Currently we have optimized hand-coded assembly checksum routines for big-endian 64-bit systems, but for little-endian we use the generic C routines. This modifies the optimized routines to work for little-endian. With this, we no longer need to enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM. This also fixes a couple of comments in checksum_64.S so they accurately reflect what the associated instruction does.

Commit 2578bfae ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do likewise. But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it. So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig. Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better. Optimise the loop in a few ways: - Unroll the byte at a time loop - For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp. A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte memcmp was used to measure the performance: baseline: 29.93 s modified: 1.70 s Just over 17x faster. v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher: - Use andi. instead of rdlicl. - Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare and was a relic from a previous version. - Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local atomics.

Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian. This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores. Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops (which are already endian safe). The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is. Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for all other 64bit platforms.

I noticed __clear_user high up in a profile of one of my RAID stress tests. The testcase was doing a dd from /dev/zero which ends up calling __clear_user. __clear_user is basically a loop with a single 4 byte store which is horribly slow. We can do much better by aligning the desination and doing 32 bytes of 8 byte stores in a loop. The following testcase was used to verify the patch: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/stress_clear_user.c To show the improvement in performance I ran a dd from /dev/zero to /dev/null on a POWER7 box: Before: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 3.72379 s, 2.8 GB/s After: # time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 0.728318 s, 14.4 GB/s Over 5x faster.

Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX. For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster. If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps things relatively simple and easy to verify. On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles. Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector is an L1 miss. Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and stores are aligned. We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit the same cacheline. Based on this, the new loop does the following things: 1 - 127 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty boring and similar to how the current loop works. 128 - 4095 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores, 1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline. Even so it is much better than the loop we have today. 4096 - bytes If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both 16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX. If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads. In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to sleep. The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark: - Best case - userspace never uses VMX - Worst case - userspace always uses VMX In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to win is: 0% VMX aligned 2048 bytes unaligned 2048 bytes 100% VMX aligned 16384 bytes unaligned 8192 bytes Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints. Some future optimisations we can look at: - Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86 optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie: /* * If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full * restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the * chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now */ preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5; and /* * fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches * that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu * saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char * so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns * lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for * a short time */ - We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec. That should help with iovec based system calls like readv. - We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly. - One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.

We use the same core loop as the new csum_partial, adding in the stores and exception handling code. To keep things simple we do all the exception fixup in csum_and_copy_from_user. This wrapper function is modelled on the generic checksum code and is careful to always calculate a complete checksum even if we only copied part of the data to userspace. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 19% with this patch. If I forced both the sender and receiver onto the same cpu (with the hope of shifting the benchmark from being cache bandwidth limited to cpu limited), adding this patch improved performance by 55% Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.

This extends the emulate_step() function to handle a large proportion of the Book I instructions implemented on current 64-bit server processors. The aim is to handle all the load and store instructions used in the kernel, plus all of the instructions that appear between l[wd]arx and st[wd]cx., so this handles the Altivec/VMX lvx and stvx and the VSX lxv2dx and stxv2dx instructions (implemented in POWER7). The new code can emulate user mode instructions, and checks the effective address for a load or store if the saved state is for user mode. It doesn't handle little-endian mode at present. For floating-point, Altivec/VMX and VSX instructions, it checks that the saved MSR has the enable bit for the relevant facility set, and if so, assumes that the FP/VMX/VSX registers contain valid state, and does loads or stores directly to/from the FP/VMX/VSX registers, using assembly helpers in ldstfp.S. Instructions supported now include: * Loads and stores, including some but not all VMX and VSX instructions, and lmw/stmw * Atomic loads and stores (l[dw]arx, st[dw]cx.) * Arithmetic instructions (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc.) * Compare instructions * Rotate and mask instructions * Shift instructions * Logical instructions (and, or, xor, etc.) * Condition register logical instructions * mtcrf, cntlz[wd], exts[bhw] * isync, sync, lwsync, ptesync, eieio * Cache operations (dcbf, dcbst, dcbt, dcbtst) The overflow-checking arithmetic instructions are not included, but they appear not to be ever used in C code. This uses decimal values for the minor opcodes in the switch statements because that is what appears in the Power ISA specification, thus it is easier to check that they are correct if they are in decimal. If this is used to single-step an instruction where a data breakpoint interrupt occurred, then there is the possibility that the instruction is a lwarx or ldarx. In that case we have to be careful not to lose the reservation until we get to the matching st[wd]cx., or we'll never make forward progress. One alternative is to try to arrange that we can return from interrupts and handle data breakpoint interrupts without losing the reservation, which means not using any spinlocks, mutexes, or atomic ops (including bitops). That seems rather fragile. The other alternative is to emulate the larx/stcx and all the instructions in between. This is why this commit adds support for a wide range of integer instructions.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds. The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror, that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register saves/restores based on: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down for our needs (integer only). Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines. Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the out-of-line save/restore functions.

This fixes a few more miscellaneous compile problems with ARCH=ppc. 1. Don't compile devres.c on ARCH=ppc, it doesn't have ioremap_flags. 2. Include <asm/irq.h> in setup.c for the __DO_IRQ_CANON definition. 3. Include <linux/proc_fs.h> in residual.c for the definition of create_proc_read_entry. 4. Fix xchg_ptr to be a static inline to eliminate a compiler warning. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

We provide an ioremap_flags, so this provides a corresponding devm_ioremap_prot. The slight name difference is at Ben Herrenschmidt's request as he plans on changing ioremap_flags to ioremap_prot in the future.
