* powerpc: Ensure the else case of feature sections will fitMichael Ellerman2011-01-211-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we create an alternative feature section, the else case must be the same size or smaller than the body. This is because when we patch the else case in we just overwrite the body, so there must be room. Up to now we just did this by inspection, but it's quite easy to enforce it in the assembler, so we should. The only change is to add the ifgt block, but that effects the alignment of the tabs and so the whole macro is modified. Also add a test, but #if 0 it because we don't want to break the build. Anyone who's modifying the feature macros should enable the test. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* powerpc: Add support for popcnt instructionsAnton Blanchard2010-11-292-1/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | POWER5 added popcntb, and POWER7 added popcntw and popcntd. As a first step this patch does all the work out of line, but it would be nice to implement them as inlines with an out of line fallback. The performance issue with hweight was noticed when disabling SMT on a large (192 thread) POWER7 box. The patch improves that testcase by about 8%.

* powerpc: Abstract indexing of lppaca structsPaul Mackerras2010-09-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have the lppaca structs as a simple array of NR_CPUS entries, taking up space in the data section of the kernel image. In future we would like to allocate them dynamically, so this abstracts out the accesses to the array, making it easier to change how we locate the lppaca for a given cpu in future. Specifically, lppaca[cpu] changes to lppaca_of(cpu). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

* powerpc: Optimise 64bit csum_partial_copy_generic and add ↵Anton Blanchard2010-09-023-88/+269
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | csum_and_copy_from_user We use the same core loop as the new csum_partial, adding in the stores and exception handling code. To keep things simple we do all the exception fixup in csum_and_copy_from_user. This wrapper function is modelled on the generic checksum code and is careful to always calculate a complete checksum even if we only copied part of the data to userspace. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 19% with this patch. If I forced both the sender and receiver onto the same cpu (with the hope of shifting the benchmark from being cache bandwidth limited to cpu limited), adding this patch improved performance by 55% Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
* powerpc: Optimise 64bit csum_partialAnton Blanchard2010-09-021-40/+153
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main loop of csum_partial runs very slowly on recent POWER CPUs. After some analysis on both POWER6 and POWER7 I came up with routine below. First we get the source aligned to a double word, ignoring any odd alignment to keep things simple. Then we do 64 bytes at a time, with an entry and exit limb of a further 64 bytes. On both POWER6 and POWER7 this should be as fast as we can go since we are limited by the latency of the adde instructions. To test this I forced checksumming on over loopback and ran socklib (a simple TCP benchmark). On a POWER6 575 throughput improved by 11% with this patch.

| * powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Implement hw_breakpoints for 64-bit server processorsK.Prasad2010-06-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC 64-bit server (Book III S) processors. This allows access to a given location to be used as an event that can be counted or profiled by the perf_events subsystem. This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can also be used for process debugging via ptrace. When perf_event hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint. [Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> to - emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the per-task breakpoints - perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint() ] Signed-off-by: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * powerpc: Emulate most Book I instructions in emulate_step()Paul Mackerras2010-06-223-47/+1846
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the emulate_step() function to handle a large proportion of the Book I instructions implemented on current 64-bit server processors. The aim is to handle all the load and store instructions used in the kernel, plus all of the instructions that appear between l[wd]arx and st[wd]cx., so this handles the Altivec/VMX lvx and stvx and the VSX lxv2dx and stxv2dx instructions (implemented in POWER7). The new code can emulate user mode instructions, and checks the effective address for a load or store if the saved state is for user mode. It doesn't handle little-endian mode at present. For floating-point, Altivec/VMX and VSX instructions, it checks that the saved MSR has the enable bit for the relevant facility set, and if so, assumes that the FP/VMX/VSX registers contain valid state, and does loads or stores directly to/from the FP/VMX/VSX registers, using assembly helpers in ldstfp.S. Instructions supported now include: * Loads and stores, including some but not all VMX and VSX instructions, and lmw/stmw * Atomic loads and stores (l[dw]arx, st[dw]cx.) * Arithmetic instructions (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc.) * Compare instructions * Rotate and mask instructions * Shift instructions * Logical instructions (and, or, xor, etc.) * Condition register logical instructions * mtcrf, cntlz[wd], exts[bhw] * isync, sync, lwsync, ptesync, eieio * Cache operations (dcbf, dcbst, dcbt, dcbtst) The overflow-checking arithmetic instructions are not included, but they appear not to be ever used in C code. This uses decimal values for the minor opcodes in the switch statements because that is what appears in the Power ISA specification, thus it is easier to check that they are correct if they are in decimal. If this is used to single-step an instruction where a data breakpoint interrupt occurred, then there is the possibility that the instruction is a lwarx or ldarx. In that case we have to be careful not to lose the reservation until we get to the matching st[wd]cx., or we'll never make forward progress. One alternative is to try to arrange that we can return from interrupts and handle data breakpoint interrupts without losing the reservation, which means not using any spinlocks, mutexes, or atomic ops (including bitops). That seems rather fragile. The other alternative is to emulate the larx/stcx and all the instructions in between. This is why this commit adds support for a wide range of integer instructions.

