The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented. POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer. This increases context switch performance by about 5% on POWER9. Signed-off-by:

The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context switch path. Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch. This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8. Signed-off-by:

There is no need to explicitly break the reservation in _switch, because we are guaranteed that the context switch path will include a larx/stcx. Comment the guarantee and remove the reservation clear from _switch. This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance. Signed-off-by:

Commit 4387e9ff25 ("[POWERPC] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bug") hard disabled interrupts over the low level context switch, because the SLB management can't cope with a PMU interrupt accesing the stack in that window. Radix based kernel mapping does not use the SLB so it does not require interrupts hard disabled here. This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance on POWER9. Signed-off-by: -

The syscall exit code that branches to restore_math is quite heavy on Book3S, consisting of 2 mtmsr instructions. Threads that don't use both FP and vector can get caught here if the kernel ever uses FP or vector. Lazy-FP/vec context switching also trips this case. So check for lazy FP and vector before switching RI for restore_math. Move most of this case out of line. For threads that do want to restore math registers, the MSR switches are still suboptimal. Future direction may be to use a soft-RI bit to avoid MSR switches in kernel (similar to soft-EE), but for now at least the no-restore POWER9 context switch rate increases by about 5% due to sched_yield(2) return performance. I haven't constructed a test to measure the syscall cost. Signed-off-by:

After bc355125 ("powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on interrupts from guest to host"), a getppid() system call goes from 307 cycles to 358 cycles (+17%) on POWER8. This is due significantly to the scratch SPR used by the hypercall check. It turns out there are a some volatile registers common to both system call and hypercall (in particular, r12, cr0, ctr), which can be used to avoid the SPR and some other overheads. This brings getppid to 320 cycles (+4%). Testing hcall entry performance by running "sc 1" in guest userspace before this patch is 854 cycles, afterwards is 826. Also a small win there. POWER9 syscall is improved by about the same amount, hcall not tested. Signed-off-by:

Currently we map the whole linear mapping with PAGE_KERNEL_X. Instead we should check if the page overlaps the kernel text and only then add PAGE_KERNEL_X. Note that we still use 1G pages if they're available, so this will typically still result in a 1G executable page at KERNELBASE. So this fix is primarily useful for catching stray branches to high linear mapping addresses. Without this patch, we can execute at 1G in xmon using: 0:mon> m c000000040000000 c000000040000000 00 l c000000040000000 00000000 01006038 c000000040000004 00000000 2000804e c000000040000008 00000000 x 0:mon> di c000000040000000 c000000040000000 38600001 li r3,1 c000000040000004 4e800020 blr 0:mon> p c000000040000000 return value is 0x1 After we get a 400 as expected: 0:mon> p c000000040000000 *** 400 exception occurred Fixes: 2bfd65e4 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Add radix callbacks for early init routines") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.7+ Signed-off-by:

The i-side 0111b machine check, which is "Instruction Fetch to foreign address space", was missed by 7b9f71f9 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine check handler"). The POWER9 processor core considers host real addresses with a nonzero value in RA(8:12) as foreign address space, accessible only by the copy and paste instructions. The copy and paste instruction pair can be used to invoke the Nest accelerators via the Virtual Accelerator Switchboard (VAS). It is an error for any regular load/store or ifetch to go to a foreign addresses. When relocation is on, this causes an MMU exception. When relocation is off, a machine check exception. It is possible to trigger this machine check by branching to a foreign address with MSR[IR]=0. Fixes: 7b9f71f9 ("powerpc/64s: POWER9 machine check handler") Reported-by:

Balbir Singh authored
Introduce a helper pgtable_gfp_flags() which just returns the current gfp flags and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT to account for page table allocation. The generic helper is added to include/asm/pgalloc.h and has two variants - WARNING ugly bits ahead 1. If the header is included from a module, no check for mm == &init_mm is done, since init_mm is not exported 2. For kernel includes, the check is done and required see (3e79ec7d arch: x86: charge page tables to kmemcg) The fundamental assumption is that no module should be doing pgd/pud/pmd and pte alloc's on behalf of init_mm directly. NOTE: This adds an overhead to pmd/pud/pgd allocations similar to x86. The other alternative was to implement pmd_alloc_kernel/pud_alloc_kernel and pgd_alloc_kernel with their offset variants. For 4k page size, pte_alloc_one no longer calls pte_alloc_one_kernel. Signed-off-by:

