All users of this prrn_is_enabled() are gone; remove it. Signed-off-by:

Nathan Lynch authored
prrn_is_enabled() always returns false/0, so handle_rtas_event() can be simplified and some dead code can be removed. Use machine_is() instead of #ifdef to run this code only on pseries, and add an informational ratelimited message that we are ignoring the events. PRRN events are relatively rare in normal operation and usually arise from operator-initiated actions such as a DPO (Dynamic Platform Optimizer) run. Eventually we do want to consume these events and update the device tree, but that needs more care to be safe vs LPM and DLPAR. Signed-off-by:

timed_topology_update is a no-op now, so remove it and all call sites. Signed-off-by:

Previous changes have removed the code which sets bits in cpu_associativity_changes_mask and thus it is never modifed at runtime. From this we can reason that numa_update_cpu_topology() always returns 0 without doing anything. Remove the body of numa_update_cpu_topology() and remove all code which becomes unreachable as a result. Signed-off-by:

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function: * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition resumes execution Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two states before a partition suspension can proceed. This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac ("powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads. With commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN; stopped threads can be left alone.

This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), which added an offline mode for CPUs which uses the H_CEDE hcall instead of the architected stop-self RTAS function in order to facilitate "folding" of dedicated mode processors on PowerVM platforms to achieve energy savings. This has been the default offline mode since its introduction. There's nothing about stop-self that would prevent the hypervisor from achieving the energy savings available via H_CEDE, so the original premise of this change appears to be flawed. I also have encountered the claim that the transition to and from ceded state is much faster than stop-self/start-cpu. Certainly we would not want to use stop-self as an *idle* mode. That is what H_CEDE is for. However, this difference is insignificant in the context of Linux CPU hotplug, where the latency of an offline or online operation on current systems is on the order of 100ms, mainly attributable to all the various subsystems' cpuhp callbacks. The cede offline mode also prevents accurate accounting, as discussed before: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1571740391-3251-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ Unconditionally use stop-self to offline processor threads. This is the architected method for offlining CPUs on PAPR systems. The "cede_offline" boot parameter is rendered obsolete. Removing this code enables the removal of the partition suspend code which temporarily onlines all present CPUs.

Branch cache flushing code patching has inter-dependencies on both the link stack and the count cache flushing state. To make the code clearer and to separate the link stack and count cache handling, split the "toggle" (setting up variables and printing enable/disable) from the code patching. Signed-off-by:

When a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable fault loads registers and enables the facility in the MSR, re-set the lazy restore counters to 1 rather than incrementing them so every fault gets the same number of restores before the next fault. This probably shouldn't be a practical change because if a lazy counter was non-zero then it should have been restored and would not cause a fault when userspace tries to access it. However the code and comment implies otherwise so that's misleading and unnecessary. Signed-off-by:

Nicholas Piggin authored
Before returning to user, if there are missing FP/VEC/VSX bits from the user MSR then those registers had been saved and must be restored again before use. restore_math will decide whether to restore immediately, or skip the restore and let fp/vec/vsx unavailable faults demand load the registers. Each time restore_math restores one of the FP/VSX or VEC register sets is loaded, an 8-bit counter is incremented (load_fp and load_vec). When these wrap to zero, restore_math no longer restores that register set until after they are next demand faulted. It's quite usual for those counters to have different values, so if one wraps to zero and restore_math no longer restores its registers or user MSR bit but the other is not zero yet does not need to be restored (because the kernel is not frequently using the FPU), then restore_math will be called and it will also not return in the early exit check. This causes msr_check_and_set to test and set the MSR at every kernel exit despite having no work to do. This can cause workloads (e.g., a NULL syscall microbenchmark) to run fast for a time while both counters are non-zero, then slow down when one of the counters reaches zero, then speed up again after the second counter reaches zero. The cost is significant, about 10% slowdown on a NULL syscall benchmark, and the jittery behaviour is very undesirable. Fix this by having restore_math test all conditions first, and only update MSR if we will be loading registers. Signed-off-by:

The TM test in restore_math added by commit dc16b553 ("powerpc: Always restore FPU/VEC/VSX if hardware transactional memory in use") is no longer necessary after commit a8318c13 ("powerpc/tm: Fix restoring FP/VMX facility incorrectly on interrupts"), which removed the cases where restore_math has to restore if TM is active.

With kernel now supporting new pmem flush/sync instructions, we can now enable the kernel to initialize the device. On P10 these devices would appear with a new compatible string. For PAPR device we have compatible "ibm,pmemory-v2" and for OF pmem device we have compatible "pmem-region-v2" Signed-off-by:

-
Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps instructions have updated persistent storage before any data access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated. This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb() Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for the platform buffer flush.

Start using dcbstps; phwsync; sequence for flushing persistent memory range. The new instructions are implemented as a variant of dcbf and hwsync and on P8 and P9 they will be executed as those instructions. We avoid using them on older hardware. This helps to avoid difficult to debug bugs. Signed-off-by:

POWER10 introduces two new variants of dcbf instructions (dcbstps and dcbfps) that can be used to write modified locations back to persistent storage. Additionally, POWER10 also introduce phwsync and plwsync which can be used to establish order of these writes to persistent storage. This patch exposes these instructions to the rest of the kernel. The existing dcbf and hwsync instructions in P8 and P9 are adequate to enable appropriate synchronization with OpenCAPI-hosted persistent storage. Hence the new instructions are added as a variant of the old ones that old hardware won't differentiate. Signed-off-by:

The PAPR based virtualized persistent memory devices are only supported on POWER9 and above. In the followup patch, the kernel will switch the persistent memory cache flush functions to use a new `dcbf` variant instruction. The new instructions even though added in ISA 3.1 works even on P8 and P9 because these are implemented as a variant of existing `dcbf` and `hwsync` and on P8 and P9 behaves as such. Considering these devices are only supported on P8 and above, update the driver to prevent a P7-compat guest from using persistent memory devices. We don't update of_pmem driver with the same condition, because, on bare-metal, the firmware enables pmem support only on P9 and above. There the kernel depends on OPAL firmware to restrict exposing persistent memory related device tree entries on older hardware. of_pmem.ko is written without any arch dependency and we don't want to add ppc64 specific cpu feature check in of_pmem driver.

Make GTSE an MMU feature and enable it by default for radix. However for guest, conditionally enable it if hypervisor supports it via OV5 vector. Let prom_init ask for radix GTSE only if the support exists. Having GTSE as an MMU feature will make it easy to enable radix without GTSE. Currently radix assumes GTSE is enabled by default.

save_general_regs() which does special handling when i == PT_SOFTE. Rewrite it to minimise the specific part, especially the __put_user() and associated error handling is the same so make it common. Signed-off-by:
-
Christophe Leroy authored
Since commit ("1bd79336 powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs"), getting save_general_regs() called without FULL_REGS() is very unlikely and generates a warning. The 32-bit version of save_general_regs() doesn't take care of it at all and copies all registers anyway since that commit. Moreover, commit 965dd3ad ("powerpc/64/syscall: Remove non-volatile GPR save optimisation") is another reason why it would never happen. So the same with 64-bit, don't worry about FULL_REGS() and copy all registers all the time. Signed-off-by: -

Documentation wrongly tells that book3s/32 CPU have hash MMU. 603 and e300 core only have software loaded TLB. 755, 7450 family and e600 core have both hash MMU and software loaded TLB. This can be selected by setting a bit in HID2 (755) or HID0 (others). At the time being this is not supported by the kernel. Make this explicit in the documentation. Signed-off-by:
