      cputime: Consolidate vtime handling on context switch · baa36046
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
      flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
      and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
      next task to account its cputime.
      
      These archs all put their own hooks in their context
      switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.
      
      Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
      callback called in generic code right after a context switch
      and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
      cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.

      powerpc: Optimise enable_kernel_altivec · 35000870
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec:
      
      - enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to
      save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec
      in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create
      giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the
      MSR.
      
      - We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec
      even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have
      already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO
      where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace.
      
      The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves
      performance:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
      
      Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is
      4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes.
      A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16):
      
      time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000

      powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling · 7230c564
      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.

      KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode · de56a948
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
      specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode.  Using hypervisor mode means
      that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode.  That means
      that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
      registers itself without trapping to the host.  This gives excellent
      performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
      architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.
      
      This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
      PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
      interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses.  That means that existing
      Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
      under KVM without modification.  In order to communicate the PAPR
      hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
      to include/linux/kvm.h.
      
      Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
      (i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
      made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
      do one or the other.
      
      This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
      Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
      restriction.
      
      With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
      to the guest.  We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
      interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
      interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
      the guest.  Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
      exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
      to those exception handlers.
      
      We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
      hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
      interrupts, so we have to handle those.
      
      In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
      a limited amount.  Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
      and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
      We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
      anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
      We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
      kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
      so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.
      
      The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
      to be in the same partition.  MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
      (partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
      exit from the guest.  At present we require the host and guest to run
      in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.
      
      This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
      it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA).  We
      require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
      order to simplify the low-level memory management.  This also means that
      we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
      since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.
      
      This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

      powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURR · cf9efce0
      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: Move arch_sd_sibling_asym_packing() to smp.c · e1f0ece1
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      Simple cleanup by moving arch_sd_sibling_asym_packing from process.c to
      smp.c to save an #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
      
      No functionality change.
