When we enter into fadump crash path via system reset we fail to update the pstore. On the system reset path we first update the pstore then we go for fadump crash. But the problem here is when all the CPUs try to get the pstore lock to initiate the pstore write, only one CPUs will acquire the lock and proceed with the pstore write. Since it in NMI context CPUs that fail to get lock do not wait for their turn to write to the pstore and simply proceed with the next operation which is fadump crash. One of the CPU who proceeded with fadump crash path triggers the crash and does not wait for the CPU who gets the pstore lock to complete the pstore update. Timeline diagram to depicts the sequence of events that leads to an unsuccessful pstore update when we hit fadump crash path via system reset. 1 2 3 ... n CPU Threads | | | | | | | | Reached to -->|--->|---->| ----------->| system reset | | | | path | | | | | | | | Try to -->|--->|---->|------------>| acquire the | | | | pstore lock | | | | | | | | | | | | Got the -->| +->| | |<-+ pstore lock | | | | | |--> Didn't get the | --------------------------+ lock and moving | | | | ahead on fadump | | | | crash path | | | | Begins the -->| | | | process to | | | |<-- Got the chance to update the | | | | trigger the crash pstore | -> | | ... <- | | | | | | | | | | | | |<-- Triggers the | | | | | | crash | | | | | | ^ | | | | | | | Writing to -->| | | | | | | pstore | | | | | | | | | | ^ |__________________| | | CPU Relax | | | +-----------------------------------------+ | v Race: crash triggered before pstore update completes To avoid this race condition a barrier is added on crash_fadump path, it prevents the CPU to trigger the crash until all the online CPUs completes their task. A barrier is added to make sure all the secondary CPUs hit the crash_fadump function before we initiates the crash. A timeout is kept to ensure the primary CPU (one who initiates the crash) do not wait for secondary CPUs indefinitely.

Patch here adds a cpumask attr to hv_24x7 pmu along with ABI documentation. Primary use to expose the cpumask is for the perf tool which has the capability to parse the driver sysfs folder and understand the cpumask file. Having cpumask file will reduce the number of perf command line parameters (will avoid "-C" option in the perf tool command line). It can also notify the user which is the current cpu used to retrieve the counter data. command:# cat /sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/cpumask 0 Signed-off-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200709051836.723765-3-kjain@linux.ibm.com

pseries_update_drconf_memory() runs from a DT notifier in response to an update to the ibm,dynamic-memory property of the /ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. This property is an older less compact format than the ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property used in most currently supported firmwares. There has never been an equivalent function for the v2 property. pseries_update_drconf_memory() compares the 'assigned' flag for each LMB in the old vs new properties and adds or removes the block accordingly. However it appears to be of no actual utility: * Partition suspension and PRRNs are specified only to change LMBs' NUMA affinity information. This notifier should be a no-op for those scenarios since the assigned flags should not change. * The memory hotplug/DLPAR path has a hack which short-circuits execution of the notifier: dlpar_memory() ... rtas_hp_event = true; drmem_update_dt() of_update_property() pseries_memory_notifier() pseries_update_drconf_memory() if (rtas_hp_event) return; So this code only makes sense as a relic of the time when more of the DLPAR workflow took place in user space. I don't see a purpose for it now.

prrn_is_enabled() always returns false/0, so handle_rtas_event() can be simplified and some dead code can be removed. Use machine_is() instead of #ifdef to run this code only on pseries, and add an informational ratelimited message that we are ignoring the events. PRRN events are relatively rare in normal operation and usually arise from operator-initiated actions such as a DPO (Dynamic Platform Optimizer) run. Eventually we do want to consume these events and update the device tree, but that needs more care to be safe vs LPM and DLPAR.

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function: * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition resumes execution Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two states before a partition suspension can proceed. This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac ("powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads. With commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN; stopped threads can be left alone.

This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), which added an offline mode for CPUs which uses the H_CEDE hcall instead of the architected stop-self RTAS function in order to facilitate "folding" of dedicated mode processors on PowerVM platforms to achieve energy savings. This has been the default offline mode since its introduction. There's nothing about stop-self that would prevent the hypervisor from achieving the energy savings available via H_CEDE, so the original premise of this change appears to be flawed. I also have encountered the claim that the transition to and from ceded state is much faster than stop-self/start-cpu. Certainly we would not want to use stop-self as an *idle* mode. That is what H_CEDE is for. However, this difference is insignificant in the context of Linux CPU hotplug, where the latency of an offline or online operation on current systems is on the order of 100ms, mainly attributable to all the various subsystems' cpuhp callbacks. The cede offline mode also prevents accurate accounting, as discussed before: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1571740391-3251-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ Unconditionally use stop-self to offline processor threads. This is the architected method for offlining CPUs on PAPR systems. The "cede_offline" boot parameter is rendered obsolete. Removing this code enables the removal of the partition suspend code which temporarily onlines all present CPUs.

When a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable fault loads registers and enables the facility in the MSR, re-set the lazy restore counters to 1 rather than incrementing them so every fault gets the same number of restores before the next fault. This probably shouldn't be a practical change because if a lazy counter was non-zero then it should have been restored and would not cause a fault when userspace tries to access it. However the code and comment implies otherwise so that's misleading and unnecessary.

Before returning to user, if there are missing FP/VEC/VSX bits from the user MSR then those registers had been saved and must be restored again before use. restore_math will decide whether to restore immediately, or skip the restore and let fp/vec/vsx unavailable faults demand load the registers. Each time restore_math restores one of the FP/VSX or VEC register sets is loaded, an 8-bit counter is incremented (load_fp and load_vec). When these wrap to zero, restore_math no longer restores that register set until after they are next demand faulted. It's quite usual for those counters to have different values, so if one wraps to zero and restore_math no longer restores its registers or user MSR bit but the other is not zero yet does not need to be restored (because the kernel is not frequently using the FPU), then restore_math will be called and it will also not return in the early exit check. This causes msr_check_and_set to test and set the MSR at every kernel exit despite having no work to do. This can cause workloads (e.g., a NULL syscall microbenchmark) to run fast for a time while both counters are non-zero, then slow down when one of the counters reaches zero, then speed up again after the second counter reaches zero. The cost is significant, about 10% slowdown on a NULL syscall benchmark, and the jittery behaviour is very undesirable. Fix this by having restore_math test all conditions first, and only update MSR if we will be loading registers.
