When inserting SLB entries for EA above 512TB, we need to hard disable irq. This will make sure we don't take a PMU interrupt that can possibly touch user space address via a stack dump. To prevent this, we need to hard disable the interrupt. Also add a comment explaining why we don't need context synchronizing isync with slbmte.

With split pmd page table lock enabled, we don't use mm->page_table_lock when updating pmd entries. This patch update hugetlb path to use the right lock when inserting huge page directory entries into page table. ex: if we are using hugepd and inserting hugepd entry at the pmd level, we use pmd_lockptr, which based on config can be split pmd lock. For update huge page directory entries itself we use mm->page_table_lock. We do have a helper huge_pte_lockptr() for that.

Currently we do not have an isync, or any other context synchronizing instruction prior to the slbie/slbmte in _switch() that updates the SLB entry for the kernel stack. However that is not correct as outlined in the ISA. From Power ISA Version 3.0B, Book III, Chapter 11, page 1133: "Changing the contents of ... the contents of SLB entries ... can have the side effect of altering the context in which data addresses and instruction addresses are interpreted, and in which instructions are executed and data accesses are performed. ... These side effects need not occur in program order, and therefore may require explicit synchronization by software. ... The synchronizing instruction before the context-altering instruction ensures that all instructions up to and including that synchronizing instruction are fetched and executed in the context that existed before the alteration." And page 1136: "For data accesses, the context synchronizing instruction before the slbie, slbieg, slbia, slbmte, tlbie, or tlbiel instruction ensures that all preceding instructions that access data storage have completed to a point at which they have reported all exceptions they will cause." We're not aware of any bugs caused by this, but it should be fixed regardless. Add the missing isync when updating kernel stack SLB entry.

The stores to update the SLB shadow area must be made as they appear in the C code, so that the hypervisor does not see an entry with mismatched vsid and esid. Use WRITE_ONCE for this. GCC has been observed to elide the first store to esid in the update, which means that if the hypervisor interrupts the guest after storing to vsid, it could see an entry with old esid and new vsid, which may possibly result in memory corruption.

When a single-threaded process has a non-local mm_cpumask, try to use that point to flush the TLBs out of other CPUs in the cpumask. An IPI is used for clearing remote CPUs for a few reasons: - An IPI can end lazy TLB use of the mm, which is required to prevent TLB entries being created on the remote CPU. The alternative is to drop lazy TLB switching completely, which costs 7.5% in a context switch ping-pong test betwee a process and kernel idle thread. - An IPI can have remote CPUs flush the entire PID, but the local CPU can flush a specific VA. tlbie would require over-flushing of the local CPU (where the process is running). - A single threaded process that is migrated to a different CPU is likely to have a relatively small mm_cpumask, so IPI is reasonable. No other thread can concurrently switch to this mm, because it must have been given a reference to mm_users by the current thread before it can use_mm. mm_users can be asynchronously incremented (by mm_activate or mmget_not_zero), but those users must use remote mm access and can't use_mm or access user address space. Existing code makes the this assumption already, for example sparc64 has reset mm_cpumask using this condition since the start of history, see arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c. This reduces tlbies for a kernel compile workload from 0.90M to 0.12M, tlbiels are increased significantly due to the PID flushing for the cleaning up remote CPUs, and increased local flushes (PID flushes take 128 tlbiels vs 1 tlbie).

Implementing pte_update with pte_xchg (which uses cmpxchg) is inefficient. A single larx/stcx. works fine, no need for the less efficient cmpxchg sequence. Then remove the memory barriers from the operation. There is a requirement for TLB flushing to load mm_cpumask after the store that reduces pte permissions, which is moved into the TLB flush code.

The ISA suggests ptesync after setting a pte, to prevent a table walk initiated by a subsequent access from missing that store and causing a spurious fault. This is an architectual allowance that allows an implementation's page table walker to be incoherent with the store queue. However there is no correctness problem in taking a spurious fault in userspace -- the kernel copes with these at any time, so the updated pte will be found eventually. Spurious kernel faults on vmap memory must be avoided, so a ptesync is put into flush_cache_vmap. On POWER9 so far I have not found a measurable window where this can result in more minor faults, so as an optimisation, remove the costly ptesync from pte updates. If an implementation benefits from ptesync, it would be better to add it back in update_mmu_cache, so it's not done for things like fork(2). fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 5.2% (12400->13100).

