When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to put the thread into. In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable(). In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that case. Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context. In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for hwthread_req to become zero. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

On PowerNV platforms, when a CPU is offline, we put it into nap mode. It's possible that the CPU wakes up from nap mode while it is still offline due to a stray IPI. A misdirected device interrupt could also potentially cause it to wake up. In that circumstance, we need to clear the interrupt so that the CPU can go back to nap mode. In the past the clearing of the interrupt was accomplished by briefly enabling interrupts and allowing the normal interrupt handling code (do_IRQ() etc.) to handle the interrupt. This has the problem that this code calls irq_enter() and irq_exit(), which call functions such as account_system_vtime() which use RCU internally. Use of RCU is not permitted on offline CPUs and will trigger errors if RCU checking is enabled. To avoid calling into any generic code which might use RCU, we adopt a different method of clearing interrupts on offline CPUs. Since we are on the PowerNV platform, we know that the system interrupt controller is a XICS being driven directly (i.e. not via hcalls) by the kernel. Hence this adds a new icp_native_flush_interrupt() function to the native-mode XICS driver and arranges to call that when an offline CPU is woken from nap. This new function reads the interrupt from the XICS. If it is an IPI, it clears the IPI; if it is a device interrupt, it prints a warning and disables the source. Then it does the end-of-interrupt processing for the interrupt. The other thing that briefly enabling interrupts did was to check and clear the irq_happened flag in this CPU's PACA. Therefore, after flushing the interrupt from the XICS, we also clear all bits except the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS (interrupts are hard disabled) bit from the irq_happened flag. The PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag is set by power7_nap() and is left set to indicate that interrupts are hard disabled. This means we then have to ignore that flag in power7_nap(), which is reasonable since it doesn't indicate that any interrupt event needs servicing.

This patch enables POWER8 doorbell IPIs on powernv. Since doorbells can only IPI within a core, we test to see when we can use doorbells and if not we fall back to XICS. This also enables hypervisor doorbells to wakeup us up from nap/sleep via the LPCR PECEDH bit. Based on tests by Anton, the best case IPI latency between two threads dropped from 894ns to 512ns.

Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to appear as full cores to a guest. The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at length in the comments within the patch. One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure. The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg: $ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2. We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to be run.

To support split core we need to be able to force all secondaries into nap, so the core can detect they are idle and do an unsplit. Currently power7_nap() will return without napping if there is an irq pending. We want to ignore the pending irq and nap anyway, we will deal with the interrupt later.

Up until now we have been setting the runlatch bits for a busy CPU and clearing it when a CPU enters idle state. The runlatch bit has thus been consistent with the utilization of a CPU as long as the CPU is online. However when a CPU is hotplugged out the runlatch bit is not cleared. It needs to be cleared to indicate an unused CPU. Hence this patch has the runlatch bit cleared for an offline CPU just before entering an idle state and sets it immediately after it exits the idle state.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros. There are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set. However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap. Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode when idle, as before.

At present, on the powernv platform, if you off-line a CPU that was online, and then try to on-line it again, the kernel generates a warning message "OPAL Error -1 starting CPU n". Furthermore, if the CPU is a secondary thread that was used by KVM while it was off-line, the CPU fails to come online. The first problem is fixed by only calling OPAL to start the CPU the first time it is on-lined, as indicated by the cpu_start field of its PACA being zero. The second problem is fixed by restoring the cpu_start field to 1 instead of 0 when using the CPU within KVM.

This adds a skeletton for the new Power "Non Virtualized" platform which will be used by machines supporting running without an hypervisor, for example in order to run KVM. These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL for which the support will be provided by later patches. The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of OPAL in various places.
