KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interface

2014-09-05T23:36:32+00:00

commit a0840240c0c6bcbac8f0f5db11f95c19aaf9b52f upstream.

Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the
one_reg interface.  This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace
to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the
upper 32 bits.  The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which
reduces performance in the guest.

We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID,
since that would break existing userspace binaries.  Instead we define
a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit.  Userspace can still use
the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in
the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL).
If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD
as well.

powerpc: subpage_protect: Increase the array size to take care of 64TB

2014-07-22T05:55:55+00:00

We now support TASK_SIZE of 16TB, hence the array should be 8.

Fixes the below crash:

powerpc: Disable doorbells on Power8 DD1.x

2014-07-22T05:55:24+00:00

These processors do not currently support doorbell IPIs, so remove them
from the feature list if we are at DD 1.xx for the 0x004d part.

This fixes a regression caused by d4e58e5928f8 (powerpc/powernv: Enable
POWER8 doorbell IPIs). With that patch the kernel would hang at boot
when calling smp_call_function_many, as the doorbell would not be
received by the target CPUs:

  .smp_call_function_many+0x2bc/0x3c0 (unreliable)
  .on_each_cpu_mask+0x30/0x100
  .cpuidle_register_driver+0x158/0x1a0
  .cpuidle_register+0x2c/0x110
  .powernv_processor_idle_init+0x23c/0x2c0
  .do_one_initcall+0xd4/0x260
  .kernel_init_freeable+0x25c/0x33c
  .kernel_init+0x1c/0x120
  .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x58/0x7c

powerpc/perf: Add PPMU_ARCH_207S define

2014-07-11T02:55:07+00:00

Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one
for v2.07 of the architecture.

This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch.

powerpc: Clean up MMU_FTRS_A2 and MMU_FTR_TYPE_3E

2014-07-11T02:55:05+00:00

In fb5a515704d7 "powerpc: Remove platforms/wsp and associated pieces",
we removed the last user of MMU_FTRS_A2. So remove it.

MMU_FTRS_A2 was the last user of MMU_FTR_TYPE_3E, so remove it also.
This leaves some unreachable code in mmu_context_nohash.c, so remove
that also.

Patch queue for 3.16 - 2014-07-08

A few bug fixes to make 3.16 work well with KVM on PowerPC:

  - Fix ppc32 module builds
  - Fix Little Endian hosts
  - Fix Book3S HV HPTE lookup with huge pages in guest
  - Fix BookE lock leak

PPC: Add _GLOBAL_TOC for 32bit

2014-06-26T11:19:42+00:00

Commit ac5a8ee8 started using _GLOBAL_TOC on ppc32 code. Unfortunately it's only
defined for 64bit targets though. Define it for ppc32 as well, fixing the build
breakage that commit introduced.

KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: HV: Use base page size when comparing against slb value

2014-06-25T12:07:06+00:00

With guests supporting Multiple page size per segment (MPSS),
hpte_page_size returns the actual page size used. Add a new function to
return base page size and use that to compare against the the page size
calculated from SLB. Without this patch a hpte lookup can fail since
we are comparing wrong page size in kvmppc_hv_find_lock_hpte.
