We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set of CPU features can never change after boot. We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(), meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch. For a C sequence along the lines of: if (cpu_has_feature(FOO)) return 2; The generated code before is roughly: ld r9,-27640(r2) ld r9,0(r9) lwz r9,32(r9) cmpwi cr7,r9,0 bge cr7, 1f li r3,2 blr 1: ... After (true): nop li r3,2 blr After (false): b 1f li r3,2 blr 1: ... mpe: Rename MAX_CPU_FEATURES as we already have a #define with that name, and define it simply as a constant, rather than doing tricks with sizeof and NULL pointers. Rename the array to cpu_feature_keys. Use the kconfig we added to guard it. Add BUILD_BUG_ON() if the feature is not a compile time constant. Rewrite the change log.

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h. Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs reg.h (for MSR_EE). So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

In later patches, we will be switching CPU and MMU feature checks to use static keys. For checks in early boot before jump label is initialized we need a variant of [cpu|mmu]_has_feature() that doesn't use jump labels. So create those called, unimaginatively, early_[cpu|mmu]_has_feature(). Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Various e500 core have different cache architecture, so they need different cache flush operations. Therefore, add a callback function cpu_flush_caches to the struct cpu_spec. The cache flush operation for the specific kind of e500 is selected at init time. The callback function will flush all caches inside the current cpu.

Add a cputable entry for POWER9. More code is required to actually boot and run on a POWER9 but this gets the base piece in which we can start building on. Copies over from POWER8 except for: - Adds a new CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 bit to start hanging new architecture features from (in subsequent patches). - Advertises new user features bits PPC_FEATURE2_ARCH_3_00 & HAS_IEEE128 when on POWER9. - Drops CPU_FTR_SUBCORE. - Drops PMU code and machine check.

This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this behaviour to userspace. Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active transaction fails. This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was documented as unsupported. It doesn't reduce functionality as syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that the transaction be explicitly suspended. It also provides a consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390). Performance measurements using http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

This patch implements PAGE_EXEC capability on the 8xx. All pages PP exec bits are set to 000, which means Execute for Supervisor and no Execute for User. Then we use the APG to say whether accesses are according to Page rules, "all Supervisor" rules (Exec for all) and "all User" rules (Exec for noone) Therefore, we define 4 APG groups. msb is _PAGE_EXEC, lsb is _PAGE_USER. MI_AP is initialised as follows: GP0 (00) => Not User, no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP1 (01) => User but no exec => 11 (all accesses performed as user) GP2 (10) => Not User, exec => 01 (rights according to page definition) GP3 (11) => User, exec => 00 (all accesses performed as supervisor) Signed-off-by: NChristophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> [scottwood: comments: s/exec/data/ on data side, and s/pages/pages'/] Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller has to pass non-generic argument. This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

We have been a bit slack about updating the CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS masks. When we added POWER8, and also POWER8E we forgot to update the ALWAYS mask. And when we added POWER8_DD1 we forgot to update both the POSSIBLE and ALWAYS masks. Luckily this hasn't caused any actual bugs AFAICS. Failing to update the ALWAYS mask just forgoes a potential optimisation opportunity. Failing to update the POSSIBLE mask for POWER8_DD1 is also OK because it only removes a bit rather than adding any. Regardless they should all be in both masks so as to avoid any future bugs when the set of ALWAYS/POSSIBLE bits changes, or the masks themselves change.

The general idea is that each core will release all of its threads into the secondary thread startup code, which will eventually wait in the secondary core holding area, for the appropriate bit in the PACA to be set. The kick_cpu function pointer will set that bit in the PACA, and thus "release" the core/thread to boot. We also need to do a few things that U-Boot normally does for CPUs (like enable branch prediction).

Although the name CONFIG_POWER4 suggests that it controls support for power4 cpus, this symbol is actually misnamed. It is a historical wart from the powermac code, which used to support building a 32-bit kernel for power4. CONFIG_POWER4 was used in that context to guard code that was 64-bit only. In the powermac code we can just use CONFIG_PPC64 instead, and in other places it is a synonym for CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64.

We inadvertently broke power3 support back in 3.4 with commit f5339277 "powerpc: Remove FW_FEATURE ISERIES from arch code". No one noticed until at least 3.9. By then we'd also broken it with the optimised memcpy, copy_to/from_user and clear_user routines. We don't want to add any more complexity to those just to support ancient cpus, so it seems like it's a good time to drop support for power3 and earlier.

Erratum A-006598 says that 64-bit mftb is not atomic -- it's subject to a similar race condition as doing mftbu/mftbl on 32-bit. The lower half of timebase is updated before the upper half; thus, we can share the workaround for a similar bug on Cell. This workaround involves looping if the lower half of timebase is zero, thus avoiding the need for a scratch register (other than CR0). This workaround must be avoided when the timebase is frozen, such as during the timebase sync code. This deals with kernel and vdso accesses, but other userspace accesses will of course need to be fixed elsewhere. Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

When introducing support for DABRX in 4474ef05, we broke older 32-bit CPUs that don't have that register. Some CPUs have a DABR but not DABRX. Configuration are: - No 32bit CPUs have DABRX but some have DABR. - POWER4+ and below have the DABR but no DABRX. - 970 and POWER5 and above have DABR and DABRX. - POWER8 has DAWR, hence no DABRX. This introduces CPU_FTR_DABRX and sets it on appropriate CPUs. We use the top 64 bits for CPU FTR bits since only 64 bit CPUs have this. Processors that don't have the DABRX will still work as they will fall back to software filtering these breakpoints via perf_exclude_event().
