When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads. Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused. Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that is an obvious win for common workloads. With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%). POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not see a big gain like POWER9. Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary loading. Signed-off-by:

Add 32-entry bitmaps to track the allocation status of the first 32 SLB entries, and whether they are user or kernel entries. These are used to allocate free SLB entries first, before resorting to the round robin allocator. Signed-off-by:

User SLB mappig data is copied into the PACA from the mm->context so it can be accessed by the SLB miss handlers. After the C conversion, SLB miss handlers now run with relocation on, and user SLB misses are able to take recursive kernel SLB misses, so the user SLB mapping data can be removed from the paca and accessed directly.

This patch moves SLB miss handlers completely to C, using the standard exception handler macros to set up the stack and branch to C. This can be done because the segment containing the kernel stack is always bolted, so accessing it with relocation on will not cause an SLB exception. Arbitrary kernel memory may not be accessed when handling kernel space SLB misses, so care should be taken there. However user SLB misses can access any kernel memory, which can be used to move some fields out of the paca (in later patches). User SLB misses could quite easily reconcile IRQs and set up a first class kernel environment and exit via ret_from_except, however that doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment, so we only do that if a bad fault is encountered.

POWER9 introduces SLBIA IH=3, which invalidates all SLB entries and associated lookaside information that have a class value of 1, which Linux assigns to user addresses. This matches what switch_slb wants, and allows a simple fast implementation that avoids the slb_cache complexity. As a side-effect, the POWER5 < DD2.1 SLB invalidation workaround is also avoided on POWER9. Process context switching rate is improved about 2.2% for a small process that hits the slb cache which is the best case for the current code. Signed-off-by:

The SLBIA IH=1 hint will remove all non-zero SLBEs, but only invalidate ERAT entries associated with a class value of 1, for processors that support the hint (e.g., POWER6 and newer), which Linux assigns to user addresses. This prevents kernel ERAT entries from being invalidated when context switchig (if the thread faulted in more than 8 user SLBEs). Signed-off-by:

Remove the vmalloc segment from bolted SLBEs. This is not required to be bolted, and seems like it was added to help pre-load the SLB on context switch. However there are now other segments like the vmemmap segment and non-zero node memory that often take misses after a context switch, so it is better to solve this in a more general way. A subsequent change will track free SLB entries and uses those rather than round-robin overwrite valid entries, which makes it far less likely for kernel SLBEs to be evicted after they are installed.

The POWER5 < DD2.1 issue is that slbie needs to be issued more than once. It came in with this change: ChangeSet@1.1608, 2004-04-29 07:12:31-07:00, david@gibson.dropbear.id.au [PATCH] POWER5 erratum workaround Early POWER5 revisions (<DD2.1) have a problem requiring slbie instructions to be repeated under some circumstances. The patch below adds a workaround (patch made by Anton Blanchard). (aka. 3e4520f7605243abf66a7ccd3d2e49e48e8c0483 in the full history tree) The extra slbie in switch_slb is done even for the case where slbia is called (slb_flush_and_rebolt). I don't believe that is required because there are other slb_flush_and_rebolt callers which do not issue the workaround slbie, which would be broken if it was required. It also seems to be fine inside the isync with the first slbie, as it is in the kernel stack switch code. So move this workaround to where it is required. This is not much of an optimisation because this is the fast path, but it makes the code more understandable and neater. Signed-off-by:

If we get a machine check exceptions due to SLB errors then dump the current SLB contents which will be very much helpful in debugging the root cause of SLB errors. Introduce an exclusive buffer per cpu to hold faulty SLB entries. In real mode mce handler saves the old SLB contents into this buffer accessible through paca and print it out later in virtual mode. With this patch the console will log SLB contents like below on SLB MCE errors: [ 507.297236] SLB contents of cpu 0x1 [ 507.297237] Last SLB entry inserted at slot 16 [ 507.297238] 00 c000000008000000 400ea1b217000500 [ 507.297239] 1T ESID= c00000 VSID= ea1b217 LLP:100 [ 507.297240] 01 d000000008000000 400d43642f000510 [ 507.297242] 1T ESID= d00000 VSID= d43642f LLP:110 [ 507.297243] 11 f000000008000000 400a86c85f000500 [ 507.297244] 1T ESID= f00000 VSID= a86c85f LLP:100 [ 507.297245] 12 00007f0008000000 4008119624000d90 [ 507.297246] 1T ESID= 7f VSID= 8119624 LLP:110 [ 507.297247] 13 0000000018000000 00092885f5150d90 [ 507.297247] 256M ESID= 1 VSID= 92885f5150 LLP:110 [ 507.297248] 14 0000010008000000 4009e7cb50000d90 [ 507.297249] 1T ESID= 1 VSID= 9e7cb50 LLP:110 [ 507.297250] 15 d000000008000000 400d43642f000510 [ 507.297251] 1T ESID= d00000 VSID= d43642f LLP:110 [ 507.297252] 16 d000000008000000 400d43642f000510 [ 507.297253] 1T ESID= d00000 VSID= d43642f LLP:110 [ 507.297253] ---------------------------------- [ 507.297254] SLB cache ptr value = 3 [ 507.297254] Valid SLB cache entries: [ 507.297255] 00 EA[0-35]= 7f000 [ 507.297256] 01 EA[0-35]= 1 [ 507.297257] 02 EA[0-35]= 1000 [ 507.297257] Rest of SLB cache entries: [ 507.297258] 03 EA[0-35]= 7f000 [ 507.297258] 04 EA[0-35]= 1 [ 507.297259] 05 EA[0-35]= 1000 [ 507.297260] 06 EA[0-35]= 12 [ 507.297260] 07 EA[0-35]= 7f000 Suggested-by:

