Idle code now always runs at the 0xc... effective address whether in real or virtual mode. This means rfid can be ditched, along with a lot of SRR manipulations. In the wakeup path, carry SRR1 around in r12. Use mtmsrd to change MSR states as required. This also balances the return prediction for the idle call, by doing blr rather than rfid to return to the idle caller. On POWER9, 2-process context switch on different cores, with snooze disabled, increases performance by 2%.

The __replay_interrupt() code is branched to with bl, but the caller is returned to directly with rfid from the interrupt. Instead, rfid to a stub that returns to the caller with blr, which should keep the return branch predictor balanced. Reviewed-by: NGautham R.

msgsnd doorbell exceptions are cleared when the doorbell interrupt is taken. However if a doorbell exception causes a system reset interrupt wake from power saving state, the message is not cleared. Processing the doorbell from the system reset interrupt requires msgclr to avoid taking the exception again.

After bc355125 ("powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on interrupts from guest to host"), a getppid() system call goes from 307 cycles to 358 cycles (+17%) on POWER8. This is due significantly to the scratch SPR used by the hypercall check. It turns out there are a some volatile registers common to both system call and hypercall (in particular, r12, cr0, ctr), which can be used to avoid the SPR and some other overheads. This brings getppid to 320 cycles (+4%). Testing hcall entry performance by running "sc 1" in guest userspace before this patch is 854 cycles, afterwards is 826. Also a small win there. POWER9 syscall is improved by about the same amount, hcall not tested. Signed-off-by: NNicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The system reset interrupt is used for crash/debug situations, so it is desirable to have as little impact on the normal state of the system as possible. Currently it uses the current kernel stack to process the exception. This stores into the stack which may be involved with the crash. The stack pointer may be corrupted, or it may have overflowed. Avoid or minimise these problems by creating a dedicated NMI stack for the system reset interrupt to use.

In preparation for using a dedicated stack for system reset interrupts, prevent a nested system reset from recovering, in order to simplify code that is called in crash/debug path. This allows a system reset interrupt to just use the base stack pointer. Keep an in_nmi nesting counter similarly to the in_mce counter. Consider the interrrupt non-recoverable if it is taken inside another system reset. Interrupt nesting could be allowed similarly to MCE, but system reset is a special case that's not for normal operation, so simplicity wins until there is requirement for nested system reset interrupts.

The system reset interrupt can occur when MSR_EE=0, and it currently uses the PACA_EXGEN save area. Some PACA_EXGEN interrupts have a window where MSR_RI=1 and MSR_EE=0 when the save area is still in use. A system reset interrupt in this window can lead to undetected corruption when the save area gets overwritten. This patch introduces PACA_EXNMI save area for system reset exceptions, which closes this corruption window. It's also helpful to retain the EXGEN state for debugging situations, even if not considering the recoverability aspect. This patch also moves the PACA_EXMC area down to a less frequently used part of the paca with the new save area.

The ISA specifies power save wakeup due to a machine check exception can cause a machine check interrupt (rather than the usual system reset interrupt). The machine check handler copes with this by doing low level machine check recovery without restoring full state from idle, then queues up a machine check event for logging, then directly executes the same idle instruction it woke from. This minimises the work done before recovery is performed. The problem is that it requires machine specific instructions and knowledge of the book3s idle code. Currently it only has code to handle POWER8 idle, so POWER9 crashes when trying to execute the P8 idle instructions which don't exist in ISAv3.0B. cpu 0x0: Vector: e40 (Emulation Assist) at [c0000000008f3810] pc: c000000000008380: machine_check_handle_early+0x130/0x2f0 lr: c00000000053a098: stop_loop+0x68/0xd0 sp: c0000000008f3a90 msr: 9000000000081001 current = 0xc0000000008a1080 paca = 0xc00000000ffd0000 softe: 0 irq_happened: 0x01 pid = 0, comm = swapper/0 Instead of going to sleep after recovery, do the usual idle wakeup and state restoration by calling into the normal idle wakeup path.

The POWER8 idle code has a neat trick of programming the power on engine to restore a low bit into HSPRG0, so idle wakeup code can test and see if it has been programmed this way and therefore lost all state. Restore time can be reduced if winkle has not been reached. However this messes with our r13 PACA pointer, and requires HSPRG0 to be written to. It also optimizes the slowest and most uncommon case at the expense of another SPR write in the common nap state wakeup. Remove this complexity and assume winkle sleeps always require a state restore. This speedup could be made entirely contained within the winkle idle code by counting per-core winkles and setting a thread bitmap when all have gone to winkle. Reviewed-by: NGautham R.

