RISC-V now manages CPU topology using arch_topology which provides CPU capacity and frequency related interfaces to access the cpu/freq invariant in possible heterogeneous or DVFS-enabled platforms. Here adds topology.h file to export the arch_topology interfaces for replacing the scheduler's constant-based cpu/freq invariant accounting.

Evan Green <evan@rivosinc.com> says: There's been a bunch of off-list discussions about this, including at Plumbers. The original plan was to do something involving providing an ISA string to userspace, but ISA strings just aren't sufficient for a stable ABI any more: in order to parse an ISA string users need the version of the specifications that the string is written to, the version of each extension (sometimes at a finer granularity than the RISC-V releases/versions encode), and the expected use case for the ISA string (ie, is it a U-mode or M-mode string). That's a lot of complexity to try and keep ABI compatible and it's probably going to continue to grow, as even if there's no more complexity in the specifications we'll have to deal with the various ISA string parsing oddities that end up all over userspace. Instead this patch set takes a very different approach and provides a set of key/value pairs that encode various bits about the system. The big advantage here is that we can clearly define what these mean so we can ensure ABI stability, but it also allows us to encode information that's unlikely to ever appear in an ISA string (see the misaligned access performance, for example). The resulting interface looks a lot like what arm64 and x86 do, and will hopefully fit well into something like ACPI in the future. The actual user interface is a syscall, with a vDSO function in front of it. The vDSO function can answer some queries without a syscall at all, and falls back to the syscall for cases it doesn't have answers to. Currently we prepopulate it with an array of answers for all keys and a CPU set of "all CPUs". This can be adjusted as necessary to provide fast answers to the most common queries. An example series in glibc exposing this syscall and using it in an ifunc selector for memcpy can be found at [1]. I was asked about the performance delta between this and something like sysfs. I created a small test program and ran it on a Nezha D1 Allwinner board. Doing each operation 100000 times and dividing, these operations take the following amount of time: - open()+read()+close() of /sys/kernel/cpu_byteorder: 3.8us - access("/sys/kernel/cpu_byteorder", R_OK): 1.3us - riscv_hwprobe() vDSO and syscall: .0094us - riscv_hwprobe() vDSO with no syscall: 0.0091us These numbers get farther apart if we query multiple keys, as sysfs will scale linearly with the number of keys, where the dedicated syscall stays the same. To frame these numbers, I also did a tight fork/exec/wait loop, which I measured as 4.8ms. So doing 4 open/read/close operations is a delta of about 0.3%, versus a single vDSO call is a delta of essentially zero.

Add a vDSO function __vdso_riscv_hwprobe, which can sit in front of the riscv_hwprobe syscall and answer common queries. We stash a copy of static answers for the "all CPUs" case in the vDSO data page. This data is private to the vDSO, so we can decide later to change what's stored there or under what conditions we defer to the syscall. Currently all data can be discovered at boot, so the vDSO function answers all queries when the cpumask is set to the "all CPUs" hint. There's also a boolean in the data that lets the vDSO function know that all CPUs are the same. In that case, the vDSO will also answer queries for arbitrary CPU masks in addition to the "all CPUs" hint.

This allows userspace to select various routines to use based on the performance of misaligned access on the target hardware. Rather than adding DT bindings, this change taps into the alternatives mechanism used to probe CPU errata. Add a new function pointer alongside the vendor-specific errata_patch_func() that probes for desirable errata (otherwise known as "features"). Unlike the errata_patch_func(), this function is called on each CPU as it comes up, so it can save feature information per-CPU. The T-head C906 has fast unaligned access, both as defined by GCC [1], and in performing a basic benchmark, which determined that byte copies are >50% slower than a misaligned word copy of the same data size (source for this test at [2]): bytecopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 31664899 us wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 5180919 us wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 1 took 13416949 us [1] https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/gcc/config/riscv/riscv.cc#L353 [2] https://pastebin.com/EPXvDHSWCo-developed-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> Signed-off-by: Evan Green <evan@rivosinc.com> Reviewed-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@vrull.eu> Tested-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@vrull.eu> Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> Reviewed-by: Paul Walmsley <paul.walmsley@sifive.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230407231103.2622178-5-evan@rivosinc.comSigned-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

The RISC-V calling convention passes the first argument, and the return value in the a0 register. For this reason, the a0 register needs some extra care; When handling syscalls, the a0 register is saved into regs->orig_a0, so a0 can be properly restored for, e.g. interrupted syscalls. This functionality was broken with the introduction of the generic entry patches. Here, a0 was saved into orig_a0 after calling syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), which can change regs->a0 for some paths, incorrectly restoring a0. This is resolved, by saving a0 prior doing the syscall_enter_from_user_mode() call.

Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> says: Here's my attempt at fixing both the use of an FPU on XIP kernels and the issue that Jason ran into where CONFIG_FPU, which needs the alternatives frame work for has_fpu() checks, could be enabled without the alternatives actually being present. For the former, a "slow" fallback that does not use alternatives is added to riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() that can be used with XIP. Obviously, we want to make use of Jisheng's alternatives based approach where possible, so any users of riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() will want to make sure that they select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE. If they don't however, they'll hit the fallback path which (should, sparing a silly mistake from me!) behave in the same way, thus succeeding silently. Sounds like a To prevent "depends on !XIP_KERNEL; select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE" spreading like the plague through the various places that want to check for the presence of extensions, and sidestep the potential silent "success" mentioned above, all users RISCV_ALTERNATIVE are converted from selects to dependencies, with the option being selected for all !XIP_KERNEL builds. I know that the VDSO was a key place that Jisheng wanted to use the new helper rather than static branches, and I think the fallback path should not cause issues there.

