<content type='text'>
Enabling MSR[EE] in interrupt handlers while interrupts are still soft
masked allows PMIs to profile interrupt handlers to some degree, beyond
what SIAR latching allows.

When perf is not being used, this is almost useless work. It requires an
extra mtmsrd in the irq handler, and it also opens the door to masked
interrupts hitting and requiring replay, which is more expensive than
just taking them directly. This effect can be noticable in high IRQ
workloads.

Avoid enabling MSR[EE] unless perf is currently in use. This saves about
60 cycles (or 8%) on a simple decrementer interrupt microbenchmark.
Replayed interrupts drop from 1.4% of all interrupts taken, to 0.003%.

This does prevent the soft-nmi interrupt being taken in these handlers,
but that's not too reliable anyway. The SMP watchdog will continue to be
the reliable way to catch lockups.

These are only called in one place for a given platform, so inline
them for performance.

On a 2-socket Power9 system with 32 cores/128 threads (SMT4) and 1TB
of memory running the following guest configs:

  guest A:
    - 224GB of memory
    - 56 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=28,threads=2), where:
      VCPUs 0-1 are pinned to CPUs 0-3,
      VCPUs 2-3 are pinned to CPUs 4-7,
      ...
      VCPUs 54-55 are pinned to CPUs 108-111

  guest B:
    - 4GB of memory
    - 4 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1)

with the following workloads (with KSM and THP enabled in all):

  guest A:
    stress --cpu 40 --io 20 --vm 20 --vm-bytes 512M

  guest B:
    stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 4 --vm-bytes 512M

  host:
    stress --cpu 4 --io 4 --vm 2 --vm-bytes 256M

the below soft-lockup traces were observed after an hour or so and
persisted until the host was reset (this was found to be reliably
reproducible for this configuration, for kernels 4.15, 4.18, 5.0,
and 5.3-rc5):

CPUs 45, 24, and 124 are stuck on spin locks, likely held by
CPUs 105 and 31.

CPUs 105 and 31 are stuck in smp_call_function_many(), waiting on
target CPU 42. For instance:

  # CPU 105 registers (via xmon)

CPU 42 is running normally, doing VCPU work:

  SP (7d53ff7edf50) is in userspace

It was subsequently found that ipi_message[PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION]
was set for CPU 42 by at least 1 of the CPUs waiting in
smp_call_function_many(), but somehow the corresponding
call_single_queue entries were never processed by CPU 42, causing the
callers to spin in csd_lock_wait() indefinitely.

Nick Piggin suggested something similar to the following sequence as
a possible explanation (interleaving of CALL_FUNCTION/RESCHEDULE
IPI messages seems to be most common, but any mix of CALL_FUNCTION and
!CALL_FUNCTION messages could trigger it):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
    105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
    105:   smb_mb()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  --105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |  42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  |  42: // returns to executing guest
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt;105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

This can be prevented with an smp_mb() at the beginning of
kvmppc_set_host_ipi(), such that stores to message[&lt;type&gt;] (or other
state indicated by the host_ipi flag) are ordered vs. the store to
to host_ipi.

However, doing so might still allow for the following scenario (not
yet observed):

    CPU
      X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
      X:   smp_mb()
      X:   message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
      X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
      X:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
      X:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
      X:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
     42:   ppc_msgsync()
         // STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
  -- 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
  |  42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
  | 105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
  | 105:   smb_mb()
  | 105:   message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
  | 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
  | 105:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
  |      // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
  -&gt; 42:   kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
     42: // returns to executing guest
    105:   ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
    105:   ppc_msgsnd() -&gt; 42
     42: local_paca-&gt;kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
    105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue

Fixing this scenario would require an smp_mb() *after* clearing
host_ipi flag in kvmppc_set_host_ipi() to order the store vs.
subsequent processing of IPI messages.

To handle both cases, this patch splits kvmppc_set_host_ipi() into
separate set/clear functions, where we execute smp_mb() prior to
setting host_ipi flag, and after clearing host_ipi flag. These
functions pair with each other to synchronize the sender and receiver
sides.

With that change in place the above workload ran for 20 hours without
triggering any lock-ups.

When analysing sources of OS jitter, I noticed that doorbells cannot be
traced.

POWER9 changes requirements and adds new instructions for
synchronization.

<title>powerpc: Change the doorbell IPI calling convention</title>

Change the doorbell callers to know about their msgsnd addressing,
rather than have them set a per-cpu target data tag at boot that gets
sent to the cause_ipi functions. The data is only used for doorbell IPI
functions, no other IPI types, so it makes sense to keep that detail
local to doorbell.

Have the platform code understand doorbell IPIs, rather than the
interrupt controller code understand them. Platform code can look at
capabilities it has available and decide which to use.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fixes for hypervisor doorbell handling</title>

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes
sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and
clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we
already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller).  Otherwise
if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for
an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from
going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because
of the interrupt.