Currently in hpte_need_flush() if there is no batch pending we always do a global TLB flush, which is inefficient if the mm has never run on another thread. Instead do the same check that __flush_tlb_pending() does and check if a local flush is sufficient when batch->active is false. Instead of open-coding it we use mm_is_thread_local(). Signed-off-by:

The xor_vmx.c file is used for the RAID5 xor operations. In these functions altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled. The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to generate altivec code anywhere.

By default, 5% of system RAM is reserved for preserving boot memory. Alternatively, a user can specify the amount of memory to reserve. See Documentation/powerpc/firmware-assisted-dump.txt for details. In addition to the memory reserved for preserving boot memory, some more memory is reserved, to save HPTE region, CPU state data and ELF core headers. Memory Reservation during first kernel looks like below: Low memory Top of memory 0 boot memory size | | | |<--Reserved dump area -->| V V | Permanent Reservation V +-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+ | | |CPU|HPTE| DUMP |ELF | +-----------+----------/ /----------+---+----+-----------+----+ | ^ | | \ / ------------------------------------------- Boot memory content gets transferred to reserved area by firmware at the time of crash This implicitly means that the sum of the sizes of boot memory, CPU state data, HPTE region, DUMP preserving area and ELF core headers can't be greater than the total memory size. But currently, a user is allowed to specify any value as boot memory size. So, the above rule is violated when a boot memory size around 50% of the total available memory is specified. As the kernel is not handling this currently, it may lead to undefined behavior. Fix it by setting an upper limit for boot memory size to 25% of the total available memory. Also, instead of using memblock_end_of_DRAM(), which doesn't take the holes, if any, in the memory layout into account, use memblock_phys_mem_size() to calculate the percentage of total available memory.

This patch replaces __fls() by the builtin function, and modifies fls() and fls64() to use builtins instead of inline assembly For non constant calls, the generated code is doing the same: int testfls(unsigned int x) { return fls(x); } unsigned long test__fls(unsigned long x) { return __fls(x); } int testfls64(__u64 x) { return fls64(x); } On PPC32, before the patch: 00000064 <testfls>: 64: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 68: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 6c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000070 <test__fls>: 70: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 74: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 78: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000007c <testfls64>: 7c: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 80: 40 82 00 10 bne 90 <testfls64+0x14> 84: 7c 83 00 34 cntlzw r3,r4 88: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 8c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 90: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 94: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 98: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC32, after the patch: 00000054 <testfls>: 54: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 58: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 5c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000060 <test__fls>: 60: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 64: 20 63 00 1f subfic r3,r3,31 68: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000006c <testfls64>: 6c: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 70: 41 82 00 10 beq 80 <testfls64+0x14> 74: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 78: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 7c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 80: 7c 83 00 34 cntlzw r3,r4 84: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,32 88: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, before the patch: 00000000000000a0 <.testfls>: a0: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 a4: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 a8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 ac: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000b0 <.test__fls>: b0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 b4: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 b8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 bc: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000c0 <.testfls64>: c0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 c4: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 c8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 cc: 4e 80 00 20 blr On PPC64, after the patch: 0000000000000090 <.testfls>: 90: 7c 63 00 34 cntlzw r3,r3 94: 20 63 00 20 subfic r3,r3,32 98: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 9c: 4e 80 00 20 blr 00000000000000a0 <.test__fls>: a0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 a4: 20 63 00 3f subfic r3,r3,63 a8: 4e 80 00 20 blr ac: 60 00 00 00 nop 00000000000000b0 <.testfls64>: b0: 7c 63 00 74 cntlzd r3,r3 b4: 20 63 00 40 subfic r3,r3,64 b8: 7c 63 07 b4 extsw r3,r3 bc: 4e 80 00 20 blr Those builtins have been in GCC since at least 3.4.6 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/Other-Builtins.html ) Signed-off-by: -

