2010-02-17powerpc: Use lwarx/ldarx hint in bit locksAnton Blanchard
This patch implements the lwarx/ldarx hint bit for bit locks. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-17powerpc: Use lwarx hint in spinlocksAnton Blanchard
Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation: > 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA > even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds. > > 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by > EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store > releasing the lock. To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex: pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in the futex spinlock code: 94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | |--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock | | | |--63.29%-- .futex_wake | | | |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per second) are: before: 1538203 ops/sec after: 2189219 ops/sec An improvement of 42% A 32 core POWER7 improves even more: before: 1279529 ops/sec after: 2282076 ops/sec An improvement of 78% Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-17powerpc: Convert global "BAD" interrupt to per cpu spuriousAnton Blanchard
I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day. Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are occurring.

2010-02-17powerpc: Add timer, performance monitor and machine check counts to ↵Anton Blanchard
/proc/interrupts With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat summaries. While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to keep a machine check summary. The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-17powerpc: Reduce footprint of irq_statAnton Blanchard
PowerPC is currently using asm-generic/hardirq.h which statically allocates an NR_CPUS irq_stat array. Switch to an arch specific implementation which uses per cpu data: On a kernel with NR_CPUS=1024, this saves quite a lot of memory: text data bss dec hex filename 8767938 2944132 1636796 13348866 cbb002 vmlinux.baseline 8767779 2944260 1505724 13217763 c9afe3 vmlinux.irq_cpustat A saving of around 128kB.

During a EEH recover, the pci_dev structure can be null, mainly if an eeh event is detected during cpi config operation. In this case, the pci_dev will not be known (and will be null) the kernel will crash with the following message: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x000000a0 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000006b8b4 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] NIP [c00000000006b8b4] .eeh_event_handler+0x10c/0x1a0 LR [c00000000006b8a8] .eeh_event_handler+0x100/0x1a0 Call Trace: [c0000003a80dff00] [c00000000006b8a8] .eeh_event_handler+0x100/0x1a0 [c0000003a80dff90] [c000000000031f1c] .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70 The bug occurs because pci_name() tries to access a null pointer.

2009-12-09sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release filesNathan Fontenot
Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to Documentation/ABI. There are no changes to any of the C code from v2 of the patch. In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system. This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate cpu probe/release. The probe/release interface provides for allowing each arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding and removing cpus to/from the system. This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts from writes to the sysfs files. The creation and use of these files is regulated by the CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the capability will have the files created.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Kernel DLPAR InfrastructureNathan Fontenot
The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call and added to the device tree. This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree updates are made.

2009-12-09powerpc/macio: Rework hotplug media bay supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's ugly and could be done better. This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest of the world so that: - Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft into the IDE driver itself - A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner variant of the previous function with the same name. - A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race conditions. - The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device, this is done just fine by the IDE code itself Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver than our old drivers/ide based one.
