      ppc64: fix missing to check all bits of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK in preempt · c58ce2b1
      由 Tiejun Chen 提交于 
      In entry_64.S version of ret_from_except_lite, you'll notice that
in the !preempt case, after we've checked MSR_PR we test for any
TIF flag in _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide whether to go to do_work
or not. However, in the preempt case, we do a convoluted trick to
test SIGPENDING only if PR was set and always test NEED_RESCHED ...
but we forget to test any other bit of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK !!! So
that means that with preempt, we completely fail to test for things
like single step, syscall tracing, etc...

This should be fixed as the following path:

 - Test PR. If not set, go to resume_kernel, else continue.

 - If go resume_kernel, to do that original do_work.

 - If else, then always test for _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to decide to do
that original user_work, else restore directly.

      powerpc/irq: Fix another case of lazy IRQ state getting out of sync · 7c0482e3
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      So we have another case of paca->irq_happened getting out of
sync with the HW irq state. This can happen when a perfmon
interrupt occurs while soft disabled, as it will return to a
soft disabled but hard enabled context while leaving a stale
PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag set.

This patch fixes it, and also adds a test for the condition
of those flags being out of sync in arch_local_irq_restore()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled.

This helps catching those gremlins faster (and so far I
can't seem see any anymore, so that's good news).

      powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling · 7230c564
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
issues that this tries to address.

We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
interrupts.

The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
"edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.

Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.

This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.

The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
"irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
occurred while soft-disabled.

When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
field.

We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
arch_local_irq_enable case).

This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
fake interrupts, among others.

In addition, this adds a few refinements:

 - We no longer  hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
(on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
performance monitor interrupts.

 - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
perf sample quality.

 - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)

 - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

      We unconditionally hard enable interrupts. This is unnecessary as
syscalls are expected to always be called with interrupts enabled.

While at it, we add a WARN_ON if that is not the case and
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled (we don't want to add overhead
to the fast path when this is not set though).

Thus let's remove the enabling (and associated irq tracing) from
the syscall entry path. Also on Book3S, replace a few mfmsr
instructions with loads of PACAMSR from the PACA, which should be
faster & schedule better.

      powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURR · cf9efce0
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      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.

      powerpc: Feature nop out reservation clear when stcx checks address · f89451fb
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      The POWER architecture does not require stcx to check that it is operating
on the same address as the larx. This means it is possible for an
an exception handler to execute a larx, get a reservation, decide
not to do the stcx and then return back with an active reservation. If the
interrupted code was in the middle of a larx/stcx sequence the stcx could
incorrectly succeed.

All recent POWER CPUs check the address before letting the stcx succeed
so we can create a CPU feature and nop it out. As Ben suggested, we can
only do this in our syscall path because there is a remote possibility
some kernel code gets interrupted by an exception that ends up operating
on the same cacheline.

Thanks to Paul Mackerras and Derek Williams for the idea.

To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase
at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c

I tested against 2.6.35-git10 with the following changes against the
pseries_defconfig:

CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n
CONFIG_AUDIT=n
CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=n
CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=9
CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=n
CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=n

to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting, syscall auditing and
the ftrace mcount tracers. 64kB pages were enabled to minimise TLB misses.

POWER6: +8.2%
POWER7: +7.0%

Another suggestion was to use a larx to something in the L1 instead of a stcx.
This was almost as fast as removing the larx on POWER6, but only 3.5% faster
on POWER7. We can use this to speed up the reservation clear in our
exception exit code.

      powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call · 0fe1ac48
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally
crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events.
The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path
when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear.  Interrupts
should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled.  Because
the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked.

The reason is that the exception exit path was calling
perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and
perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts.

The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism
that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the
decrementer to 1.  This means we can remove the tests in the exception
exit path and raw_local_irq_restore.

This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from
timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit.  (Note that
calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that
there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures
that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one
timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and
eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources.

This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE
controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling
preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that
to avoid unrecoverable exceptions.

This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered
and has to be restored in both cases.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      powerpc: Use names rather than numbers for SPRGs (v2) · ee43eb78
      由 Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于 
      The kernel uses SPRG registers for various purposes, typically in
low level assembly code as scratch registers or to hold per-cpu
global infos such as the PACA or the current thread_info pointer.

We want to be able to easily shuffle the usage of those registers
as some implementations have specific constraints realted to some
of them, for example, some have userspace readable aliases, etc..
and the current choice isn't always the best.

This patch should not change any code generation, and replaces the
usage of SPRN_SPRGn everywhere in the kernel with a named replacement
and adds documentation next to the definition of the names as to
what those are used for on each processor family.

The only parts that still use the original numbers are bits of KVM
or suspend/resume code that just blindly needs to save/restore all
the SPRGs.

      powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled · 93a6d3ce
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
handler.

This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

      powerpc: Fix system calls on Cell entered with XER.SO=1 · ab598b66
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      It turns out that on Cell, on a kernel with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
= y, if a program sets the SO (summary overflow) bit in the XER and
then does a system call, the SO bit in CR0 will be set on return
regardless of whether the system call detected an error.  Since CR0.SO
is used as the error indication from the system call, this means that
all system calls appear to fail.

The reason is that the workaround for the timebase bug on Cell uses a
compare instruction.  With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING = y, the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY macro reads the timebase, so we end up doing a
compare instruction, which copies XER.SO to CR0.SO.  Since we were
doing this in the system call entry patch after clearing CR0.SO but
before saving the CR, this meant that the saved CR image had CR0.SO
set if XER.SO was set on entry.

This fixes it by moving the clearing of CR0.SO to after the
ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY call in the system call entry path.

      powerpc: ftrace, do nothing in mcount call for dyn ftrace · c7b0d173
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Impact: quicken mcount calls that are not replaced by dyn ftrace

Dynamic ftrace no longer does on the fly recording of mcount locations.
The mcount locations are now found at compile time. The mcount
function no longer needs to store registers and call a stub function.
It can now just simply return.

Since there are some functions that do not get converted to a nop
(.init sections and other code that may disappear), this patch should
help speed up that code.

Also, the stub for mcount on PowerPC 32 can not be a simple branch
link register like it is on PowerPC 64. According to the ABI specification:

"The _mcount routine is required to restore the link register from
 the stack so that the profiling code can be inserted transparently,
 whether or not the profiled function saves the link register itself."

This means that we must restore the link register that was used
to make the call to mcount.  The minimal mcount function for PPC32
ends up being:

 mcount:
        mflr    r0
        mtctr   r0
        lwz     r0, 4(r1)
        mtlr    r0
        bctr

Where we move the link register used to call mcount into the
ctr register, and then restore the link register from the stack.
Then we use the ctr register to jump back to the mcount caller.
The r0 register is free for us to use.

if we're not running at the address we were linked at.

It also cleans up a few minor things; there's no reason to save and
restore SRR0/1 around RTAS calls, __mmu_off can get the return
address from LR more conveniently than the caller can supply it in
R4 (and we already assume elsewhere that EA == RA if the MMU is on
in early boot), and enable_64b_mode was using 5 instructions where
2 would do.

      powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support · ce48b210
      由 Michael Neuling 提交于 
      This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.
