We found these warnings in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c as follows:
warning: symbol 'decrementer_max' was not declared. Should it be static?
warning: symbol 'rtc_lock' was not declared. Should it be static?
warning: symbol 'dtl_consumer' was not declared. Should it be static?
Declare 'decrementer_max' in powerpc asm/time.h.
Include linux/mc146818rtc.h in powerpc kernel/time.c where 'rtc_lock' is
declared. And remove duplicated declaration of 'rtc_lock' in powerpc
platforms/chrp/time.c because it has included linux/mc146818rtc.h.
Move 'dtl_consumer' definition after "include <asm/dtl.h>" because it is
declared there.

Rather than have KVM look up the host timer and fiddle with the
irq-work internal details, have the powerpc/time.c code provide a
function for KVM to re-arm the Linux timer code when exiting a
guest.
This is implementation has an improvement over existing code of
marking a decrementer interrupt as soft-pending if a timer has
expired, rather than setting DEC to a -ve value, which tended to
cause host timers to take two interrupts (first hdec to exit the
guest, then the immediate dec).

On PPC64, we have mftb().
On PPC32, we have mftbl() and an #define mftb() mftbl().
mftb() and mftbl() are equivalent, their purpose is to read the
content of SPRN_TRBL, as returned by 'mftb' simplified instruction.
binutils seems to define 'mftbl' instruction as an equivalent
of 'mftb'.
However in both 32 bits and 64 bits documentation, only 'mftb' is
defined, and when performing a disassembly with objdump, the displayed
instruction is 'mftb'
No need to have two ways to do the same thing with different
names, rename mftbl() to have only mftb().

There's a comment in time.h referring to CONFIG_POWER, which doesn't

Presumably the comment was referring to a CONFIG_POWER vs CONFIG_PPC,

instead we have CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_601, and these days we have
IS_ENABLED().

System call entry and particularly exit code is beyond the limit of
what is reasonable to implement in asm.
This conversion moves all conditional branches out of the asm code,
except for the case that all GPRs should be restored at exit.
Null syscall test is about 5% faster after this patch, because the
exit work is handled under local_irq_disable, and the hard mask and
pending interrupt replay is handled after that, which avoids games
with MSR.
mpe: Includes subsequent fixes from Nick:
This fixes 4 issues caught by TM selftests. First was a tm-syscall bug
that hit due to tabort_syscall being called after interrupts were
reconciled (in a subsequent patch), which led to interrupts being
enabled before tabort_syscall was called. Rather than going through an
un-reconciling interrupts for the return, I just go back to putting
the test early in asm, the C-ification of that wasn't a big win
anyway.
Second is the syscall return _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK check would go into
an infinite loop if _TIF_RESTORE_TM became set. The asm code uses
_TIF_USER_WORK_MASK to brach to slowpath which includes
restore_tm_state.
Third is system call return was not calling restore_tm_state, I missed
this completely (alhtough it's in the return from interrupt C
conversion because when the asm syscall code encountered problems it
would branch to the interrupt return code.
Fourth is MSR_VEC missing from restore_math, which was caught by
tm-unavailable selftest taking an unexpected facility unavailable
interrupt when testing VSX unavailble exception with MSR.FP=1
MSR.VEC=1. Fourth case also has a fixup in a subsequent patch.

The hdec interrupt handler is reported to sometimes fire in Linux if
KVM leaves it pending after a guest exists. This is harmless, so there
is a no-op handler for it.
The interrupt handler currently uses the regular kernel stack. Change
this to avoid touching the stack entirely.
This should be the last place where the regular Linux stack can be
accessed with asynchronous interrupts (including PMI) soft-masked.
It might be possible to take advantage of this invariant, e.g., to
context switch the kernel stack SLB entry without clearing MSR[EE].

On TOD/TB errors timebase register stops/freezes until HMI error recovery
gets TOD/TB back into running state. On successful recovery, TB starts
running again and udelay() that relies on TB value continues to function
properly. But in case when HMI fails to recover from TOD/TB errors, the
TB register stay freezed. With TB not running the __delay() function
keeps looping and never return. If __delay() is called while in panic
path then system hangs and never reboots after panic.

