As with the other patches in this series, we are removing the "PSERIES" from the name as it's no longer meaningful. In this case it's not simply a case of removing the "PSERIES" as that would result in a clash with the existing EXCEPTION_PROLOG_1. Instead we name this one EXCEPTION_PROLOG_2, as it's usually used in sequence after 0 and 1. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The "PSERIES" in STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES is to differentiate the macros from the legacy iSeries versions, which are called STD_EXCEPTION_ISERIES. It is not anything to do with pseries vs powernv or powermac etc. We removed the legacy iSeries code in 2012, in commit 8ee3e0d6x ("powerpc: Remove the main legacy iSerie platform code"). So remove "PSERIES" from the macros. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte. This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do. On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings. strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values: Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c): len 256 : time = 1.195055 len 016 : time = 0.083745 len 008 : time = 0.046828 len 004 : time = 0.028390 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation On a 832x: Before the patch: len 256 : time = 0.236125 len 016 : time = 0.018136 len 008 : time = 0.011000 len 004 : time = 0.007229 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment len 004 : time = 0.008784 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This patch adds a test for strlen() string.c contains a copy of strlen() from lib/string.c The test first tests the correctness of strlen() by comparing the result with libc strlen(). It tests all cases of alignment. It them tests the duration of an aligned strlen() on a 4 bytes string, on a 16 bytes string and on a 256 bytes string.

rtas_log_buf is a buffer to hold RTAS event data that are communicated to kernel by hypervisor. This buffer is then used to pass RTAS event data to user through proc fs. This buffer is allocated from vmalloc (non-linear mapping) area. On Machine check interrupt, register r3 points to RTAS extended event log passed by hypervisor that contains the MCE event. The pseries machine check handler then logs this error into rtas_log_buf. The rtas_log_buf is a vmalloc-ed (non-linear) buffer we end up taking up a page fault (vector 0x300) while accessing it. Since machine check interrupt handler runs in NMI context we can not afford to take any page fault. Page faults are not honored in NMI context and causes kernel panic. Apart from that, as Nick pointed out, pSeries_log_error() also takes a spin_lock while logging error which is not safe in NMI context. It may endup in deadlock if we get another MCE before releasing the lock. Fix this by deferring the logging of rtas error to irq work queue. Current implementation uses two different buffers to hold rtas error log depending on whether extended log is provided or not. This makes bit difficult to identify which buffer has valid data that needs to logged later in irq work. Simplify this using single buffer, one per paca, and copy rtas log to it irrespective of whether extended log is provided or not. Allocate this buffer below RMA region so that it can be accessed in real mode mce handler.

The global mce data buffer that used to copy rtas error log is of 2048 (RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX) bytes in size. Before the copy we read extended_log_length from rtas error log header, then use max of extended_log_length and RTAS_ERROR_LOG_MAX as a size of data to be copied. Ideally the platform (phyp) will never send extended error log with size > 2048. But if that happens, then we have a risk of buffer overrun and corruption. Fix this by using min_t instead.

The kernel page table caches are tied to init_mm, so there is no more need for them after userspace is finished. destroy_context() gets called when we drop the last reference for an mm, which can be much later than the task exit due to other lazy mm references to it. We can free the page table cache pages on task exit because they only cache the userspace page tables and kernel threads should not access user space addresses. The mapping for kernel threads itself is maintained in init_mm and page table cache for that is attached to init_mm.

We recently added a warning in arch_local_irq_restore() to check that the soft masking state matches reality. Unfortunately it trips in a few places, which are not entirely trivial to fix. The key problem is if we're doing function_graph tracing of restore_math(), the warning pops and then seems to recurse. It's not entirely clear because the system continuously oopses on all CPUs, with the output interleaved and unreadable. It's also been observed on a G5 coming out of idle. Until we can fix those cases disable the warning for now. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

We've encountered a performance issue when multiple processors stress {get,put}_mmio_atsd_reg(). These functions contend for mmio_atsd_usage, an unsigned long used as a bitmask. The accesses to mmio_atsd_usage are done using test_and_set_bit_lock() and clear_bit_unlock(). As implemented, both of these will require a (successful) stwcx to that same cache line. What we end up with is thread A, attempting to unlock, being slowed by other threads repeatedly attempting to lock. A's stwcx instructions fail and retry because the memory reservation is lost every time a different thread beats it to the punch. There may be a long-term way to fix this at a larger scale, but for now resolve the immediate problem by gating our call to test_and_set_bit_lock() with one to test_bit(), which is obviously implemented without using a store.
