      powerpc: Use lwsync for acquire barrier if CPU supports it · 5a0e9b57
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.

Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.

This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.

      powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ · 2a929436
      由 Mark Nelson 提交于 
      Add a new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, to be added to the
64bit powerpc chips that benefit from having dcbt and dcbz
instructions used in their memory copy routines.

This will be used in a subsequent patch that updates copy_4K_page().
The new bit is added to Cell, PPC970 and Power4 because they show
better performance with the new copy_4K_page() when dcbt and dcbz
instructions are used.

      powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT · 0f473314
      由 Nathan Lynch 提交于 
      Background from Maynard Johnson:
As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be
supported on all future POWER processors.  The main impetus for this
compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from
processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's
running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor
P(n+1).  If a performance tool determines it does not support the
physical processor, but is told (via the
PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports
the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can
surface just those events to the user of the tool.

PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at
least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER
processor lines.

      powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime · 2d1b2027
      由 Kumar Gala 提交于 
      To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.

We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.

Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

      [POWERPC] Avoid unpaired stwcx. on some processors · b64f87c1
      由 Becky Bruce 提交于 
      The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture.  However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B.  To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.

This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected.  Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in
arch/powerpc; build tested in arch/ppc.

      [POWERPC] Add 1TB workaround for PA6T · f66bce5e
      由 Olof Johansson 提交于 
      PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit.  As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.

We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID.  I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry.  So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.

      [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments · 1189be65
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.

      [POWERPC] Fix performance monitor on machines with logical PVR · 87a72f9e
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Some IBM machines supply a "logical" PVR (processor version register)
value in the device tree in the cpu nodes rather than the real PVR.
This is used for instance to indicate that the processors in a POWER6
partition have been configured by the hypervisor to run in POWER5+
mode rather than POWER6 mode.  To cope with this, we call identify_cpu
a second time with the logical PVR value (the first call is with the
real PVR value in the very early setup code).

However, POWER5+ machines can also supply a logical PVR value, and use
the same value (the value that indicates a v2.04 architecture
compliant processor).  This causes problems for code that uses the
performance monitor (such as oprofile), because the PMU registers are
different in POWER6 (even in POWER5+ mode) from the real POWER5+.

This change works around this problem by taking out the PMU
information from the cputable entries for the logical PVR values, and
changing identify_cpu so that the second call to it won't overwrite
the PMU information that was established by the first call (the one
with the real PVR), but does update the other fields.  Specifically,
if the cputable entry for the logical PVR value has num_pmcs == 0,
none of the PMU-related fields get used.

So that we can create a mixed cputable entry, we now make cur_cpu_spec
point to a single static struct cpu_spec, and copy stuff from
cpu_specs[i] into it.  This has the side-effect that we can now make
cpu_specs[] be initdata.

Ultimately it would be good to move the PMU-related fields out to a
separate structure, pointed to by the cputable entries, and change
identify_cpu so that it saves the PMU info pointer, copies the whole
structure, and restores the PMU info pointer, rather than identify_cpu
having to list all the fields that are *not* PMU-related.

      [POWERPC] Merge CPU features pertaining to icache coherency · 4508dc21
      由 David Gibson 提交于 
      Currently the powerpc kernel has a 64-bit only feature,
COHERENT_ICACHE used for those CPUS which maintain icache/dcache
coherency in hardware (POWER5, essentially).  It also has a feature,
SPLIT_ID_CACHE, which is used on CPUs which have separate i and
d-caches, which is to say everything except 601 and Freescale E200.

In nearly all the places we check the SPLIT_ID_CACHE, what we actually
care about is whether the i and d-caches are coherent (which they will
be, trivially, if they're the same cache).

This tries to clarify the situation a little.  The COHERENT_ICACHE
feature becomes availble on 32-bit and is set for all CPUs where i and
d-cache are effectively coherent, whether this is due to special logic
(POWER5) or because they're unified.  We check this, instead of
SPLIT_ID_CACHE nearly everywhere.

The SPLIT_ID_CACHE feature itself is replaced by a UNIFIED_ID_CACHE
feature with reversed sense, set only on 601 and Freescale E200.  In
the two places (one Freescale BookE specific) where we really care
whether it's a unified cache, not whether they're coherent, we check
this feature.  The CPUs with unified cache are so few, we could
consider replacing this feature bit with explicit checks against the
PVR.

This will make unifying the 32-bit and 64-bit cache flush code a
little more straightforward.

      [POWERPC] Add support for FP emulation for the e300c2 core · aa42c69c
      由 Kim Phillips 提交于 
      The e300c2 has no FPU.  Its MSR[FP] is grounded to zero.  If an attempt
is made to execute a floating point instruction (including floating-point
load, store, or move instructions), the e300c2 takes a floating-point
unavailable interrupt.

This patch adds support for FP emulation on the e300c2 by declaring a
new CPU_FTR_FP_TAKES_FPUNAVAIL, where FP unavail interrupts are
intercepted and redirected to the ProgramCheck exception path for
correct emulation handling.

(If we run out of CPU_FTR bits we could look to reclaim this bit by adding
support to test the cpu_user_features for PPC_FEATURE_HAS_FPU instead)

It adds a nop to the exception path for 32-bit processors with a FPU.
