      powerpc/powernv: Introduce sysfs control for fastsleep workaround behavior · 5703d2f4
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Fastsleep is one of the idle state which cpuidle subsystem currently
      uses on power8 machines. In this state L2 cache is brought down to a
      threshold voltage. Therefore when the core is in fastsleep, the
      communication between L2 and L3 needs to be fenced. But there is a bug
      in the current power8 chips surrounding this fencing.
      
      OPAL provides a workaround which precludes the possibility of hitting
      this bug. But running with this workaround applied causes checkstop
      if any correctable error in L2 cache directory is detected. Hence OPAL
      also provides a way to undo the workaround.
      
      In the existing implementation, workaround is applied by the last thread
      of the core entering fastsleep and undone by the first thread waking up.
      But this has a performance cost. These OPAL calls account for roughly
      4000 cycles everytime the core has to enter or wakeup from fastsleep.
      
      This patch introduces a sysfs attribute (fastsleep_workaround_applyonce)
      to choose the behavior of this workaround.
      
      By default, fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 0. In this case, workaround
      is applied/undone everytime the core enters/exits fastsleep.
      
      fastsleep_workaround_applyonce = 1. In this case the workaround is
      applied once on all the cores and never undone. This can be triggered by
      echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/fastsleep_workaround_applyonce
      
      For simplicity this attribute can be modified only once. Implying, once
      fastsleep_workaround_applyonce is changed to 1, it cannot be reverted
      to the default state.

      powerpc: Fix cpu_online_cores_map to return only online threads mask · e602ffb2
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Currently, cpu_online_cores_map returns a mask, which for every core with
      at least one online thread, has the bit for thread 0 of the core set to 1,
      and the bits for all other threads of the core set to 0. But thread 0 of
      the core itself may not be online always. In such cases, if the returned
      mask is used for IPI, then it'll cause IPIs to be skipped on cores where
      the first thread is offline, because the IPI code refuses to send IPIs to
      offline threads.
      
      Fix this by setting the bit of the first online thread in the core.
      This is done by fixing this in the underlying function
      cpu_thread_mask_to_cores.
      
      The result has the property that for all cores with online threads, there
      is one bit set in the returned map. And further, all bits that are set in
      the returned map correspond to online threads.

      powerpc: Enable sys_kcmp() for CRIU · 7978f76c
      Laurent Dufour 提交于
      The commit 8170a83f ("powerpc: Wireup the kcmp syscall to sys_ni") has
      disabled the kcmp syscall for powerpc.  This has been done due to the use
      of unsigned long parameters which may require a dedicated wrapper to handle
      32bit process on top of 64bit kernel.  However in the kcmp() case, the 2
      unsigned long parameters are currently only used to carry file descriptors
      from user space to the kernel.  Since such a parameter is passed through
      register, and file descriptor doesn't need to get extended, there is,
      today, no need for a wrapper.
      
      In the case there will be a need to pass address in or out of this system
      call, then a wrapper could be required, it will then be to care of it.
      
      As today this is not the case, it is safe to enable kcmp() on powerpc.
      
      Tested (by Laurent) on 64-bit, 32-bit, and 32-bit userspace on 64-bit
      kernel using tools/testing/selftests/kcmp [mpe].
