      powerpc: Streamline ret_from_except_lite for non-iSeries platforms · 01f3880d
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      There is a small passage of code in ret_from_except_lite which is
      only required on iSeries.  For a multi-platform kernel on non-iSeries
      machines this means we end up executing ~15 nops in ret_from_except_lite.
      
      It would be nicer if non-iSeries could skip the code entirely, and on
      iSeries we can jump out of line to execute the code.
      
      I have no performance numbers to justify this, other than the assertion
      that executing 15 nops takes longer than executing 0.

      powerpc: Fix vio_bus_probe oops on probe error · cd5aeb9f
      Brian King 提交于
      When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO
      device's probe function fails, an oops can result since
      vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not.  This fixes it by
      avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement
      CMO.

      powerpc/ibmebus: Restore "name" sysfs attribute on ibmebus devices · 4589f1fe
      Joachim Fenkes 提交于
      Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus
      type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus
      devices previously had is no longer present.  This is a user-visible
      regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA
      userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid
      adapters.
      
      This fixes it by providing the "name" attribute in the generic OF
      device code instead.  Tested on POWER.

      kexec jump · 3ab83521
      Huang Ying 提交于
      This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
      following features:
      
      - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
        kexec.
      
      - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.
      
      The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
      physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
      Linux.
      
      kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
      the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:
      
             source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
             patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
             binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10
      
      Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:
      
      1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
      
      CONFIG_X86_32=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC=y
      CONFIG_PM=y
      CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
      
      2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.
      
      3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"
      
      4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.
      
      5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
         line can be as follow:
      
         /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode
      
      6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:
      
         /sbin/kexec -e
      
      Implementation point:
      
      To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
      page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
      page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
      pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
      swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
      to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
      destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.
      
      C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
      kernel and called code.
      
      A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
      indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.
      
      Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

      kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking · ef53d9c5
      Srinivasa D S 提交于
      Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
      used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
      global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
      only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
      performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
      lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).
      
      Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
      system compared to present kretprobe implementation.
      
      Solution:
      
       1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
          present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
          two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
          lock for kretporbe object.
      
       2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
          instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
          modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
          deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
          lock.
      
       3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
          track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
          table.
      
      Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
      with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.
