      powerpc: Fix build of some debug irq code · 21b2de34
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      There was a typo, checking for CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAG instead of
      CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS causing some useful debug code to not be
      built
      
      This in turns causes a build error on BookE 64-bit due to incorrect
      semicolons at the end of a couple of macros, so let's fix that too

      powerpc: More fixes for lazy IRQ vs. idle · be2cf20a
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code
      vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream
      are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which
      this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead).
      
      We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that
      has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set
      all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before
      we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with
      MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause
      things to go very wrong later on.
      
      This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the
      pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got
      things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7
      "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T
      and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable
      code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them
      when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers
      about how the low power state actually works on them.

      powerpc: check_and_cede_processor() never cedes · 0b17ba72
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Commit f948501b ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
      interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
      ->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
      so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.
      
      The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
      of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
      nothing.
      
      This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
      hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
      too.

      powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling · 7230c564
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
      issues that this tries to address.
      
      We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
      interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
      and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
      interrupts.
      
      The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
      "edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
      EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.
      
      Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
      of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
      when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.
      
      This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
      we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.
      
      The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
      "irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
      occurred while soft-disabled.
      
      When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
      from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
      field.
      
      We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
      re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
      the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
      arch_local_irq_enable case).
      
      This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
      fake interrupts, among others.
      
      In addition, this adds a few refinements:
      
       - We no longer  hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
      while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
      (on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
      enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
      performance monitor interrupts.
      
       - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
      shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
      they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
      perf sample quality.
      
       - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
      act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
      appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
      nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
      perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)
      
       - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
      timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

      powerpc: Call do_page_fault() with interrupts off · a546498f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
      calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
      a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
      getting into the debugger.
      
      We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
      such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
      be unexpected.
      
      This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
      and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
      interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
      within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
      
      While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
      trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
      
      Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
      clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
      macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.

      Fix IRQ flag handling naming · df9ee292
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix the IRQ flag handling naming.  In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
      it maps:
      
      	local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
      	local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
      	local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
      	...
      
      and under the other configuration, it maps:
      
      	raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
      	raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
      	raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
      	...
      
      This is quite confusing.  There should be one set of names expected of the
      arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
      by users of this facility.
      
      Change this to have the arch provide:
      
      	flags = arch_local_save_flags()
      	flags = arch_local_irq_save()
      	arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
      	arch_local_irq_disable()
      	arch_local_irq_enable()
      	arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	arch_irqs_disabled()
      	arch_safe_halt()
      
      Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
      
      	raw_local_save_flags(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_save(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
      	raw_local_irq_disable()
      	raw_local_irq_enable()
      	raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	raw_irqs_disabled()
      	raw_safe_halt()
      
      with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
      
      	local_save_flags(flags)
      	local_irq_save(flags)
      	local_irq_restore(flags)
      	local_irq_disable()
      	local_irq_enable()
      	irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
      	irqs_disabled()
      	safe_halt()
      
      with tracing included if enabled.
      
      The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
      having to be macros.

      powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call · 0fe1ac48
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally
      crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events.
      The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path
      when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear.  Interrupts
      should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled.  Because
      the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked.
      
      The reason is that the exception exit path was calling
      perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and
      perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts.
      
      The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism
      that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the
      decrementer to 1.  This means we can remove the tests in the exception
      exit path and raw_local_irq_restore.
      
      This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from
      timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit.  (Note that
      calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that
      there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures
      that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one
      timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      powerpc: Add irqtrace support for 32-bit powerpc · 5d38902c
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Based on initial work from: Dale Farnsworth <dale@farnsworth.org>
      
      Add the low level irq tracing hooks for 32-bit powerpc needed
      to enable full lockdep functionality.
      
      The approach taken to deal with the code in entry_32.S is that
      we don't trace all the transitions of MSR:EE when we just turn
      it off to peek at TI_FLAGS without races. Only when we are
      calling into C code or returning from exceptions with a state
      that have changed from what lockdep thinks.
      
      There's a little bugger though: If we take an exception that
      keeps interrupts enabled (such as an alignment exception) while
      interrupts are enabled, we will call trace_hardirqs_on() on the
      way back spurriously. Not a big deal, but to get rid of it would
      require remembering in pt_regs that the exception was one of the
      type that kept interrupts enabled which we don't know at this
      stage. (Well, we could test all cases for regs->trap but that
      sucks too much).

      perf_counter: powerpc: Enable use of software counters on 32-bit powerpc · 105988c0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This enables the perf_counter subsystem on 32-bit powerpc.  Since we
      don't have any support for hardware counters on 32-bit powerpc yet,
      only software counters can be used.
      
      Besides selecting HAVE_PERF_COUNTERS for 32-bit powerpc as well as
      64-bit, the main thing this does is add an implementation of
      set_perf_counter_pending().  This needs to arrange for
      perf_counter_do_pending() to be called when interrupts are enabled.
      Rather than add code to local_irq_restore as 64-bit does, the 32-bit
      set_perf_counter_pending() generates an interrupt by setting the
      decrementer to 1 so that a decrementer interrupt will become pending
      in 1 or 2 timebase ticks (if a decrementer interrupt isn't already
      pending).  When interrupts are enabled, timer_interrupt() will be
      called, and some new code in there calls perf_counter_do_pending().
      We use a per-cpu array of flags to indicate whether we need to call
      perf_counter_do_pending() or not.
      
