| * | | | powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register valuePaul Mackerras2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * | | | powerpc: Save CFAR before branching in interrupt entry pathsPaul Mackerras2013-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| * | | | powerpc/eeh: Fix crash when adding a device in a slot with DDWThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo2013-01-10

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.

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.

So instead I spin all the threads in the boot wrapper (using the firmware) and have them enter the kexec stub, pre-translated at the virtual "linear" address, never touching firmware again. This works strategy works wonderfully, but I need the following patch in the kexec stub. I believe it should not effect Book3S and Book3E does not appear to be here yet so I'd love to get any criticisms up front. This patch adds two items: 1) Book3e requires that GPR4 survive the "hold" process, so we make sure that happens. 2) Book3e has no real mode, and the hold code exploits this. Since these processors ares always translated, we arrange for the kexeced threads to enter the hold code using the normal kernel linear mapping.

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.

The last two use a CPU feature section to avoid needlessly testing against the hypervisor vector if it is not the hypervisor, and vice versa.

Today ARM does not implement update_persistent_clock and makes extensive use of the class RTC system. When enabled CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC will provide a generic rtc_update_persistent_clock that stores the current time in the RTC and is intended complement the existing CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS option that loads the RTC at boot. Like with RTC_HCTOSYS the platform's update_persistent_clock is used first, if it works. Platforms with mixed class RTC and non-RTC drivers need to return ENODEV when class RTC should be used. Such an update for PPC is included in this patch. Long term, implementations of update_persistent_clock should migrate to proper class RTC drivers and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

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.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz(). Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.
