The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch of data streams. The kernel already supports DSCR value per thread but there is also a need in a ability to change it from an external process for the specific pid. The patch adds new register index PT_DSCR (index=44) which can be set/get by: ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, dscr); dscr = ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, traced_process, PT_DSCR << 3, NULL); The patch does not increase PT_REGS_COUNT as the pt_regs struct has not been changed.

The FWNMI region is fixed at 0x7000 and the vector are now overflowing that with some configurations. Fix that by moving some hash management code out of that region as it doesn't need to be that close to the call sites (isn't accessed using conditional branches).

On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow. If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy overflow). In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over. The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and then increases the amount left before the overflow. This stops us from locking up.

If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event (ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the IRQ. Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run, and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever. Hence we keep hitting that same PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter. This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this. We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >= 0x80000000). If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for inactive counters. If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue. If none of the PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused the IRQ.

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is not set until eeh_add_device_late is called. Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called. These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash, due to a NULL dereference. Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

When a device DMA window includes the address 0, it's reserved in the TCE bitmap to avoid returning that address to drivers. When the device is removed, the bitmap is checked for any mappings not removed by the driver, indicating a possible DMA mapping leak. Since the reserved address is not cleared, a message is printed, warning of such a leak. Check for the reservation, and clear it before checking for any other standing mappings.

This is a rewrite so that we don't assume we are using the DABR throughout the code. We now use the arch_hw_breakpoint to store the breakpoint in a generic manner in the thread_struct, rather than storing the raw DABR value. The ptrace GET/SET_DEBUGREG interface currently passes the raw DABR in from userspace. We keep this functionality, so that future changes (like the POWER8 DAWR), will still fake the DABR to userspace.

powerpc: Avoid load of static chain register when calling nested functions through a pointer on 64bit The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot of unnecessary overhead here. gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it. If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and won't simply compile bad code: You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option. Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out makes even more sense.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR) will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector. PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space. P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature supports on P7 or later processors. We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry. GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned to the user space.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address. This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors. Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed. It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real option.

Motivation: IBM Blue Gene/Q comes with some very strange firmware that I'm trying to get out of using in the kernel. So instead I spin all the threads in the boot wrapper (using the firmware) and have them enter the kexec stub, pre-translated at the virtual "linear" address, never touching firmware again. This works strategy works wonderfully, but I need the following patch in the kexec stub. I believe it should not effect Book3S and Book3E does not appear to be here yet so I'd love to get any criticisms up front. This patch adds two items: 1) Book3e requires that GPR4 survive the "hold" process, so we make sure that happens. 2) Book3e has no real mode, and the hold code exploits this. Since these processors ares always translated, we arrange for the kexeced threads to enter the hold code using the normal kernel linear mapping.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium. Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data: # -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from # the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the # percpu data area are created by this method. # # The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the # original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base # kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full # 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it. 32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually. Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data). The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot. Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC. This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to process which helps keep boot times on simulators down. gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be safe we may want a build time script which passes through the prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.
