We are currently assuming that CEDE(0) has exit latency 10us, since there is no way for us to query from the platform. However, if the wakeup latency of an Extended CEDE state is smaller than 10us, then we can be sure that the exit latency of CEDE(0) cannot be more than that. In this patch, we fix the exit latency of CEDE(0) if we discover an Extended CEDE state with wakeup latency smaller than 10us. Benchmark results: On POWER8, this patch does not have any impact since the advertized latency of Extended CEDE (1) is 30us which is higher than the default latency of CEDE (0) which is 10us. On POWER9 we see improvement the single-threaded performance of ebizzy, and no regression in the wakeup latency or the number of context-switches. ebizzy: 2 ebizzy threads bound to the same big-core. 25% improvement in the avg records/s with patch. x without_patch * with_patch N Min Max Median Avg Stddev x 10 2491089 5834307 5398375 4244335 1596244.9 * 10 2893813 5834474 5832448 5327281.3 1055941.4 context_switch2: There is no major regression observed with this patch as seen from the context_switch2 benchmark. context_switch2 across CPU0 CPU1 (Both belong to same big-core, but different small cores).

Currently we use CEDE with latency-hint 0 as the only other idle state on a dedicated LPAR apart from the polling "snooze" state. The platform might support additional extended CEDE idle states, which can be discovered through the "ibm,get-system-parameter" rtas-call made with CEDE_LATENCY_TOKEN. This patch adds a function to obtain information about the extended CEDE idle states from the platform and parse the contents to populate an array of extended CEDE states. These idle states thus discovered will be added to the cpuidle framework in the next patch. dmesg on a POWER8 and POWER9 LPAR, demonstrating the output of parsing the extended CEDE latency parameters are as follows POWER8 [ 10.093279] xcede : xcede_record_size = 10 [ 10.093285] xcede : Record 0 : hint = 1, latency = 0x3c00 tb ticks, Wake-on-irq = 1 [ 10.093291] xcede : Record 1 : hint = 2, latency = 0x4e2000 tb ticks, Wake-on-irq = 0 [ 10.093297] cpuidle : Skipping the 2 Extended CEDE idle states POWER9 [ 5.913180] xcede : xcede_record_size = 10 [ 5.913183] xcede : Record 0 : hint = 1, latency = 0x400 tb ticks, Wake-on-irq = 1 [ 5.913188] xcede : Record 1 : hint = 2, latency = 0x3e8000 tb ticks, Wake-on-irq = 0 [ 5.913193] cpuidle : Skipping the 2 Extended CEDE idle states Signed-off-by:

As per the PAPR, each H_CEDE call is associated with a latency-hint to be passed in the VPA field "cede_latency_hint". The CEDE states that we were implicitly entering so far is CEDE with latency-hint = 0. This patch explicitly sets the latency hint corresponding to the CEDE state that we are currently entering. While at it, we save the previous hint, to be restored once we wakeup from CEDE. This will be required in the future when we expose extended-cede states through the cpuidle framework, where each of them will have a different cede-latency hint. Signed-off-by:

The size of the CPU affinity mask must be large enough for systems with a very large number of CPUs. Otherwise, tests which try to determine the first online CPU by calling sched_getaffinity() will fail. This makes sure that the size of the allocated affinity mask is dependent on the number of CPUs as reported by get_nprocs_conf().

In the unlikely event that the device tree lacks a /cpus node, find_dlpar_cpus_to_add() oddly frees the cpu_drcs buffer it has been passed before returning an error.

If we have a bug which causes us to start with the wrong kind of OF node when linking up the cache tree, it's helpful for debugging to print information about what we found vs what we expected.

The kexec purgatory has to run in real mode. Only the first memory block maybe accessible in real mode. And, unlike the case with panic kernel, no memory is set aside for regular kexec load. Another thing to note is, the memory for crashkernel is reserved at an offset of 128MB. So, when crashkernel memory is reserved, the memory ranges to load kexec segments shrink further as the generic code only looks for memblock free memory ranges and in all likelihood only a tiny bit of memory from 0 to 128MB would be available to load kexec segments. With kdump being used by default in general, kexec file load is likely to fail almost always. This can be fixed by changing the memory hole lookup logic for regular kexec to use the same method as kdump. This would mean that most kexec segments will overlap with crashkernel memory region. That should still be ok as the pages, whose destination address isn't available while loading, are placed in an intermediate location till a flush to the actual destination address happens during kexec boot sequence.

