| * | | | | powerpc/kexec: make masking/disabling interrupts genericMatthew McClintock2010-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now just the kexec crash pathway turns turns off the interrupts.

| * | | | | powerpc: export ppc_proc_freq and ppc_tb_freq as GPL symbolsTimur Tabi2010-10-14

To maintain consistency, ppc_proc_freq is changed to a GPL-only export. This is okay, because any module that needs this symbol should be an actual Linux driver, which must be GPL-licensed.

| * | | | powerpc/pseries/xics: Use cpu_possible_mask rather than cpu_all_maskNishanth Aravamudan2010-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current firmware only allows us to send IRQs to the first processor or all processors. We currently check to see if the passed in mask is equal to the all_mask, but the firmware is only considering whether the request is for the equivalent of the possible_mask. Thus, we think the request is for some subset of CPUs and only assign IRQs to the first CPU (on systems without irqbalance running) as evidenced by /proc/interrupts. By using possible_mask instead, we account for this and proper interleaving of interrupts occurs.

To do this a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mobility/migration, is created. In order to initiate a migration the stream id (generated by the HMC managing the system) is written to this file. After a migration occurs, and what is the majority of this code, the device tree needs to be updated for the new system the partition is running on. This is done via the ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties rtas calls which return information regarding which nodes and properties of the device tree are to be added/removed/updated.

This restores those files. To do this, we now have a hook that the cpu accounting code will call as it processes each entry from the hypervisor dispatch trace log. The code in dtl.c now uses that to fill up its ring buffer, rather than having the hypervisor fill the ring buffer directly. This also fixes dtl_file_read() to handle overflow conditions a bit better and adds a spinlock to ensure that race conditions (multiple processes opening or reading the file concurrently) are handled correctly.

| * | | | powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURRPaul Mackerras2010-09-02

This turns out to be quite confusing for users because it means that a program will often be measured as taking less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode) than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly when there are no other partitions running. This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread, regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will generally show greater user and system times when run on a multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor. On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode, we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from user mode. On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR rather than the SPURR. This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log by the time accounting code.

If we don't include support for legacy iSeries, only the first lppaca is statically allocated; the rest are dynamically allocated. If we include legacy iSeries support, then we statically allocate the first 64 lppaca structs, since the iSeries hypervisor requires that the lppaca structs be present in the data section of the kernel image, but legacy iSeries supports at most 64 cpus. With CONFIG_NR_CPUS, the kernel image size for a typical pSeries config went from: text data bss dec hex filename 9524478 4734564 8469944 22728986 15ad11a ../test-1024/vmlinux to: text data bss dec hex filename 9524482 3751508 8469944 21745934 14bd10e ../test-1024/vmlinux a reduction of 983052 bytes overall.

In future we would like to allocate them dynamically, so this abstracts out the accesses to the array, making it easier to change how we locate the lppaca for a given cpu in future. Specifically, lppaca[cpu] changes to lppaca_of(cpu). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This means it is possible for an an exception handler to execute a larx, get a reservation, decide not to do the stcx and then return back with an active reservation. If the interrupted code was in the middle of a larx/stcx sequence the stcx could incorrectly succeed. All recent POWER CPUs check the address before letting the stcx succeed so we can create a CPU feature and nop it out. As Ben suggested, we can only do this in our syscall path because there is a remote possibility some kernel code gets interrupted by an exception that ends up operating on the same cacheline. Thanks to Paul Mackerras and Derek Williams for the idea. To test this I used a very simple null syscall (actually getppid) testcase at http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c I tested against 2.6.35-git10 with the following changes against the pseries_defconfig: CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n CONFIG_AUDIT=n CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES=n CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES=y CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=9 CONFIG_PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT=n CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=n CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=n to remove the overhead of virtual CPU accounting, syscall auditing and the ftrace mcount tracers. 64kB pages were enabled to minimise TLB misses. POWER6: +8.2% POWER7: +7.0% Another suggestion was to use a larx to something in the L1 instead of a stcx. This was almost as fast as removing the larx on POWER6, but only 3.5% faster on POWER7. We can use this to speed up the reservation clear in our exception exit code. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

To keep things simple we do all the exception fixup in csum_and_copy_from_user. This wrapper function is modelled on the generic checksum code and is careful to always calculate a complete checksum even if we only copied part of the data to userspace. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 19% with this patch.

After some analysis on both POWER6 and POWER7 I came up with routine below. First we get the source aligned to a double word, ignoring any odd alignment to keep things simple. Then we do 64 bytes at a time, with an entry and exit limb of a further 64 bytes. On both POWER6 and POWER7 this should be as fast as we can go since we are limited by the latency of the adde instructions. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 11% with this patch.

This introduces two set of inlines: memblock_region_memory_base_pfn() memblock_region_memory_end_pfn() memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn() memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn() Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the programmer's intention.
