MIPS: MemoryMapID (MMID) Support

2019-02-04T18:56:41+00:00

Introduce support for using MemoryMapIDs (MMIDs) as an alternative to
Address Space IDs (ASIDs). The major difference between the two is that
MMIDs are global - ie. an MMID uniquely identifies an address space
across all coherent CPUs. In contrast ASIDs are non-global per-CPU IDs,
wherein each address space is allocated a separate ASID for each CPU
upon which it is used. This global namespace allows a new GINVT
instruction be used to globally invalidate TLB entries associated with a
particular MMID across all coherent CPUs in the system, removing the
need for IPIs to invalidate entries with separate ASIDs on each CPU.

The allocation scheme used here is largely borrowed from arm64 (see
arch/arm64/mm/context.c). In essence we maintain a bitmap to track
available MMIDs, and MMIDs in active use at the time of a rollover to a
new MMID version are preserved in the new version. The allocation scheme
requires efficient 64 bit atomics in order to perform reasonably, so
this support depends upon CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64=n (ie. currently it
will only be included in MIPS64 kernels).

The first, and currently only, available CPU with support for MMIDs is
the MIPS I6500. This CPU supports 16 bit MMIDs, and so for now we cap
our MMIDs to 16 bits wide in order to prevent the bitmap growing to
absurd sizes if any future CPU does implement 32 bit MMIDs as the
architecture manuals suggest is recommended.

When MMIDs are in use we also make use of GINVT instruction which is
available due to the global nature of MMIDs. By executing a sequence of
GINVT & SYNC 0x14 instructions we can avoid the overhead of an IPI to
each remote CPU in many cases. One complication is that GINVT will
invalidate wired entries (in all cases apart from type 0, which targets
the entire TLB). In order to avoid GINVT invalidating any wired TLB
entries we set up, we make sure to create those entries using a reserved
MMID (0) that we never associate with any address space.

Also of note is that KVM will require further work in order to support
MMIDs & GINVT, since KVM is involved in allocating IDs for guests & in
configuring the MMU. That work is not part of this patch, so for now
when MMIDs are in use KVM is disabled.

MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_mips* where target ISA allows

2018-11-27T06:49:20+00:00

In the same vein as commit 93e01942a6eb ("MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_* where
known at compile time due to ISA"), we can use our knowledge of the ISA
being targeted by the kernel build to make cpu_has_mips* macros
compile-time constant in some cases. This allows the compiler greater
opportunity to optimize out code which will never execute.

MIPS: Use Kconfig to select CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS

2018-11-12T22:26:16+00:00

Select CONFIG_CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS via Kconfig when the kernel is
configured for a pre-MIPS32r1 CPU, rather than defining its equivalent
in asm/cpu-features.h based upon overrides of cpu_has_mips* macros.

The latter only works if a platform has an cpu-feature-overrides.h
header which defines cpu_has_mips* macros, which are not generally
needed. There are many cases where we know that the target ISA for a
kernel build is MIPS32r1 or later & thus includes the CLZ instruction,
without requiring any overrides from the platform. Using Kconfig allows
us to take those into account, and more naturally make a decision about
instruction support using information about the target ISA.

MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_fpu=0 when CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n

2018-11-09T18:23:15+00:00

When CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n we don't support floating point, so
there's no point in detecting presence of an FPU. Hardcode
cpu_has_fpu=0 such that we optimize out code that makes use of the FPU.

MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_mmips=1 for microMIPS kernels

2018-11-08T18:23:38+00:00

If we built the kernel targeting the microMIPS ISA then the very fact
that the kernel is running implies that the CPU supports microMIPS. Thus
we can hardcode cpu_has_mmips to 1 allowing the compiler greater scope
for optimisation due to the compile-time constant.

MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_* where known at compile time due to ISA

2018-07-24T21:09:13+00:00

Many architectural features have over time moved from being optional to
either be required or removed by newer architecture releases. This means
that in many cases we can know at compile time whether a feature will be
supported or not purely due to the knowledge we have about the ISA the
kernel build is targeting.

This patch introduces a bunch of utility macros for checking for
supported options, ASEs & combinations of those with ISA revisions. It
then makes use of these in the default definitions of cpu_has_* macros.
The result is that many of the macros become compile-time constant,
allowing more optimisation opportunities for the compiler - particularly
with kernels built for later ISA revisions.

To demonstrate the effect of this patch, the following table shows the
size in bytes of the kernel binary as reported by scripts/bloat-o-meter
for v4.12-rc4 maltasmvp_defconfig kernels with & without this patch. A
variant of maltasmvp_defconfig with CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R6 selected is
also shown, to demonstrate that MIPSr6 systems benefit more due to extra
features becoming required by that architecture revision. Builds of
pistachio_defconfig are also shown, as although this is a MIPSr2
platform it doesn't hardcode any features in a machine-specific
cpu-feature-overrides.h, which allows it to gain more from this patch
than the equivalent Malta r2 build.

     Config         | Before  | After   |  Change
    ----------------|---------|---------|---------
     maltasmvp      | 7248316 | 7247714 |    -602
     maltasmvp + r6 | 6955595 | 6950777 |   -4818

MIPS: perf: More robustly probe for the presence of per-tc counters

2018-05-15T14:16:16+00:00

The presence of per TC performance counters is now detected by
cpu-probe.c and indicated by MIPS_CPU_MT_PER_TC_PERF_COUNTERS in
cpu_data. Switch detection of the feature to use this new flag rather
than blindly testing the implementation specific config7 register with a
magic number.
