| * [SPARC64]: Optimized TSB table initialization.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes, so taking advantage of this can save many instructions compared to the simple memset() call we make now. A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara. The next trick is to be able to perform an init and a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Put it one page below the top of the 32-bit address space. This gives us ~16MB more address space to work with. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [SPARC64]: Top-down address space allocation for 32-bit tasks.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes. It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about 2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space. So support the top-down method, and we need to override the generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring. With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over 3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * [SPARC64]: Fix and re-enable dynamic TSB sizing.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases. The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged them all up here. 1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB switching to and from kernel threads. We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event. There is a big comment now in that function describing exactly how it can happen. 2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both TSB growing and TLB context changes. 3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault() we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore. While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of code is quite time critical. There are some small negative side effects to this code which can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the TSB change cross call. I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description is here for reference. This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity, incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test system. :-) Signed-off-by: David S.

| * [SPARC64]: Fix 32-bit truncation which broke sparsemem.David S. Miller2006-03-20

This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of page->flags. This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us forever. While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init() and paginig_init(): 1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG 2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set inaccurately, we shouldn't subtract pfn_base any more. 3) All the games with phys_base in the zones_*[] arrays we pass to free_area_init_node() are no longer necessary.

Instead allocate another fixed PIL number for this asynchronous cross-call. We can't use smp_call_function() because this thing is invoked with interrupts disabled and a few spinlocks held.

| * [SPARC64]: More SUN4V cpu mondo bug fixing.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cpu mondo sending interface isn't all that easy to use correctly... We were clearing out the wrong bits from the "mask" after getting something other than EOK from the hypervisor. It turns out the hypervisor can just be resent the same cpu_list[] array, with the 0xffff "done" entries still in there, and it will do the right thing. So don't update or try to rebuild the cpu_list[] array to condense it. This requires the "forward_progress" check to be done slightly differently, but this new scheme is less bug prone than what we were doing before. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * [SPARC64]: Fix bugs in SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch.David S. Miller2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were several bugs in the SUN4V cpu mondo dispatch code. In fact, if we ever got a EWOULDBLOCK or other error from the hypervisor call, we'd potentially send a cpu mondo multiple times to the same cpu and even worse we could loop until the timeout resending the same mondo over and over to such cpus. So let's bulletproof this thing as follows: 1) Implement cpu_mondo_send() and cpu_state() hypervisor calls in arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S, add prototypes to asm/hypervisor.h 2) Don't build and update the cpulist using inline functions, this was causing the cpu mask to not get updated in the caller. 3) Disable interrupts during the entire mondo send, otherwise our cpu list and/or mondo block could get overwritten if we take an interrupt and do a cpu mondo send on the current cpu. 4) Check for all possible error return types from the cpu_mondo_send() hypervisor call. In particular: HV_EOK) Our work is done, all cpus have received the mondo. HV_CPUERROR) One or more of the cpus in the cpu list we passed to the hypervisor are in error state. Use cpu_state() calls over the entries in the cpu list to see which ones. Record them in "error_mask" and report this after we are done sending the mondo to cpus which are not in error state. HV_EWOULDBLOCK) We need to keep trying. Any other error we consider fatal, we report the event and exit immediately. 5) We only timeout if forward progress is not made. Forward progress is defined as having at least one cpu get the mondo successfully in a given cpu_mondo_send() call. Otherwise we bump a counter and delay a little. If the counter hits a limit, we signal an error and report the event. Also, smp_call_function_mask() error handling reports the number of cpus incorrectly. Signed-off-by: David S.