* powerpc: Fix handling of strncmp with zero lenJeff Mahoney2010-04-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first string as the return value. This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that case.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* powerpc: Fix lwsync feature fixup vs. modules on 64-bitBenjamin Herrenschmidt2010-02-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Anton's commit enabling the use of the lwsync fixup mechanism on 64-bit breaks modules. The lwsync fixup section uses .long instead of the FTR_ENTRY_OFFSET macro used by other fixups sections, and thus will generate 32-bit relocations that our module loader cannot resolve. This changes it to use the same type as other feature sections. Note however that we might want to consider using 32-bit for all the feature fixup offsets and add support for R_PPC_REL32 to module_64.c instead as that would reduce the size of the kernel image. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader for now... Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8. While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-( Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to our custom virtual space allocator. There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time. However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a regression introduced by commit a4e22f02f5b6518c1484faea1f88d81802b9feac ("powerpc: Update 64bit __copy_tofrom_user() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"). The same bug that existed in the 64bit memcpy() also exists here so fix it here too. The fix is the same as that applied to memcpy() with the addition of fixes for the exception handling code required for __copy_tofrom_user(). This stops us reading beyond the end of the source region we were told to copy. Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson <markn@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But, along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that. In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the original do_tail for the src_unaligned case. Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant: Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xc00000003f380000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000039574 cpu 0x1: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000003baf3020] pc: c000000000039574: .memcpy+0x74/0x244 lr: d00000000244916c: .ext3_xattr_get+0x288/0x2f4 [ext3] sp: c00000003baf32a0 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: c00000003f380000 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000003e54b010 paca = 0xc000000000a53680 pid = 1840, comm = readahead enter ? for help [link register ] d00000000244916c .ext3_xattr_get+0x288/0x2f4 [ext3] [c00000003baf32a0] d000000002449104 .ext3_xattr_get+0x220/0x2f4 [ext3] (unreliab le) [c00000003baf3390] d00000000244a6e8 .ext3_xattr_security_get+0x40/0x5c [ext3] [c00000003baf3400] c000000000148154 .generic_getxattr+0x74/0x9c [c00000003baf34a0] c000000000333400 .inode_doinit_with_dentry+0x1c4/0x678 [c00000003baf3560] c00000000032c6b0 .security_d_instantiate+0x50/0x68 [c00000003baf35e0] c00000000013c818 .d_instantiate+0x78/0x9c [c00000003baf3680] c00000000013ced0 .d_splice_alias+0xf0/0x120 [c00000003baf3720] d00000000243e05c .ext3_lookup+0xec/0x134 [ext3] [c00000003baf37c0] c000000000131e74 .do_lookup+0x110/0x260 [c00000003baf3880] c000000000134ed0 .__link_path_walk+0xa98/0x1010 [c00000003baf3970] c0000000001354a0 .path_walk+0x58/0xc4 [c00000003baf3a20] c000000000135720 .do_path_lookup+0x138/0x1e4 [c00000003baf3ad0] c00000000013645c .path_lookup_open+0x6c/0xc8 [c00000003baf3b70] c000000000136780 .do_filp_open+0xcc/0x874 [c00000003baf3d10] c0000000001251e0 .do_sys_open+0x80/0x140 [c00000003baf3dc0] c00000000016aaec .compat_sys_open+0x24/0x38 [c00000003baf3e30] c00000000000855c syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