Conor Dooley authored
When moving switch_to's has_fpu() over to using riscv_has_extension_likely() rather than static branches, the FPU code gained a dependency on the alternatives framework. That dependency has now been removed, as riscv_has_extension_ikely() now contains a fallback path, using __riscv_isa_extension_available(), but if CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE isn't selected when CONFIG_FPU is, has_fpu() checks will not benefit from the "fast path" that the alternatives framework provides. We want to ensure that alternatives are available whenever riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() is used, rather than silently falling back to the slow path, but rather than rely on selecting RISCV_ALTERNATIVE in the myriad of locations that may use riscv_has_extension_[un]likely(), select it (almost) always instead by adding it to the main RISCV config entry. xip kernels cannot make use of the alternatives framework, so it is not enabled for those configurations, although this is the status quo. All current sites that select RISCV_ALTERNATIVE are converted to dependencies on the option instead. The explicit dependencies on !XIP_KERNEL can be dropped, as RISCV_ALTERNATIVE is not user selectable.

The has_fpu() check, which in turn calls riscv_has_extension_likely(), relies on alternatives to figure out whether the system has an FPU. As a result, it will malfunction on XIP kernels, as they do not support the alternatives mechanism. When alternatives support is not present, fall back to using __riscv_isa_extension_available() in riscv_has_extension_[un]likely() instead stead, which handily takes the same argument, so that kernels that do not support alternatives can accurately report the presence of FPU support.

Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> says: When the Zicboz extension is available we can more rapidly zero naturally aligned Zicboz block sized chunks of memory. As pages are always page aligned and are larger than any Zicboz block size will be, then clear_page() appears to be a good candidate for the extension. While cycle count and energy consumption should also be considered, we can be pretty certain that implementing clear_page() with the Zicboz extension is a win by comparing the new dynamic instruction count with its current count[1]. Doing so we see that the new count is just over a quarter of the old count (see patch6's commit message for more details). For those of you who reviewed v1[2], you may be looking for the memset() patches. As pointed out in v1, and a couple follow-up emails, it's not clear that patching memset() is a win yet.

We're about to allow guests to use the Zicboz extension. KVM userspace needs to know the cache block size in order to properly advertise it to the guest. Provide a virtual config register for userspace to get it with the GET_ONE_REG API, but setting it cannot be supported, so disallow SET_ONE_REG.

Using memset() to zero a 4K page takes 563 total instructions, where 20 are branches. clear_page(), with Zicboz and a 64 byte block size, takes 169 total instructions, where 4 are branches and 33 are nops. Even though the block size is a variable, thanks to alternatives, we can still implement a Duff device without having to do any preliminary calculations. This is achieved by using the alternatives' cpufeature value (the upper 16 bits of patch_id). The value used is the maximum zicboz block size order accepted at the patch site. This enables us to stop patching / unrolling when 4K bytes have been zeroed (we would loop and continue after 4K if the page size would be larger) For 4K pages, unrolling 16 times allows block sizes of 64 and 128 to only loop a few times and larger block sizes to not loop at all. Since cbo.zero doesn't take an offset, we also need an 'add' after each instruction, making the loop body 112 to 160 bytes. Hopefully this is small enough to not cause icache misses.

cpufeature IDs are consecutive integers starting at 26, so a 32-bit patch ID allows an aircraft carrier load of feature IDs. Repurposing the upper 16 bits still leaves a boat load of feature IDs and gains 16 bits which may be used to control patching on a per patch-site basis. This will be initially used in Zicboz's application to clear_page(), as Zicboz's block size must also be considered. In that case, the upper 16-bit value's role will be to convey the maximum block size which the Zicboz clear_page() implementation supports. cpufeature patch sites which need to check for the existence or absence of other cpufeatures may also be able to make use of this.

Parse "riscv,cboz-block-size" from the DT by piggybacking on Zicbom's riscv_init_cbom_blocksize(). Additionally check the DT for the presence of the "zicboz" extension and, when it's present, validate the parsed cboz block size as we do Zicbom's cbom block size with riscv_isa_extension_check().

The Zicboz operation (cbo.zero) operates on a block-size defined for the cpu-core. While we already have the riscv,cbom-block-size property, it only provides the block size for Zicbom operations. Even though it's likely Zicboz and Zicbom will use the same size, that's not required by the specification. Create another property specifically for Zicboz.

As pointed out in commit d374a165 ("RISC-V: fix compile error from deduplicated __ALTERNATIVE_CFG_2"), we need quotes around parameters passed to macros within macros to avoid spaces being interpreted as separators. ALT_NEW_CONTENT was trying to handle this by defining new_c has a vararg, but this isn't sufficient for calling ALTERNATIVE() from assembly with multiple instructions in the new/old sequences. Remove the vararg "hack" and use quotes.
