powerpc: add vcmpequd/vcmpequb ppc instruction macro

2018-07-24T12:03:20+00:00

Some old tool chains don't know about instructions like vcmpequd.

This patch adds .long macro for vcmpequd and vcmpequb, which is
a preparation to optimize ppc64 memcmp with VMX instructions.

This brings in two series from Paul, one of which touches KVM code and
may need to be merged into the kvm-ppc tree to resolve conflicts.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around transactional memory bugs in POWER9

2018-03-23T13:39:13+00:00

POWER9 has hardware bugs relating to transactional memory and thread
reconfiguration (changes to hardware SMT mode).  Specifically, the core
does not have enough storage to store a complete checkpoint of all the
architected state for all four threads.  The DD2.2 version of POWER9
includes hardware modifications designed to allow hypervisor software
to implement workarounds for these problems.  This patch implements
those workarounds in KVM code so that KVM guests see a full, working
transactional memory implementation.

The problems center around the use of TM suspended state, where the
CPU has a checkpointed state but execution is not transactional.  The
workaround is to implement a "fake suspend" state, which looks to the
guest like suspended state but the CPU does not store a checkpoint.
In this state, any instruction that would cause a transition to
transactional state (rfid, rfebb, mtmsrd, tresume) or would use the
checkpointed state (treclaim) causes a "soft patch" interrupt (vector
0x1500) to the hypervisor so that it can be emulated.  The trechkpt
instruction also causes a soft patch interrupt.

On POWER9 DD2.2, we avoid returning to the guest in any state which
would require a checkpoint to be present.  The trechkpt in the guest
entry path which would normally create that checkpoint is replaced by
either a transition to fake suspend state, if the guest is in suspend
state, or a rollback to the pre-transactional state if the guest is in
transactional state.  Fake suspend state is indicated by a flag in the
PACA plus a new bit in the PSSCR.  The new PSSCR bit is write-only and
reads back as 0.

On exit from the guest, if the guest is in fake suspend state, we still
do the treclaim instruction as we would in real suspend state, in order
to get into non-transactional state, but we do not save the resulting
register state since there was no checkpoint.

Emulation of the instructions that cause a softpatch interrupt is
handled in two paths.  If the guest is in real suspend mode, we call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() to handle the cases where the guest is
transitioning to transactional state.  This is called before we do the
treclaim in the guest exit path; because we haven't done treclaim, we
can get back to the guest with the transaction still active.  If the
instruction is a case that kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation_early() doesn't
handle, or if the guest is in fake suspend state, then we proceed to
do the complete guest exit path and subsequently call
kvmhv_p9_tm_emulation() in host context with the MMU on.  This handles
all the cases including the cases that generate program interrupts
(illegal instruction or TM Bad Thing) and facility unavailable
interrupts.

The emulation is reasonably straightforward and is mostly concerned
with checking for exception conditions and updating the state of
registers such as MSR and CR0.  The treclaim emulation takes care to
ensure that the TEXASR register gets updated as if it were the guest
treclaim instruction that had done failure recording, not the treclaim
done in hypervisor state in the guest exit path.

With this, the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM capability returns true (1) even if
transactional memory is not available to host userspace.

lib/raid6/altivec: Add vpermxor implementation for raid6 Q syndrome

2018-03-20T05:47:25+00:00

This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q
syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version
2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a
single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le
vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives.

The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the
/lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone
machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35%
speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec).
The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it
also works for big-endian architectures.

Performance benchmarks:
  raid6: altivecx4 gen() 18773 MB/s
  raid6: altivecx8 gen() 19438 MB/s

  raid6: vpermxor4 gen() 25112 MB/s
  raid6: vpermxor8 gen() 26279 MB/s

powerpc/8xx: Only perform perf counting when perf is in use.

2018-01-16T12:47:12+00:00

In TLB miss handlers, updating the perf counter is only useful
when performing a perf analysis. As it has a noticeable overhead,
let's only do it when needed.

In order to do so, the exit of the miss handlers will be patched
when starting/stopping 'perf': the first register restore
instruction of each exit point will be replaced by a jump to
the counting code.

Once this is done, CONFIG_PPC_8xx_PERF_EVENT becomes useless as
this feature doesn't add any overhead.
