Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented). In commit 8b64a9df ("powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues: - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time). - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions. - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after I made (most of) this patch. :-) It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with SPRG for all exceptions. Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO there.

There are a few things that make the existing hw tablewalk handlers unsuitable for e6500: - Indirect entries go in TLB1 (though the resulting direct entries go in TLB0). - It has threads, but no "tlbsrx." -- so we need a spinlock and a normal "tlbsx". Because we need this lock, hardware tablewalk is mandatory on e6500 unless we want to add spinlock+tlbsx to the normal bolted TLB miss handler. - TLB1 has no HES (nor next-victim hint) so we need software round robin (TODO: integrate this round robin data with hugetlb/KVM) - The existing tablewalk handlers map half of a page table at a time, because IBM hardware has a fixed 1MiB indirect page size. e6500 has variable size indirect entries, with a minimum of 2MiB. So we can't do the half-page indirect mapping, and even if we could it would be less efficient than mapping the full page. - Like on e5500, the linear mapping is bolted, so we don't need the overhead of supporting nested tlb misses. Note that hardware tablewalk does not work in rev1 of e6500. We do not expect to support e6500 rev1 in mainline Linux.

This patch introduces exclusive emergency stack for machine check exception. We use emergency stack to handle machine check exception so that we can save MCE information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) before turning on ME bit and be ready for re-entrancy. This helps us to prevent clobbering of MCE information in case of nested machine checks. The reason for using emergency stack over normal kernel stack is that the machine check might occur in the middle of setting up a stack frame which may result into improper use of kernel stack.

When we have MMU on exceptions (POWER8) and a relocatable kernel, we need to branch from the initial exception vectors at 0x0 to up high where the kernel might be located. Currently we do this using the link register. Unfortunately this corrupts the link stack and instead we should use the count register. We did this for the syscall entry path in: 6a404806 powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in MMU on syscall entry path but I stupidly forgot to do the same for other exceptions. This patch changes the initial exception vectors to use the count register instead of the link register when we need to branch up to the relocated kernel. I have a dodgy userspace test which loops calling a function that reads the PVR (mfpvr in userspace will be emulated by the kernel via the program check exception). On POWER8 and with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, I get a ~10% performance improvement with my userspace test with this patch.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some issues that this tries to address. We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell interrupts. The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external "edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor. Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal. This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up. The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a "irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt occurred while soft-disabled. When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that field. We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the arch_local_irq_enable case). This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create fake interrupts, among others. In addition, this adds a few refinements: - We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max (on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from performance monitor interrupts. - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve perf sample quality. - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops) - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

This fixes a problem where a CPU thread coming out of nap mode can think it has valid values in the nonvolatile GPRs (r14 - r31) as saved away in power7_idle, but in fact the values have been trashed because the thread was used for KVM in the mean time. The result is that the thread crashes because code that called power7_idle (e.g., pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self()) goes to use values in registers that have been trashed. The bit field in SRR1 that tells whether state was lost only reflects the most recent nap, which may not have been the nap instruction in power7_idle. So we need an extra PACA field to indicate that state has been lost even if SRR1 indicates that the most recent nap didn't lose state. We clear this field when saving the state in power7_idle, we set it to a non-zero value when we use the thread for KVM, and we test it in power7_wakeup_noloss.

This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors, specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode. Using hypervisor mode means that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode. That means that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged registers itself without trapping to the host. This gives excellent performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor architecture other than the one that the hardware implements. This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses. That means that existing Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run under KVM without modification. In order to communicate the PAPR hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code to include/linux/kvm.h. Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only do one or the other. This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present. Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious restriction. With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight to the guest. We will never get data or instruction storage or segment interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from the guest. Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry to those exception handlers. We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage, hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist interrupts, so we have to handle those. In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just a limited amount. Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space. We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it. We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers, so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct. The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have to be in the same partition. MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and exit from the guest. At present we require the host and guest to run in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction. This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA). We require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in order to simplify the low-level memory management. This also means that we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now, since huge pages can't be paged or swapped. This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running, rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu. This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit. On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able to get to them both with one pointer. On 64-bit they are separate fields in the PACA. This means that on 64-bit we don't need to copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all. That does mean that we have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block or get preempted.

On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses. If on top of that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler. While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

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.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and softirq times. This turns out to be quite confusing for users because it means that a program will often be measured as taking less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode) than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly when there are no other partitions running. This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread, regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will generally show greater user and system times when run on a multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor. On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode, we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from user mode. On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR rather than the SPURR. This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log by the time accounting code.

In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus. We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system. The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas, but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any unused pacas.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

This patch has no effect other than re-ordering PACA fields on current server CPUs. It however is a pre-requisite for future support of BookE 64-bit processors. Various parts of the PACA struct are now moved under some ifdef's, either the new CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S or CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64, whatever seems more appropriate.

Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are soft-disabled but hard-enabled). In such a situation the performance monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI handler. This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled, either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt handler to code that had interrupts enabled. We have a per-processor flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts subsequently get re-enabled. This flag is checked in the interrupt return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set, perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
