powerpc: Expose TSCR via sysfs

2018-01-21T18:48:36+00:00

The thread switch control register (TSCR) is a per core register
that configures how the CPU shares resources between SMT threads.

Exposing it via sysfs allows us to tune it at run time.

powerpc/64: Set DSCR default initially from SPR

2017-11-10T11:11:35+00:00

Take the DSCR value set by firmware as the dscr_default value,
rather than zero.

POWER9 recommends DSCR default to a non-zero value.

powerpc/sysfs: Move #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU out of the function body

2017-05-03T04:45:38+00:00

The entire body of unregister_cpu_online() is inside an #ifdef
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU block. This is ugly and means we create an empty function
when hotplug is disabled for no reason.

Instead move the #ifdef out of the function body and define the function to be
NULL in the else case. This means we'll pass NULL to cpuhp_setup_state(), but
that's fine because it accepts NULL to mean there is no teardown callback, which
is exactly what we want.

powerpc/sysfs: Fix reference leak of cpu device_nodes present at boot

2017-04-24T14:24:59+00:00

For CPUs present at boot each logical CPU acquires a reference to the
associated device node of the core. This happens in register_cpu() which
is called by topology_init(). The result of this is that we end up with
a reference held by each thread of the core. However, these references
are never freed if the CPU core is DLPAR removed.

This patch fixes the reference leaks by acquiring and releasing the references
in the CPU hotplug callbacks un/register_cpu_online(). With this patch symmetric
reference counting is observed with both CPUs present at boot, and those DLPAR
added after boot.

powerpc/sysfs: Convert to hotplug state machine

2016-11-22T22:34:42+00:00

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs.

The previous convention of keeping the files around until the CPU is dead
has not been preserved as there is no point to keep them available when the
cpu is going down. This makes the hotplug call symmetric.

powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses

2014-11-03T01:12:32+00:00

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.

V2->V2
  - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

powerpc: Fix regression of per-CPU DSCR setting

2014-05-28T03:35:40+00:00

Since commit "efcac65 powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)"
it is no longer possible to set the DSCR on a per-CPU basis.

The old behaviour was to minipulate the DSCR SPR directly but this is no
longer sufficient: the value is quickly overwritten by context switching.

This patch stores the per-CPU DSCR value in a kernel variable rather than
directly in the SPR and it is used whenever a process has not set the DSCR
itself. The sysfs interface (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr) is unchanged.

Writes to the old global default (/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default)
now set all of the per-CPU values and reads return the last written value.

The new per-CPU default is added to the paca_struct and is used everywhere
outside of sysfs.c instead of the old global default.