Analysis of the assembly code shows that when using user_mode(regs), at least the 'andi.' is redone all the time, and also the 'lwz ,132(r31)' most of the time. With the new form, the 'is_user' is mapped to cr4, then all further use of is_user results in just things like 'beq cr4,218 <do_page_fault+0x218>' Without the patch: 50: 81 1e 00 84 lwz r8,132(r30) 54: 71 09 40 00 andi. r9,r8,16384 58: 40 82 00 0c bne 64 <do_page_fault+0x64> 84: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 8c: 71 2a 40 00 andi. r10,r9,16384 90: 41 a2 01 64 beq 1f4 <do_page_fault+0x1f4> d4: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) dc: 71 28 40 00 andi. r8,r9,16384 e0: 41 82 02 08 beq 2e8 <do_page_fault+0x2e8> 108: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 110: 71 28 40 00 andi. r8,r9,16384 118: 41 82 02 28 beq 340 <do_page_fault+0x340> 1e4: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 1e8: 71 2a 40 00 andi. r10,r9,16384 1ec: 40 82 01 68 bne 354 <do_page_fault+0x354> 228: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 22c: 71 28 40 00 andi. r8,r9,16384 230: 41 82 ff c4 beq 1f4 <do_page_fault+0x1f4> 288: 71 2a 40 00 andi. r10,r9,16384 294: 41 a2 fe 60 beq f4 <do_page_fault+0xf4> 50c: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 514: 71 2a 40 00 andi. r10,r9,16384 518: 40 a2 fc e0 bne 1f8 <do_page_fault+0x1f8> 534: 81 3e 00 84 lwz r9,132(r30) 53c: 71 2a 40 00 andi. r10,r9,16384 540: 41 82 fc b8 beq 1f8 <do_page_fault+0x1f8> This patch creates a local var called 'is_user' which contains the result of user_mode(regs) With the patch: 20: 81 03 00 84 lwz r8,132(r3) 48: 55 09 97 fe rlwinm r9,r8,18,31,31 58: 2e 09 00 00 cmpwi cr4,r9,0 5c: 40 92 00 0c bne cr4,68 <do_page_fault+0x68> 88: 41 b2 01 90 beq cr4,218 <do_page_fault+0x218> d4: 40 92 01 d0 bne cr4,2a4 <do_page_fault+0x2a4> 120: 41 b2 00 f8 beq cr4,218 <do_page_fault+0x218> 138: 41 b2 ff a0 beq cr4,d8 <do_page_fault+0xd8> 1d4: 40 92 00 e0 bne cr4,2b4 <do_page_fault+0x2b4> Signed-off-by:

Add --orphan-handling=warn to final link flags. This ensures we can handle all sections explicitly. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27b at build-time. Also bring existing orphan sections into the fold: - .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections. - .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32 - We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG - DWARF_DEBUG did not include all DWARF sections that can be emitted - A number of sections are unused and can be discarded.

Use a tool to check that the location of "fixed sections" are where we expected them to be, which catches cases the linker script can't (stubs being added to start of .text section), and which ends up being neater.

Very large kernels may require linker stubs for branches from HEAD text code. The linker may place these stubs before the HEAD text sections, which breaks the assumption that HEAD text is located at 0 (or the .text section being located at 0x7000/0x8000 on Book3S kernels). Provide an option to create a small section just before the .text section with an empty 256 - 4 bytes, and adjust the start of the .text section to match. The linker will tend to put stubs in that section and not break our relative-to-absolute offset assumptions. This causes a small waste of space on common kernels, but allows large kernels to build and boot. For now, it is an EXPERT config option, defaulting to =n, but a reference is provided for it in the build-time check for such breakage. This is good enough for allyesconfig and custom users / hackers. Signed-off-by:
