Map the key protection bits of the vma to the pkey bits in the PTE. The PTE bits used for pkey are 3,4,5,6 and 57. The first four bits are the same four bits that were freed up initially in this patch series. remember? :-) Without those four bits this patch wouldn't be possible. BUT, on 4k kernel, bit 3, and 4 could not be freed up. remember? Hence we have to be satisfied with 5, 6 and 7. Signed-off-by:

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys. On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits. Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys. This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free. Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

The POWER9 core supports a new feature: ASB_Notify which requires the support of the Special Purpose Register: TIDR. The ASB_Notify command, generated by the AFU, will attempt to wake-up the host thread identified by the particular LPID:PID:TID. This patch assign a unique TIDR (thread id) for the current thread which will be used in the process element entry. Signed-off-by:

In memory Collection (IMC) counter pmu driver controls the ucode's execution state. At the system boot, IMC perf driver pause the ucode. Ucode state is changed to "running" only when any of the nest units are monitored or profiled using perf tool. Nest units support only limited set of hardware counters and ucode is always programmed in the "production mode" ("accumulation") mode. This mode is configured to provide key performance metric data for most of the nest units. But ucode also supports other modes which would be used for "debug" to drill down specific nest units. That is, ucode when switched to "powerbus" debug mode (for example), will dynamically reconfigure the nest counters to target only "powerbus" related events in the hardware counters. This allows the IMC nest unit to focus on powerbus related transactions in the system in more detail. At this point, production mode events may or may not be counted. IMC nest counters has both in-band (ucode access) and out of band access to it. Since not all nest counter configurations are supported by ucode, out of band tools are used to characterize other nest counter configurations. Patch provides an interface via "debugfs" to enable the switching of ucode modes in the system. To switch ucode mode, one has to first pause the microcode (imc_cmd), and then write the target mode value to the "imc_mode" file. Proposed Approach: In the proposed approach, the function (export_imc_mode_and_cmd) which creates the debugfs interface for imc mode and command is implemented in opal-imc.c. Thus we can use imc_get_mem_addr() to get the homer base address for each chip. The interface to expose imc mode and command is required only if we have nest pmu units registered. Employing the existing data structures to track whether we have any nest units registered will require to extend data from perf side to opal-imc.c. Instead an integer is introduced to hold that information by counting successful nest unit registration. Debugfs interface is removed based on the integer count. Example for the interface: $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/imc imc_cmd_0 imc_cmd_8 imc_mode_0 imc_mode_8 Signed-off-by: -

local_t is used for atomic modifications for per-CPU data, versus re-entrant modifications via interrupts. local_t read-modify-write atomic operations are currently implemented with hardware atomics (larx/stcx), which are quite slow. This patch implements them by masking all types of interrupts that may do local_t operations ("standard" and perf interrupts). Rusty's benchmark (https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/16/450) gives the following timings for the local_t test, in nanoseconds per iteration: larx/stcx irq+pmu disable _inc 38 10 _add 38 10 _read 4 4 _add_return 38 10 There are still some interrupt types (system reset, machine check, and watchdog), which can not safely use local_t operations, because they are not masked. An alternative approach was proposed, using a CR bit to mark a critical section, which is tested in the interrupt return path, and would then branch to a fixup handler (similar to exception fixups), which re-starts the operation. The problem with this was the complexity of the fixup handler and the latency of the slow path. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2014-November/123024.htmlSigned-off-by: -

To support soft-masking of the performance monitor interrupt, a set of new powerpc_local_irq_pmu_save() and powerpc_local_irq_restore() functions are added. And powerpc_local_irq_save() implemented, by adding a new irq_soft_mask manipulation function irq_soft_mask_or_return(). Local_irq_pmu_* macros are provided to access these powerpc_local_irq_pmu* functions which includes trace_hardirqs_on|off() to match what we have in include/linux/irqflags.h. Signed-off-by:

Two new bit mask field "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_PMU" is introduced to support the masking of PMI and "IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_ALL" to aid interrupt masking checking. Couple of new irq #defs "PACA_IRQ_PMI" and "SOFTEN_VALUE_0xf0*" added to use in the exception code to check for PMI interrupts. In the masked_interrupt handler, for PMIs we reset the MSR[EE] and return. In the __check_irq_replay(), replay the PMI interrupt by calling performance_monitor_common handler. Signed-off-by:

"paca->soft_enabled" is used as a flag to mask some of interrupts. Currently supported flags values and their details: soft_enabled MSR[EE] 0 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked) 1 1 Enabled "paca->soft_enabled" is initialized to 1 to make the interripts as enabled. arch_local_irq_disable() will toggle the value when interrupts needs to disbled. At this point, the interrupts are not actually disabled, instead, interrupt vector has code to check for the flag and mask it when it occurs. By "mask it", it update interrupt paca->irq_happened and return. arch_local_irq_restore() is called to re-enable interrupts, which checks and replays interrupts if any occured. Now, as mentioned, current logic doesnot mask "performance monitoring interrupts" and PMIs are implemented as NMI. But this patchset depends on local_irq_* for a successful local_* update. Meaning, mask all possible interrupts during local_* update and replay them after the update. So the idea here is to reserve the "paca->soft_enabled" logic. New values and details: soft_enabled MSR[EE] 1 0 Disabled (PMI and HMI not masked) 0 1 Enabled Reason for the this change is to create foundation for a third mask value "0x2" for "soft_enabled" to add support to mask PMIs. When ->soft_enabled is set to a value "3", PMI interrupts are mask and when set to a value of "1", PMI are not mask. With this patch also extends soft_enabled as interrupt disable mask. Current flags are renamed from IRQ_[EN?DIS}ABLED to IRQS_ENABLED and IRQS_DISABLED. Patch also fixes the ptrace call to force the user to see the softe value to be alway 1. Reason being, even though userspace has no business knowing about softe, it is part of pt_regs. Like-wise in signal context. Signed-off-by:

Move set_soft_enabled() from powerpc/kernel/irq.c to asm/hw_irq.c, to encourage updates to paca->soft_enabled done via these access function. Add "memory" clobber to hint compiler since paca->soft_enabled memory is the target here. Renaming it as soft_enabled_set() will make namespaces works better as prefix than a postfix when new soft_enabled manipulation functions are introduced. Reviewed-by:

In powerpc/64, the arch_local_irq_disable() function returns unsigned long, which is not consistent with other architectures. Move that set-return asm implementation into arch_local_irq_save(), and make arch_local_irq_disable() return void, simplifying the assembly. Suggested-by:

arch_local_irq_disable is implemented strangely, with a temporary output register being set to the desired soft_enabled value via an immediate input, which is then used to store to memory. This is not required, the immediate can be specified directly as a register input. For simple cases at least, assembly is unchanged except register mapping. Reviewed-by:

We have always had softe in pt_regs, and accessible via PT_SOFTE, even though it is not userspace state. The value userspace sees should always be 1, because we should never be in userspace with interrupts soft disabled. In a subsequent patch we will be changing the semantics of the kernel softe value, so hard wire the value to 1 to retain the existing semantics. As far as we know nothing ever looks at it, but better safe than sorry. Signed-off-by:

The recent changes to TLB handling broke the PS3 build: arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/tlbflush.h:30: undefined reference to `.hash__tlbiel_all' Fix it by adding an fallback version of tlbiel_all() for non-native builds. It should never be called, due to checks in callers so it calls BUG(). We should probably clean it up further but this will suffice for now.

For shared processor guests (e.g., KVM), add an idle polling mode rather than immediately returning to the hypervisor when the guest CPU goes idle. Test setup is a 2 socket POWER9 with 4 guests running, each with vCPUs equal to 1/2 of real of CPUs. Saturated each guest with tbench. Using polling idle gives about 1.4x throughput. Kernel compile speed was not changed significantly. Signed-off-by:
