2011-12-19powerpc: Fix wrong divisor in usecs_to_cputimeAndreas Schwab
Commit d57af9b (taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times) renamed msecs_to_cputime to usecs_to_cputime, but failed to update all numbers on the way. This causes nonsensical cpu idle/iowait values to be displayed in /proc/stat (the only user of usecs_to_cputime so far). This also renames __cputime_msec_factor to __cputime_usec_factor, adapting its value and using it directly in cputime_to_usecs instead of doing two multiplications.

2011-12-19powerpc: Add __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ to asm/types.h for LL64Matt Evans
PPC64 uses long long for u64 in the kernel, but powerpc's asm/types.h prevents 64-bit userland from seeing this definition, instead defaulting to u64 == long in userspace. Some user programs (e.g. kvmtool) may actually want LL64, so this patch adds a check for __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ so that, if defined, int-ll64.h is included instead.

2011-12-19powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMXAnton Blanchard
Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX. For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster. If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps things relatively simple and easy to verify. On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles. Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector is an L1 miss. Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and stores are aligned. We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit the same cacheline. Based on this, the new loop does the following things: 1 - 127 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty boring and similar to how the current loop works. 128 - 4095 bytes Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores, 1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline. Even so it is much better than the loop we have today. 4096 - bytes If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both 16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX. If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads. In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline sized chunks. To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to sleep. The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark: - Best case - userspace never uses VMX - Worst case - userspace always uses VMX In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to win is: 0% VMX aligned 2048 bytes unaligned 2048 bytes 100% VMX aligned 16384 bytes unaligned 8192 bytes Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints. Some future optimisations we can look at: - Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86 optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie: /* * If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full * restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the * chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now */ preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5; and /* * fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches * that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu * saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char * so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns * lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for * a short time */ - We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec. That should help with iovec based system calls like readv. - We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly. - One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.

2011-12-16powerpc/pmac: Simplify old pmac PIC interrupt handlingBenjamin Herrenschmidt
In the old days, we treated all interrupts from the legacy Apple home made interrupt controllers as level, with a trick reading the "level" register along with the "event" register to work arounds bugs where it would occasionally fail to latch some events. Doing so appeared to work fine for both level and edge interrupts. Later on, we discovered in Darwin source the magic masks that define which interrupts are actually level and which are edge, and implemented a different algorithm, more similar to what Apple does, that treats those differently. I recently discovered however that this caused problems (including loss of interrupts) with an old Wallstreet PowerBook when trying to use the internal modem (connected to a cascaded controller). It looks like some interrupts are treated as edge while they are really level and I'm starting to seriously doubt the correctness of the Darwin code (which has other obvious bugs when you read it, so ...) This patch reverts to our original behaviour of treating everything as a level interrupt. It appears to solve the problems with the modem on the Wallstreet and everything else seems to be working properly as well. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-12-16tty/serial/pmac_zilog: Fix suspend & resumeBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch reworks & simplifies pmac_zilog handling of suspend/resume, essentially removing all the specific code in there and using the generic uart helpers. This required properly registering the tty as a child of the macio (or platform) device, so I had to delay the registration a bit (we used to register the ports very very early). We still register the kernel console early though. I removed a couple of unused or useless flags as well, relying on the core to not call us when asleep. I also removed the essentially useless interrupt mutex, simplifying the locking a bit. I removed some code for handling unexpected interrupt which should never be hit and could potentially be harmful (causing us to access a register on a powered off SCC). We diable port interrupts on close always so there should be no need to drain data on a closed port. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The upcomming currituck patches will need to do 64-bit shifts which will fail with undefined symbol without this patch. I looked at linking against libgcc but we can't guarantee that libgcc was compiled with soft-float. Also Using ../lib/div64.S or ../kernel/misc_32.S, this will break the build as the .o's need to be built with different flags for the bootwrapper vs the kernel.

2011-12-08powerpc/nvram: Add spinlock to oops_to_nvram to prevent oops in compression ↵Anton Blanchard
code. When issuing a system reset we almost always oops in the oops_to_nvram code because multiple CPUs are using the deflate work area. Add a spinlock to protect it. To play it safe I'm using trylock to avoid locking up if the NVRAM code oopses. This means we might miss multiple CPUs oopsing at exactly the same time but I think it's best to play it safe for now. Once we are happy with the reliability we can change it to a full spinlock.

2011-12-08pmac_zilog: Fix unexpected irqFinn Thain
On most 68k Macs the SCC IRQ is an autovector interrupt and cannot be masked. This can be a problem when pmac_zilog starts up. For example, the serial debugging code in arch/m68k/kernel/head.S may be used beforehand. It disables the SCC interrupts at the chip but doesn't ack them. Then when a pmac_zilog port is used, the machine locks up with "unexpected interrupt". This can happen in pmz_shutdown() since the irq is freed before the channel interrupts are disabled. Fix this by clearing interrupt enable bits before the handler is uninstalled. Also move the interrupt control bit flipping into a separate pmz_interrupt_control() routine. Replace all instances of these operations with calls to this routine. Omit the zssync() calls that seem to serve no purpose.

2011-12-08powerpc: Provide a way for KVM to indicate that NV GPR values are lostPaul Mackerras
This fixes a problem where a CPU thread coming out of nap mode can think it has valid values in the nonvolatile GPRs (r14 - r31) as saved away in power7_idle, but in fact the values have been trashed because the thread was used for KVM in the mean time. The result is that the thread crashes because code that called power7_idle (e.g., pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self()) goes to use values in registers that have been trashed. The bit field in SRR1 that tells whether state was lost only reflects the most recent nap, which may not have been the nap instruction in power7_idle. So we need an extra PACA field to indicate that state has been lost even if SRR1 indicates that the most recent nap didn't lose state. We clear this field when saving the state in power7_idle, we set it to a non-zero value when we use the thread for KVM, and we test it in power7_wakeup_noloss.

2011-12-08powerpc/powernv: Fix problems in onlining CPUsPaul Mackerras
At present, on the powernv platform, if you off-line a CPU that was online, and then try to on-line it again, the kernel generates a warning message "OPAL Error -1 starting CPU n". Furthermore, if the CPU is a secondary thread that was used by KVM while it was off-line, the CPU fails to come online. The first problem is fixed by only calling OPAL to start the CPU the first time it is on-lined, as indicated by the cpu_start field of its PACA being zero. The second problem is fixed by restoring the cpu_start field to 1 instead of 0 when using the CPU within KVM.

The minimum RMO size field in ibm,client-architecture is currently ignored, but a future firmware version will rectify that. Since we always get at least 128MB of RMO right now, asking for 64MB is likely to result in boot failures. We should bump it to at least 128MB, but considering all the boot issues we have on 128MB RMO boxes and all new machines have virtual RMO, we may as well set our minimum to 256MB.

We've had a 180 second panic timeout on ppc64 for as long as I can remember. This patch reduces it to 10 seconds on pseries for a few reasons: - Almost all pseries machines have a hypervisor console so panic output will be available in a scrollback buffer. - The 180 seconds impacts our availability, users (other than kernel hackers) just want the box to come back around so it can continue its work. - I spend a lot of my life staring at the 180 second panic timeout. Many pseries machines take minutes to power cycle, so it's quicker to sit through the 180 seconds than it is to power cycle.

As a first step, this patch removes the old system reset code. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-12-08powerpc: Give us time to get all oopses out before panickingAnton Blanchard
I've been seeing truncated output when people send system reset info to me. We should see a backtrace for every CPU, but the panic() code takes the box down before they all make it out to the console. The panic code runs unlocked so we also see corrupted console output. If we are going to panic, then delay 1 second before calling into the panic code. Move oops_exit inside the die lock and put a newline between oopses for clarity.

2011-12-08powerpc/cpuidle: Handle power_save=offDeepthi Dharwar
This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created and the required drivers are not loaded.
