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.

The callback (ppc_md.pci_probe_mode()) is used to determine if the child PCI devices of the indicated PCI bus should be probed from device-tree or hardware. On PowerNV platform, we always expect probing PCI devices from hardware, which is PowerPC PCI core's default behaviour. Also, the callback had some delay implemented based on PHB's device node property "reset-clear-timestamp", which wasn't exported from skiboot. So we don't need this function and it's safe to remove it. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

When PE's frozen count hits maximal allowed frozen times, which is 5 currently, it will be forced to be offline permanently. Once the PE is removed permanently, rebooting machine is required to bring the PE back. It's not convienent when testing EEH functionality. The patch exports the maximal allowed frozen times through debugfs entry (/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/eeh_max_freezes).

The conditions that one specific PE's frozen count exceeds the maximal allowed times (EEH_MAX_ALLOWED_FREEZES) and it's in isolated or recovery state indicate the PE was removed permanently implicitly. The patch introduces flag EEH_PE_REMOVED to indicate that explicitly so that we don't depend on the fixed maximal allowed times, which can be varied as we do in subsequent patch. Flag EEH_PE_REMOVED is expected to be marked for the PE whose frozen count exceeds the maximal allowed times, or just failed from recovery.

PE#0 should be regarded as valid for P7IOC, while it's invalid for PHB3. The patch adds flag EEH_VALID_PE_ZERO to differentiate those two cases. Without the patch, we possibly see frozen PE#0 state is cleared without EEH recovery taken on P7IOC as following kernel logs indicate: [root@ltcfbl8eb ~]# dmesg : pci 0000:00 : [PE# 000] Secondary bus 0 associated with PE#0 pci 0000:01 : [PE# 001] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#1 pci 0001:00 : [PE# 000] Secondary bus 0 associated with PE#0 pci 0001:01 : [PE# 001] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#1 pci 0002:00 : [PE# 000] Secondary bus 0 associated with PE#0 pci 0002:01 : [PE# 001] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#1 pci 0003:00 : [PE# 000] Secondary bus 0 associated with PE#0 pci 0003:01 : [PE# 001] Secondary bus 1 associated with PE#1 pci 0003:20 : [PE# 002] Secondary bus 32..63 associated with PE#2 : EEH: Clear non-existing PHB#3-PE#0 EEH: PHB location: U78AE.001.WZS00M9-P1-002 Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

When calling to early_setup(), we pick "boot_paca" up for the master CPU and initialize that with initialise_paca(). At that point, the SLB shadow buffer isn't populated yet. Updating the SLB shadow buffer should corrupt what we had in physical address 0 where the trap instruction is usually stored. This hasn't been observed to cause any trouble in practice, but is obviously fishy.

Currently, all non-dot symbols are being treated as function descriptors in ABIv1. This is incorrect and is resulting in perf probe not working: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. # dmesg | tail -1 [192268.073063] Could not insert probe at _text+768432: -22 perf probe bases all kernel probes on _text and writes, for example, "p:probe/do_fork _text+768432" to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. In-kernel, _text is being considered to be a function descriptor and is resulting in the above error. Fix this by changing how we lookup symbol addresses on ppc64. We first check for the dot variant of a symbol and look at the non-dot variant only if that fails. In this manner, we avoid having to look at the function descriptor. While at it, also separate out how this works on ABIv2 where we don't have dot symbols, but need to use the local entry point. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

Once upon a time, at least 9 years ago (< 2.6.12), _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A meant "TRACE or AUDIT". But these days it means TRACE or AUDIT or SECCOMP or TRACEPOINT or NOHZ.

When IOMMU bypass is enabled, a PCI device can read and write memory that was not mapped by the driver without causing an EEH. That might cause memory corruption, for example. When we disable bypass, DMA reads and writes to addresses not mapped by the IOMMU will cause an EEH, allowing us to debug such issues.

The current handling of EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS event does not shutdown the system after logging the message. All the events of EPOW_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN action code (EPOW_SHUTDOWN_ON_UPS is a part of it) must initiate system shutdown as per the SPAPR spec. If the LPAR does not shutdown after receiving this rtas based event, it will expose itself to a forced abrupt shutdown initiated by the platform firmware. This patch fixes the situation.

Adds reset to sysfs which will PERST the card. If load_image_on_perst is set to "user" or "factory", the PERST will cause that image to be loaded. load_image_on_perst is set to "user" for production. "none" could be used for debugging. The PSL trace arrays are preserved which then can be read through debugfs. PERST also triggers CAPP recovery. An HMI comes in, which is handled by EEH. EEH unbinds the driver, calls into Sapphire to reinitialize the PHB, then rebinds the driver.

load_image_on_perst identifies whether a PERST will cause the image to be flashed to the card. And if so, which image. Valid entries are: "none", "user" and "factory". A value of "none" means PERST will not cause the image to be flashed. A power cycle to the pcie slot is required to load the image. "user" loads the user provided image and "factory" loads the factory image upon PERST. sysfs updates the cxl struct in the driver then calls cxl_update_image_control to write the vals in the VSEC.

Select defaults such that a PERST causes flash image reload. Select which image based on what the card is set up to load. CXL_VSEC_PERST_LOADS_IMAGE selects whether PERST assertion causes flash image load. CXL_VSEC_PERST_SELECT_USER selects which image is loaded on the next PERST. cxl_update_image_control writes these bits into the VSEC.

This patch adds tracepoints throughout the cxl driver, which can provide insight into: - Context lifetimes - Commands sent to the PSL and AFU and their completion status - Segment and page table misses and their resolution - PSL and AFU interrupts - slbia calls from the powerpc copro_fault code These tracepoints are mostly intended to aid in debugging (particularly for new AFU designs), and may be useful standalone or in conjunction with hardware traces collected by the PSL (read out via the trace interface in debugfs) and AFUs.

Add the new routine ps3_mm_set_repository_highmem() that saves highmem info to the LV1 hypervisor registry so that the info will be available to second stage OS's loaded by petitboot/kexec. FreeBSD and some Linux derivatives use this feature. Also, move the existing ps3_mm_get_repository_highmem() routine up in the source file. This implementation of ps3_mm_set_repository_highmem() assumes the repository will have a single highmem region entry (at index 0).

It looks like it's ~4 years since we updated some of these, so do a bulk update. Verified that the before and after generated configs are exactly the same. Which begs the question why update them? The answer is that it can be confusing when the stored defconfig drifts too far from the generated result. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

We have two arrays in kvm_host_state that contain register values for the PMU. Currently we only create an asm-offsets symbol for the base of the arrays, and do the array offset in the assembly code. Creating an asm-offsets symbol for each field individually makes the code much nicer to read, particularly for the MMCRx/SIxR/SDAR fields, and might have helped us notice the recent double restore bug we had in this code.
