Prior to commit 3282a3da ("powerpc/64: Implement soft interrupt replay in C"), replayed interrupts returned by the regular interrupt exit code, which performs preemption in case an interrupt had set need_resched. This logic was missed by the conversion. Adding preempt_disable/enable around the interrupt replay and final irq enable will reschedule if needed.

The copy buffer is implemented as a real address in the nest which is translated from EA by copy, and used for memory access by paste. This requires that it be invalidated by TLB invalidation. TLBIE does invalidate the copy buffer, but TLBIEL does not. Add cp_abort to the tlbiel sequence.

Having cputable.h include mce.h means it pulls in a bunch of low level headers (e.g., synch.h) which then can't use CPU_FTR_ definitions.

Every error log reported by OPAL is exported to userspace through a sysfs interface and notified using kobject_uevent(). The userspace daemon (opal_errd) then reads the error log and acknowledges the error log is saved safely to disk. Once acknowledged the kernel removes the respective sysfs file entry causing respective resources to be released including kobject. However it's possible the userspace daemon may already be scanning elog entries when a new sysfs elog entry is created by the kernel. User daemon may read this new entry and ack it even before kernel can notify userspace about it through kobject_uevent() call. If that happens then we have a potential race between elog_ack_store->kobject_put() and kobject_uevent which can lead to use-after-free of a kernfs object resulting in a kernel crash. eg: BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6bfb Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000008ff2a0 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA PowerNV CPU: 27 PID: 805 Comm: irq/29-opal-elo Not tainted 5.9.0-rc2-gcc-8.2.0-00214-g6f56a67bcbb5-dirty #363 ...

The function create_elog_obj() returns the elog object which if used by caller function will end up in use-after-free problem again. However, the return value of create_elog_obj() function isn't being used today and there is no need as well. Hence change it to return void to make this fix complete.

It's possible to enable CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX for a pseries kernel (maybe it shouldn't be), which is then booted with qemu/slof. But if you do that the kernel crashes in draw_byte(), with a DAR pointing somewhere near INT_MAX. Adding some debug to prom_init we see that we're not able to read the "address" property from OF, so we're just using whatever junk value was on the stack. So check the properties can be read properly from OF, if not we bail out before initialising btext, which avoids the crash.

We have smp_ops->cpu_die() and ppc_md.cpu_die(). One of them offlines the current CPU and one offlines another CPU, can you guess which is which? Also one is in smp_ops and one is in ppc_md? So rename ppc_md.cpu_die(), to cpu_offline_self(), because that's what it does. And move it into smp_ops where it belongs.

arch_cpu_idle_dead() is in idle.c, which makes sense, but it's inside a CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU block. It would be more at home in smp.c, inside the existing CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU block. Note that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU depends on CONFIG_SMP so even though smp.c is not built for SMP=n builds, that's fine.

From Srikar's cover letter, with some reformatting: Cleanup of existing powerpc topologies and add coregroup support on powerpc. Coregroup is a group of (subset of) cores of a DIE that share a resource. Summary of some of the testing done with coregroup patchset. It includes ebizzy, schbench, perf bench sched pipe and topology verification. On the left side are results from powerpc/next tree and on the right are the results with the patchset applied. Topological verification clearly shows that there is no change in topology with and without the patches on all the 3 class of systems that were tested.

Lookup the coregroup id from the associativity array. If unable to detect the coregroup id, fallback on the core id. This way, ensure sched_domain degenerates and an extra sched domain is not created. Ideally this function should have been implemented in arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c. However if its implemented in mm/numa.c, we don't need to find the primary domain again. If the device-tree mentions more than one coregroup, then kernel implements only the last or the smallest coregroup, which currently corresponds to the penultimate domain in the device-tree.

Add percpu coregroup maps and masks to create coregroup domain. If a coregroup doesn't exist, the coregroup domain will be degenerated in favour of SMT/CACHE domain.

Add support for grouping cores based on the device-tree classification. - The last domain in the associativity domains always refers to the core. - If primary reference domain happens to be the penultimate domain in the associativity domains device-tree property, then there are no coregroups. However if its not a penultimate domain, then there are coregroups. There can be more than one coregroup. For now we would be interested in the last or the smallest coregroups, i.e one sub-group per DIE. Currently there are no firmwares that are exposing this grouping. Hence allow the basis for grouping to be abstract. Once the firmware starts using this grouping, code would be added to detect the type of grouping and adjust the sd domain flags accordingly.

