This should fix the following warning: LD arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/built-in.o WARNING: arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/built-in.o(.text+0x1310): Section mismatch in reference from the function .icp_native_init() to the function .init.text:.icp_native_init_one_node() The function .icp_native_init() references the function __init .icp_native_init_one_node(). This is often because .icp_native_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of .icp_native_init_one_node is wrong. icp_native_init() is only referenced in `arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/xics-common.c' by xics_init() which is itself marked with __init. = not built-tested = Reported-by: NTimur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NArnaud Lacombe <lacombar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This lifts the restriction that book3s_hv guests can only run one hardware thread per core, and allows them to use up to 4 threads per core on POWER7. The host still has to run single-threaded. This capability is advertised to qemu through a new KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. The return value of the ioctl querying this capability is the number of vcpus per virtual CPU core (vcore), currently 4. To use this, the host kernel should be booted with all threads active, and then all the secondary threads should be offlined. This will put the secondary threads into nap mode. KVM will then wake them from nap mode and use them for running guest code (while they are still offline). To wake the secondary threads, we send them an IPI using a new xics_wake_cpu() function, implemented in arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/icp-native.c. In other words, at this stage we assume that the platform has a XICS interrupt controller and we are using icp-native.c to drive it. Since the woken thread will need to acknowledge and clear the IPI, we also export the base physical address of the XICS registers using kvmppc_set_xics_phys() for use in the low-level KVM book3s code. When a vcpu is created, it is assigned to a virtual CPU core. The vcore number is obtained by dividing the vcpu number by the number of threads per core in the host. This number is exported to userspace via the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability. If qemu wishes to run the guest in single-threaded mode, it should make all vcpu numbers be multiples of the number of threads per core. We distinguish three states of a vcpu: runnable (i.e., ready to execute the guest), blocked (that is, idle), and busy in host. We currently implement a policy that the vcore can run only when all its threads are runnable or blocked. This way, if a vcpu needs to execute elsewhere in the kernel or in qemu, it can do so without being starved of CPU by the other vcpus. When a vcore starts to run, it executes in the context of one of the vcpu threads. The other vcpu threads all go to sleep and stay asleep until something happens requiring the vcpu thread to return to qemu, or to wake up to run the vcore (this can happen when another vcpu thread goes from busy in host state to blocked). It can happen that a vcpu goes from blocked to runnable state (e.g. because of an interrupt), and the vcore it belongs to is already running. In that case it can start to run immediately as long as the none of the vcpus in the vcore have started to exit the guest. We send the next free thread in the vcore an IPI to get it to start to execute the guest. It synchronizes with the other threads via the vcore->entry_exit_count field to make sure that it doesn't go into the guest if the other vcpus are exiting by the time that it is ready to actually enter the guest. Note that there is no fixed relationship between the hardware thread number and the vcpu number. Hardware threads are assigned to vcpus as they become runnable, so we will always use the lower-numbered hardware threads in preference to higher-numbered threads if not all the vcpus in the vcore are runnable, regardless of which vcpus are runnable.

Several fixes as well where the +1 was missing. Done via coccinelle scripts like: @@ struct resource *ptr; @@ - ptr->end - ptr->start + 1 + resource_size(ptr) and some grep and typing.

Consolidate the mux and demux of ipi messages into smp.c and call a new smp_ops callback to actually trigger the ipi. The powerpc architecture code is optimised for having 4 distinct ipi triggers, which are mapped to 4 distinct messages (ipi many, ipi single, scheduler ipi, and enter debugger). However, several interrupt controllers only provide a single software triggered interrupt that can be delivered to each cpu. To resolve this limitation, each smp_ops implementation created a per-cpu variable that is manipulated with atomic bitops. Since these lines will be contended they are optimialy marked as shared_aligned and take a full cache line for each cpu. Distro kernels may have 2 or 3 of these in their config, each taking per-cpu space even though at most one will be in use. This consolidation removes smp_message_recv and replaces the single call actions cases with direct calls from the common message recognition loop. The complicated debugger ipi case with its muxed crash handling code is moved to debug_ipi_action which is now called from the demux code (instead of the multi-message action calling smp_message_recv). I put a call to reschedule_action to increase the likelyhood of correctly merging the anticipated scheduler_ipi() hook coming from the scheduler tree; that single required call can be inlined later. The actual message decode is a copy of the old pseries xics code with its memory barriers and cache line spacing, augmented with a per-cpu unsigned long based on the book-e doorbell code. The optional data is set via a callback from the implementation and is passed to the new cause-ipi hook along with the logical cpu number. While currently only the doorbell implemntation uses this data it should be almost zero cost to retrieve and pass it -- it adds a single register load for the argument from the same cache line to which we just completed a store and the register is dead on return from the call. I extended the data element from unsigned int to unsigned long in case some other code wanted to associate a pointer. The doorbell check_self is replaced by a call to smp_muxed_ipi_resend, conditioned on the CPU_DBELL feature. The ifdef guard could be relaxed to CONFIG_SMP but I left it with BOOKE for now. Also, the doorbell interrupt vector for book-e was not calling irq_enter and irq_exit, which throws off cpu accounting and causes code to not realize it is running in interrupt context. Add the missing calls. Signed-off-by: NMilton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest. The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common RTAS ICS backend. The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones, in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different interrupt "sources" mechanisms.
