It is common to get a PMU interrupt right after the mtmsr instruction that enables interrupts. Due to this, the stack trace profile gets needlessly split across system_call_common() and system_call(). Previously, system_call() symbol was at the current place to hide a few earlier symbols which have since been made private or removed entirely. So, let's move system_call() slightly higher up, right after the mtmsr instruction that enables interrupts. Convert existing references to system_call to a local syscall symbol.

pnv_wakeup_noloss() expects r12 to contain SRR1 value to determine if the wakeup reason is an HMI in CHECK_HMI_INTERRUPT. When we wakeup with ESL=0, SRR1 will not contain the wakeup reason, so there is no point setting r12 to SRR1. However, we don't set r12 at all so r12 contains garbage (likely a kernel pointer), and is still used to check HMI assuming that it contained SRR1. This causes the OPAL msglog to be filled with the following print: HMI: Received HMI interrupt: HMER = 0x0040000000000000 This patch clears r12 after waking up from stop with ESL=EC=0, so that we don't accidentally enter the HMI handler in pnv_wakeup_noloss() if the value of r12[42:45] corresponds to HMI as wakeup reason. Prior to commit 9d292501 ("powerpc/64s/idle: Avoid SRR usage in idle sleep/wake paths") this bug existed, in that we would incorrectly look at SRR1 to check for a HMI when SRR1 didn't contain a wakeup reason. However the SRR1 value would just happen to never have bits 42:45 set.

Around 95% of memory is reserved by fadump/capture kernel. All this memory is freed, one page at a time, on writing '1' to the node /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem. On systems with large memory, this can take a long time to complete, leading to soft lockup warning messages. To avoid this, add reschedule points at regular intervals. Also, while memblock_reserve() implicitly takes care of holes in the given memory range while reserving memory, those holes need to be taken care of while releasing memory as memory is freed one page at a time. Add support to skip holes while releasing memory.

To register fadump, boot memory area - the size of low memory chunk that is required for a kernel to boot successfully when booted with restricted memory, is assumed to have no holes. But this memory area is currently not protected from hot-remove operations. So, fadump could fail to re-register after a memory hot-remove operation, if memory is removed from boot memory area. To avoid this, ensure that memory from boot memory area is not hot-removed when fadump is registered.

fadump sets up crash memory ranges to be used for creating PT_LOAD program headers in elfcore header. Memory chunk RMA_START through boot memory area size is added as the first memory range because firmware, at the time of crash, moves this memory chunk to different location specified during fadump registration making it necessary to create a separate program header for it with the correct offset. This memory chunk is skipped while setting up the remaining memory ranges. But currently, there is possibility that some of this memory may have duplicate entries like when it is hot-removed and added again. Ensure that no two memory ranges represent the same memory. When 5 lmbs are hot-removed and then hot-plugged before registering fadump, here is how the program headers in /proc/vmcore exported by fadump look like without this change: Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align NOTE 0x0000000000010000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000001894 0x0000000000001894 0 LOAD 0x0000000000021020 0xc000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 RWE 0 LOAD 0x0000000040031020 0xc000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000010000000 0x0000000010000000 RWE 0 LOAD 0x0000000050040000 0xc000000010000000 0x0000000010000000 0x0000000050000000 0x0000000050000000 RWE 0 LOAD 0x00000000a0040000 0xc000000060000000 0x0000000060000000 0x000000019ffe0000 0x000000019ffe0000 RWE 0 and with this change: Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align NOTE 0x0000000000010000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000001894 0x0000000000001894 0 LOAD 0x0000000000021020 0xc000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 RWE 0 LOAD 0x0000000040030000 0xc000000040000000 0x0000000040000000 0x0000000020000000 0x0000000020000000 RWE 0 LOAD 0x0000000060030000 0xc000000060000000 0x0000000060000000 0x000000019ffe0000 0x000000019ffe0000 RWE 0 Signed-off-by: NHari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NMahesh J Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The P9 PVR bits 12-15 don't indicate a revision but instead different chip configurations. From BookIV we have: Bits Configuration 0 : Scale out 12 cores 1 : Scale out 24 cores 2 : Scale up 12 cores 3 : Scale up 24 cores DD1 doesn't use this but DD2 does. Linux will mostly use the "Scale out 24 core" configuration (ie. SMT4 not SMT8) which results in a PVR of 0x004e1200. The reported revision in /proc/cpuinfo is hence reported incorrectly as "18.0".