Currently Linux kernel with CONFIG_NUMA on a system with multiple possible nodes, marks node 0 as online at boot. However in practice, there are systems which have node 0 as memoryless and cpuless. This can cause numa_balancing to be enabled on systems with only one node with memory and CPUs. The existence of this dummy node which is cpuless and memoryless node can confuse users/scripts looking at output of lscpu / numactl. By marking, node 0 as offline, lets stop assuming that node 0 is always online. If node 0 has CPU or memory that are online, node 0 will again be set as online. v5.8 available: 2 nodes (0,2) node 0 cpus: node 0 size: 0 MB node 0 free: 0 MB node 2 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 2 size: 32625 MB node 2 free: 31490 MB node distances: node 0 2 0: 10 20 2: 20 10 proc and sys files ------------------ /sys/devices/system/node/online: 0,2 /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing: 1 /sys/devices/system/node/has_cpu: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/has_memory: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/has_normal_memory: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/possible: 0-31 v5.8 + patch ------------------ available: 1 nodes (2) node 2 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 node 2 size: 32625 MB node 2 free: 31487 MB node distances: node 2 2: 10 proc and sys files ------------------ /sys/devices/system/node/online: 2 /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing: 0 /sys/devices/system/node/has_cpu: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/has_memory: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/has_normal_memory: 2 /sys/devices/system/node/possible: 0-31 Example of a node with online CPUs/memory on node 0.

Without the 2 commits, Powerpc system might crash. 1. User space applications like Numactl, lscpu, that parse the sysfs tend to believe there is an extra online node. This tends to confuse users and applications. Other user space applications start believing that system was not able to use all the resources (i.e missing resources) or the system was not setup correctly. 2. Also existence of dummy node also leads to inconsistent information. The number of online nodes is inconsistent with the information in the device-tree and resource-dump 3. When the dummy node is present, single node non-Numa systems end up showing up as NUMA systems and numa_balancing gets enabled. This will mean we take the hit from the unnecessary numa hinting faults.

Node id queried from the static device tree may not be correct. For example: it may always show 0 on a shared processor. Hence prefer the node id queried from vphn and fallback on the device tree based node id if vphn query fails.

A Powerpc system with multiple possible nodes and with CONFIG_NUMA enabled always used to have a node 0, even if node 0 does not any cpus or memory attached to it. As per PAPR, node affinity of a cpu is only available once its present / online. For all cpus that are possible but not present, cpu_to_node() would point to node 0. To ensure a cpuless, memoryless dummy node is not online, powerpc need to make sure all possible but not present cpu_to_node are set to a proper node.

As per draft LoPAPR (Revision 2.9_pre7), section B.5.3 "Run Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) Node" available at: https://openpowerfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/LoPAR-20200611.pdf ... there are 2 device tree properties: "ibm,max-associativity-domains" which defines the maximum number of domains that the firmware i.e PowerVM can support. and: "ibm,current-associativity-domains" which defines the maximum number of domains that the current platform can support. The value of "ibm,max-associativity-domains" is always greater than or equal to "ibm,current-associativity-domains" property. If the latter property is not available, use "ibm,max-associativity-domain" as a fallback. In this yet to be released LoPAPR, "ibm,current-associativity-domains" is mentioned in page 833 / B.5.3 which is covered under under "Appendix B. System Binding" section Currently powerpc uses the "ibm,max-associativity-domains" property while setting the possible number of nodes. This is currently set at 32. However the possible number of nodes for a platform may be significantly less. Hence set the possible number of nodes based on "ibm,current-associativity-domains" property. Nathan Lynch had raised a valid concern that post LPM (Live Partition Migration), a user could DLPAR add processors and memory after LPM with "new" associativity properties: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/871rljfet9.fsf@linux.ibm.com/t/#u He also pointed out that "ibm,max-associativity-domains" has the same contents on all currently available PowerVM systems, unlike "ibm,current-associativity-domains" and hence may be better able to handle the new NUMA associativity properties. However with the recent commit dbce4562 ("powerpc/numa: Limit possible nodes to within num_possible_nodes"), all new NUMA associativity properties are capped to initially set nr_node_ids. Hence this commit should be safe with any new DLPAR add post LPM. $ lsprop /proc/device-tree/rtas/ibm,*associ*-domains /proc/device-tree/rtas/ibm,current-associativity-domains 00000005 00000001 00000002 00000002 00000002 00000010 /proc/device-tree/rtas/ibm,max-associativity-domains 00000005 00000001 00000008 00000020 00000020 00000100 $ cat /sys/devices/system/node/possible ##Before patch 0-31 $ cat /sys/devices/system/node/possible ##After patch 0-1 Note the maximum nodes this platform can support is only 2 but the possible nodes is set to 32. This is important because lot of kernel and user space code allocate structures for all possible nodes leading to a lot of memory that is allocated but not used.

