msr_check_and_set() always performs a mfmsr() to determine if it needs to perform an mtmsr(), as mfmsr() can be a costly operation msr_check_and_set() could return the MSR now on the CPU to avoid callers of msr_check_and_set having to make their own mfmsr() call.

giveup_all() causes FPU/VMX/VSX facilities to be disabled in a threads MSR. If the thread performing the giveup was transactional, the kernel must record which facilities were in use before the giveup as the thread must have these facilities re-enabled on return to userspace. >From process.c: /* * This is called if we are on the way out to userspace and the * TIF_RESTORE_TM flag is set. It checks if we need to reload * FP and/or vector state and does so if necessary. * If userspace is inside a transaction (whether active or * suspended) and FP/VMX/VSX instructions have ever been enabled * inside that transaction, then we have to keep them enabled * and keep the FP/VMX/VSX state loaded while ever the transaction * continues. The reason is that if we didn't, and subsequently * got a FP/VMX/VSX unavailable interrupt inside a transaction, * we don't know whether it's the same transaction, and thus we * don't know which of the checkpointed state and the transactional * state to use. */ Calling check_if_tm_restore_required() will set TIF_RESTORE_TM and save the MSR if needed.

Comment from arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:967: If userspace is inside a transaction (whether active or suspended) and FP/VMX/VSX instructions have ever been enabled inside that transaction, then we have to keep them enabled and keep the FP/VMX/VSX state loaded while ever the transaction continues. The reason is that if we didn't, and subsequently got a FP/VMX/VSX unavailable interrupt inside a transaction, we don't know whether it's the same transaction, and thus we don't know which of the checkpointed state and the ransactional state to use. restore_math() restore_fp() and restore_altivec() currently may not restore the registers. It doesn't appear that this is more serious than a performance penalty. If the math registers aren't restored the userspace thread will still be run with the facility disabled. Userspace will not be able to read invalid values. On the first access it will take an facility unavailable exception and the kernel will detected an active transaction, at which point it will abort the transaction. There is the possibility for a pathological case preventing any progress by transactions, however, transactions are never guaranteed to make progress.

The hub diag-data type is filled with big-endian data by OPAL call opal_pci_get_hub_diag_data(). We need convert it to CPU-endian value before using it. The issue is reported by sparse as pointed by Michael Ellerman: eeh-powernv.c:1309:21: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer This converts hub diag-data type to CPU-endian before using it in pnv_eeh_get_and_dump_hub_diag().

The PE number (@frozen_pe_no), filled by opal_pci_next_error() is in big-endian format. It should be converted to CPU-endian before it is passed to opal_pci_eeh_freeze_clear() when clearing the frozen state if the PE is invalid one. As Michael Ellerman pointed out, the issue is also detected by sparse: eeh-powernv.c:1541:41: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) This passes CPU-endian PE number to opal_pci_eeh_freeze_clear() and it should be part of commit <0f36db77> ("powerpc/eeh: Fix wrong printed PE number"), which was merged to 4.3 kernel.

We supported POWER7 CPUs for bootstrapping little endian, but the target was always POWER8. Now that POWER7 specific issues are impacting performance, change the default target to POWER8. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

POWER8 handles unaligned accesses in little endian mode, but commit 0b5e6661 ("powerpc: Don't set HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on little endian builds") disabled it for all. The issue with unaligned little endian accesses is specific to POWER7, so update the Kconfig check to match. Using the stat() testcase from commit a75c380c ("powerpc: Enable DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS on ppc64le"), performance improves 15% on POWER8.

I see quite a lot of static branch mispredictions on a simple web serving workload. The issue is in __atomic_add_unless(), called from _atomic_dec_and_lock(). There is no obvious common case, so it is better to let the hardware predict the branch. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

During context switch, switch_mm() sets our current CPU in mm_cpumask. We can avoid this atomic sequence in most cases by checking before setting the bit. Testing on a POWER8 using our context switch microbenchmark: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/benchmarks/context_switch \ --process --no-fp --no-altivec --no-vector Performance improves 2%.

When we issue a system reset, every CPU in the box prints an Oops, including a backtrace. Each of these can be quite large (over 4kB) and we may end up wrapping the ring buffer and losing important information. Bump the base size from 128kB to 256kB and the per CPU size from 4kB to 8kB.
