An SLB entry contains two pieces of information related to size: 1) PTE size 2) SLB size The L bit defines the PTE be "large" (usually means 16MB), SLB_VSID_B_1T defines that the SLB should span 1 GB instead of the default 256MB. Apparently I messed things up and just put those two in one box, shaked it heavily and came up with the current code which handles large pages incorrectly, because it also treats large page SLB entries as "1TB" segment entries. This patch splits those two features apart, making Linux guests boot even when they have > 256MB. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

Book3S needs some flags in SRR1 to get to know details about an interrupt. One such example is the trap instruction. It tells the guest kernel that a program interrupt is due to a trap using a bit in SRR1. This patch implements above behavior, making WARN_ON behave like WARN_ON.

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code. To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced with a similar problem and did the same thing: A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and then RFIs info the actual handler. Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching part.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest and host state. Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries. To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction. That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault. After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there. That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it less racy and less complex. Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

All code in PPC KVM currently accesses gprs in the vcpu struct directly. While there's nothing wrong with that wrt the current way gprs are stored and loaded, it doesn't suffice for the PACA acceleration that will follow in this patchset. So let's just create little wrapper inline functions that we call whenever a GPR needs to be read from or written to. The compiled code shouldn't really change at all for now.

We treated the DEC interrupt like an edge based one. This is not true for Book3s. The DEC keeps firing until mtdec is issued again and thus clears the interrupt line. So let's implement this logic in KVM too. This patch moves the line clearing from the firing of the interrupt to the mtdec emulation. This makes PPC64 guests work without AGGRESSIVE_DEC defined.

Anton's commit enabling the use of the lwsync fixup mechanism on 64-bit breaks modules. The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve. This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections. Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader for now... Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing his patches across other ppc64 processors. Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5 and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression. This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync method.

由 Anton Blanchard 提交于
Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation: > 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA > even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds. > > 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by > EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store > releasing the lock. To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex: pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in the futex spinlock code: 94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | |--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock | | | |--63.29%-- .futex_wake | | | |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per second) are: before: 1538203 ops/sec after: 2189219 ops/sec An improvement of 42% A 32 core POWER7 improves even more: before: 1279529 ops/sec after: 2282076 ops/sec An improvement of 78% Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day. Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are occurring.

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat summaries. While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to keep a machine check summary. The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
