Power ISAv3 adds a large decrementer (LD) mode which increases the size of the decrementer register. The size of the enlarged decrementer register is between 32 and 64 bits with the exact size being dependent on the implementation. When in LD mode, reads are sign extended to 64 bits and a decrementer exception is raised when the high bit is set (i.e the value goes below zero). Writes however are truncated to the physical register width so some care needs to be taken to ensure that the high bit is not set when reloading the decrementer. This patch adds support for using the LD inside the host kernel on processors that support it. When LD mode is supported firmware will supply the ibm,dec-bits property for CPU nodes to allow the kernel to determine the maximum decrementer value. Enabling LD mode is a hypervisor privileged operation so the kernel can only enable it manually when running in hypervisor mode. Guests that support LD mode can request it using the "ibm,client-architecture-support" firmware call (not implemented in this patch) or some other platform specific method. If this property is not supplied then the traditional decrementer width of 32 bit is assumed and LD mode will not be enabled. This patch was based on initial work by Jack Miller.

This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction) loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a new FSCR bit, LM. This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is done lazily for performance reasons.

The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs 780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs 796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code currently uses the unprivileged SPRs - while this is OK for reading, writing to that register of course does not work. Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM. To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead.

This adds routines for early setup for radix. We use device tree property "ibm,processor-radix-AP-encodings" to find supported page sizes. If we don't find the above we consider 64K and 4K as supported page sizes. We do map vmemap using 2M page size if we can. The linear mapping is done such that we use required page size for that range. For example memory of 3.5G is mapped such that we use 1G mapping till 3G range and use 2M mapping for the rest.

This reverts commit 9678cdaa ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional memory corruption. In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to by r0. The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the buffer. The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical core from the one where the write-out was initiated. These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the function (since the measured performance improvement from using the feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is the best option.

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller). Otherwise if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because of the interrupt.

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. Signed-off-by: NShreyas B.

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in nap mode (paca->kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap (or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on. This is bad for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest context. If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400. This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.

Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP() implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the time. If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can be found in save_stack_trace -> save_context_stack: c0000000000432c0 <.save_stack_trace>: c0000000000432c0: mflr r0 c0000000000432c4: std r0,16(r1) c0000000000432c8: stdu r1,-128(r1) <-- stack frame for _mcount c0000000000432cc: std r3,112(r1) c0000000000432d0: bl <._mcount> c0000000000432d4: nop c0000000000432d8: mr r4,r1 <-- __get_SP() c0000000000432dc: ld r5,632(r13) c0000000000432e0: ld r3,112(r1) c0000000000432e4: li r6,1 c0000000000432e8: addi r1,r1,128 <-- pop stack frame c0000000000432ec: ld r0,16(r1) c0000000000432f0: mtlr r0 c0000000000432f4: b <.save_context_stack> <-- tail call optimized save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current one, and it is likely to be scribbled over. Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with __get_SP(). This also fixes an issue with perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(). It currently unwinds the stack once, which will skip a valid stack frame on a leaf function. With the __get_SP() fixes in this patch, we never need to unwind the stack frame to get to the first interesting frame. We have to export __get_SP() because perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() (which is used in modules) calls it from a header file.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing to a SPR. The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register: - starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents - 32kb for L2 - 128kb for L2+L3 - Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb) - Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout) We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one. To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter: - starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements) - table size (no data, until end of table) - prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or 32 cycles) The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on a physical CPU. The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits, so we just generate needless memory operations. This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves to be useful. Benchmark 1: - 16 core POWER8 - 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each - No split core/SMT - two guests running sysbench memory test. sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run - one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page) ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/ This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache) where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop. In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%). The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged. benchmark 2: - Same VM config as benchmark 1 - all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait many times for cachelines to be pulled in) The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest. benchmark 3: - same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2. - two idle guests - 1 guest running STREAM benchmark This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more). benchmark 4: - same 3 guests as previous benchmarks - two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy workload - one guest running STREAM benchmark. Similar improvements to benchmark 3. benchmark 5: - 1 guest, 8 VCPUs, Ubuntu 14.04 - Host configured with split core (SMT8, subcores-per-core=4) - STREAM benchmark In this benchmark, we see a 10-20% performance improvement across the board of STREAM benchmark results with this patch.

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should. The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0. Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but doesn't. The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0 value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading MMCR0. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to appear as full cores to a guest. The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at length in the comments within the patch. One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure. The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg: $ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2. We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to be run.

If we do a treclaim and we are not in TM suspend mode, it results in a TM bad thing (ie. a 0x700 program check). Similarly if we do a trechkpt and we have an active transaction or TEXASR Failure Summary (FS) is not set, we also take a TM bad thing. This should never happen, but if it does (ie. a kernel bug), the cause is almost impossible to debug as the GPR state is mostly userspace and hence we don't get a call chain. This adds some checks in these cases case a BUG_ON() (in asm) in case we ever hit these cases. It moves the register saving around to preserve r1 till later also.

Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms. Power management SPRs are used to set the required PState. This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms. PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device tree. powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform. The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding to those modifications are noted below: * The policy->cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this content into policy->related_cpus mask which should not vary on cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com] * Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max, pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure so that they can be reused in the future to perform any validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com] * Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this interface. Nominal frequency is the highest non-turbo frequency for the platform. This is generally used for setting governor policies from user space for optimal energy efficiency. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com] * Implement a powernv_cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu) method which will return the current operating frequency. Export this via the sysfs interface cpuinfo_cur_freq by setting powernv_cpufreq_driver.get to powernv_cpufreq_get().

This adds saving of the transactional memory (TM) checkpointed state on guest entry and exit. We only do this if we see that the guest has an active transaction. It also adds emulation of the TM state changes when delivering IRQs into the guest. According to the architecture, if we are transactional when an IRQ occurs, the TM state is changed to suspended, otherwise it's left unchanged.

The previous commit added constraint and register handling to allow processes using EBB (Event Based Branches) to request access to the BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer). With that in place we can allow processes using EBB to access the BHRB. This is achieved by setting BHRBA in MMCR0 when we enable EBB access. We must also clear BHRBA when we are disabling.

Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented). In commit 8b64a9df ("powerpc/booke64: Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues: - It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time). - It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions. - It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all (by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after I made (most of) this patch. :-) It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with SPRG for all exceptions. Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO there.

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user, kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest. This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX. PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface. For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add "hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set DABRX_BTI. The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR. For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values on POWER8. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAlexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

POWER8 has a bit in the LPCR to enable or disable the PURR and SPURR registers to count when in the guest. Set this bit. POWER8 has a field in the LPCR called AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location) which is used to enable relocation-on interrupts. Allow userspace to set this field.

* SRR1 wake reason field for system reset interrupt on wakeup from nap is now a 4-bit field on P8, compared to 3 bits on P7. * Set PECEDP in LPCR when napping because of H_CEDE so guest doorbells will wake us up. * Waking up from nap because of a guest doorbell interrupt is not a reason to exit the guest.
