powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors: CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440 hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as well as the DAC ranges.

2010-02-17powerpc: Improve 64bit copy_tofrom_userAnton Blanchard
Here is a patch from Paul Mackerras that improves the ppc64 copy_tofrom_user. The loop now does 32 bytes at a time and as well as pairing loads and stores. A quick test case that reads 8kB over and over shows the improvement: POWER6: 53% faster POWER7: 51% faster #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #define BUFSIZE (8 * 1024) #define ITERATIONS 10000000 int main() { char tmpfile[] = "/tmp/copy_to_user_testXXXXXX"; int fd; char *buf[BUFSIZE]; unsigned long i; fd = mkstemp(tmpfile); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); exit(1); } if (write(fd, buf, BUFSIZE) != BUFSIZE) { perror("open"); exit(1); } for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) { if (pread(fd, buf, BUFSIZE, 0) != BUFSIZE) { perror("pread"); exit(1); } } unlink(tmpfile); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-02-17powerpc: Use lwsync for acquire barrier if CPU supports itAnton Blanchard
Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing his patches across other ppc64 processors. Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5 and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression. This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync method.

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: Rework /proc/interruptsAnton Blanchard
On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts. While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count. The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-02-15sh64: fix tracing of signals.Paul Mundt
This follows the parisc change to ensure that tracehook_signal_handler() is aware of when we are single-stepping in order to ptrace_notify() appropriately. While this was implemented for 32-bit SH, sh64 neglected to make use of TIF_SINGLESTEP when it was folded in with the 32-bit code, resulting in ptrace_notify() never being called. As sh64 uses all of the other abstractions already, this simply plugs in the thread flag in the appropriate enable/disable paths and fixes up the tracehook notification accordingly. With this in place, sh64 is brought in line with what 32-bit is already doing. Reported-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

2010-02-09x86, apic: Don't use logical-flat mode when CPU hotplug may exceed 8 CPUsSuresh Siddha
We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode when we have more than 8 CPUs. However, in the presence of CPU hotplug(with bios listing not enabled but possible cpus as disabled cpus in MADT), we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary when CPUs are added later. 32bit apic code can use more cleanups (like the removal of vendor checks in 32bit default_setup_apic_routing()) and more unifications with 64bit code.

Commit f71dc176aa06359681c30ba6877ffccab6fba3a6 'Make hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware subpages of the logical page. This patch corrects the error.

Both x86-32 and x86-64 with 32-bit compat use ARCH_DLINFO_IA32, which defines two saved_auxv entries. But system.h only defines AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH as 2 for CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION, not for CONFIG_X86_32. Fix that. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2010-02-09kvmclock: count total_sleep_time when updating guest clockJason Wang
Current kvm wallclock does not consider the total_sleep_time which could cause wrong wallclock in guest after host suspend/resume. This patch solve this issue by counting total_sleep_time to get the correct host boot time.

The clockevent multiplier and shift is useful information, but we only need to print it once. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-09powerpc: Clear MSR_RI during RTAS callsAnton Blanchard
RTAS should never cause an exception but if it does (for example accessing outside our RMO) then we might go a long way through the kernel before oopsing. If we unset MSR_RI we should at least stop things on exception exit. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
