powerpc/preempt: Don't touch the idle task's preempt_count during hotplug

2021-07-08T13:38:10Z

Powerpc currently resets a CPU's idle task preempt_count to 0 before said task starts executing the secondary startup routine (and becomes an idle task proper). This conflicts with commit f1a0a376ca0c ("sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled"). which initializes all of the idle tasks' preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED during smp_init(). Note that this was superfluous before said commit, as back then the hotplug machinery would invoke init_idle() via idle_thread_get(), which would have already reset the CPU's idle task's preempt_count to PREEMPT_ENABLED. Get rid of this preempt_count write.

powerpc: Fix is_kvm_guest() / kvm_para_available()

2021-06-25T04:47:19Z

Commit a21d1becaa3f ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it. is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is set in check_kvm_guest(). The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on configuration. That's a bug. For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a message in dmesg such as: KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return int, where 0 means success, so update that. We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs before init calls are run.

powerpc: Rename is_kvm_guest() to check_kvm_guest()

We want to reuse the is_kvm_guest() name in a subsequent patch but with a new body. Hence rename is_kvm_guest() to check_kvm_guest(). No additional changes.

powerpc/pseries: Add KVM guest doorbell restrictions

2020-07-29T11:02:10Z

KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM guest quirks and improves IPI performance for two cases: - PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure. - KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available. There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we should test for that and override the quirks.

powerpc/pseries: Use doorbells even if XIVE is available

2020-07-29T11:02:09Z

KVM supports msgsndp in guests by trapping and emulating the instruction, so it was decided to always use XIVE for IPIs if it is available. However on PowerVM systems, msgsndp can be used and gives better performance. On large systems, high XIVE interrupt rates can have sub-linear scaling, and using msgsndp can reduce the load on the interrupt controller. So switch to using core local doorbells even if XIVE is available. This reduces performance for KVM guests with an SMT topology by about 50% for ping-pong context switching between SMT vCPUs. An option vector (or dt-cpu-ftrs) could be defined to disable msgsndp to get KVM performance back.

powerpc/pseries: remove cede offline state for CPUs

2020-07-16T03:12:34Z

This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f53c39 ("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.
