I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim.

Right now if we want to busy loop and not give up any time to the hypervisor we put a very large value into smt_snooze_delay. This is sometimes useful when running a single partition and you want to avoid any latencies due to the hypervisor or CPU power state transitions. While this works, it's a bit ugly - how big a number is enough now we have NO_HZ and can be idle for a very long time. The patch below makes smt_snooze_delay signed, and a negative value means loop forever: echo -1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/smt_snooze_delay This change shouldn't affect the existing userspace tools (eg ppc64_cpu), but I'm cc-ing Nathan just to be sure.

I'm not sure why we have code for parsing an ibm,smt-snooze-delay OF property. Since we have a smt-snooze-delay= boot option and we can also set it at runtime via sysfs, it should be safe to get rid of this code.

When we are crashing, the crashing/primary CPU IPIs the secondaries to turn off IRQs, go into real mode and wait in kexec_wait. While this is happening, the primary tears down all the MMU maps. Unfortunately the primary doesn't check to make sure the secondaries have entered real mode before doing this. On PHYP machines, the secondaries can take a long time shutting down the IRQ controller as RTAS calls are need. These RTAS calls need to be serialised which resilts in the secondaries contending in lock_rtas() and hence taking a long time to shut down. We've hit this on large POWER7 machines, where some secondaries are still waiting in lock_rtas(), when the primary tears down the HPTEs. This patch makes sure all secondaries are in real mode before the primary tears down the MMU. It uses the new kexec_state entry in the paca. It times out if the secondaries don't reach real mode after 10sec. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs. This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid. It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL. For the common case where a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs. This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

This adds plpar_pte_read_4_raw() which can be used read 4 PTEs from PHYP at a time, while in real mode. It also creates a new hcall9 which can be used in real mode. It's the same as plpar_hcall9 but minus the tracing hcall statistics which may require variables outside the RMO.

Author: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> On large machines we are running out of room below 256MB. In some cases we only need to ensure the allocation is in the first segment, which may be 256MB or 1TB. Add slb0_limit and use it to specify the upper limit for the irqstack and emergency stacks. On a large ppc64 box, this fixes a panic at boot when the crashkernel= option is specified (previously we would run out of memory below 256MB).

I saw this in a kdump kernel: IOMMU table initialized, virtual merging enabled Interrupt 155954 (real) is invalid, disabling it. Interrupt 155953 (real) is invalid, disabling it. ie we took some spurious interrupts. default_machine_crash_shutdown tries to disable all interrupt sources but uses chip->disable which maps to the default action of: static void default_disable(unsigned int irq) { } If we use chip->shutdown, then we actually mask the IRQ: static void default_shutdown(unsigned int irq) { struct irq_desc *desc = irq_to_desc(irq); desc->chip->mask(irq); desc->status |= IRQ_MASKED; } Not sure why we don't implement a ->disable action for xics.c, or why default_disable doesn't mask the interrupt.

We wrap the crash_shutdown_handles[] calls with longjmp/setjmp, so if any of them fault we can recover. The problem is we add a hook to the debugger fault handler hook which calls longjmp unconditionally. This first part of kdump is run before we marshall the other CPUs, so there is a very good chance some CPU on the box is going to page fault. And when it does it hits the longjmp code and assumes the context of the oopsing CPU. The machine gets very confused when it has 10 CPUs all with the same stack, all thinking they have the same CPU id. I get even more confused trying to debug it. The patch below adds crash_shutdown_cpu and uses it to specify which cpu is in the protected region. Since it can only be -1 or the oopsing CPU, we don't need to use memory barriers since it is only valid on the local CPU - no other CPU will ever see a value that matches it's local CPU id. Eventually we should switch the order and marshall all CPUs before doing the crash_shutdown_handles[] calls, but that is a bigger fix.

We ran into an issue where it looks like we're not properly ignoring a pci device with a non-good status property when we walk the device tree and instanciate the Linux side PCI devices. However, the EEH init code does look for the property and disables EEH on these devices. This leaves us in an inconsistent where we are poking at a supposedly bad piece of hardware and RTAS will block our config cycles because EEH isn't enabled anyway.

Subrata Modak reported that building a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE kernel with CONFIG_ISERIES enabled gives the following warnings: WARNING: 4 bad relocations c00000000007216e R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHEST __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c000000000072172 R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHER __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c00000000007217a R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 c00000000007217e R_PPC64_ADDR16_LO __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8 The reason is that decrementer_iSeries_masked is using LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of a kernel symbol, which creates relocations that aren't handled by the kernel relocator code. Instead of reading the tb_ticks_per_jiffy variable, we can just set the decrementer to its maximum value (0x7fffffff) and that will work just as well. In fact timer_interrupt sets the decrementer to that value initially anyway, and we are sure to get into timer_interrupt once interrupts are reenabled because we store 1 to the decrementer interrupt flag in the lppaca (LPPACADECRINT(r12) here).

Configuring a powerpc 32 bit kernel for both SMP and SUSPEND turns on CPU_HOTPLUG to enable disable_nonboot_cpus to be called by the common suspend code. Previously the definition of cpu_die for ppc32 was in the powermac platform code, causing it to be undefined if that platform as not selected. arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function 'cpu_idle': arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c:98: undefined reference to 'cpu_die' Move the code from setup_64 to smp.c and rename the power mac versions to their specific names. Note that this does not setup the cpu_die pointers in either smp_ops (request a given cpu die) or ppc_md (make this cpu die), for other platforms but there are generic versions in smp.c.

There appear to be Pegasos systems which have the rtas-event-scan RTAS tokens, but on which the event scan always fails. They also have an event-scan-rate property containing 0, which means call event scan 0 times per minute. So interpret a scan rate of 0 to mean don't scan at all. This fixes the problem on the Pegasos machines and makes sense as well. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

When we build with ftrace enabled its possible that loadcam_entry would have used the stack pointer (even though the code doesn't need it). We call loadcam_entry in __secondary_start before the stack is setup. To ensure that loadcam_entry doesn't use the stack pointer the easiest solution is to just have it in asm code.

In CONFIG_PTE_64BIT the PTE format has unique permission bits for user and supervisor execute. However on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we overload the supervisor bit to imply user execute with _PAGE_USER set. This allows us to use the same permission check mask for user or supervisor code on !CONFIG_PTE_64BIT. However, on CONFIG_PTE_64BIT we map _PAGE_EXEC to _PAGE_BAP_UX so we need a different permission mask based on the fault coming from a kernel address or user space. Without unique permission masks we see issues like the following with modules: Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch Faulting instruction address: 0xf938d040 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] Signed-off-by: Li Yang <leoli@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jin Qing <b24347@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>
