After looking at our system call path, Mary Brown suggested that we should put all mfspr SRR* instructions before any mtspr SRR*. To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c I tested with the following changes against the pseries_defconfig: CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n CONFIG_AUDIT=n to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting and syscall auditing. POWER6: baseline: mean = 757.2 cycles sd = 2.108 modified: mean = 759.1 cycles sd = 2.020 POWER7: baseline: mean = 411.4 cycles sd = 0.138 modified: mean = 404.1 cycles sd = 0.109 So we have 1.77% improvement on POWER7 which looks significant. The POWER6 suggest a 0.25% slowdown, but the results are within 1 standard deviation and may be in the noise.

A static branch hint will override dynamic branch prediction on recent POWER CPUs. Since we are about to use more altivec in the kernel remove the static hint in giveup_altivec that assumes a userspace task is using altivec.

Nishanth Aravamudan authored
Future releases of fimrware will enforce a requirement that DTL buffers do not cross a 4k boundary. Commit 127493d5 satisfies this requirement for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y kernels, but if !CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING && CONFIG_DTL=y, the current code will fail at dtl registration time. Fix this by making the kmem cache from 127493d5 visible outside of setup.c and using the same cache in both dtl.c and setup.c. This requires a bit of reorganization to ensure ordering of the kmem cache and buffer allocations. Note: Since firmware now limits the size of the buffer, I made dtl_buf_entries read-only in debugfs. Tested with upcoming firmware with the 4 combinations of CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_DTL.

When we kexec we look for a particular property added by the first kernel, "linux,direct64-ddr-window-info", per-device where we already have set up dynamic dma windows. The current code, though, wasn't initializing the size of this property and thus when we kexec'd, we would find the property but read uninitialized memory resulting in garbage ddw values for the kexec'd kernel and panics. Fix this by setting the size at enable_ddw() time and ensuring that the size of the found property is valid at dupe_ddw_if_kexec() time.

This patch adds support for handling IO Event interrupts which come through at the /event-sources/ibm,io-events device tree node. The interrupts come through ibm,io-events device tree node are generated by the firmware to report IO events. The firmware uses the same interrupt to report multiple types of events for multiple devices. Each device may have its own event handler. This patch implements a plateform interrupt handler that is triggered by the IO event interrupts come through ibm,io-events device tree node, pull in the IO events from RTAS and call device event handlers registered in the notifier list. Device event handlers are expected to use atomic_notifier_chain_register() and atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() to register/unregister their event handler in pseries_ioei_notifier_list list with IO event interrupt. Device event handlers are responsible to identify if the event belongs to the device event handler. The device event handle should return NOTIFY_OK after the event is handled if the event belongs to the device event handler, or NOTIFY_DONE otherwise.

For multifunction adapters with a PCI bridge or switch as the device at the Partitionable Endpoint(PE), if one or more devices below PE sets dev->needs_freset, that value will be set for the PE device. In other words, if any device below PE requires a fundamental reset the PE will request a fundamental reset.

Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions. Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions.

Commit b987812b left crash_kexec_wait_realmode() undefined for UP. Commit 7c7a81b5 defined it for UP but left it undefined for 32-bit SMP. Seems like people are getting confused by nested #ifdef's, so move the definitions of crash_kexec_wait_realmode() after the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP section. Compile-tested with 32-bit UP, 32-bit SMP and 64-bit SMP configurations.

Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes. This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores it in the exception frame. We also make xmon print the CFAR value in its register dump code. Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3 field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls. This means we don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

When we take an interrupt or exception from kernel mode and the stack pointer is obviously not a kernel address (i.e. the top bit is 0), we switch to an emergency stack, save register values and panic. However, on 64-bit server machines, we don't actually save the values of r9 - r13 at the time of the interrupt, but rather values corrupted by the exception entry code for r12-r13, and nothing at all for r9-r11. This fixes it by passing a pointer to the register save area in the paca through to the bad_stack code in r3. The register values are saved in one of the paca register save areas (depending on which exception this is). Using the pointer in r3, the bad_stack code now retrieves the saved values of r9 - r13 and stores them in the exception frame on the emergency stack. This also stores the normal exception frame marker ("regshere") in the exception frame.

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction. The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction. The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed when the context is destroyed.

This removes MMU_FTR_TLBIE_206 as we can now use CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206. It also changes the logic to select which tlbie to use to be based on this new CPU feature bit.

RTAS returns extended error codes as a hint of how long the OS might want to wait before retrying a call. If we have nothing else useful to do we may as well call back straight away. This was found when testing the new dynamic dma window feature. Firmware split the zeroing of the TCE table into 32k chunks but returned 9901 (which is a suggested wait of 10ms). All up this took about 10 minutes to complete since msleep is jiffies based and will round 10ms up to 20ms. With the patch below we take 3 seconds to complete the same test. The hint firmware is returning in the RTAS call should definitely be decreased, but even if we slept 1ms each iteration this would take 32s.

We check MSR_SF a lot in sstep.c, to decide if we need to emulate the truncation of values when running in 32-bit mode. Factor out that code into a helper, and convert it and the other uses to use MSR_64BIT. This fixes a bug on BOOK3E where kprobes would end up returning to a 32-bit address, because regs->nip was truncated, because (msr & MSR_SF) was false.