On Power9, a pair of SMT4 cores can be presented by the firmware as a SMT8 core for backward compatibility reasons, with the fusion of two SMT4 cores. Powerpc allows LPARs to be live migrated from Power8 to Power9. Existing software developed/configured for Power8, expects to see a SMT8 core. In order to maintain userspace backward compatibility (with Power8 chips in case of Power9) in enterprise Linux systems, the topology_sibling_cpumask has to be set to SMT8 core. cpu_smt_mask() should generally point to the cpu mask of the SMT4 core. Hence override the default cpu_smt_mask() to be powerpc specific allowing for better scheduling behaviour on Power. schbench (latency measured in usecs, so lesser is better) Without patch With patch Latency percentiles (usec) Latency percentiles (usec) 50.0000th: 34 50.0000th: 38 75.0000th: 47 75.0000th: 52 90.0000th: 54 90.0000th: 60 95.0000th: 57 95.0000th: 64 *99.0000th: 62 *99.0000th: 72 99.5000th: 65 99.5000th: 75 99.9000th: 76 99.9000th: 3452 min=0, max=9205 min=0, max=9344 schbench (With Cede disabled) Without patch With patch Latency percentiles (usec) Latency percentiles (usec) 50.0000th: 20 50.0000th: 21 75.0000th: 28 75.0000th: 29 90.0000th: 33 90.0000th: 34 95.0000th: 35 95.0000th: 37 *99.0000th: 40 *99.0000th: 40 99.5000th: 48 99.5000th: 42 99.9000th: 94 99.9000th: 79 min=0, max=791 min=0, max=791 perf bench sched pipe usec/ops : lesser is better Without patch N Min Max Median Avg Stddev 101 5.095113 5.595269 5.204842 5.2298776 0.10762713 5.10 - 5.15 : ################################################## 23% (24) 5.15 - 5.20 : ############################################# 21% (22) 5.20 - 5.25 : ################################################## 23% (24) 5.25 - 5.30 : ######################### 11% (12) 5.30 - 5.35 : ########## 4% (5) 5.35 - 5.40 : ######## 3% (4) 5.40 - 5.45 : ######## 3% (4) 5.45 - 5.50 : #### 1% (2) 5.50 - 5.55 : ## 0% (1) 5.55 - 5.60 : #### 1% (2) With patch N Min Max Median Avg Stddev 101 5.134675 8.524719 5.207658 5.2780985 0.34911969 5.1 - 5.5 : ################################################## 94% (95) 5.5 - 5.8 : ## 3% (4) 5.8 - 6.2 : 0% (1) 6.2 - 6.5 : 6.5 - 6.8 : 6.8 - 7.2 : 7.2 - 7.5 : 7.5 - 7.8 : 7.8 - 8.2 : 8.2 - 8.5 : perf bench sched pipe (cede disabled) usec/ops : lesser is better Without patch N Min Max Median Avg Stddev 101 7.884227 12.576538 7.956474 8.0170722 0.46159054 7.9 - 8.4 : ################################################## 99% (100) 8.4 - 8.8 : 8.8 - 9.3 : 9.3 - 9.8 : 9.8 - 10.2 : 10.2 - 10.7 : 10.7 - 11.2 : 11.2 - 11.6 : 11.6 - 12.1 : 12.1 - 12.6 : With patch N Min Max Median Avg Stddev 101 7.956021 8.217284 8.015615 8.0283866 0.049844967 7.96 - 7.98 : ###################### 12% (13) 7.98 - 8.01 : ################################################## 28% (29) 8.01 - 8.03 : #################################### 20% (21) 8.03 - 8.06 : ######################### 14% (15) 8.06 - 8.09 : ###################### 12% (13) 8.09 - 8.11 : ###### 3% (4) 8.11 - 8.14 : ### 1% (2) 8.14 - 8.17 : ### 1% (2) 8.17 - 8.19 : 8.19 - 8.22 : # 0% (1) Observations: With the patch, the initial run/iteration takes a slight longer time.

cpu_smt_mask tracks topology_sibling_cpumask. This would be good for most architectures. One of the users of cpu_smt_mask(), would be to identify idle-cores. On Power9, a pair of SMT4 cores can be presented by the firmware as a SMT8 core for backward compatibility reasons. powerpc allows LPARs to be live migrated from Power8 to Power9. Do note Power8 had only SMT8 cores. Existing software which has been developed/configured for Power8 would expect to see SMT8 core. Maintaining the illusion of SMT8 core is a requirement to make that work. In order to maintain above userspace backward compatibility with previous versions of processor, Power9 onwards there is option to the firmware to advertise a pair of SMT4 cores as a fused cores aka SMT8 core. On Power9 this pair shares the L2 cache as well. However, from the scheduler's point of view, a core should be determined by SMT4, since its a completely independent unit of compute. Hence allow powerpc architecture to override the default cpu_smt_mask() to point to the SMT4 cores in a SMT8 mode. This will ensure the scheduler is always given the right information.