This matches other architectures, when we know there will be no further accesses to the address (e.g., for teardown), page table entries can be cleared non-atomically. The comments about NMMU are bogus: all MMU notifiers (including NMMU) are released at this point, with their TLBs flushed. An NMMU access at this point would be a bug.

In the case of a spurious fault (which can happen due to a race with another thread that changes the page table), the default Linux mm code calls flush_tlb_page for that address. This is not required because the pte will be re-fetched. Hash does not wire this up to a hardware TLB flush for this reason. This patch avoids the flush for radix. >From Power ISA v3.0B, p.1090: Setting a Reference or Change Bit or Upgrading Access Authority (PTE Subject to Atomic Hardware Updates) If the only change being made to a valid PTE that is subject to atomic hardware updates is to set the Refer- ence or Change bit to 1 or to add access authorities, a simpler sequence suffices because the translation hardware will refetch the PTE if an access is attempted for which the only problems were reference and/or change bits needing to be set or insufficient access authority. The nest MMU on POWER9 does not re-fetch the PTE after such an access attempt before faulting, so address spaces with a coprocessor attached will continue to flush in these cases. This reduces tlbies for a kernel compile workload from 0.95M to 0.90M. fork --fork --exec benchmark improved 0.5% (12300->12400).

Radix flushes the TLB when updating ptes to increase permissiveness of protection (increase access authority). Book3S does not require TLB flushing in this case, and it is not done on hash.

When relaxing access (read -> read_write update), pte needs to be marked invalid to handle a nest MMU bug. We also need to do a tlb flush after the pte is marked invalid before updating the pte with new access bits. We also move tlb flush to platform specific __ptep_set_access_flags. This will help us to gerid of unnecessary tlb flush on BOOK3S 64 later. We don't do that in this patch. This also helps in avoiding multiple tlbies with coprocessor attached.

The current implementation of TID allocation, using a global IDR, may result in an errant process starving the system of available TIDs. Instead, use task_pid_nr(), as mentioned by the original author. The scenario described which prevented it's use is not applicable, as set_thread_tidr can only be called after the task struct has been populated. In the unlikely event that 2 threads share the TID and are waiting, all potential outcomes have been determined safe.

Using irq_work for processing OPAL event interrupts is not necessary. irq_work is typically used to schedule work from NMI context, a softirq may be more appropriate. However OPAL events are not particularly performance or latency critical, so they can all be invoked by kopald. This patch removes the irq_work queueing, and instead wakes up kopald when there is an event to be processed. kopald processes interrupts individually, enabling irqs and calling cond_resched between each one to minimise latencies. Event handlers themselves should still use threaded handlers, workqueues, etc. as necessary to avoid high interrupts-off latencies within any single interrupt.

Although it is often possible to recover a CPU that was interrupted from OPAL with a system reset NMI, it's undesirable to interrupt them for a few reasons. Firstly because dump/debug code itself needs to call firmware, so it could hang on a lock or possibly corrupt a per-cpu data structure if it or another CPU was interrupted from OPAL. Secondly, the kexec crash dump code will not return from interrupt to unwind the OPAL call. Call OPAL_QUIESCE with QUIESCE_HOLD before sending an NMI IPI to another CPU, which wait for it to leave firmware (or time out) to avoid this problem in normal conditions. Firmware bugs may still result in a timeout and interrupting OPAL, but that is the best option (stops the CPU, and possibly allows firmware to be debugged).

Large decrementers (e.g., POWER9) can take a very long time to wrap, so when the timer iterrupt handler sets the decrementer to max so as to avoid taking another decrementer interrupt when hard enabling interrupts before running timers, it effectively disables the soft NMI coverage for timer interrupts. Fix this by using the traditional 31-bit value instead, which wraps after a few seconds. masked interrupt code does the same thing, and in normal operation neither of these paths would ever wrap even the 31 bit value. Note: the SMP watchdog should catch timer interrupt lockups, but it is preferable for the local soft-NMI to catch them, mainly to avoid the IPI.

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.
