    powerpc/64s: Improve local TLB flush for boot and MCE on POWER9 · d4748276
    Nicholas Piggin authored
    There are several cases outside the normal address space management
    where a CPU's entire local TLB is to be flushed:
    
      1. Booting the kernel, in case something has left stale entries in
         the TLB (e.g., kexec).
    
      2. Machine check, to clean corrupted TLB entries.
    
    One other place where the TLB is flushed, is waking from deep idle
    states. The flush is a side-effect of calling ->cpu_restore with the
    intention of re-setting various SPRs. The flush itself is unnecessary
    because in the first case, the TLB should not acquire new corrupted
    TLB entries as part of sleep/wake (though they may be lost).
    
    This type of TLB flush is coded inflexibly, several times for each CPU
    type, and they have a number of problems with ISA v3.0B:
    
    - The current radix mode of the MMU is not taken into account, it is
      always done as a hash flushn For IS=2 (LPID-matching flush from host)
      and IS=3 with HV=0 (guest kernel flush), tlbie(l) is undefined if
      the R field does not match the current radix mode.
    
    - ISA v3.0B hash must flush the partition and process table caches as
      well.
    
    - ISA v3.0B radix must flush partition and process scoped translations,
      partition and process table caches, and also the page walk cache.
    
    So consolidate the flushing code and implement it in C and inline asm
    under the mm/ directory with the rest of the flush code. Add ISA v3.0B
    cases for radix and hash, and use the radix flush in radix environment.
    
    Provide a way for IS=2 (LPID flush) to specify the radix mode of the
    partition. Have KVM pass in the radix mode of the guest.
    
    Take out the flushes from early cputable/dt_cpu_ftrs detection hooks,
    and move it later in the boot process after, the MMU registers are set
    up and before relocation is first turned on.
    
    The TLB flush is no longer called when restoring from deep idle states.
    This was not be done as a separate step because booting secondaries
    uses the same cpu_restore as idle restore, which needs the TLB flush.
