In LE kernel, we currently have a hack for kexec that resets the exception endian before starting a new kernel as the kernel that is loaded could be a big endian or a little endian kernel. In kdump case, resetting exception endian fails when one or more cpus is disabled. But we can ignore the failure and still go ahead, as in most cases crashkernel will be of same endianess as primary kernel and reseting endianess is not even needed in those cases. This patch adds a new inline function to say if this is kdump path. This function is used at places where such a check is needed.

upatepp can get called for a nohpte fault when we find from the linux page table that the translation was hashed before. In that case we are sure that there is no existing translation, hence we could avoid doing tlbie. We could possibly race with a parallel fault filling the TLB. But that should be ok because updatepp is only ever relaxing permissions. We also look at linux pte permission bits when filling hash pte permission bits. We also hold the linux pte busy bits while inserting/updating a hashpte entry, hence a paralle update of linux pte is not possible. On the other hand mprotect involves ptep_modify_prot_start which cause a hpte invalidate and not updatepp. Performance number: We use randbox_access_bench written by Anton.

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before. V2->V2 - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1 __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

We have an unconditional branch that gets noped out during boot and a load/compare/branch. We also store the tracepoint value to the stack for the hcall_exit path to use. By using jump labels we can simplify this to just a single nop that gets replaced with a branch when the tracepoint is enabled: plpar_hcall: mr r2,r2 mfcr r0 stw r0,8(r1) nop <---- ...

If a hash bucket gets full, we "evict" a more/less random entry from it. When we do that we don't invalidate the TLB (hpte_remove) because we assume the old translation is still technically "valid". This implies that when we are invalidating or updating pte, even if HPTE entry is not valid we should do a tlb invalidate. With hugepages, we need to pass the correct actual page size value for tlb invalidation. This change update the patch 0608d692 "powerpc/mm: Always invalidate tlb on hpte invalidate and update" to handle transparent hugepages correctly.

The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed. So add a check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a specific HPTE to remove.

Tracepoints should not be called inside an rcu_idle_enter/rcu_idle_exit region. Since pSeries calls H_CEDE in the idle loop, we were violating this rule. commit a7b152d5 (powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing) tried to work around it by delaying the rcu_idle_enter until after we called the hcall tracepoint, but there are a number of issues with it. The hcall tracepoint trampoline code is called conditionally when the tracepoint is enabled. If the tracepoint is not enabled we never call rcu_idle_enter. The idle_uses_rcu check was also done at compile time which breaks multiplatform builds. The simple fix is to avoid tracing H_CEDE and rely on other tracepoints and the hypervisor dispatch trace log to work out if we called H_CEDE. This fixes a hang during boot on pSeries.

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count. __trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry => get_cpu_var => preempt_disable __trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit => put_cpu_var => preempt_enable where: A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but => means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be called. -> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be called if the function pointer is not set. So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit get called during a hcall. This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers. Reported-by: NPaul E.

The PowerPC pSeries platform (CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y) enables hypervisor-call tracing for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y kernels. One of the hypervisor calls that is traced is the H_CEDE call in the idle loop that tells the hypervisor that this OS instance no longer needs the current CPU. However, tracing uses RCU, so this combination of kernel configuration variables needs to avoid telling RCU about the current CPU's idleness until after the H_CEDE-entry tracing completes on the one hand, and must tell RCU that the the current CPU is no longer idle before the H_CEDE-exit tracing starts. In all other cases, it suffices to inform RCU of CPU idleness upon idle-loop entry and exit. This commit makes the required adjustments. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed. Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now. Signed-off-by: NPaul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

Make the VPA, SLB shadow and DTL registration and deregistration functions print consistent messages on error. I needed the firmware error code while chasing a kexec bug but we weren't printing it.

On a box with 8TB of RAM the MMU hashtable is 64GB in size. That means we have 4G PTEs. pSeries_lpar_hptab_clear was using a signed int to store the index which will overflow at 2G.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is really just a transport to the service processor which implements them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as "hvsi" serial ports. The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it. We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver (/dev/hvsi0). However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro) confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP. This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used in "raw" mode so that: - It now supports HVSI as well - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set} - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface. In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits over our current situation: - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only supported for the "raw" mode). I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though: - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon detecting a up->down transition on CD. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions. Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions. This patch also exports some page coalescing statistics available from firmware via lparcfg.
