powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported
Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware. I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers. For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.
Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.
This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.

do_lwsync_fixups doesn't work on 64bit, we end up writing lwsyncs to the
wrong addresses:
0:mon> di c0000001000bfacc
c0000001000bfacc 7c2004ac lwsync
Since the lwsync section has negative offsets we need to use a signed int
pointer so we sign extend the value.

Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx
instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation:
> 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA
> even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds.
>
> 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by
> EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store
> releasing the lock.
To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx
format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple
test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex:
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in
the futex spinlock code:
94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock
|
|--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock
| |
| |--63.29%-- .futex_wake
| |
| |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup
Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per
second) are:
before: 1538203 ops/sec
after: 2189219 ops/sec
An improvement of 42%
A 32 core POWER7 improves even more:
before: 1279529 ops/sec
after: 2282076 ops/sec
An improvement of 78%

I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.
Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The
patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat
summaries.
While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions.
I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate
when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely
handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to
keep a machine check summary.
The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum.

On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up
with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes
impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts.
While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well
pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no
active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count.
The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs.

Commit f71dc176aa 'Make
hpte_need_flush() correctly mask for multiple page sizes' introduced
bug, which is triggered when a kernel with a 64k base page size is run
on a system whose hardware does not 64k hash PTEs. In this case, we
emulate 64k pages with multiple 4k hash PTEs, however in
hpte_need_flush() we incorrectly only mask the hardware page size from
the address, instead of the logical page size. This causes things to
go wrong when we later attempt to iterate through the hardware
subpages of the logical page.
This patch corrects the error. It has been tested on pSeries bare

The code to track the CPPR values added by commit
49bd364713 ("powerpc/pseries: Track previous
CPPR values to correctly EOI interrupts") broke kexec on pseries because
the kexec code in xics.c calls xics_set_cpu_priority() before the IPI has
been EOI'ed. This wasn't a problem previously but it now triggers a BUG_ON
in xics_set_cpu_priority() because os_cppr->index isn't 0.
Fix this problem by setting the index on the CPPR stack to 0 before calling
xics_set_cpu_priority() in xics_teardown_cpu().
Also make it clear that we only want to set the priority when there's just
one CPPR value in the stack, and enforce it by updating the value of
os_cppr->stack[0] rather than os_cppr->stack[os_cppr->index].
While we're at it change the BUG_ON to a WARN_ON.

Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp.
The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to
firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous
patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS).
However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports
multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign
more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with.
This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the
number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust
the value passed to firmware.

With dynamic irq descriptors the overhead of a large NR_IRQS is much lower
than it used to be. With more MSI-X capable adapters and drivers exploiting
multiple vectors we may as well allow the user to increase it beyond the
current maximum of 512.
32768 seems large enough that we'd never have to bump it again (although I bet
my prediction is horribly wrong). It boot tests OK and the vmlinux footprint
increase is only around 500kB due to:
struct irq_map_entry irq_map[NR_IRQS];

Recent U-Boot commit 5ccd29c3679b3669b0bde5c501c1aa0f325a7acb caused
the "cpu-release-addr" device tree property to contain the physical RAM
location that secondary cores were spinning at. Previously, the
"cpu-release-addr" property contained a value referencing the boot page
translation address range of 0xfffffxxx, which then indirectly accessed
RAM.
The "cpu-release-addr" is currently ioremapped and the secondary cores
kicked. However, due to the recent change in "cpu-release-addr", it
sometimes points to a memory location in low memory that cannot be
ioremapped. For example on a P2020-based board with 512MB of RAM the
following error occurs on bootup:
