpu feature bit into separate HV and architecture bits This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

powerpc: Save Come-From Address Register (CFAR) in exception frame Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes. This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores it in the exception frame. We also make xmon print the CFAR value in its register dump code. Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3 field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls. This means we don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

powerpc: Add Initiate Coprocessor Store Word (icswx) support Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction. The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction. The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed when the context is destroyed.

We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc/e500mc: Remove CPU_FTR_MAYBE_CAN_NAP/CPU_FTR_MAYBE_CAN_DOZE e500mc does not support the HID0/MSR mechanism that is used by e500_idle (and there are also issues with waking on certain types of interrupts). Further, even if napping is never actually enabled, just having CPU_FTR_CAN_NAP will cause machine_init() to overwrite the board's supplied ppc_md.power_save(). We drop CPU_FTR_MAYBE_CAN_DOZE becuase we should use 'wait' instead on e500mc. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc/book3e: Fix CPU feature handling on 64-bit e5500 The CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS defines did not encompass e5500 CPU features when built for 64-bit. This causes issues with cpu_has_feature() as it utilizes the POSSIBLE & ALWAYS defines as part of its check. Create a unique CPU_FTRS_E5500 (as its different from CPU_FTRS_E500MC), created a new group for 64-bit Book3e based CPUs and add CPU_FTRS_E5500 to that group.

powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructions POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement them as inlines with an out of line fallback. The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large (192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.

powerpc: Feature nop out reservation clear when stcx checks address The POWER architecture does not require stcx to check that it is operating on the same address as the larx. This means it is possible for an an exception handler to execute a larx, get a reservation, decide not to do the stcx and then return back with an active reservation. If the interrupted code was in the middle of a larx/stcx sequence the stcx could incorrectly succeed. All recent POWER CPUs check the address before letting the stcx succeed so we can create a CPU feature and nop it out. As Ben suggested, we can only do this in our syscall path because there is a remote possibility some kernel code gets interrupted by an exception that ends up operating on the same cacheline. Thanks to Paul Mackerras and Derek Williams for the idea. To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c I tested against 2.6.35-git10 with the following changes against the pseries_defconfig: CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n CONFIG_AUDIT=n CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=n CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=9 CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=n CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=n to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting, syscall auditing and the ftrace mcount tracers. 64kB pages were enabled to minimise TLB misses. POWER6: +8.2% POWER7: +7.0% Another suggestion was to use a larx to something in the L1 instead of a stcx. This was almost as fast as removing the larx on POWER6, but only 3.5% faster on POWER7. We can use this to speed up the reservation clear in our exception exit code. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Implement hw_breakpoints for 64-bit server processors Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint. [Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to - emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the per-task breakpoints - perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() ] Signed-off-by: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc: Enable asymmetric SMT scheduling on POWER7 The POWER7 core has dynamic SMT mode switching which is controlled by the hypervisor. There are 3 SMT modes: SMT1 uses thread 0 SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1 SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3 When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same). The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that core (independent of other cores). The opposite is not true, so if threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode. Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go into SMT1 mode. If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads will perform better (since they share less core resources). Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then enables it on POWER7.

powerpc: Use lwsync for acquire barrier if CPU supports it Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing his patches across other ppc64 processors. Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5 and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression. This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync method.
