This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before. V2->V2 - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1 __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

ePAPR represents hardware threads as cpu node properties in device tree. So with existing QEMU, hardware threads are simply exposed as vcpus with one hardware thread. The e6500 core shares TLBs between hardware threads. Without tlb write conditional instruction, the Linux kernel uses per core mechanisms to protect against duplicate TLB entries. The guest is unable to detect real siblings threads, so it can't use the TLB protection mechanism. An alternative solution is to use the hypervisor to allocate different lpids to guest's vcpus that runs simultaneous on real siblings threads. On systems with two threads per core this patch halves the size of the lpid pool that the allocator sees and use two lpids per VM. Use even numbers to speedup vcpu lpid computation with consecutive lpids per VM: vm1 will use lpids 2 and 3, vm2 lpids 4 and 5, and so on.

This patch changes the default behavior of MSRP_DEP, that is guest is not allowed to change the MSR_DE, to guest can change MSR_DE. When userspace is debugging guest then it override the default behavior and set MSRP_DEP. This stops guest to change MSR_DE when userspace is debugging guest.

On vcpu schedule, the condition checked for tlb pollution is too loose. The tlb entries of a vcpu become polluted (vs stale) only when a different vcpu within the same logical partition runs in-between. Optimize the tlb invalidation condition keeping last_vcpu per logical partition id. With the new invalidation condition, a guest shows 4% performance improvement on P5020DS while running a memory stress application with the cpu oversubscribed, the other guest running a cpu intensive workload. Guest - old invalidation condition real 3.89 user 3.87 sys 0.01 Guest - enhanced invalidation condition real 3.75 user 3.73 sys 0.01 Host real 3.70 user 1.85 sys 0.00 The memory stress application accesses 4KB pages backed by 75% of available TLB0 entries: char foo[ENTRIES][4096] __attribute__ ((aligned (4096))); int main() { char bar; int i, j; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) for (j = 0; j < ENTRIES; j++) bar = foo[j][0]; return 0; } Signed-off-by: NMihai Caraman <mihai.caraman@freescale.com> Reviewed-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

This moves the kvmppc_ops callbacks to be a per VM entity. This enables us to select HV and PR mode when creating a VM. We also allow both kvm-hv and kvm-pr kernel module to be loaded. To achieve this we move /dev/kvm ownership to kvm.ko module. Depending on which KVM mode we select during VM creation we take a reference count on respective module Signed-off-by: NAneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [agraf: fix coding style] Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

The existing check handles the case where we've migrated to a different core than we last ran on, but it doesn't handle the case where we're still on the same cpu we last ran on, but some other vcpu has run on this cpu in the meantime.
