      powerpc/mm: Trace tlbie(l) instructions · 0428491c
      Balbir Singh authored
      Add a trace point for tlbie(l) (Translation Lookaside Buffer Invalidate
      Entry (Local)) instructions.
      
      The tlbie instruction has changed over the years, so not all versions
      accept the same operands. Use the ISA v3 field operands because they are
      the most verbose, we may change them in future.
      
      Example output:
      
        qemu-system-ppc-5371  [016]  1412.369519: tlbie:
        	tlbie with lpid 0, local 1, rb=67bd8900174c11c1, rs=0, ric=0 prs=0 r=0

      powerpc: Convert VDSO update function to use new update_vsyscall interface · d4cfb113
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This converts the powerpc VDSO time update function to use the new
      interface introduced in commit 576094b7 ("time: Introduce new
      GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL", 2012-09-11).  Where the old interface gave
      us the time as of the last update in seconds and whole nanoseconds,
      with the new interface we get the nanoseconds part effectively in
      a binary fixed-point format with tk->tkr_mono.shift bits to the
      right of the binary point.
      
      With the old interface, the fractional nanoseconds got truncated,
      meaning that the value returned by the VDSO clock_gettime function
      would have about 1ns of jitter in it compared to the value computed
      by the generic timekeeping code in the kernel.
      
      The powerpc VDSO time functions (clock_gettime and gettimeofday)
      already work in units of 2^-32 seconds, or 0.23283 ns, because that
      makes it simple to split the result into seconds and fractional
      seconds, and represent the fractional seconds in either microseconds
      or nanoseconds.  This is good enough accuracy for now, so this patch
      avoids changing how the VDSO works or the interface in the VDSO data
      page.
      
      This patch converts the powerpc update_vsyscall_old to be called
      update_vsyscall and use the new interface.  We convert the fractional
      second to units of 2^-32 seconds without truncating to whole nanoseconds.
      (There is still a conversion to whole nanoseconds for any legacy users
      of the vdso_data/systemcfg stamp_xtime field.)
      
      In addition, this improves the accuracy of the computation of tb_to_xs
      for those systems with high-frequency timebase clocks (>= 268.5 MHz)
      by doing the right shift in two parts, one before the multiplication and
      one after, rather than doing the right shift before the multiplication.
      (We can't do all of the right shift after the multiplication unless we
      use 128-bit arithmetic.)
