Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h), need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work. Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset (usually for a load/store), like: std r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1) Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since it's just calculating an offset.

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead). We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause things to go very wrong later on. This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7 "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers about how the low power state actually works on them.

I blame Mikey for this. He elevated my slightly dubious testcase: to benchmark status. And naturally we need to be number 1 at creating zeros. So lets improve __clear_user some more. As Paul suggests we can use dcbz for large lengths. This patch gets the destination cacheline aligned then uses dcbz on whole cachelines.

At the moment all queues in a multiqueue adapter will serialise against the IOMMU table lock. This is proving to be a big issue, especially with 10Gbit ethernet. This patch creates 4 pools and tries to spread the load across them. If the table is under 1GB in size we revert back to the original behaviour of 1 pool and 1 largealloc pool. We create a hash to map CPUs to pools. Since we prefer interrupts to be affinitised to primary CPUs, without some form of hashing we are very likely to end up using the same pool. As an example, POWER7 has 4 way SMT and with 4 pools all primary threads will map to the same pool. The largealloc pool is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 of the space to partially offset the overhead of breaking the table up into pools. Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test. Performance improved 69% with this patch applied.

We currently hold the IOMMU spinlock around tce_build and tce_flush. This causes our spinlock hold times to be much higher than required and can impact multiqueue adapters.

Implement a POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch instructions. This is a copy of the POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user loop. Detailed implementation and performance details can be found in commit a66086b8 (powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX). I noticed memcpy issues when profiling a RAID6 workload: .memcpy .async_memcpy .async_copy_data .__raid_run_ops .handle_stripe .raid5d .md_thread I created a simplified testcase by building a RAID6 array with 4 1GB ramdisks (booting with brd.rd_size=1048576): # mdadm -CR -e 1.2 /dev/md0 --level=6 -n4 /dev/ram[0-3] I then timed how long it took to write to the entire array: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1M Before: 892 MB/s After: 999 MB/s A 12% improvement.

Version 2.06 of the POWER ISA introduced enhanced touch instructions, allowing us to specify a number of attributes including the length of a stream. This patch adds a software stream for both loads and stores in the POWER7 copy_tofrom_user loop. Since the setup is quite complicated and we have to use an eieio to ensure correct ordering of the "GO" command we only do this for copies above 4kB. To quantify any performance improvements we need a working set bigger than the caches so we operate on a 1GB file: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1024 And we compare how fast we can read the file: # dd if=/tmp/foo of=/dev/null bs=1M before: 7.7 GB/s after: 9.6 GB/s A 25% improvement. The worst case for this patch will be a completely L1 cache contained copy of just over 4kB. We can test this with the copy_to_user testcase we used to tune copy_tofrom_user originally: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c # time ./copy_to_user2 -l 4224 -i 10000000 before: 6.807 s after: 6.946 s A 2% slowdown, which seems reasonable considering our data is unlikely to be completely L1 contained.

1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect call_function.queue and &data->refs, cpu_online_mask is outside of the lock. And it's not necessary to protect cpu_online_mask, because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care of it. 2) For cpu down issue, stop_machine() will guarantee that no concurrent smp_call_fuction() is processing.

I noticed __clear_user high up in a profile of one of my RAID stress tests. The testcase was doing a dd from /dev/zero which ends up calling __clear_user. __clear_user is basically a loop with a single 4 byte store which is horribly slow. We can do much better by aligning the desination and doing 32 bytes of 8 byte stores in a loop. The following testcase was used to verify the patch: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/stress_clear_user.c To show the improvement in performance I ran a dd from /dev/zero to /dev/null on a POWER7 box: Before: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 3.72379 s, 2.8 GB/s After: # time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 0.728318 s, 14.4 GB/s Over 5x faster.

An upcoming release of firmware will add DDW extensions, in particular an API to "reset" the DMA window to the original configuration (32-bit, 2GB in size). With that API available, we can safely remove the default window, increasing the resources available to firmware for creation of larger windows for the slot in question -- if we encounter an error, we can use the new API to reset the state of the slot. Further, this same release of firmware will make it a hard requirement for OSes to release the existing window before any other windows will be shown as available, to avoid conflicts in addressing between the two windows. In anticipation of these changes, always remove the default window before we do any DDW manipulations.
