      powerpc/64e: Don't place the stack beyond TASK_SIZE · 61baf155
      Scott Wood 提交于
      Commit f4ea6dcb ("powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB") increased
      the task size on book3s, and introduced a mechanism to dynamically
      control whether a task uses these larger addresses.  While the change to
      the task size itself was ifdef-protected to only apply on book3s, the
      change to STACK_TOP_USER64 was not.  On book3e, this had the effect of
      trying to use addresses up to 128TiB for the stack despite a 64TiB task
      size limit -- which broke 64-bit userspace producing the following errors:
      
      Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
      Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)
      Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.

      powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB · f4ea6dcb
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
      known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
      encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
      addresses and leads to crashes.
      
      To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
      above 128TB by default.
      
      But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
      specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.
      
      If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
      to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
      occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
      from 128TB window.
      
      This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
      about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
      address space.
      
      This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
      larger addresses and other that do not.
      
      A sample memory layout looks like:

      We update the hash linux page table layout such that we can support

      supported by other architectures. We will later add a mechanism to
      on-demand increase the application's effective address range to 512TB.

      powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to power9_idle_stop · 09206b60
      Gautham R. Shenoy 提交于
      The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop
      level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a
      hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when
      the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the
      mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree.
      
      This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the
      PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that
      needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained
      by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and
      "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree.
      
      In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states
      for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the
      architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from
      the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System
      Vector.
      
      The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the
      psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware
      where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that
      the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and
      TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants
      required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the
      firmware.
      
      This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the
      mask for all the stop states can be found here:

      locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield() · 79ab11cd
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
      For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
      some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
      For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
      towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
      On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
      hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
      In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
      In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
      "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
      and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
      that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
      latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

      allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers.

      powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers · dc310669
      Cyril Bur 提交于
      There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register
      state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory
      (TM).
      
      Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated
      (almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set
      of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently
      modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is
      frozen at a point in time.
      
      On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later)
      restored. These two states are often called a variety of different
      things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has
      entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are
      'transactional' or 'speculative'.
      
      Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the
      hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the
      transactional state can be referred to as the live state.
      
      The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state
      and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is
      executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back
      to on transaction failure.
      
      Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live
      registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their
      values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in
      ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a
      thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live
      registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state
      holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the
      structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a
      transactional state).
      
      This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some
      circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the
      live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably
      before TM) to save the live state.
      
      With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the
      same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for
      checkpointed state.

      powerpc: Improve FSCR init and context switching · b57bd2de
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      This fixes a few issues with FSCR init and switching.
      
      In commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
      save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") we moved the setting of the FSCR
      register from inside an CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S section to inside just a
      CPU_FTR_ARCH_DSCR section. Hence we are setting FSCR on POWER6/7 where
      the FSCR doesn't exist. This is harmless but we shouldn't do it.
      
      Also, we can simplify the FSCR context switch. We don't need to go
      through the calculation involving dscr_inherit. We can just restore
      what we saved last time.
      
      We also set an initial value in INIT_THREAD, so that pid 1 which is
      cloned from that gets a sane value.

      powerpc: Restore FPU/VEC/VSX if previously used · 70fe3d98
      Cyril Bur 提交于
      Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not
      a problem unless a process is using these facilities.
      
      Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code,
      new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector
      facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy.
      
      All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the
      kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it
      increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon
      after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three.
      
      The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load
      all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC
      and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does
      avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty.
      
      An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the
      past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back
      to zero.
      
      Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested:
      
        1. Always calling C.
        2. Performing a common case check and then calling C.
        3. A complex check in asm.
      
      After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common
      case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option
      3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain
      and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

      powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus · 77b54e9f
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
      winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
      power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
      is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
      sleep.
      
      But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
      hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
      restored upon wake up.
      
      Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
      for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
      restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
      uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
      save and restore rest of the necessary registers.
      
      With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
      per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
      extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
      variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
      distingush first thread in core and subcore.

      powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management · 7cba160a
      Shreyas B. Prabhu 提交于
      Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core
      enters these states only when all the threads enter either the
      particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep
      hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be
      done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and
      similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore
      that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these
      state.
      
      The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the
      first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like
      timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is
      suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is
      involved.
      
      This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of
      threads in a per-core structure. It uses this info to perform tasks like
      fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core.

      powerpc/powernv: Return to cpu offline loop when finished in KVM guest · 56548fc0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
      currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
      the KVM code.  This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
      instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
      put the thread into nap mode to return.  The reason for doing this is
      to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
      put the thread into.
      
