powerpc/64s: Improve RFI L1-D cache flush fallback

2018-01-23T05:16:33+00:00

The fallback RFI flush is used when firmware does not provide a way to flush the cache. It's a "displacement flush" that evicts useful data by displacing it with an uninteresting buffer. The flush has to take care to work with implementation specific cache replacment policies, so the recipe has been in flux. The initial slow but conservative approach is to touch all lines of a congruence class, with dependencies between each load. It has since been determined that a linear pattern of loads without dependencies is sufficient, and is significantly faster. Measuring the speed of a null syscall with RFI fallback flush enabled gives the relative improvement: P8 - 1.83x P9 - 1.75x The flush also becomes simpler and more adaptable to different cache geometries.

powerpc/xmon: Do not compute/store the major opcode

2018-01-21T12:37:43+00:00

In commit 5b102782c7f4 ("powerpc/xmon: Enable disassembly files (compilation changes)") usage of variable `op` has been removed. Completely remove opcode computation since not used anymore. Fix fatal warning: arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c: In function ‘lookup_powerpc’: arch/powerpc/xmon/ppc-dis.c:96:17: error: variable ‘op’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable] unsigned long op; ^~ Signed-off-by: Mathieu Malaterre Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Merge branch 'fixes' into next

2018-01-21T12:21:14+00:00

Merge our fixes branch from the 4.15 cycle. Unusually the fixes branch saw some significant features merged, notably the RFI flush patches, so we want the code in next to be tested against that, to avoid any surprises when the two are merged. There's also some other work on the panic handling that was reverted in fixes and we now want to do properly in next, which would conflict. And we also fix a few other minor merge conflicts.

powerpc/64: Rename soft_enabled to irq_soft_mask

2018-01-19T11:37:01+00:00

Rename the paca->soft_enabled to paca->irq_soft_mask as it is no longer used as a flag for interrupt state, but a mask. Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/xmon: Don't print hashed pointers in paca dump

2018-01-10T14:17:24+00:00

Remember when the biggest problem we had to worry about was hashed pointers, those were the days. These were missed in my earlier patch because they don't match "%p", but the macro is hiding a "%p", so these all end up being hashed, which is not what we want in xmon. Convert them to "%px".

powerpc/xmon: Don't print hashed pointers in xmon

2017-12-06T13:27:01+00:00

Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") pointers printed with %p are hashed, ie. you don't see the actual pointer value but rather a cryptographic hash of its value. In xmon we want to see the actual pointer values, because xmon is a debugger, so replace %p with %px which prints the actual pointer value. We justify doing this in xmon because 1) xmon is a kernel crash debugger, it's only accessible via the console 2) xmon doesn't print to dmesg, so the pointers it prints are not able to be leaked that way.

2017-11-16T20:47:46+00:00

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle. Non-highlights: - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line with x86. Highlights: - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc. - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver. - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery. - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM to notify the Linux partition of topology changes. - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND). - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on some Power9 revisions. - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users. - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API. - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are using transactional memory. - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on Power9. - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver handles requests. - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

powerpc/xmon: Support dumping software pagetables

2017-11-08T11:04:10+00:00

It would be nice to be able to dump page tables in a particular context. eg: dumping vmalloc space: 0:mon> dv 0xd00037fffff00000 pgd @ 0xc0000000017c0000 pgdp @ 0xc0000000017c00d8 = 0x00000000f10b1000 pudp @ 0xc0000000f10b13f8 = 0x00000000f10d0000 pmdp @ 0xc0000000f10d1ff8 = 0x00000000f1102000 ptep @ 0xc0000000f1102780 = 0xc0000000f1ba018e Maps physical address = 0x00000000f1ba0000 Flags = Accessed Dirty Read Write This patch does not replicate the complex code of dump_pagetable and has no support for bolted linear mapping, thats why I've it's called dump virtual page table support. The format of the PTE can be expanded even further to add more useful information about the flags in the PTE if required.

powerpc/64s: Replace CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 with CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64

2017-11-06T05:48:14+00:00

CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 indicates support for the "standard" powerpc MMU on 64-bit CPUs. The "standard" MMU refers to the hash page table MMU found in "server" processors, from IBM mainly. Currently CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is == CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64. While it's annoying to have two symbols that always have the same value, it's not quite annoying enough to bother removing one. However with the arrival of Power9, we now have the situation where CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64 is enabled, but the kernel is running using the Radix MMU - *not* the "standard" MMU. So it is now actively confusing to use it, because it implies that code is disabled or inactive when the Radix MMU is in use, however that is not necessarily true. So s/CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64/CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64/, and do some minor formatting updates of some of the affected lines. This will be a pain for backports, but c'est la vie.