It's feasible that the PowerPC version may wish to use my global one instead. The NOMMU vm_region struct defines areas of the physical memory map that are under mmap. This may include chunks of RAM or regions of memory mapped devices, such as flash. It is also used to retain copies of file content so that shareable private memory mappings of files can be made. As such, it may be compatible with what is described in the banner comment for PowerPC's vm_region struct.

Once again this is purely a performance tweak for Cell and Power6 - this has no effect on all the other 64bit powerpc chips. We can make these same changes to __copy_tofrom_user() because the basic copy algorithm is the same as in memcpy() - this version just has all the exception handling logic needed when copying to or from userspace as well as a special case for copying whole 4K pages that are page aligned. CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU was added in commit 4ec577a28980a0790df3c3dfe9c81f6e2222acfb ("powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").

| * | powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STDMark Nelson2008-11-051-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update memcpy() to add two new feature sections: one for aligning the destination before copying and one for copying using aligned load and store doubles. These new feature sections will only affect Power6 and Cell because the CPU feature bit was only added to these two processors. Power6 gets its best performance in memcpy() when aligning neither the source nor the destination, while Cell gets its best performance when just the destination is aligned. But in order to save on CPU feature bits we can use the previously added CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ feature bit to differentiate between Power6 and Cell (because CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was added to Cell but not Power6). The first feature section acts to nop out the branch that takes us to the code that aligns us to an eight byte boundary for the destination. We only want to nop out this branch on Power6. So the ALT_FTR_SECTION_END() for this feature section creates a test mask of the two feature bits ORed together and provides an expected result of just CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, thus we nop out the branch if we're on a CPU that has CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD set and CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ unset. For the second feature section added, if we're on a CPU that has the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD bit set then we don't want to do the copy with aligned loads and stores (and the appropriate shifting left and right instructions), so we want to nop out the branch to .Lsrc_unaligned. The andi. used for this branch is moved to just above the branch because this allows us to nop out both instructions with just one feature section which gives us better performance and doesn't hurt readability which two separate feature sections did. Moving the andi. to just above the branch doesn't have any noticeable negative effect on the remaining 64bit processors (the ones that didn't have this feature bit added). On Cell this simple modification results in an improvement to measured memcpy() bandwidth of up to 50% in the hot cache case and up to 15% in the cold cache case. On Power6 we get memory bandwidth results that are up to three times faster in the hot cache case and up to 50% faster in the cold cache case. Commit 2a9294369bd020db89bfdf78b84c3615b39a5c84 ("powerpc: Add new CPU feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ") was where CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was added. To say that Cell gets its best performance in memcpy() with just the destination aligned is true but only for the reason that the indirect shift and rotate instructions, sld and srd, are microcoded on Cell. This means that either the destination or the source can be aligned, but not both, and seeing as we get better performance with the destination aligned we choose this option. While we're at it make a one line change from cmpldi r1,... to cmpldi cr1,... for consistency. Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson <markn@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* powerpc: New copy_4K_page()Mark Nelson2008-09-151-105/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or bettered it by a small amount. It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of 2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5 or Power6. The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches. A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup loop is nop'ed out.

* PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi2008-07-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.
