      powerpc: Fix regression of per-CPU DSCR setting · 1739ea9e
      Sam bobroff 提交于
      Since commit "efcac658 powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)"
      it is no longer possible to set the DSCR on a per-CPU basis.
      
      The old behaviour was to minipulate the DSCR SPR directly but this is no
      longer sufficient: the value is quickly overwritten by context switching.
      
      This patch stores the per-CPU DSCR value in a kernel variable rather than
      directly in the SPR and it is used whenever a process has not set the DSCR
      itself. The sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr) is unchanged.
      
      Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)
      now set all of the per-CPU values and reads return the last written value.
      
      The new per-CPU default is added to the paca_struct and is used everywhere
      outside of sysfs.c instead of the old global default.

      powerpc/powernv: Add support for POWER8 split core on powernv · e2186023
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      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.

      powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Use threads_per_subcore in KVM · 3102f784
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the
      KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On
      systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore ==
      threads_per_core and these changes are a nop.
      
      We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT.
      This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with
      a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current
      threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a
      thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split
      core mode.
      
      Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system,
      the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does
      not change during the life of a KVM VM.

      powerpc: Check cpu_thread_in_subcore() in __cpu_up() · 6f5e40a3
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      To support split core we need to change the check in __cpu_up() that
      determines if a cpu is allowed to come online.
      
      Currently we refuse to online cpus which are not the primary thread
      within their core.
      
      On POWER8 with split core support this check needs to instead refuse to
      online cpus which are not the primary thread within their *sub* core.
      
      On POWER7 and other systems that do not support split core,
      threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and so the check is equivalent.

      powerpc: Add threads_per_subcore · 5853aef1
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      On POWER8 we have a new concept of a subcore. This is what happens when
      you take a regular core and split it. A subcore is a grouping of two or
      four SMT threads, as well as a handfull of SPRs which allows the subcore
      to appear as if it were a core from the point of view of a guest.
      
      Unlike threads_per_core which is fixed at boot, threads_per_subcore can
      change while the system is running. Most code will not want to use
      threads_per_subcore.

      powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Rework the secondary inhibit code · 441c19c8
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      As part of the support for split core on POWER8, we want to be able to
      block splitting of the core while KVM VMs are active.
      
      The logic to do that would be exactly the same as the code we currently
      have for inhibiting onlining of secondaries.
      
      Instead of adding an identical mechanism to block split core, rework the
      secondary inhibit code to be a "HV KVM is active" check. We can then use
      that in both the cpu hotplug code and the upcoming split core code.

      Note that only the sibling threads are stuck, while the primary threads (0, 8,
      16 etc) boot just fine. Looking closer at the previous step of kexec, we observe
      that kexec tries to wakeup (bring online) the sibling threads of all the cores,
      before performing kexec:

      Instrumenting this piece of code revealed that the cpu_up() operation actually
      fails with -EBUSY. Thus, only the primary threads of all the cores are online
      during kexec, and hence this is a sure-shot receipe for disaster, as explained
      in commit e8e5c215 (powerpc/kexec: Fix orphaned offline CPUs across kexec),
      as well as in the comment above wake_offline_cpus().
      
      It turns out that cpu_up() was returning -EBUSY because the variable
      'cpu_hotplug_disabled' was set to 1; and this disabling of CPU hotplug was done
      by migrate_to_reboot_cpu() inside kernel_kexec().
      
      Now, migrate_to_reboot_cpu() was originally written with the assumption that
      any further code will not need to perform CPU hotplug, since we are anyway in
      the reboot path. However, kexec is clearly not such a case, since we depend on
      onlining CPUs, atleast on powerpc.
      
      So re-enable cpu-hotplug after returning from migrate_to_reboot_cpu() in the
      kexec path, to fix this regression in kexec on powerpc.
      
      Also, wrap the cpu_up() in powerpc kexec code within a WARN_ON(), so that we
      can catch such issues more easily in the future.

      	against symbol `interrupt_end_book3e' defined in .text section

      The assembler maintainer says:
      
       I changed the ABI, something that had to be done but unfortunately
       happens to break the booke kernel code.  When building up a 64-bit
       value with lis, ori, shl, oris, ori or similar sequences, you now
       should use @high and @higha in place of @h and @ha.  @h and @ha
       (and their associated relocs R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI and R_PPC64_ADDR16_HA)
       now report overflow if the value is out of 32-bit signed range.
       ie. @h and @ha assume you're building a 32-bit value. This is needed
       to report out-of-range -mcmodel=medium toc pointer offsets in @toc@h
       and @toc@ha expressions, and for consistency I did the same for all
       other @h and @ha relocs.
      
      Replacing @h with @high in one strategic location fixes the relocation
      errors. This has to be done conditionally since the assembler either
      supports @h or @high but not both.