Emergency stacks have their thread_info mostly uninitialised, which in particular means garbage preempt_count values. Emergency stack code runs with interrupts disabled entirely, and is used very rarely, so this has been unnoticed so far. It was found by a proposed new powerpc watchdog that takes a soft-NMI directly from the masked_interrupt handler and using the emergency stack. That crashed at BUG_ON(in_nmi()) in nmi_enter(). preempt_count()s were found to be garbage. To fix this, zero the entire THREAD_SIZE allocation, and initialize the thread_info.

This converts the powerpc VDSO time update function to use the new interface introduced in commit 576094b7 ("time: Introduce new GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL", 2012-09-11). Where the old interface gave us the time as of the last update in seconds and whole nanoseconds, with the new interface we get the nanoseconds part effectively in a binary fixed-point format with tk->tkr_mono.shift bits to the right of the binary point. With the old interface, the fractional nanoseconds got truncated, meaning that the value returned by the VDSO clock_gettime function would have about 1ns of jitter in it compared to the value computed by the generic timekeeping code in the kernel. The powerpc VDSO time functions (clock_gettime and gettimeofday) already work in units of 2^-32 seconds, or 0.23283 ns, because that makes it simple to split the result into seconds and fractional seconds, and represent the fractional seconds in either microseconds or nanoseconds. This is good enough accuracy for now, so this patch avoids changing how the VDSO works or the interface in the VDSO data page. This patch converts the powerpc update_vsyscall_old to be called update_vsyscall and use the new interface. We convert the fractional second to units of 2^-32 seconds without truncating to whole nanoseconds. (There is still a conversion to whole nanoseconds for any legacy users of the vdso_data/systemcfg stamp_xtime field.) In addition, this improves the accuracy of the computation of tb_to_xs for those systems with high-frequency timebase clocks (>= 268.5 MHz) by doing the right shift in two parts, one before the multiplication and one after, rather than doing the right shift before the multiplication. (We can't do all of the right shift after the multiplication unless we use 128-bit arithmetic.)

When the CPU wakes from low power state, it begins at the system reset interrupt with the exception that caused the wakeup encoded in SRR1. Today, powernv idle wakeup ignores the wakeup reason (except a special case for HMI), and the regular interrupt corresponding to the exception will fire after the idle wakeup exits. Change this to replay the interrupt from the idle wakeup before interrupts are hard-enabled. Test on POWER8 of context_switch selftests benchmark with polling idle disabled (e.g., always nap, giving cross-CPU IPIs) gives the following results: original wakeup direct Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s There is a slowdown for doorbell IPI (same core) case because system reset wakeup does not clear the message and the doorbell interrupt fires again needlessly.

ftrace_caller() depends on a modified regs->nip to detect if a certain function has been livepatched. However, with KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, it is possible for regs->nip to have been modified by the kprobes pre_handler (jprobes, for instance). In this case, we do not want to invoke the livepatch_handler so as not to consume the livepatch stack. To distinguish between the two (kprobes and livepatch), we check if there is an active kprobe on the current function. If there is, then we know for sure that it must have modified the NIP as we don't support livepatching a kprobe'd function. In this case, we simply skip the livepatch_handler and branch to the new NIP. Otherwise, the livepatch_handler is invoked.

The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented. POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer. This increases context switch performance by about 5% on POWER9. Signed-off-by: NNicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context switch path. Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch. This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.
