powerpc: Provide for giveup_fpu/altivec to save state in alternate location · 18461960

Paul Mackerras authored Sep 10, 2013

This provides a facility which is intended for use by KVM, where the
contents of the FP/VSX and VMX (Altivec) registers can be saved away
to somewhere other than the thread_struct when kernel code wants to
use floating point or VMX instructions. This is done by providing a
pointer in the thread_struct to indicate where the state should be
saved to. The giveup_fpu() and giveup_altivec() functions test these
pointers and save state to the indicated location if they are non-NULL.
Note that the MSR_FP/VEC bits in task->thread.regs->msr are still used
to indicate whether the CPU register state is live, even when an
alternate save location is being used.

This also provides load_fp_state() and load_vr_state() functions, which
load up FP/VSX and VMX state from memory into the CPU registers, and
corresponding store_fp_state() and store_vr_state() functions, which
store FP/VSX and VMX state into memory from the CPU registers.

powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures · de79f7b9

Paul Mackerras authored Sep 10, 2013

This creates new 'thread_fp_state' and 'thread_vr_state' structures
to store FP/VSX state (including FPSCR) and Altivec/VSX state
(including VSCR), and uses them in the thread_struct.  In the
thread_fp_state, the FPRs and VSRs are represented as u64 rather
than double, since we rarely perform floating-point computations
on the values, and this will enable the structures to be used
in KVM code as well.  Similarly FPSCR is now a u64 rather than
a structure of two 32-bit values.

This takes the offsets out of the macros such as SAVE_32FPRS,
REST_32FPRS, etc.  This enables the same macros to be used for normal
and transactional state, enabling us to delete the transactional
versions of the macros.   This also removes the unused do_load_up_fpu
and do_load_up_altivec, which were in fact buggy since they didn't
create large enough stack frames to account for the fact that
load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec are not designed to be called from C
and assume that their caller's stack frame is an interrupt frame.

powerpc: add real mode support for dma operations on powernv · 8e0a1611

Alexey Kardashevskiy authored Aug 28, 2013

The existing TCE machine calls (tce_build and tce_free) only support
virtual mode as they call __raw_writeq for TCE invalidation what
fails in real mode.

This introduces tce_build_rm and tce_free_rm real mode versions
which do mostly the same but use "Store Doubleword Caching Inhibited
Indexed" instruction for TCE invalidation.

This new feature is going to be utilized by real mode support of VFIO.

powerpc: Prepare to support kernel handling of IOMMU map/unmap · 8e0861fa

Alexey Kardashevskiy authored Aug 28, 2013

The current VFIO-on-POWER implementation supports only user mode
driven mapping, i.e. QEMU is sending requests to map/unmap pages.
However this approach is really slow, so we want to move that to KVM.
Since H_PUT_TCE can be extremely performance sensitive (especially with
network adapters where each packet needs to be mapped/unmapped) we chose
to implement that as a "fast" hypercall directly in "real
mode" (processor still in the guest context but MMU off).

To be able to do that, we need to provide some facilities to
access the struct page count within that real mode environment as things
like the sparsemem vmemmap mappings aren't accessible.

This adds an API function realmode_pfn_to_page() to get page struct when
MMU is off.

This adds to MM a new function put_page_unless_one() which drops a page
if counter is bigger than 1. It is going to be used when MMU is off
(for example, real mode on PPC64) and we want to make sure that page
release will not happen in real mode as it may crash the kernel in
a horrible way.

CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and CONFIG_FLATMEM are supported.

hashtable: add hash_for_each_possible_rcu_notrace() · 81fcfb81

Alexey Kardashevskiy authored Aug 28, 2013

This adds hash_for_each_possible_rcu_notrace() which is basically
a notrace clone of hash_for_each_possible_rcu() which cannot be
used in real mode due to its tracing/debugging capability.
