| | * | | | | powerpc: Enable asymmetric SMT scheduling on POWER7Michael Neuling2010-06-09

There are 3 SMT modes: SMT1 uses thread 0 SMT2 uses threads 0 & 1 SMT4 uses threads 0, 1, 2 & 3 When in any particular SMT mode, all threads have the same performance as each other (ie. at any moment in time, all threads perform the same). The SMT mode switching works such that when linux has threads 2 & 3 idle and 0 & 1 active, it will cede (H_CEDE hypercall) threads 2 and 3 in the idle loop and the hypervisor will automatically switch to SMT2 for that core (independent of other cores). The opposite is not true, so if threads 0 & 1 are idle and 2 & 3 are active, we will stay in SMT4 mode. Similarly if thread 0 is active and threads 1, 2 & 3 are idle, we'll go into SMT1 mode. If we can get the core into a lower SMT mode (SMT1 is best), the threads will perform better (since they share less core resources). Hence when we have idle threads, we want them to be the higher ones. This adds a feature bit for asymmetric packing to powerpc and then enables it on POWER7.

The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it was possible for the same device to appear on either bus. This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure, and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus. After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform drivers, the shim code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Acked-by: David S.

Other than cosmetic difference (ie. DBG() vs. pr_debug()), the implementations are identical. of_irq_to_resource() is also merged, but in this case the implementations are different. This patch drops the microblaze version and uses the powerpc implementation unchanged. The microblaze version essentially open-coded irq_of_parse_and_map() which it does not need to do. Therefore the powerpc version is safe to adopt.

The subsequent kernel may expect these CPUs to be already running, and will declare them stuck. On pseries, there's also a soft-offline (cede) state that CPUs may be in; this can also cause problems as the kexeced kernel may ask RTAS if they're online -- and RTAS would say they are. The CPU will either appear stuck, or will cause a crash as we replace its cede loop beneath it. This patch kicks each present offline CPU awake before the kexec, so that none are forever lost to these assumptions in the subsequent kernel. Now, the behaviour is that all available CPUs that were offlined are now online & usable after the kexec. This mimics the behaviour of a full reboot (on which all CPUs will be restarted).

These can be used to access the proper pt_regs structure related to the current interrupt entry (if any). In the powerpc arch code, this is used to maintain irq regs on decrementer and external interrupt exceptions. However, for the doorbell exceptions used by the msgsnd/msgrcv IPI mechanism of newer BookE CPUs, the irq_regs are not kept up to date. In particular this means that xmon will not work properly on SMP, because the secondary xmon instances started by IPI will blow up when they cannot retrieve the irq regs. This patch fixes the problem by adding calls to maintain the irq regs across doorbell exceptions.

This may or may not be the same as our linux CPU number, so using that as the "target" is no right. Instead, we sample the PIR register at boot on every processor and use that value subsequently when sending IPIs. We also use a per-cpu message mask rather than a global array which should limit cache line contention. Note: We could use the CPU number in the device-tree instead of the PIR register, as they are supposed to be equivalent. This might prove useful if doorbells are to be used to kick CPUs out of FW at boot time, thus before we can sample the PIR. This is however not the case now and using the PIR just works.

This is a workaround to let gdb work at least for now. We ensure that when context switching, we set the appropriate DBCR0 value for the new task. We also make sure that we turn off MSR[DE] within the kernel, and set it as part of the bits that get set when going back to userspace. In the long run, we will probably set the userspace DBCR0 on the exception exit code path and ensure we have some proper kernel value to set on the way into the kernel, a bit like ppc32 does, but that will take more work.

One place we do that a lot is per cpu variables. A simple example: DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, vara); unsigned long test4(int cpu) { return per_cpu(vara, cpu); } This takes 4 loads, 5 if you include the actual load of the per cpu variable: ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of paca pointer ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable sldi r3,r29,9 # get offset into paca (each entry is 512 bytes) ld r0,0(r11) # load paca pointer add r3,r0,r3 # paca + offset ld r11,64(r3) # load paca[cpu].data_offset ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable If we remove the ppc64 specific per_cpu_offset(), we get the generic one which indexes into a statically allocated array. This removes one load and one add: ld r11,-32760(r30) # load address of __per_cpu_offset ld r9,-32768(r30) # load link address of percpu variable sldi r3,r29,3 # get offset into __per_cpu_offset (each entry 8 bytes) ldx r11,r11,r3 # load __per_cpu_offset[cpu] ldx r3,r9,r11 # load per cpu variable Having all the offsets in one array also helps when iterating over a per cpu variable across a number of cpus, such as in the scheduler. Before we would need to load one paca cacheline when calculating each per cpu offset. Now we have 16 (128 / sizeof(long)) per cpu offsets in each cacheline.

This deletes them. In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume. Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for 52xx platforms have been removed. The call in the powermac cpu frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct value. This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c. The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

The VDSO gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds, using the algorithm now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds. The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every tick in update_vsyscall(). If the length of the tick is not an integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting the current time to xsecs. For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs. That means that stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick. With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to integer truncation. The result is that time appears to go backwards by 1 microsecond. To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format. (Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.) This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds. Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field. The existing __do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000 for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds. The __do_get_xsec function is then unused and is deleted. The new algorithm is now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs + (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds. That is then converted to seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with seconds = now >> 32 partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32 The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary fraction. Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions. Assuming a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least 4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most 2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors, so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this. This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather than accessing xtime directly. At present, wall_time always points to xtime, but that could change in future. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Since we don't define CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS, there are separate values for TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA, and hw_breakpoint_slots() returns 1 for both, effectively advertising instruction breakpoint support which doesn't exist. This fixes it by making hw_breakpoint_slots return 1 for TYPE_DATA and 0 for TYPE_INST. This moves hw_breakpoint_slots() from the powerpc hw_breakpoint.h to hw_breakpoint.c because the definitions of TYPE_INST and TYPE_DATA aren't available in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>. They are defined in <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> but we can't include that header in <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>, and nor can we rely on <linux/hw_breakpoint.h> being included before <asm/hw_breakpoint.h>. Since hw_breakpoint_slots() is only called at boot time, there is no performance impact from making it a real function rather than a static inline. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Instead of trying to leave MSR_SE set if the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag is set (which indicates that the process is being single-stepped by ptrace), we instead return NOTIFY_DONE in that case, which means the caller will generate a SIGTRAP for the process.