Today we have:

[depends on PPC32 within a choice]
config PPC_BOOK3S
def_bool y
depends on PPC_BOOK3S_32 || PPC_BOOK3S_64
config 6xx
def_bool y
depends on PPC32 && PPC_BOOK3S
6xx is therefore redundant with PPC_BOOK3S_32.
In order to make the code clearer, lets use preferably PPC_BOOK3S_32.
This will allow to remove CONFIG_6xx in a later patch.

The broadcast tick recipient can call tick_receive_broadcast rather
than re-running the full timer interrupt.
It does not have to check for the next event time, because the sender
already determined the timer has expired. It does not have to test
irq_work_pending, because that's a direct decrementer interrupt and
does not go through the clock events subsystem. And it does not have
to read PURR because that was removed with the previous patch.
This results in no code size change, but both the decrementer and
broadcast path lengths are reduced.

For SPLPAR, lparcfg provides a sum of PURR registers for all CPUs.
Currently this is done by reading PURR in context switch and timer
interrupt, and storing that into a per-CPU variable. These are summed
to provide the value.
This does not work with all timer schemes (e.g., NO_HZ_FULL), and it
is sub-optimal for performance because it reads the PURR register on
every context switch, although that's been difficult to distinguish
from noise in the contxt_switch microbenchmark.
This patch implements the sum by calling a function on each CPU, to
read and add PURR values of each CPU.

All PowerPC CPUs other than the original PPC601 have a timebase
register rather than the "real-time clock" (RTC) register that the
PPC601 (and the original POWER and POWER2 CPUs) had. Currently
we have a CPU feature bit to indicate the presence of the timebase,
but it makes more sense to use a bit to indicate the unusual
situation rather than the common situation. This therefore defines
a CPU_FTR_USE_RTC bit in place of the CPU_FTR_USE_TB bit, and
arranges for it to be set on PPC601 systems.

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement
this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h.
Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the
problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then
cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs
reg.h (for MSR_EE).
So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

Power ISAv3 adds a large decrementer (LD) mode which increases the size
of the decrementer register. The size of the enlarged decrementer
register is between 32 and 64 bits with the exact size being dependent
on the implementation. When in LD mode, reads are sign extended to 64
bits and a decrementer exception is raised when the high bit is set (i.e
the value goes below zero). Writes however are truncated to the physical
register width so some care needs to be taken to ensure that the high
bit is not set when reloading the decrementer. This patch adds support
for using the LD inside the host kernel on processors that support it.
When LD mode is supported firmware will supply the ibm,dec-bits property
for CPU nodes to allow the kernel to determine the maximum decrementer
value. Enabling LD mode is a hypervisor privileged operation so the kernel
can only enable it manually when running in hypervisor mode. Guests that
support LD mode can request it using the "ibm,client-architecture-support"
firmware call (not implemented in this patch) or some other platform
specific method. If this property is not supplied then the traditional
decrementer width of 32 bit is assumed and LD mode will not be enabled.
This patch was based on initial work by Jack Miller.

GregorianDay() is supposed to calculate the day of the week
(tm->tm_wday) for a given day/month/year. In that calcuation it
indexed into an array called MonthOffset using tm->tm_mon-1. However
tm_mon is zero-based, not one-based, so this is off-by-one. It also
means that every January, GregoiranDay() will access element -1 of
the MonthOffset array.
It also doesn't appear to be a correct algorithm either: see in
contrast kernel/time/timeconv.c's time_to_tm function.
It's been broken forever, which suggests no-one in userland uses
this. It looks like no-one in the kernel uses tm->tm_wday either
(see e.g. drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1305.c:319).
tm->tm_wday is conventionally set to -1 when not available in
hardware so we can simply set it to -1 and drop the function.
(There are over a dozen other drivers in drivers/rtc that do
this.)