      This introduces a couple of new Kconfig symbols: PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT,
      which is selected by processor families for which we have hardware PMU
      support (currently only PPC64), and PPC_PERF_CTRS, which enables the
      powerpc-specific perf_counter back-end.

      perf_counter: Make set_perf_counter_pending() declaration common · 9974458e
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      At present, every architecture that supports perf_counters has to
      declare set_perf_counter_pending() in its arch-specific headers.
      This consolidates the declarations into a single declaration in one
      common place, include/linux/perf_counter.h.  On powerpc, we continue
      to provide a static inline definition of set_perf_counter_pending()
      in the powerpc hw_irq.h.
      
      Also, this removes from the x86 perf_counter.h the unused null
      definitions of {test,clear}_perf_counter_pending.

      powerpc: Add compiler memory barrier to mtmsr macro · 4c75f84f
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      On 32-bit non-Book E, local_irq_restore() turns into just mtmsr(),
      which doesn't currently have a compiler memory barrier.  This means
      that accesses to memory inside a local_irq_save/restore section,
      or a spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore section on UP, can
      be reordered by the compiler to occur outside that section.
      
      To fix this, this adds a compiler memory barrier to mtmsr for both
      32-bit and 64-bit.  Having a compiler memory barrier in mtmsr makes
      sense because it will almost always be changing something about the
      context in which memory accesses are done, so in general we don't want
      memory accesses getting moved from one side of an mtmsr to the other.
      
      With the barrier in mtmsr(), some of the explicit barriers in
      hw_irq.h are now redundant, so this removes them.

      perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup · 925d519a
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
      for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
      them.
      
      This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
      issue.
      
      Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
      single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
      wakeups.
      
      [ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
        cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
        perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
        network wakeups. ]
      
      Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
      quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
      wakeup.
      
      The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
      sufficient.

      perf_counter: abstract wakeup flag setting in core to fix powerpc build · b6c5a71d
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Impact: build fix for powerpc
      
      Commit bd753921015e7905 ("perf_counter: software counter event
      infrastructure") introduced a use of TIF_PERF_COUNTERS into the core
      perfcounter code.  This breaks the build on powerpc because we use
      a flag in a per-cpu area to signal wakeups on powerpc rather than
      a thread_info flag, because the thread_info flags have to be
      manipulated with atomic operations and are thus slower than per-cpu
      flags.
      
      This fixes the by changing the core to use an abstracted
      set_perf_counter_pending() function, which is defined on x86 to set
      the TIF_PERF_COUNTERS flag and on powerpc to set the per-cpu flag
      (paca->perf_counter_pending).  It changes the previous powerpc
      definition of set_perf_counter_pending to not take an argument and
      adds a clear_perf_counter_pending, so as to simplify the definition
      on x86.
      
      On x86, set_perf_counter_pending() is defined as a macro.  Defining
      it as a static inline in arch/x86/include/asm/perf_counters.h causes
      compile failures because <asm/perf_counters.h> gets included early in
      <linux/sched.h>, and the definitions of set_tsk_thread_flag etc. are
      therefore not available in <asm/perf_counters.h>.  (On powerpc this
      problem is avoided by defining set_perf_counter_pending etc. in
      <asm/hw_irq.h>.)

      powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled · 93a6d3ce
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
      possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
      kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
      soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
      monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
      process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
      handler.
      
      This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
      either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
      handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
      flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
      subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
      return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
      perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

      [POWERPC] Lazy interrupt disabling for 64-bit machines · d04c56f7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This implements a lazy strategy for disabling interrupts.  This means
      that local_irq_disable() et al. just clear the 'interrupts are
      enabled' flag in the paca.  If an interrupt comes along, the interrupt
      entry code notices that interrupts are supposed to be disabled, and
      clears the EE bit in SRR1, clears the 'interrupts are hard-enabled'
      flag in the paca, and returns.  This means that interrupts only
      actually get disabled in the processor when an interrupt comes along.
      
      When interrupts are enabled by local_irq_enable() et al., the code
      sets the interrupts-enabled flag in the paca, and then checks whether
      interrupts got hard-disabled.  If so, it also sets the EE bit in the
      MSR to hard-enable the interrupts.
      
      This has the potential to improve performance, and also makes it
      easier to make a kernel that can boot on iSeries and on other 64-bit
      machines, since this lazy-disable strategy is very similar to the
      soft-disable strategy that iSeries already uses.
      
      This version renames paca->proc_enabled to paca->soft_enabled, and
      changes a couple of soft-disables in the kexec code to hard-disables,
      which should fix the crash that Michael Ellerman saw.  This doesn't
      yet use a reserved CR field for the soft_enabled and hard_enabled
      flags.  This applies on top of Stephen Rothwell's patches to make it
      possible to build a combined iSeries/other kernel.

      [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip · d1bef4ed
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
      various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
      functionality.
      
      While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
      generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
      smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
      the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
      
      The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
      driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
      straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
      (level/edge/etc.) type of details.
      
      This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
      architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
      The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
      converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
      
      As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
      (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
      
      The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
      and more consolidation between architectures.
      
      We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
      layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
      
      This patch:
      
      rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
      
      Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
      both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
      large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
      truly is.
      
      I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
      desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
      frequently.
      
      So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
      via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
      
      This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
      remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
      without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.
