[PATCH 6/6] powerpc: Implement PPR save/restore When the task enters in to kernel space, the user defined priority (PPR) will be saved in to PACA at the beginning of first level exception vector and then copy from PACA to thread_info in second level vector. PPR will be restored from thread_info before exits the kernel space. P7/P8 temporarily raises the thread priority to higher level during exception until the program executes HMT_* calls. But it will not modify PPR register. So we save PPR value whenever some register is available to use and then calls HMT_MEDIUM to increase the priority. This feature supports on P7 or later processors. We save/ restore PPR for all exception vectors except system call entry. GLIBC will be saving / restore for system calls. So the default PPR value (3) will be set for the system call exit when the task returned to the user space.

[PATCH 1/6] powerpc: Move branch instruction from ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY to caller The first instruction in ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY is 'beq' which checks for exceptions coming from kernel mode. PPR value will be saved immediately after ACCOUNT_CPU_USER_ENTRY and is also for user level exceptions. So moved this branch instruction in the caller code.

By using the compiler intrinsics instead of hand-crafted opaque inline assembler for byte-swapping, we let the compiler see what's actually happening and it gets to use lwbrx/stwbrx instructions instead of a normal load/store coupled with a sequence of rlwimi instructions to move bits around. Compiled-tested only. It gave a code size reduction of almost 4% for ext2, and more like 2.5% for ext3/ext4. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Acked-by: H.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address. This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors. Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed. It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real option.

Motivation: IBM Blue Gene/Q comes with some very strange firmware that I'm trying to get out of using in the kernel. So instead I spin all the threads in the boot wrapper (using the firmware) and have them enter the kexec stub, pre-translated at the virtual "linear" address, never touching firmware again. This works strategy works wonderfully, but I need the following patch in the kexec stub. I believe it should not effect Book3S and Book3E does not appear to be here yet so I'd love to get any criticisms up front. This patch adds two items: 1) Book3e requires that GPR4 survive the "hold" process, so we make sure that happens. 2) Book3e has no real mode, and the hold code exploits this. Since these processors ares always translated, we arrange for the kexeced threads to enter the hold code using the normal kernel linear mapping.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium. Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data: # -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from # the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the # percpu data area are created by this method. # # The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the # original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base # kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full # 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large. On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc) Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it. 32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually. Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data). The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot. Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC. This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to process which helps keep boot times on simulators down. gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be safe we may want a build time script which passes through the prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

This patch actually hooks up doorbell interrupts on POWER8: - Select the PPC_DOORBELL Kconfig option from PPC_PSERIES - Add the doorbell CPU feature bit to POWER8 - We define a new pSeries_cause_ipi_mux() function that issues a doorbell interrupt if the recipient is another thread within the same core as the sender. If the recipient is in a different core it falls back to using XICS to deliver the IPI as before. - During pSeries_smp_probe() at boot, we check if doorbell interrupts are supported. If they are we set the cause_ipi function pointer to the above mentioned function, otherwise we leave it as whichever XICS cause_ipi function was determined by xics_smp_probe().

This patch adds the logic to properly handle doorbells that come in when interrupts have been soft disabled and to replay them when interrupts are re-enabled: - masked_##_H##interrupt is modified to leave interrupts enabled when a doorbell has come in since doorbells are edge sensitive and as such won't be automatically re-raised. - __check_irq_replay now tests if a doorbell happened on book3s, and returns either 0xe80 or 0xa00 depending on whether we are the hypervisor or not. - restore_check_irq_replay now tests for the two possible server doorbell vector numbers to replay. - __replay_interrupt also adds tests for the two server doorbell vector numbers, and is modified to use a compare instruction rather than an andi. on the single bit difference between 0x500 and 0x900. The last two use a CPU feature section to avoid needlessly testing against the hypervisor vector if it is not the hypervisor, and vice versa.

There are a few key differences between doorbells on server compared with embedded that we care about on Linux, namely: - We have a new msgsndp instruction for directed privileged doorbells. msgsnd is used for directed hypervisor doorbells. - The tag we use in the instruction is the Thread Identification Register of the recipient thread (since server doorbells can only occur between threads within a single core), and is only 7 bits wide. - A new message type is introduced for server doorbells (none of the existing book3e message types are currently supported on book3s).