Prior to commit 2337d207 ("powerpc/64: CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support for hmi interrupts"), the branch from hmi_exception_early() to hmi_exception_realmode() was just a bl hmi_exception_realmode, which the linker would turn into a bl to the local entry point of hmi_exception_realmode. This was broken when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y because hmi_exception_realmode() is not in the low part of the kernel text that is copied down to 0x0. But in fixing that, we added a new bug on little endian kernels. Because the branch is now a bctrl when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, we branch to the global entry point of hmi_exception_realmode(). The global entry point must be called with r12 containing the address of hmi_exception_realmode(), because it uses that value to calculate the TOC value (r2). This may manifest as a checkstop, because we take a junk value from r12 which came from HSRR1, add a small constant to it and then use that as the TOC pointer. The HSRR1 value will have 0x9 as the top nibble, which puts it above RAM and somewhere in MMIO space. Fix it by changing the BRANCH_LINK_TO_FAR() macro to always use r12 to load the label we're branching to. This means r12 will be setup correctly on LE, fixing this bug, and r12 is also volatile across function calls on BE so it's a good choice anyway.

With host and guest both using radix translation, it is feasible for the host to take interrupts that come from the guest with relocation on, and that is in fact what the POWER9 hardware will do when LPCR[AIL] = 3. All such interrupts use HSRR0/1 not SRR0/1 except for system call with LEV=1 (hcall). Therefore this adds the KVM tests to the _HV variants of the relocation-on interrupt handlers, and adds the KVM test to the relocation-on system call entry point. We also instantiate the relocation-on versions of the hypervisor data storage and instruction interrupt handlers, since these can occur with relocation on in radix guests.

64-bit Book3S exception handlers must find the dynamic kernel base to add to the target address when branching beyond __end_interrupts, in order to support kernel running at non-0 physical address. Support this in KVM by branching with CTR, similarly to regular interrupt handlers. The guest CTR saved in HSTATE_SCRATCH1 and restored after the branch. Without this, the host kernel hangs and crashes randomly when it is running at a non-0 address and a KVM guest is started.

Currently all the low-power idle states are expected to wake up at reset vector 0x100. Which is why the macro IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ that puts the CPU to an idle state and never returns. On ISA v3.0, when the ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero, the CPU is expected to wake up at the next instruction of the idle instruction. This patch adds a new macro named IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ_NORET for the no-return variant and reuses the name IDLE_STATE_ENTER_SEQ for a variant that allows resuming operation at the instruction next to the idle-instruction.

A subsequent patch to make KVM handlers relocation-safe makes them unusable from within alt section "else" cases (due to the way fixed addresses are taken from within fixed section head code). Stop open-coding the KVM handlers, and add them both as normal. A more optimal fix may be to allow some level of alternate feature patching in the exception macros themselves, but for now this will do. The TRAMP_KVM handlers must be moved to the "virt" fixed section area (name is arbitrary) in order to be closer to .text and avoid the dreaded "relocation truncated to fit" error.

Exception handlers are aligned to 128 bytes (L1 cache) on 64s, which is overkill. It can reduce the icache footprint of any individual exception path. However taken as a whole, the expansion in icache footprint seems likely to be counter-productive and cause more total misses. Create IFETCH_ALIGN_SHIFT/BYTES, which should give optimal ifetch alignment with much more reasonable alignment. This saves 1792 bytes from head_64.o text with an allmodconfig build. Other subarchitectures should define appropriate IFETCH_ALIGN_SHIFT values if this becomes more widely used.

Wakeups from winkle set the low bit of the HSPRG0 register, to distinguish it from other sleep states. This is also the PACA pointer. The system reset exception handler fails to mask this bit away before using this value before using it as the PACA pointer. Fix this by adding a new type of exception prolog macro where we already have the PACA set in r13, and have the system reset vector mask it out. The winkle wakeup handler will store the masked value back into HSPRG0.

This patch does a couple of things. First of all, powernv immediately explodes when running a relocated kernel, because the system reset exception for handling sleeps does not do correct relocated branches. Secondly, the sleep handling code trashes the condition and cfar registers, which we would like to preserve for debugging purposes (for non-sleep case exception). This patch changes the exception to use the standard format that saves registers before any tests or branches are made. It adds the test for idle-wakeup as an "extra" to break out of the normal exception path. Then it branches to a relocated idle handler that calls the various idle handling functions. After this patch, POWER8 CPU simulator now boots powernv kernel that is running at non-zero.
