2013-02-15powerpc: Add helper functions for transactional memory context switchingMichael Neuling2-1/+21
Here we add the helper functions to be used when context switching. These allow us to fully reclaim and recheckpoint a transaction. We introduce a new paca field called tm_scratch to help us store away register values when doing the low level tm reclaim register save.

2013-02-15powerpc: Add new instructions for transactional memoryMichael Neuling1-0/+10
Here we define the new instructions we need for transactional memory in the kernel. This is so we can support compiling with binutils that don't support the new transactional memory instructions. Transactional memory results in two sets of architected state (GPRs/VSRs etc). treclaim allows us to read the checkpointed state (from the tbegin) so that we can store it away on a context switch. It does this by overwriting the exiting architected state, so you have to save that away before you treclaim. treclaim will also abort a transaction, so you can give a register value which contains an abort reason. trecheckpoint allows us to inject into the checkpointed state as if it were at the tbegin. It does this by copying the current architected state into the checkpointed state.

2013-02-15powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register valuePaul Mackerras3-2/+10
The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that exists on POWER7 processors. Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in guests. This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry to the guest.

2013-02-15powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry pathsPaul Mackerras1-16/+68
Some of the interrupt vectors on 64-bit POWER server processors are only 32 bytes long, which is not enough for the full first-level interrupt handler. For these we currently just have a branch to an out-of-line handler. However, this means that we corrupt the CFAR (come-from address register) on POWER7 and later processors. To fix this, we split the EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 macro into two pieces: EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 contains the part up to the point where the CFAR is saved in the PACA, and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 contains the rest. We then put EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 in the short interrupt vectors before we branch to the out-of-line handler, which contains the rest of the first-level interrupt handler. To facilitate this, we define new _OOL (out of line) variants of STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES, etc. In order to get EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 to be short enough, i.e., no more than 6 instructions, it was necessary to move the stores that move the PPR and CFAR values into the PACA into __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1 and to get rid of one of the two HMT_MEDIUM instructions. Previously there was a HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD before the prolog, which was nop'd out on processors with the PPR (POWER7 and later), and then another HMT_MEDIUM inside the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_SAVE macro call inside __EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1, which was nop'd out on processors without PPR. Now the HMT_MEDIUM inside EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 is there unconditionally and the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is not strictly necessary, although this leaves it in for the interrupt vectors where there is room for it. Previously we had a handler for hypervisor maintenance interrupts at 0xe50, which doesn't leave enough room for the vector for hypervisor emulation assist interrupts at 0xe40, since we need 8 instructions. The 0xe50 vector was only used on POWER6, as the HMI vector was moved to 0xe60 on POWER7. Since we don't support running in hypervisor mode on POWER6, we just remove the handler at 0xe50. This also changes denorm_exception_hv to use EXCEPTION_PROLOG_0 instead of open-coding it, and removes the HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD from the relocation-on vectors (since any CPU that supports relocation-on interrupts also has the PPR).

2013-01-27cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accountingFrederic Weisbecker3-6/+6
If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

Today, user space implements the interrupt controller, so we need to check on it during such a cycle.

2013-01-10powerpc/eeh: Fix crash when adding a device in a slot with DDWThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo1-0/+3
The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is not set until eeh_add_device_late is called. Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called. These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash, due to a NULL dereference. Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR) will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector. PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space. P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature supports on P7 or later processors. We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry. GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned to the user space.

2013-01-10powerpc: Disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is activeIan Munsie1-0/+9
For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address. This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors. Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed. It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real option.

2013-01-10powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bitAnton Blanchard1-0/+3
The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it. 32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually. Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data). The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot. Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC. This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to process which helps keep boot times on simulators down. gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be safe we may want a build time script which passes through the prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

2013-01-10powerpc/perf: Change PMU flag representation from decimal to hexAnshuman Khandual1-5/+5
Change the representation of the PMU flags from decimal to hex since they are bitfields which are easier to read in hex. Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