On pseries, as of today system crashes if we get a machine check exceptions due to SLB errors. These are soft errors and can be fixed by flushing the SLBs so the kernel can continue to function instead of system crash. We do this in real mode before turning on MMU. Otherwise we would run into nested machine checks. This patch now fetches the rtas error log in real mode and flushes the SLBs on SLB/ERAT errors. Signed-off-by:

There are cases where the test is not expecting to have the transaction aborted, but, the test process might have been rescheduled, either in the OS level or by KVM (if it is running on a KVM guest machine). The process reschedule will cause a treclaim/recheckpoint which will cause the transaction to doom, aborting the transaction as soon as the process is rescheduled back to the CPU. This might cause the test to fail, but this is not a failure in essence. If that is the case, TEXASR[FC] is indicated with either TM_CAUSE_RESCHEDULE or TM_CAUSE_KVM_RESCHEDULE for KVM interruptions. In this scenario, ignore these two failures and avoid the whole test to return failure. Signed-off-by:

The AFU Information DVSEC capability is a means to extract common, general information about all of the AFUs associated with a Function independent of the specific functionality that each AFU provides. Write in the AFU Index field allows to access to the descriptor data for each AFU. With the current code, we are not able to access to these specific data when the index >= 1 because we are writing to the wrong location. All requests to the data of each AFU are pointing to those of the AFU 0, which could have impacts when using a card with more than one AFU per function. This patch fixes the access to the AFU Descriptor Data indexed by the AFU Info Index field.

When hot-removing memory release_mem_region_adjustable() splits iomem resources if they are not the exact size of the memory being hot-deleted. Adding this memory back to the kernel adds a new resource. Eg a node has memory 0x0 - 0xfffffffff. Hot-removing 1GB from 0xf40000000 results in the single resource 0x0-0xfffffffff being split into two resources: 0x0-0xf3fffffff and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff. When we hot-add the memory back we now have three resources: 0x0-0xf3fffffff, 0xf40000000-0xf7fffffff, and 0xf80000000-0xfffffffff. This is an issue if we try to remove some memory that overlaps resources. Eg when trying to remove 2GB at address 0xf40000000, release_mem_region_adjustable() fails as it expects the chunk of memory to be within the boundaries of a single resource. We then get the warning: "Unable to release resource" and attempting to use memtrace again gives us this error: "bash: echo: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable" This patch makes memtrace remove memory in chunks that are always the same size from an address that is always equal to end_of_memory - n*size, for some n. So hotremoving and hotadding memory of different sizes will now not attempt to remove memory that spans multiple resources. Signed-off-by:

Call Frame Information is used by gdb for back-traces and inserting breakpoints on function return for the "finish" command. This failed when inside __kernel_clock_gettime. More concerning than difficulty debugging is that CFI is also used by stack frame unwinding code to implement exceptions. If you have an app that needs to handle asynchronous exceptions for some reason, and you are unlucky enough to get one inside the VDSO time functions, your app will crash. What's wrong: There is control flow in __kernel_clock_gettime that reaches label 99 without saving lr in r12. CFI info however is interpreted by the unwinder without reference to control flow: It's a simple matter of "Execute all the CFI opcodes up to the current address". That means the unwinder thinks r12 contains the return address at label 99. Disabuse it of that notion by resetting CFI for the return address at label 99. Note that the ".cfi_restore lr" could have gone anywhere from the "mtlr r12" a few instructions earlier to the instruction at label 99. I put the CFI as late as possible, because in general that's best practice (and if possible grouped with other CFI in order to reduce the number of CFI opcodes executed when unwinding). Using r12 as the return address is perfectly fine after the "mtlr r12" since r12 on that code path still contains the return address. __get_datapage also has a CFI error. That function temporarily saves lr in r0, and reflects that fact with ".cfi_register lr,r0". A later use of r0 means the CFI at that point isn't correct, as r0 no longer contains the return address. Fix that too. Signed-off-by:

Currently on P9N DD2.1 we end up taking infinite TM facility unavailable exceptions on the first TM usage by userspace. In the special case of TM no suspend (P9N DD2.1), Linux is told TM is off via CPU dt-ftrs but told to (partially) use it via OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED. So HFSCR[TM] will be off from dt-ftrs but we need to turn it on for the no suspend case. This patch fixes this by enabling HFSCR TM in this case. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.15+ Signed-off-by:
