Instead of branching out-of-line with the DO_KVM macro to check if we are in a KVM guest at the time of an interrupt, this moves the KVM check inline in the first-level interrupt handlers. This speeds up the non-KVM case and makes sure that none of the interrupt handlers are missing the check. Because the first-level interrupt handlers are now larger, some things had to be move out of line in exceptions-64s.S. This all necessitated some minor changes to the interrupt entry code in KVM. This also streamlines the book3s_32 KVM test. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

9cb82f2f (Make iSeries spin on __secondary_hold_spinloop, like pSeries) added a load of current_set but this load was repeated later and we don't even have the paca yet. It also checked __secondary_hold_spinloop with a 32 bit compare instead of a 64 bit compare. b6f6b98a (Don't spin on sync instruction at boot time) missed the copy of the startup code in iseries. 1426d5a3 (Dynamically allocate pacas) doesn't allow for pacas to be less than lppacas and recalculated the paca location from the cpu id in r0 every time through the secondary loop. Various revisions over time made the comments on conditional branches confusing with respect to being a hold loop or forward progress Mostly in-order description of the changes: Replicate the few lines of code saved by the ugly scoped ifdef CONFIG_SMP in the secondary loop between yielding on UP and marking time with the hypervisor on SMP. Always compile the iseries_secondary_yield loop and use it if the cpu id is above nr_cpu_ids. Change all forward progress paths to be forward branches to the next numerical label. Assign a label to all loops. Move all sync instructions from the loops to the forward progress path. Wait to load current_set until paca is set to go. Move the iseries_secondary_smp_loop label to cover the whole spin loop. Add HMT_MEDIUM when we make forward progress.

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves them to MMU_FTR_ bits. All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result.

This uses feature sections to arrange that we always use HSPRG1 as the scratch register in the interrupt entry code rather than SPRG2 when we're running in hypervisor mode on POWER7. This will ensure that we don't trash the guest's SPRG2 when we are running KVM guests. To simplify the code, we define GET_SCRATCH0() and SET_SCRATCH0() macros like the GET_PACA/SET_PACA macros.

Subrata Modak reported that building a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE kernel with CONFIG_ISERIES enabled gives the following warnings: WARNING: 4 bad relocations c00000000007216e R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHEST __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c000000000072172 R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHER __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c00000000007217a R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c00000000007217e R_PPC64_ADDR16_LO __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 The reason is that decrementer_iSeries_masked is using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of a kernel symbol, which creates relocations that aren't handled by the kernel relocator code. Instead of reading the tb_ticks_per_jiffy variable, we can just set the decrementer to its maximum value (0x7fffffff) and that will work just as well. In fact timer_interrupt sets the decrementer to that value initially anyway, and we are sure to get into timer_interrupt once interrupts are reenabled because we store 1 to the decrementer interrupt flag in the lppaca (LPPACADECRINT(r12) here).

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.

The STAB code used on Power3 and RS/64 uses a second scratch SPRG to save a GPR in order to decide whether to go to do_stab_bolted_* or to handle a normal data access exception. This prevents our scheme of freeing SPRG3 which is user visible for user uses since we cannot use SPRG0 which, on RS/64, seems to be read-only for supervisor mode (like POWER4). This reworks the STAB exception entry to use the PACA as temporary storage instead. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer. We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc.. and the current choice isn't always the best. This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to what those are used for on each processor family. The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all the SPRGs.

Using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of kernel symbols generates 5 instructions where LOAD_REG_ADDR can do it in one, and will generate R_PPC64_ADDR16_* relocations in the output when we get to making the kernel as a position-independent executable, which we'd rather not have to handle. This changes various bits of assembly code to use LOAD_REG_ADDR when we need to get the address of a symbol, or to use suitable position-independent code for cases where we can't access the TOC for various reasons, or if we're not running at the address we were linked at. It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where 2 would do.

Currently all iSeries secondary CPUs spin directly on the cpu_start field in their paca. Make them spin on the global __secondary_hold_spinloop until after the pacas have been initialised. As Stephen Rothwell points out, this works at the moment because __secondary_hold_spinloop is being set already, but iSeries isn't looking at it :) Signed-off-by: NTony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com> Acked-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The iSeries HV only needs the first two fields of the paca statically initialised, so create an alternate paca that contains only those and switch to our real paca immediately after boot. This is in order to make the 1024 cpu patches easier since they will no longer have to statically initialise the pacas for iSeries.
