Early on in do_page_fault() we call store_updates_sp(), regardless of the type of exception. For an instruction miss this doesn't make sense, because we only use this information to detect if a data miss is the result of a stack expansion instruction or not. Worse still, it results in a data miss within every userspace instruction miss handler, because we try and load the very instruction we are about to install a pte for! A simple exec microbenchmark runs 6% faster on POWER8 with this fix: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { unsigned long left = atol(argv[1]); char leftstr[16]; if (left-- == 0) return 0; sprintf(leftstr, "%ld", left); execlp(argv[0], argv[0], leftstr, NULL); perror("exec failed\n"); return 0; } Pass the number of iterations on the command line (eg 10000) and time how long it takes to execute.

For an MCE (Machine Check Exception) that hits while in user mode MSR(PR=1), print the task info to the console MCE error log. This may help to identify an application that triggered the MCE. After this patch the MCE console looks like: Severe Machine check interrupt [Recovered] NIP: [0000000010039778] PID: 762 Comm: ebizzy Initiator: CPU Error type: SLB [Multihit] Effective address: 0000000010039778 Severe Machine check interrupt [Not recovered] NIP: [0000000010039778] PID: 763 Comm: ebizzy Initiator: CPU Error type: UE [Page table walk ifetch] Effective address: 0000000010039778 ebizzy[763]: unhandled signal 7 at 0000000010039778 nip 0000000010039778 lr 0000000010001b44 code 30004 Signed-off-by:Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

For D-side errors we print the load/store address that caused the machine check as 'Effective address'. But the instruction that may have caused the machine check can also be helpful, so in addition to printing the NIP, also print the kernel function name as well. After this patch the MCE console log would look like: Severe Machine check interrupt [Recovered] NIP [d00000001bc70194]: init_module+0x194/0x2b0 [bork_kernel] Initiator: CPU Error type: SLB [Parity] Effective address: d000000026de0000 Signed-off-by:

Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB addresses and leads to crashes. To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space above 128TB by default. But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB. If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than from 128TB window. This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual address space. This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with larger addresses and other that do not. A sample memory layout looks like: 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10029630000-10029660000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7fff834a0000-7fff834b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff834b0000-7fff83670000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83670000-7fff83680000 r--p 001b0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83680000-7fff83690000 rw-p 001c0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83690000-7fff836a0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff836a0000-7fff836c0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fff836c0000-7fff83700000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83700000-7fff83710000 r--p 00030000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83710000-7fff83720000 rw-p 00040000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fffdccf0000-7fffdcd20000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 1000000000000-1000000010000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 1ffff83710000-1ffff83720000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Signed-off-by:

Now that we use all the available virtual address range, we need to make sure we don't generate VSID such that it overlaps with the reserved vsid range. Reserved vsid range include the virtual address range used by the adjunct partition and also the VRMA virtual segment. We find the context value that can result in generating such a VSID and reserve it early in boot. We don't look at the adjunct range, because for now we disable the adjunct usage in a Linux LPAR via CAS interface. Signed-off-by:

We optmize the slice page size array copy to paca by copying only the range based on addr_limit. This will require us to not look at page size array beyond addr_limit in PACA on slb fault. To enable that copy task size to paca which will be used during slb fault. Signed-off-by:

In the followup patch, we will increase the slice array size to handle 512TB range, but will limit the max addr to 128TB. Avoid doing unnecessary computation and avoid doing slice mask related operation above address limit. Signed-off-by:

We update the hash linux page table layout such that we can support 512TB. But we limit the TASK_SIZE to 128TB. We can switch to 128TB by default without conditional because that is the max virtual address supported by other architectures. We will later add a mechanism to on-demand increase the application's effective address range to 512TB. Having the page table layout changed to accommodate 512TB makes testing large memory configuration easier with less code changes to kernel Signed-off-by:

Inorder to support large effective address range (512TB), we want to increase the virtual address bits to 68. But we do have platforms like p4 and p5 that can only do 65 bit VA. We support those platforms by limiting context bits on them to 16. The protovsid -> vsid conversion is verified to work with both 65 and 68 bit va values. I also documented the restrictions in a table format as part of code comments. Signed-off-by:

get_kernel_vsid() has a very stern comment saying that it's only valid for kernel addresses, but there's nothing in the code to enforce that. Rather than hoping our callers are well behaved, add a check and return a VSID of 0 (invalid). Signed-off-by: -

Currently we use the top 4 context ids (0x7fffc-0x7ffff) for the kernel. Kernel VSIDs are built using these top context values and effective the segement ID. In subsequent patches we want to increase the max effective address to 512TB. We will achieve that by increasing the effective segment IDs there by increasing virtual address range. We will be switching to a 68bit virtual address in the following patch. But platforms like Power4 and Power5 only support a 65 bit virtual address. We will handle that by limiting the context bits to 16 instead of 19 on those platforms. That means the max context id will have a different value on different platforms. So that we don't have to deal with the kernel context ids changing between different platforms, move the kernel context ids down to use context ids 1-4. We can't use segment 0 of context-id 0, because that maps to VSID 0, which we want to keep as invalid, so we avoid context-id 0 entirely. Similarly we can't use the last segment of the maximum context, so we avoid it too. Signed-off-by:

The min and max context id values used in alloc_context_id() are currently the right values for use on hash, and happen to also be safe for use on radix. But we need to change that in a subsequent patch, so make the min/max ids parameters and pull the hash values into hsah__alloc_context_id(). Signed-off-by: -

This structure definition need not be in a header since this is used only by slice.c file. So move it to slice.c. This also allow us to use SLICE_NUM_HIGH instead of 64. I also switch the low_slices type to u64 from u16. This doesn't have an impact on size of struct due to padding added with u16 type. This helps in using bitmap printing function for printing slice mask. Signed-off-by:

Max value supported by hardware is 51 bits address. Radix page table define a slot of 57 bits for future expansion. We restrict the value supported in linux kernel 53 bits, so that we can use the bits between 57-53 for storing hash linux page table bits. This is done in the next patch. This will free up the software page table bits to be used for features that are needed for both hash and radix. The current hash linux page table format doesn't have any free software bits. Moving hash linux page table specific bits to top of RPN field free up the software bits for other purpose. Signed-off-by:

For low slice, max addr should be less than 4G. Without limiting this correctly we will end up with a low slice mask which has 17th bit set. This is not a problem with the current code because our low slice mask is of type u16. But in later patch I am switching low slice mask to u64 type and having the 17bit set result in wrong slice mask which in turn results in mmap failures. Reviewed-by:

BOOKE code is dead code as per the Kconfig details. So make it simpler by enabling MM_SLICE only for book3s_64. The changes w.r.t nohash is just removing deadcode. W.r.t ppc64, 4k without hugetlb will now enable MM_SLICE. But that is good, because we reduce one extra variant which probably is not getting tested much. Reviewed-by:

Currently, the area to preserve boot memory is reserved at the top of RAM. This leaves fadump vulnerable to memory hot-remove operations. As memory for fadump has to be reserved early in the boot process, fadump can't be registered after a memory hot-remove operation. Though this problem can't be eleminated completely, the impact can be minimized by reserving memory at an offset closer to bottom of the RAM. The offset for fadump memory reservation can be any value greater than fadump boot memory size. Signed-off-by:

For the current task, the kernel stack would only tell the last time the process was rescheduled, if ever. Use the current stack pointer for the current task. Otherwise, every once in a while, the stacktrace printed when reading /proc/self/stack would look like the process is running in userspace, while it's not, which some may consider as a bug. This is also consistent with some other architectures, like x86 and arm, at least. Signed-off-by:
