powerpc: pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove fails from Adjunct partition being performed before the ANDCOND test Some versions of pHyp will perform the adjunct partition test before the ANDCOND test. The result of this is that H_RESOURCE can be returned and cause the BUG_ON condition to occur. The HPTE is not removed. So add a check for H_RESOURCE, it is ok if this HPTE is not removed as pSeries_lpar_hpte_remove is looking for an HPTE to remove and not a specific HPTE to remove. So it is ok to just move on to the next slot and try again. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: NMichael Wolf <mjw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NStephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>

Tracepoints should not be called inside an rcu_idle_enter/rcu_idle_exit region. Since pSeries calls H_CEDE in the idle loop, we were violating this rule. commit a7b152d5 (powerpc: Tell RCU about idle after hcall tracing) tried to work around it by delaying the rcu_idle_enter until after we called the hcall tracepoint, but there are a number of issues with it. The hcall tracepoint trampoline code is called conditionally when the tracepoint is enabled. If the tracepoint is not enabled we never call rcu_idle_enter. The idle_uses_rcu check was also done at compile time which breaks multiplatform builds. The simple fix is to avoid tracing H_CEDE and rely on other tracepoints and the hypervisor dispatch trace log to work out if we called H_CEDE. This fixes a hang during boot on pSeries.

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count. __trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry => get_cpu_var => preempt_disable __trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit => put_cpu_var => preempt_enable where: A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but => means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be called. -> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be called if the function pointer is not set. So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit get called during a hcall. This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers. Reported-by: NPaul E.

The PowerPC pSeries platform (CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y) enables hypervisor-call tracing for CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y kernels. One of the hypervisor calls that is traced is the H_CEDE call in the idle loop that tells the hypervisor that this OS instance no longer needs the current CPU. However, tracing uses RCU, so this combination of kernel configuration variables needs to avoid telling RCU about the current CPU's idleness until after the H_CEDE-entry tracing completes on the one hand, and must tell RCU that the the current CPU is no longer idle before the H_CEDE-exit tracing starts. In all other cases, it suffices to inform RCU of CPU idleness upon idle-loop entry and exit. This commit makes the required adjustments. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is really just a transport to the service processor which implements them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as "hvsi" serial ports. The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it. We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver (/dev/hvsi0). However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro) confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP. This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used in "raw" mode so that: - It now supports HVSI as well - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set} - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface. In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits over our current situation: - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only supported for the "raw" mode). I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though: - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon detecting a up->down transition on CD. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and softirq times. This turns out to be quite confusing for users because it means that a program will often be measured as taking less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode) than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly when there are no other partitions running. This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread, regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will generally show greater user and system times when run on a multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor. On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode, we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from user mode. On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR rather than the SPURR. This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log by the time accounting code.

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs. This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid. It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL. For the common case where a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs. This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

On pseries LPAR we can call the udbg routines, and the udbg console very early. So mark the udbg console as safe to call early in boot, and register the udbg console as soon as the udbg routines are hooked up. This allows platforms/pseries code to use printk() and pr_debug() rather than needing to call udbg_printf() directly for early debugging. This is nice because a) it's standard, b) it goes via the printk buffer, and c) you can get printk time stamps.

There is logic in platforms/peries/lpars.c which checks if the user has specified a console on the command line, and refrains from adding a preferred console entry for the hvc/hvsi console if they have. This trips up if you use "netconsole=foo" on the command line, and has the result that you get _only_ the netconsole, because the hvc device is never added as a preferred console. Worse still if you get the netconsole configuration wrong somehow, you end up with no console at all. As it turns out we don't need to worry about checking the command line. If the user has specified "console=foo", then foo will be set as the preferred console when the command line is parsed in start_kernel(), much later than the pseries code, and so the latter setting will take effect.

Commit 473980a9 added a call to clear the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch, each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data, which causes it to crash. This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the 3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that 473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.

This makes the kernel use 1TB segments for all kernel mappings and for user addresses of 1TB and above, on machines which support them (currently POWER5+, POWER6 and PA6T). We detect that the machine supports 1TB segments by looking at the ibm,processor-segment-sizes property in the device tree. We don't currently use 1TB segments for user addresses < 1T, since that would effectively prevent 32-bit processes from using huge pages unless we also had a way to revert to using 256MB segments. That would be possible but would involve extra complications (such as keeping track of which segment size was used when HPTEs were inserted) and is not addressed here.
