As all other architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(), we are about to retire the free_area_cache. This change simply removes the use of that cache in slice_get_unmapped_area(), which will most certainly have a performance cost. Next one will convert that function to use the vm_unmapped_area() infrastructure and regain the performance.

This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading and clearing Branch History Rolling Buffer entries.

The instruction 'clrbhrb' has straight forward encoding. But the instruction encoding format for reading the BHRB entries is like 'mfbhrbe RT, BHRBE' where it takes two arguments, i.e the index for the BHRB buffer entry to read and a general purpose register to put the value which was read from the buffer entry.

In perf_ip_adjust() we potentially use the MMCRA[SLOT] field to adjust the reported IP of a sampled instruction. Currently the logic is written so that if the backend does NOT have the PPMU_ALT_SIPR flag set then we assume MMCRA[SLOT] exists. However on power8 we do not want to set ALT_SIPR (it's in a third location), and we also do not have MMCRA[SLOT]. So add a new flag which only indicates whether MMCRA[SLOT] exists. Naively we'd set it on everything except power6/7, because they set ALT_SIPR, and we've reversed the polarity of the flag. But it's more complicated than that. mpc7450 is 32-bit, and uses its own version of perf_ip_adjust() which doesn't use MMCRA[SLOT], so it doesn't need the new flag set and the behaviour is unchanged. PPC970 (and I assume power4) don't have MMCRA[SLOT], so shouldn't have the new flag set. This is a behaviour change on those cpus, though we were probably getting lucky and the bits in question were 0. power5 and power5+ set the new flag, behaviour unchanged. power6 & power7 do not set the new flag, behaviour unchanged.

In the code generated by the MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro, we currently have two instances of the HMT_MEDIUM macro, which has the effect of setting the SMT thread priority to medium. One is the first instruction, and is overwritten by a no-op on processors where we save the PPR (processor priority register), that is, POWER7 or later. The other is after we have saved the PPR. In order to reduce the code at 0x900 by one instruction, we omit the first HMT_MEDIUM. On processors without SMT this will have no effect since HMT_MEDIUM is a no-op there. On POWER5 and RS64 machines this will mean that the first few instructions take a little longer in the case where a decrementer interrupt occurs when the hardware thread is running at low SMT priority. On POWER6 and later machines, the hardware automatically boosts the thread priority when a decrementer interrupt is taken if the thread priority was below medium, so this change won't make any difference. The alternative would be to branch out of line after saving the CFAR. However, that would incur an extra overhead on all processors, whereas the approach adopted here only adds overhead on older threaded processors.

The new PRRN firmware feature provides a more convenient and event-driven interface than VPHN for notifying Linux of changes to the NUMA affinity of platform resources. However, for practical reasons, it may not be feasible for some customers to update to the latest firmware. For these customers, the VPHN feature supported on previous firmware versions may still be the best option. The VPHN feature was previously disabled due to races with the load balancing code when accessing the NUMA cpu maps, but the new stop_machine() approach protects the NUMA cpu maps from these concurrent accesses. It should be safe to re-enable this feature now. Signed-off-by: NNathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The new PRRN firmware feature allows CPU and memory resources to be transparently reassigned across NUMA boundaries. When this happens, the kernel must update the node maps to reflect the new affinity information. Although the NUMA maps can be protected by locking primitives during the update itself, this is insufficient to prevent concurrent accesses to these structures. Since cpumask_of_node() hands out a pointer to these structures, they can still be modified outside of the lock. Furthermore, tracking down each usage of these pointers and adding locks would be quite invasive and difficult to maintain. The approach used is to make a list of affected cpus and call stop_machine to have the update routine run on each of the affected cpus allowing them to update themselves. Each cpu finds itself in the list of cpus and makes the appropriate updates. We need to have each cpu do this for themselves to handle calls to vdso_getcpu_init() added in a subsequent patch. Situations like these are best handled using stop_machine(). Since the NUMA affinity updates are exceptionally rare events, this approach has the benefit of not adding any overhead while accessing the NUMA maps during normal operation.

Platform events such as partition migration or the new PRRN firmware feature can cause the NUMA characteristics of a CPU to change, and these changes will be reflected in the device tree nodes for the affected CPUs. This patch registers a handler for Open Firmware device tree updates and reconfigures the CPU and node maps whenever the associativity changes. Currently, this is accomplished by marking the affected CPUs in the cpu_associativity_changes_mask and allowing arch_update_cpu_topology() to retrieve the new associativity information using hcall_vphn(). Protecting the NUMA cpu maps from concurrent access during an update operation will be addressed in a subsequent patch in this series.

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message, we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity information about those resources. The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the specific resource reassignment. This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps (handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing, so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue to allow event processing to continue. PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have one event in flight being handled at a time.

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources (CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of its platform resources. When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration. This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update() to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.
