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.

This patch introduces flush_tlb operation in cpu_spec structure. This will help us to invoke appropriate CPU-side flush tlb routine. This patch adds the foundation to invoke CPU specific flush routine for respective architectures. Currently this patch introduce flush_tlb for p7 and p8.

In __restore_cpu_power8 we determine if we are HV and if not, we return before setting HV only resources. Unfortunately we forgot to restore the link register from r11 before returning. This will happen on boot and with secondary CPUs not coming online. This adds the missing link register restore.

Setup the HFSCR (Hypervisor Facility Status and Control Register) for POWER8 when running HV=1. The HFSCR is the same as the FSCR except it's for hypervisors. It controls the available of various facilities in OS and userspace levels. It also indicates the cause of a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt (although we are not using this here). This patch sets the facilities Linux knows about incase the firmware doesn't. Signed-off-by: NMichael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

We support DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) so we should make sure we set it in the FSCR (Facility Status & Control Register) incase some firmwares don't set it. If we don't set this, we'll take a facility unavailable exception when using the DSCR.

Currently we only set the FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) when HV=1 but this feature is available when HV=0 also. This patch sets FSCR when HV=0. Also, we currently only set the FSCR on the master CPU. This patch also sets the FSCR on secondary CPUs.

This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

In hypervisor mode, the LPCR controls several aspects of guest partitions, including virtual partition memory mode, and also controls whether the hypervisor decrementer interrupts are enabled. This sets up LPCR at boot time so that guest partitions will use a virtual real memory area (VRMA) composed of 16MB large pages, and hypervisor decrementer interrupts are disabled.

This bit indicates that we are operating in hypervisor mode on a CPU compliant to architecture 2.06 or later (currently server only). We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor). Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