Though kdump kernel boots from loaded address, the first 64KB of it is copied down to real 0. So, setup a backup region and let purgatory copy the first 64KB of crashed kernel into this backup region before booting into kdump kernel. Update reserve map with backup region and crashed kernel's memory to avoid kdump kernel from accidentially using that memory. Signed-off-by:

Kdump kernel, used for capturing the kernel core image, is supposed to use only specific memory regions to avoid corrupting the image to be captured. The regions are crashkernel range - the memory reserved explicitly for kdump kernel, memory used for the tce-table, the OPAL region and RTAS region as applicable. Restrict kdump kernel memory to use only these regions by setting up usable-memory DT property. Also, tell the kdump kernel to run at the loaded address by setting the magic word at 0x5c.

Currently, numa & prom are the only users of drmem LMB walk code. Loading kdump with kexec_file also needs to walk the drmem LMBs to setup the usable memory ranges for kdump kernel. But there are couple of issues in using the code as is. One, walk_drmem_lmb() code is built into the .init section currently, while kexec_file needs it later. Two, there is no scope to pass data to the callback function for processing and/or erroring out on certain conditions. Fix that by, moving drmem LMB walk code out of .init section, adding scope to pass data to the callback function and bailing out when an error is encountered in the callback function. Signed-off-by:

crashkernel region could have an overlap with special memory regions like OPAL, RTAS, TCE table & such. These regions are referred to as excluded memory ranges. Setup these ranges during image probe in order to avoid them while finding the buffer for different kdump segments. Override arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() to locate a memory hole taking these ranges into account. Signed-off-by:

In kexec case, the kernel to be loaded uses the same memory layout as the running kernel. So, passing on the DT of the running kernel would be good enough. But in case of kdump, different memory ranges are needed to manage loading the kdump kernel, booting into it and exporting the elfcore of the crashing kernel. The ranges are exclude memory ranges, usable memory ranges, reserved memory ranges and crash memory ranges. Exclude memory ranges specify the list of memory ranges to avoid while loading kdump segments. Usable memory ranges list the memory ranges that could be used for booting kdump kernel. Reserved memory ranges list the memory regions for the loading kernel's reserve map. Crash memory ranges list the memory ranges to be exported as the crashing kernel's elfcore. Add helper functions for setting up the above mentioned memory ranges. This helpers facilitate in understanding the subsequent changes better and make it easy to setup the different memory ranges listed above, as and when appropriate. Signed-off-by:

Some architectures may have special memory regions, within the given memory range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment. Implement weak arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() definition which arch code may override, to take care of special regions, while trying to locate a memory hole. Also, add the missing declarations for arch overridable functions and and drop the __weak descriptors in the declarations to avoid non-weak definitions from becoming weak. Signed-off-by:

With the proposed change in percpu bootmem allocator to use page mapping [1], the percpu first chunk memory area can come from vmalloc ranges.

When running under older versions of qemu of under newer versions with old machine types, some security features will not be reported to the guest. This will lead the guest OS to consider itself Vulnerable to spectre_v2. So, spectre_v2 test fails in such cases when the host is mitigated and miss predictions cannot be detected as expected by the test. Make it return the skip code instead, for this particular case. We don't want to miss the case when the test fails and the system reports as mitigated or not affected. But it is not a problem to miss failures when the system reports as Vulnerable. Signed-off-by:

This adds a kernel command line option that can be used to disable GTSE support. Disabling GTSE implies kernel will make hcalls to invalidate TLB entries. This was done so that we can do VM migration between configs that enable/disable GTSE support via hypervisor. To migrate a VM from a system that supports GTSE to a system that doesn't, we can boot the guest with radix_hcall_invalidate=on, thereby forcing the guest to use hcalls for TLB invalidates. The check for hcall availability is done in pSeries_setup_arch so that the panic message appears on the console. This should only happen on a hypervisor that doesn't force the guest to hash translation even though it can't handle the radix GTSE=0 request via CAS. With radix_hcall_invalidate=on if the hypervisor doesn't support hcall_rpt_invalidate hcall it should force the LPAR to hash translation. Signed-off-by:
