      powerpc: Fix RCU idle and hcall tracing · a5ccfee0
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      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.

      powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing · a7b152d5
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      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.

      powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of hvc_vio · 4d2bb3f5
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      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.

      powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURR · cf9efce0
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times.  This turns out to be quite confusing for users
because it means that a program will often be measured as taking
less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode)
than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even
though the program takes longer to finish.  The discrepancy is
accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly
when there are no other partitions running.

This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that
the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time
seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread,
regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in.  Thus a program will
generally show greater user and system times when run on a
multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor.

On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the
stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the
hypervisor dispatch trace log.  We check for new entries in the
log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from
kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when
account_system_vtime() gets called).  So that we can correctly
distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system
time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode,
we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from
user mode.

On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR
in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR
ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and
scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user
time and system time over the same interval.  This avoids having to
read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit.  On systems that have
PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR
rather than the SPURR.

This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl
for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log
by the time accounting code.

      powerpc: Abstract indexing of lppaca structs · 8154c5d2
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Currently we have the lppaca structs as a simple array of NR_CPUS
entries, taking up space in the data section of the kernel image.
In future we would like to allocate them dynamically, so this
abstracts out the accesses to the array, making it easier to
change how we locate the lppaca for a given cpu in future.
Specifically, lppaca[cpu] changes to lppaca_of(cpu).

      powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down · d504bed6
      由 Michael Neuling 提交于 
      Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.

This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL.  For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.

This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB
machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

      [POWERPC] Fix boot failure on POWER6 · dfbe0d3b
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Commit 473980a9 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it.  Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there.  On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.

This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize.  This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

      [POWERPC] Use 1TB segments · 1189be65
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for
user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them
(currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T).

We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the
ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree.

We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since
that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages
unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments.  That
would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as
keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted)
and is not addressed here.

Parts of this patch were originally written by Ben Herrenschmidt.
