      x86/UV2: Work around BAU bug · c5d35d39
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      This patch implements a workaround for a UV2 hardware bug.
      The bug is a non-atomic update of a memory-mapped register. When
      hardware message delivery and software message acknowledge occur
      simultaneously the pending message acknowledge for the arriving
      message may be lost.  This causes the sender's message status to
      stay busy.
      
      Part of the workaround is to not acknowledge a completed message
      until it is verified that no other message is actually using the
      resource that is mistakenly recorded in the completed message.
      
      Part of the workaround is to test for long elapsed time in such
      a busy condition, then handle it by using a spare sending
      descriptor. The stay-busy condition is eventually timed out by
      hardware, and then the original sending descriptor can be
      re-used. Most of that logic change is in keeping track of the
      current descriptor and the state of the spares.
      
      The occurrences of the workaround are added to the BAU
      statistics.

      x86: uv2: Workaround for UV2 Hub bug (system global address format) · 6a469e46
      Jack Steiner 提交于
      This is a workaround for a UV2 hub bug that affects the format of system
      global addresses.
      
      The GRU API for UV2 was inadvertently broken by a hardware change.  The
      format of the physical address used for TLB dropins and for addresses used
      with instructions running in unmapped mode has changed.  This change was
      not documented and became apparent only when diags failed running on
      system simulators.
      
      For UV1, TLB and GRU instruction physical addresses are identical to
      socket physical addresses (although high NASID bits must be OR'ed into the
      address).
      
      For UV2, socket physical addresses need to be converted.  The NODE portion
      of the physical address needs to be shifted so that the low bit is in bit
      39 or bit 40, depending on an MMR value.
      
      It is not yet clear if this bug will be fixed in a silicon respin.  If it
      is fixed, the hub revision will be incremented & the workaround disabled.

      x86, UV: Clean up uv_tlb.c · f073cc8f
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
      functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
      and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.
      
      This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
      significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
      effects:
      
       - Split long functions into shorter logical functions.
      
       - Shortened some variable and structure member names.
      
       - Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
         very long names.
      
       - Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().
      
       - Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().
      
       - Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
         argument.
      
       - Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.
      
       - Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.
      
       - Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.
      
       - Updated the copyright date.
      
       - Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
         line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.
      
       - Aligned structure fields.
          [ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
            to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]
      
       - Shortened some long structure names.
      
       - Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()
      
       - Vertical alignment for mass initializations.
      
       - More separation between blocks of code.

      x86, UV: Add support for SGI UV2 hub chip · 2a919596
      Jack Steiner 提交于
      This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
      chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
      blades into a larger coherent SSI.
      
      For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
      the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
      contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
      system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
      maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

      x86: Fix UV BAU for non-consecutive nasids · 77ed23f8
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code,
      which is used for TLB flushing.
      
      Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering)
      cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive.
      Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU
      (Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum
      of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive.  This
      currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by
      the firmware during OS boot.  The BAU is generating an 'INTD'
      request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such
      configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off
      because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.)
      
      This patch is required to support such configurations.
      
      The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the
      consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit
      map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade
      within its partition.  It should be using physical node numbers
      (pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of
      the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition
      are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1.
      
      This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus
      allowing nasids to be non-consecutive.
      It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to
      translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid.
      And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub'
      versus 'nasid'.

      x86, UV, BAU: Extend for more than 16 cpus per socket · cfa60917
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      Fix a hard-coded limit of a maximum of 16 cpu's per socket.
      
      The UV Broadcast Assist Unit code initializes by scanning the
      cpu topology of the system and assigning a master cpu for each
      socket and UV hub. That scan had an assumption of a limit of 16
      cpus per socket. With Westmere we are going over that limit.
      The UV hub hardware will allow up to 32.
      
      If the scan finds the system has gone over that limit it returns
      an error and we print a warning and fall back to doing TLB
      shootdowns without the BAU.

      x86, UV: BAU broadcast to the local hub · 450a007e
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      Make the Broadcast Assist Unit driver use the BAU for TLB
      shootdowns of cpu's on the local uvhub.
      
      It was previously thought that IPI might be faster to the cpu's
      on the local hub.  But the IPI operation would have to follow
      the completion of the BAU broadcast anyway.  So we broadcast to
      the local uvhub in all cases except when the current cpu was the
      only local cpu in the mask.
      
      This simplifies uv_flush_send_and_wait() in that it returns
      either all shootdowns complete, or none.
      
      Adjust the statistics to account for shootdowns on the local
      uvhub.

      Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.
      
      This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which
      actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining
      cpus in the mask.
      
      I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back
      to IPI should this fail.
      
      To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations
      now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves.
      
      Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)"
      which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero
      at this point.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.

      x86, SGI UV: TLB shootdown using broadcast assist unit · 1812924b
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      TLB shootdown for SGI UV.
      
      Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq):
         x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch   Jack Steiner May 29
      
      This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on
      the local node.  The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush
      messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit".
      
      The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to
      native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c).
      
      This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware
      is not yet available.
      
      The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics.
      The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of
      many /sys files.  The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics
      should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging.
      
      Issues to be fixed later:
      - The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200
        (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE).  It should be dynamically assigned in the future.
      - The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem
        in the simulator.
