2021-04-14powerpc/mem: Inline flush_dcache_page()Christophe Leroy1-1/+13
flush_dcache_page() is only a few lines, it is worth inlining. ia64, csky, mips, openrisc and riscv have a similar flush_dcache_page() and inline it. On pmac32_defconfig, we get a small size reduction. On ppc64_defconfig, we get a very small size increase. In both case that's in the noise (less than 0.1%). text data bss dec hex filename 18991155 5934744 1497624 26423523 19330e3 vmlinux64.before 18994829 5936732 1497624 26429185 1934701 vmlinux64.after 9150963 2467502 184548 11803013 b41985 vmlinux32.before 9149689 2467302 184548 11801539 b413c3 vmlinux32.after Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/21c417488b70b7629dae316539fb7bb8bdef4fdd.1617895813.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu

2019-11-07powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range & friends to CAlastair D'Silva1-14/+10
Similar to commit 22e9c88d486a ("powerpc/64: reuse PPC32 static inline flush_dcache_range()") this patch converts the following ASM symbols to C: flush_icache_range() __flush_dcache_icache() __flush_dcache_icache_phys() This was done as we discovered a long-standing bug where the length of the range was truncated due to using a 32 bit shift instead of a 64 bit one. By converting these functions to C, it becomes easier to maintain. flush_dcache_icache_phys() retains a critical assembler section as we must ensure there are no memory accesses while the data MMU is disabled (authored by Christophe Leroy). Since this has no external callers, it has also been made static, allowing the compiler to inline it within flush_dcache_icache_page().

On most arches having function flush_dcache_range(), including PPC32, this function does a writeback and invalidation of the cache bloc. On PPC64, flush_dcache_range() only does a writeback while flush_inval_dcache_range() does the invalidation in addition. In addition it looks like within arch/powerpc/, there are no PPC64 platforms using flush_dcache_range() This patch drops the existing 64 bits version of flush_dcache_range() and renames flush_inval_dcache_range() into flush_dcache_range().

2018-06-06powerpc/64s/radix: Fix missing ptesync in flush_cache_vmapNicholas Piggin1-3/+2
There is a typo in f1cb8f9beb ("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and ptep_set_access_flags") config ifdef, which results in the necessary ptesync not being issued after vmalloc. This causes random kernel faults in module load, bpf load, anywhere that vmalloc mappings are used. After correcting the code, this survives a guest kernel booting hundreds of times where previously there would be a crash every few boots (I haven't noticed the crash on host, perhaps due to different TLB and page table walking behaviour in hardware). A memory clobber is also added to the flush, just to be sure it won't be reordered with the pte set or the subsequent mapping access.

2018-06-03powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and ptep_set_access_flagsNicholas Piggin1-0/+13
The ISA suggests ptesync after setting a pte, to prevent a table walk initiated by a subsequent access from missing that store and causing a spurious fault. This is an architectual allowance that allows an implementation's page table walker to be incoherent with the store queue. However there is no correctness problem in taking a spurious fault in userspace -- the kernel copes with these at any time, so the updated pte will be found eventually. Spurious kernel faults on vmap memory must be avoided, so a ptesync is put into flush_cache_vmap. On POWER9 so far I have not found a measurable window where this can result in more minor faults, so as an optimisation, remove the costly ptesync from pte updates. If an implementation benefits from ptesync, it would be better to add it back in update_mmu_cache, so it's not done for things like fork(2). fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 5.2% (12400->13100).

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h. Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs reg.h (for MSR_EE).

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.
