powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit

2013-08-27T06:59:30+00:00

On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
gcc as something like:

        addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
        addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l

This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
nibble.  This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.

To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator.  Using an AND
operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
it on.  (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)

powerpc/tm: Fix context switching TAR, PPR and DSCR SPRs

2013-08-09T08:07:12+00:00

If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor
Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be
restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began.  Any changes
to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort
handler.

Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR.  If
we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on
process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the
checkpointed versions of these SPRs.

This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the
save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code.

Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may
incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

powerpc: Save the TAR register earlier

2013-08-09T08:07:08+00:00

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in
__switch_to.  It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this.

We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional
memory reclaim/recheckpoint path.  We are going to do this in a subsequent
patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a
transaction.

powerpc: Rework setting up H/FSCR bit definitions

2013-08-09T08:07:01+00:00

This reworks the Facility Status and Control Regsiter (FSCR) config bit
definitions so that we can access the bit numbers.  This is needed for a
subsequent patch to fix the userspace DSCR handling.

HFSCR and FSCR bit definitions are the same, so reuse them.

powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings

2013-08-01T03:11:47+00:00

When an associativity level change is found for one thread, the
siblings threads need to be updated as well.  This is done today
for PRRN in stage_topology_update() but is missing for VPHN in
update_cpu_associativity_changes_mask().  This patch will correctly
update all thread siblings during a topology change.

Without this patch a topology update can result in a CPU in
init_sched_groups_power() getting stuck indefinitely in a loop.

This loop is built in build_sched_groups(). As a result of the thread
moving to a node separate from its siblings the struct sched_group will
have its next pointer set to point to itself rather than the sched_group
struct of the next thread.  This happens because we have a domain without
the SD_OVERLAP flag, which is correct, and a topology that doesn't conform
with reality (threads on the same core assigned to different numa nodes).
When this list is traversed by init_sched_groups_power() it will reach
the thread's sched_group structure and loop indefinitely; the cpu will
be stuck at this point.

The bug was exposed when VPHN was enabled in commit b7abef0 (v3.9).

powerpc/perf: Export PERF_EVENT_CONFIG_EBB_SHIFT to userspace

2013-08-01T03:11:46+00:00

We use bit 63 of the event code for userspace to request that the event
be counted using EBB (Event Based Branches). Export this value, making
it part of the API - though only on processors that support EBB.

powerpc/eeh: Introdce flag to protect sysfs

2013-07-24T04:18:49+00:00

The patch introduces flag EEH_DEV_SYSFS to keep track that the sysfs
entries for the corresponding EEH device (then PCI device) has been
added or removed, in order to avoid race condition.

powerpc/eeh: Don't use pci_dev during BAR restore

2013-07-24T04:18:49+00:00

While restoring BARs for one specific PCI device, the pci_dev
instance should have been released. So it's not reliable to use
the pci_dev instance on restoring BARs. However, we still need
some information (e.g. PCIe capability position, header type) from
the pci_dev instance. So we have to store those information to
EEH device in advance.

powerpc/eeh: Use partial hotplug for EEH unaware drivers

2013-07-24T04:18:48+00:00

When EEH error happens to one specific PE, some devices with drivers
supporting EEH won't except hotplug on the device. However, there
might have other deivces without driver, or with driver without EEH
support. For the case, we need do partial hotplug in order to make
sure that the PE becomes absolutely quite during reset. Otherise,
the PE reset might fail and leads to failure of error recovery.

The current code doesn't handle that 'mixed' case properly, it either
uses the error callbacks to the drivers, or tries hotplug, but doesn't
handle a PE (EEH domain) composed of a combination of the two.

The patch intends to support so-called "partial" hotplug for EEH:
Before we do reset, we stop and remove those PCI devices without
EEH sensitive driver. The corresponding EEH devices are not detached
from its PE, but with special flag. After the reset is done, those
EEH devices with the special flag will be scanned one by one.

powerpc/eeh: Use safe list traversal when walking EEH devices

2013-07-24T04:18:47+00:00

Currently, we're trasversing the EEH devices list using list_for_each_entry().
That's not safe enough because the EEH devices might be removed from
its parent PE while doing iteration. The patch replaces that with
list_for_each_entry_safe().