      In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
      will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
      relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
      In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
      in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
      the next time the thread needs to run a guest.  To tell whether or
      not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
      power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt.  We
      arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
      a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
      case.
      
      Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
      executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
      not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
      flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
      will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
      In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
      hwthread_req to become zero.

      arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax() · 3a6bfbc9
      Davidlohr Bueso 提交于
      The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f8, is
      hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
      that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
      impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
      we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
      lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
      any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.
      
      This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
      only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
      each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
      functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
      and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
      I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
      logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
      transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

      powerpc/pseries/cpuidle: smt-snooze-delay cleanup. · 3fa8cad8
      Deepthi Dharwar 提交于
      smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry
      to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This
      is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework,
      states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable
      sysfs entry.
      
      Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency
      is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore,
      the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency
      of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user
      as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency)
      values for each cpu.
      
      In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken.
      It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the
      coming of cpuidle framework.
      However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently
      utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean
      up the kernel code.

      powerpc: Don't corrupt transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel · d31626f7
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
      facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
      or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
      kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
      we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state.  This
      happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write
      operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the
      copy on POWER8.  The test program below demonstrates the bug.
      
      The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process
      is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in
      .fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in
      .transact_fp/.transact_vr.  However, when the kernel wants to use
      FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(),
      which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state.  Furthermore,
      when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX
      disabled.  The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know
      which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state,
      or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no
      way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not,
      whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed.
      
      Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has
      been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled
      for the user process with the current transactional state in the
      FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction.
      Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the
      process is no longer transactional.
      
      In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we
      test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM.
      This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored
      before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field
      in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored.
      The restoration is done by restore_tm_state().  The TIF_RESTORE_TM
      bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers,
      which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and
      flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec.
      
      The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX
      state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state
      has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional.
      Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after
      reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid
      (having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state).
      
      Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the
      transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before
      calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set
      the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit.
      
      This is the test program:
      
      /* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013

       * See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to

      powerpc: fix exception clearing in e500 SPE float emulation · 640e9225
      Joseph Myers 提交于
      The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code clears existing exceptions
      (__FPU_FPSCR &= ~FP_EX_MASK;) before ORing in the exceptions from the
      emulated operation.  However, these exception bits are the "sticky",
      cumulative exception bits, and should only be cleared by the user
      program setting SPEFSCR, not implicitly by any floating-point
      instruction (whether executed purely by the hardware or emulated).
      The spurious clearing of these bits shows up as missing exceptions in
      glibc testing.
      
      Fixing this, however, is not as simple as just not clearing the bits,
      because while the bits may be from previous floating-point operations
      (in which case they should not be cleared), the processor can also set
      the sticky bits itself before the interrupt for an exception occurs,
      and this can happen in cases when IEEE 754 semantics are that the
      sticky bit should not be set.  Specifically, the "invalid" sticky bit
      is set in various cases with non-finite operands, where IEEE 754
      semantics do not involve raising such an exception, and the
      "underflow" sticky bit is set in cases of exact underflow, whereas
      IEEE 754 semantics are that this flag is set only for inexact
      underflow.  Thus, for correct emulation the kernel needs to know the
      setting of these two sticky bits before the instruction being
      emulated.
      
      When a floating-point operation raises an exception, the kernel can
      note the state of the sticky bits immediately afterwards.  Some
      <fenv.h> functions that affect the state of these bits, such as
      fesetenv and feholdexcept, need to use prctl with PR_GET_FPEXC and
      PR_SET_FPEXC anyway, and so it is natural to record the state of those
      bits during that call into the kernel and so avoid any need for a
      separate call into the kernel to inform it of a change to those bits.
      Thus, the interface I chose to use (in this patch and the glibc port)
      is that one of those prctl calls must be made after any userspace
      change to those sticky bits, other than through a floating-point
      operation that traps into the kernel anyway.  feclearexcept and
      fesetexceptflag duly make those calls, which would not be required
      were it not for this issue.
      
      The previous EGLIBC port, and the uClibc code copied from it, is
      fundamentally broken as regards any use of prctl for floating-point
      exceptions because it didn't use the PR_FP_EXC_SW_ENABLE bit in its
      prctl calls (and did various worse things, such as passing a pointer
      when prctl expected an integer).  If you avoid anything where prctl is
      used, the clearing of sticky bits still means it will never give
      anything approximating correct exception semantics with existing
      kernels.  I don't believe the patch makes things any worse for
      existing code that doesn't try to inform the kernel of changes to
      sticky bits - such code may get incorrect exceptions in some cases,
      but it would have done so anyway in other cases.
