There are a few key differences between doorbells on server compared with embedded that we care about on Linux, namely: - We have a new msgsndp instruction for directed privileged doorbells. msgsnd is used for directed hypervisor doorbells. - The tag we use in the instruction is the Thread Identification Register of the recipient thread (since server doorbells can only occur between threads within a single core), and is only 7 bits wide. - A new message type is introduced for server doorbells (none of the existing book3e message types are currently supported on book3s).

When one vcpu wants to kick another, it can issue a special IPI instruction called msgsnd. This patch emulates this instruction, its clearing counterpart and the infrastructure required to actually trigger that interrupt inside a guest vcpu. With this patch, SMP guests on e500mc work.

Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06 provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for guest state. The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace. Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly to book3s. Current issues include: - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler. - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction in a page that lacks read permission. Existing e500/4xx support has the same problem. Includes work by Ashish Kalra <Ashish.Kalra@freescale.com>, Varun Sethi <Varun.Sethi@freescale.com>, and Liu Yu <yu.liu@freescale.com>.

doorbell type is defined as bits 32:36 so should be shifted by 63-36 = 27 rather than 28. We never noticed this bug as we've only every used type PPC_DBELL = 0.

Consolidate the mux and demux of ipi messages into smp.c and call a new smp_ops callback to actually trigger the ipi. The powerpc architecture code is optimised for having 4 distinct ipi triggers, which are mapped to 4 distinct messages (ipi many, ipi single, scheduler ipi, and enter debugger). However, several interrupt controllers only provide a single software triggered interrupt that can be delivered to each cpu. To resolve this limitation, each smp_ops implementation created a per-cpu variable that is manipulated with atomic bitops. Since these lines will be contended they are optimialy marked as shared_aligned and take a full cache line for each cpu. Distro kernels may have 2 or 3 of these in their config, each taking per-cpu space even though at most one will be in use. This consolidation removes smp_message_recv and replaces the single call actions cases with direct calls from the common message recognition loop. The complicated debugger ipi case with its muxed crash handling code is moved to debug_ipi_action which is now called from the demux code (instead of the multi-message action calling smp_message_recv). I put a call to reschedule_action to increase the likelyhood of correctly merging the anticipated scheduler_ipi() hook coming from the scheduler tree; that single required call can be inlined later. The actual message decode is a copy of the old pseries xics code with its memory barriers and cache line spacing, augmented with a per-cpu unsigned long based on the book-e doorbell code. The optional data is set via a callback from the implementation and is passed to the new cause-ipi hook along with the logical cpu number. While currently only the doorbell implemntation uses this data it should be almost zero cost to retrieve and pass it -- it adds a single register load for the argument from the same cache line to which we just completed a store and the register is dead on return from the call. I extended the data element from unsigned int to unsigned long in case some other code wanted to associate a pointer. The doorbell check_self is replaced by a call to smp_muxed_ipi_resend, conditioned on the CPU_DBELL feature. The ifdef guard could be relaxed to CONFIG_SMP but I left it with BOOKE for now. Also, the doorbell interrupt vector for book-e was not calling irq_enter and irq_exit, which throws off cpu accounting and causes code to not realize it is running in interrupt context. Add the missing calls. Signed-off-by: NMilton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

If we are soft disabled and receive a doorbell exception we don't process it immediately. This means we need to check on the way out of irq restore if there are any doorbell exceptions to process. The problem is at that point we don't know what our regs are, and that in turn makes xmon unhappy. To workaround the problem, instead of checking for and processing doorbells, we check for any doorbells and if there were any we send ourselves another.

The doorbells use the content of the PIR register to match messages from other CPUs. This may or may not be the same as our linux CPU number, so using that as the "target" is no right. Instead, we sample the PIR register at boot on every processor and use that value subsequently when sending IPIs. We also use a per-cpu message mask rather than a global array which should limit cache line contention. Note: We could use the CPU number in the device-tree instead of the PIR register, as they are supposed to be equivalent. This might prove useful if doorbells are to be used to kick CPUs out of FW at boot time, thus before we can sample the PIR. This is however not the case now and using the PIR just works.
