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.

Anton Blanchard authored
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% Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

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. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request(). E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load. When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn() doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing the requeued request again. This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled, so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens. For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so: # dmsetup table mp mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1 # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done & # while true; do \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \ > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \ > dmsetup resume mp \ > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \ > done To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

When suspending a failed mirror, bios are completed by mirror_end_io() and __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL where a non-NULL return value is required by design. Fix this by not changing the state of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end().

When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state, DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time. When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec() returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected. Solution Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change because: - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state. - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(), a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the delayed_bio list. The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end() was added in the following commit: dm raid1: handle resync failures author Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:29:04 +0000 (17:29 +0100) http://git.kernel.org/linus/f44db678edcc6f4c2779ac43f63f0b9dfa28b724Signed-off-by: Takahiro Yasui <tyasui@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch completes them with EIO instead. This code path is taken: do_writes: bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync); do_failures: if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false) else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false) else bio_endio(bio, 0); The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of the various header structures used during communication. The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload (data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.) The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)' not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the value is computed correctly.