This reads the timebase at various points in the real-mode guest
entry/exit code and uses that to accumulate total, minimum and
maximum time spent in those parts of the code. Currently these
times are accumulated per vcpu in 5 parts of the code:
* rm_entry - time taken from the start of kvmppc_hv_entry() until
just before entering the guest.
* rm_intr - time from when we take a hypervisor interrupt in the
guest until we either re-enter the guest or decide to exit to the
host. This includes time spent handling hcalls in real mode.
* rm_exit - time from when we decide to exit the guest until the
return from kvmppc_hv_entry().
* guest - time spend in the guest
* cede - time spent napping in real mode due to an H_CEDE hcall
while other threads in the same vcore are active.
These times are exposed in debugfs in a directory per vcpu that
contains a file called "timings". This file contains one line for
each of the 5 timings above, with the name followed by a colon and
4 numbers, which are the count (number of times the code has been
executed), the total time, the minimum time, and the maximum time,
all in nanoseconds.
The overhead of the extra code amounts to about 30ns for an hcall that
is handled in real mode (e.g. H_SET_DABR), which is about 25%. Since
production environments may not wish to incur this overhead, the new
code is conditional on a new config symbol,
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING.

to be saved and restored on vm exit and entry. Writing to VTB is not
allowed in the privileged mode.

For scalability and performance reasons, we want the tick broadcast IPIs
to be handled as efficiently as possible. Fixed IPI messages
are one of the most efficient mechanisms available - they are faster than
the smp_call_function mechanism because the IPI handlers are fixed and hence
they don't involve costly operations such as adding IPI handlers to the target
CPU's function queue, acquiring locks for synchronization etc.
Luckily we have an unused IPI message slot, so use that to implement
tick broadcast IPIs efficiently.

The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
next task to account its cputime.
These archs all put their own hooks in their context
switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.
Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
callback called in generic code right after a context switch
and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.

Time for which the hrtimer is started for decrementer emulation is calculated
using tb_ticks_per_usec. While hrtimer uses the clockevent for DEC
reprogramming (if needed) and which calculate timebase ticks using the
multiplier and shifter mechanism implemented within clockevent layer.
It was observed that this conversion (timebase->time->timebase) are not
correct because the mechanism are not consistent.
In our setup it adds 2% jitter.
With this patch clockevent multiplier and shifter mechanism are used when
starting hrtimer for decrementer emulation. Now the jitter is < 0.5%.

decrementer_check_overflow is called from arch_local_irq_restore so
we want to make it as light weight as possible. As such, turn
decrementer_check_overflow into an inline function.
To avoid a circular mess of includes, separate out the two components
of struct decrementer_clock and keep the struct clock_event_device
part local to time.c.
The fast path improves from:
arch_local_irq_restore
0: mflr r0
4: std r0,16(r1)
8: stdu r1,-112(r1)
c: stb r3,578(r13)
10: cmpdi cr7,r3,0
14: beq- cr7,24 <.arch_local_irq_restore+0x24>
...
24: addi r1,r1,112
28: ld r0,16(r1)

to:
arch_local_irq_restore

When re-enabling interrupts we have code to handle edge sensitive
decrementers by resetting the decrementer to 1 whenever it is negative.
If interrupts were disabled long enough that the decrementer wrapped to
positive we do nothing. This means interrupts can be delayed for a long
time until it finally goes negative again.
While we hope interrupts are never be disabled long enough for the
decrementer to go positive, we have a very good test team that can
drive any kernel into the ground. The softlockup data we get back
from these fails could be seconds in the future, completely missing
the cause of the lockup.
We already keep track of the timebase of the next event so use that
to work out if we should trigger a decrementer exception.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times. 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.

Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using
the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several
variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused.
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.

Since we started using the generic timekeeping code, we haven't had a
powerpc-specific version of do_gettimeofday, and hence there is now
nothing that reads the do_gtod variable in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c.
This therefore removes it and the code that sets it.
