Writing to the software acknowledge clear register when there are no pending messages causes a HUB error to assert. The original intent of this write was to clear the pending bits before start of operation, but this is an incorrect method and has been determined to be unnecessary.

Add the UV4-specific function definitions and define an operations struct to implement them in the BAU driver. Many BAU MMRs, although functionally the same, have new addresses on UV4 due to hardware changes. Each MMR requires new read/write functions, but their implementation in the driver does not change. Thus, it is enough to enumerate them in the operations struct for the changes to take effect.

The BAU on UV4 does not need to maintain the payload queue tail pointer. Do not initialize the tail pointer MMR on UV4. Note that write_payload_tail is not an abstracted BAU function since it is an operation specific to pre-UV4 versions. Then we must switch on the UV version to control its usage, for which we use uvhub_version rather than is_uv*_hub because it is quicker/more concise.

Software timeouts are not currently supported on BAU for UV4. Instead, the BAU will rely on hardware-level fairness protocols to determine broadcast timeouts.

Many BAU functions have different implementations depending on the UV version. Rather than switching on the uvhub_version throughout the driver, we can define a set of operations for each version. This is especially beneficial for UV4, which will require many new MMR read/write functions. Currently, the set of abstracted functions are the same for UV1, UV2, and UV3. The functions were chosen because each one will have a different implementation for UV4. Other functions will be added as needed to handle new implementations or to cleanup the existing differences between UV1, UV2, and UV3, i.e. read_status and wait_completion.

For several years, the common practice has been to boot UVs with the "nobau" parameter on the command line, to disable the BAU. We've decided that it makes more sense to just disable the BAU by default in the kernel, and provide the option to turn it on, if desired. For now, having the on/off switch doesn't buy us any more than just reversing the logic would, but we're working towards having the BAU enabled by default on UV4. When those changes are in place, having the on/off switch will make more sense than an enable flag, since the default behavior will be different depending on the system version. I've also added a bit of documentation for the new parameter to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

In init_per_cpu(), when get_cpu_topology() fails, init_per_cpu_tunables() is not called afterwards. This means that bau_control->statp is NULL. If a user then reads /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics ptc_seq_show() references a NULL pointer. Therefore, since uv_bau_init calls set_bau_off when init_per_cpu() fails, we add code that detects when the bau is off in ptc_seq_show() to avoid referencing a NULL pointer.

Update of TLB shootdown code for UV3. Kernel function native_flush_tlb_others() calls uv_flush_tlb_others() on UV to invalidate tlb page definitions on remote cpus. The UV systems have a hardware 'broadcast assist unit' which can be used to broadcast shootdown messages to all cpu's of selected nodes. The behavior of the BAU has changed only slightly with UV3: - UV3 is recognized with is_uv3_hub(). - UV2 functions and structures (uv2_xxx) are in most cases simply renamed to uv2_3_xxx. - Some UV2 error workarounds are not needed for UV3.

The SGI UV tlb shootdown code panics the system with a NULL pointer deference if 'nobau' is specified on the boot commandline. uv_flush_tlb_other() gets called for every flush, whether the BAU is disabled or not. It should not be keeping the s_enters statistic while the BAU is disabled. The panic occurs because during initialization init_per_cpu_tunables() does not set the bcp->statp pointer if 'nobau' was specified.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later remain TLB lines accessing. But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU. So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at: (512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) = X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost) Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries. But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And 2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries. Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any suggestions are welcomed. As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now. My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70 percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang under a heavy load. To cure this: - Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits, like UV1. - Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with the legacy IPI method. - Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy. -- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a period of time -- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time Also: - Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround - Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit, s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested) Signed-off-by: NCliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120622131459.GC31884@sgi.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

This patch enables the BAU to be turned on or off dynamically. echo "on" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics echo "off" > /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics The system may be booted with or without the nobau option. Whether the system currently has the BAU off can be seen in the /proc file -- normally with the baustats script. Each cpu will have a 1 in the bauoff field if the BAU was turned off, so baustats will give a count of cpus that have it off.

Correct the calculation of a destination timeout period, which is used to distinguish between a destination timeout and the situation where all the target software ack resources are full and a request is returned immediately. The problem is that integer arithmetic was overflowing, yielding a very large result. Without this fix destination timeouts are identified as resource 'plugged' events and an ipi method of resource releasing is unnecessarily employed.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Initialize two spinlocks in tlb_uv.c and also properly define/initialize the uv_irq_lock.

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.

Update the use of the Broadcast Assist Unit on SGI Altix UV2 to the use of native UV2 mode on new hardware (not the legacy mode). UV2 native mode has a different format for a broadcast message.

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.

Remove the large stack-resident cpumask_t from reset_with_ipi()'s stack by allocating one per uvhub. Due to the limited size of the stack the potentially huge cpumask_t may cause stack overrun. We haven't seen it happen yet, but we need to make it a practice not to push such structures onto the stack.
