      powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc · ba55bd74
      由 Michael Ellerman 提交于 
      Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

      KVM: ppc: mostly cosmetic updates to the exit timing accounting code · 7b701591
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      The only significant changes were to kvmppc_exit_timing_write() and
kvmppc_exit_timing_show(), both of which were dramatically simplified.

      KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics · 73e75b41
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).

      KVM: ppc: save and restore guest mappings on context switch · c5fbdffb
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      Store shadow TLB entries in memory, but only use it on host context switch
(instead of every guest entry). This improves performance for most workloads on
440 by reducing the guest TLB miss rate.

      KVM: ppc: directly insert shadow mappings into the hardware TLB · 7924bd41
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      Formerly, we used to maintain a per-vcpu shadow TLB and on every entry to the
guest would load this array into the hardware TLB. This consumed 1280 bytes of
memory (64 entries of 16 bytes plus a struct page pointer each), and also
required some assembly to loop over the array on every entry.

Instead of saving a copy in memory, we can just store shadow mappings directly
into the hardware TLB, accepting that the host kernel will clobber these as
part of the normal 440 TLB round robin. When we do that we need less than half
the memory, and we have decreased the exit handling time for all guest exits,
at the cost of increased number of TLB misses because the host overwrites some
guest entries.

These savings will be increased on processors with larger TLBs or which
implement intelligent flush instructions like tlbivax (which will avoid the
need to walk arrays in software).

In addition to that and to the code simplification, we have a greater chance of
leaving other host userspace mappings in the TLB, instead of forcing all
subsequent tasks to re-fault all their mappings.

      KVM: ppc: support large host pages · 89168618
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      KVM on 440 has always been able to handle large guest mappings with 4K host
pages -- we must, since the guest kernel uses 256MB mappings.

This patch makes KVM work when the host has large pages too (tested with 64K).

      KVM: ppc: fix userspace mapping invalidation on context switch · fe4e771d
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the
kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in
the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest
kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings
were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path
ended up using stale mappings.

Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K
pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the
guest kernel could insert any for process B.

      KVM: ppc: use prefetchable mappings for guest memory · df9b856c
      由 Hollis Blanchard 提交于 
      Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it
can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To
prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address
through that mapping, it's marked Guarded.

However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical
RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a
machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so
let's allow prefetching as the designers intended.

Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I
tried, but it's clearly the right thing to do anyways and may improve other
workloads.
