      powerpc: New macros for transactional memory support · 8b3c34cf
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      This adds new macros for saving and restoring checkpointed architected state
      from and to the thread_struct.
      
      It also adds some debugging macros for when your brain explodes trying to debug
      your transactional memory enabled kernel.

      powerpc: Apply early paca fixups to boot_paca and the boot cpu's paca · 25e13814
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      In commit 466921c5 we added a hack to set the paca data_offset to zero so
      that per-cpu accesses would work on the boot cpu prior to per-cpu areas
      being setup. This fixed a problem with lockdep touching per-cpu areas
      very early in boot.
      
      However if we combine CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y with any of the PPC_EARLY_DEBUG
      options, we can hit the same problem in udbg_early_init(). To avoid that
      we need to set the data_offset of the boot_paca also. So factor out the
      fixup logic and call it for both the boot_paca, and "the paca of the
      boot cpu".

      powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register value · 0acb9111
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that
      exists on POWER7 processors.  Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore
      the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in
      guests.
      
      This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the
      early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is
      executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry
      to the guest.

      powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry paths · 1707dd16
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are
      only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level
      interrupt handler.  For these we currently just have a branch to an
      out-of-line handler.  However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR
      (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors.
      
      To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces:
      EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR
      is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest.  We
      then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before
      we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the
      first-level interrupt handler.  To facilitate this, we define new
      _OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc.
      
      In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more
      than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move
      the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and
      to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions.  Previously
      there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was
      nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then
      another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside
      __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR.
      Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally
      and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although
      this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for
      it.
      
      Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at
      0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor
      emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions.
      The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved
      to 0xe60 on POWER7.  Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode
      on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50.
      
      This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0
      instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD
      from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports
      relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).

      This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
      __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
      
      Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
      in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

      powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz() · ce73ec6d
      Shan Hai 提交于
      The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
      code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
      introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
      and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
      forever in vdso code.
      
      The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().
      
      Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
      unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
      the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
      condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
      causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.
      
      The below scenario describes the race condition,
      x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
      	proc_P: x==0
      	    timer interrupt
      		update_vsyscall
      x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
      					    update_vsyscall_tz
      x==2						x++;sync
      x==3		    sync;x++
      						sync;x++
      	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)
      
      Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
      atomic on powerpc.
      
      A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58
      ("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")
