Instead of comparing the whole CPU mask every time, let's keep a counter of how many bits are set in the mask. Thus testing for a local mm only requires testing if that counter is 1 and the current CPU bit is set in the mask.

In __replay_interrupt() we take the address of a local label so we can return to it later. However the assembler turns the local label into a symbol with a name like ".L1^B42" - where "^B" is literally "\002". This does not make for pleasant stack traces. Fix it by giving the label a sensible name. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

In preparation to stop storing the full node path in full_name, remove the dependency on full_name from dlpar_attach_node(). Callers of dlpar_attach_node() already have the parent device_node, so just pass the parent node into dlpar_attach_node instead of the path. This avoids doing a lookup of the parent node by the path.

Currently in the vio.c code we use a comparision against the parent device node's full path to decide if the device is a PFO or VIO family device. Both the ibm,platform-facilities and vdevice nodes are defined by PAPR, and must have a matching device_type. So instead of using the path we can instead compare the device_type. I've checked Qemu and kvmtool both do this correctly, and all the PowerVM systems I have access to do also. So it seems to be safe. This removes the dependency on full_name, which is being removed upstream. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW. Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent load/store which may bring entries into the TLB. The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has a sync after the atomic operation.

We use mm cpumask for serializing against lockless page table walk. Anybody who is doing a lockless page table walk is expected to disable irq and only cpus in mm cpumask is expected do the lockless walk. This ensure that a THP split can send IPI to only cpus in the mm cpumask, to make sure there are no parallel lockless page table walk. Add the CAPI fault handling cpu to the mm cpumask so that we can do the lockless page table walk while inserting hash page table entries.

Now that we made sure that lockless walk of linux page table is mostly limitted to current task(current->mm->pgdir) we can update the THP update sequence to only send IPI to CPUs on which this task has run. This helps in reducing the IPI overload on systems with large number of CPUs. WRT kvm even though kvm is walking page table with vpc->arch.pgdir, it is done only on secondary CPUs and in that case we have primary CPU added to task's mm cpumask. Sending an IPI to primary will force the secondary to do a vm exit and hence this mm cpumask usage is safe here. WRT CAPI, we still end up walking linux page table with capi context MM. For now the pte lookup serialization sends an IPI to all CPUs in CPI is in use. We can further improve this by adding the CAPI interrupt handling CPU to task mm cpumask. That will be done in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Bring in the commit to rename find_linux_pte_or_hugepte() which touches arch and KVM code, and might need to be merged with the kvmppc tree to avoid conflicts.

Add newer helpers to make the function usage simpler. It is always recommended to use find_current_mm_pte() for walking the page table. If we cannot use find_current_mm_pte(), it should be documented why the said usage of __find_linux_pte() is safe against a parallel THP split. For now we have KVM code using __find_linux_pte(). This is because kvm code ends up calling __find_linux_pte() in real mode with MSR_EE=0 but with PACA soft_enabled = 1. We may want to fix that later and make sure we keep the MSR_EE and PACA soft_enabled in sync. When we do that we can switch kvm to use find_linux_pte().

The tm-resched-dscr self test can, in some situations, run for several minutes before being successfully interrupted by the context switch it needs in order to perform the test. This often seems to occur when the test is being run in a virtual machine. Improve the test by running it under eat_cpu() to guarantee contention for the CPU and increase the chance of a context switch. In practice this seems to reduce the test time, in some cases, from more than two minutes to under a second. Also remove the "progress dots" so that if the test does run for a long time, it doesn't produce large amounts of unnecessary output.

nest_imc_refc is a reference count struct, used to track number of active perf sessions using the nest units. Currently the code accesses nest_imc_refc using node_id, which is incorrect, the array is indexed by node number. Meaning in the case of sparse node ids we index off the end of the array. Fix it to use get_nest_pmu_ref() which uses the existing per-cpu variable local_nest_imc_refc.

VSX uses a combination of the old vector registers, the old FP registers and new "second halves" of the FP registers. Thus when we need to see the VSX state in the thread struct (flush_vsx_to_thread()) or when we'll use the VSX in the kernel (enable_kernel_vsx()) we need to ensure they are all flushed into the thread struct if either of them is individually enabled. Unfortunately we only tested if the whole VSX was enabled, not if they were individually enabled.

With commit aa888a74 ("hugetlb: support larger than MAX_ORDER") we added support for allocating gigantic hugepages via kernel command line. Switch ppc64 arch specific code to use that. W.r.t FSL support, we now limit our allocation range using BOOTMEM_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE. We use the kernel command line to do reservation of hugetlb pages on powernv platforms. On pseries hash mmu mode the supported gigantic huge page size is 16GB and that can only be allocated with hypervisor assist. For pseries the command line option doesn't do the allocation. Instead pseries does gigantic hugepage allocation based on hypervisor hint that is specified via "ibm,expected#pages" property of the memory node.

When running in guest mode ppc64 supports a different mechanism for hugetlb allocation/reservation. The LPAR management application called HMC can be used to reserve a set of hugepages and we pass the details of reserved pages via device tree to the guest. (more details in htab_dt_scan_hugepage_blocks()) . We do the memblock_reserve of the range and later in the boot sequence, we add the reserved range to huge_boot_pages. But to enable 16G hugetlb on baremetal config (when we are not running as guest) we want to do memblock reservation during boot.

gup_hugepte() checks if pages are present and readable, and when 'write' is set, also checks if the pages are writable. Initially this was done by checking if _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_READ were set. In addition, _PAGE_WRITE was verified for write accesses. The problem is that we have to handle the three following cases: 1/ The target defines __PAGE_READ and __PAGE_WRITE 2/ The target defines __PAGE_RW 3/ The target defines __PAGE_RO In case 1/, this is obvious In case 2/, __PAGE_READ is defined as 0 and __PAGE_WRITE as __PAGE_RW so it works as well. But in case 3, __PAGE_RW is defined as 0, which means __PAGE_WRITE is 0 and then the test returns true (page writable) in all cases. A first correction was attempted in commit 6b8cb66a ("powerpc: Fix usage of _PAGE_RO in hugepage"), but that fix is wrong: instead of checking that the page is writable when write is requested, it checks that the page is NOT writable when write is NOT requested. This patch adds a new pte_read() helper to check whether a page is readable or not. This avoids handling all possible cases in gup_hugepte(). Then gup_hugepte() is modified to use pte_present(), pte_read() and pte_write() instead of the raw flags.

__set_fixmap() uses __fix_to_virt() then does the boundary checks by it self. Instead, we can use fix_to_virt() which does the verification at build time. For this, we need to use it inline so that GCC can see the real value of idx at buildtime. In the meantime, we remove the 'fixmaps' variable.
