      drivers/watchdog/Kconfig: Update CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RTAS dependencies · 42bed042
      Murilo Opsfelder Araujo authored 
      drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.c uses symbols defined in arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c,
which are exported iff CONFIG_PPC_RTAS is selected. Building wdrtas.c without
setting CONFIG_PPC_RTAS throws the following errors:

    ERROR: ".rtas_token" [drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.ko] undefined!
    ERROR: "rtas_data_buf" [drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.ko] undefined!
    ERROR: "rtas_data_buf_lock" [drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.ko] undefined!
    ERROR: ".rtas_get_sensor" [drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.ko] undefined!
    ERROR: ".rtas_call" [drivers/watchdog/wdrtas.ko] undefined!

This was identified during a randconfig build where CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RTAS=m and
CONFIG_PPC_RTAS was not set. Logs are here:

    http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/12982152/

This patch fixes the issue by updating CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RTAS to depend on just
CONFIG_PPC_RTAS, removing COMPILE_TEST entirely.

      powerpc/64s: Avoid cpabort in context switch when possible · 07d2a628
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      The ISA v3.0B copy-paste facility only requires cpabort when switching
to a process that has foreign real addresses mapped (direct access to
accelerators), to clear a potential copy buffer filled by a previous
thread. There is no accelerator driver implemented yet, so cpabort can
be removed. It can be be re-added when a driver is implemented.

POWER9 DD1 requires the copy buffer to always be cleared on context
switch, but if accelerators are not in use, then an unpaired copy from
a dummy region is sufficient to clear data out of the copy buffer.

This increases context switch performance by about 5% on POWER9.

      powerpc/64: Drop explicit hwsync in context switch · 9145effd
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      The sync (aka. hwsync, aka. heavyweight sync) in the context switch
code to prevent MMIO access being reordered from the point of view of
a single process if it gets migrated to a different CPU is not
required because there is an hwsync performed earlier in the context
switch path.

Comment this so it's clear enough if anything changes on the scheduler
or the powerpc sides. Remove the hwsync from _switch.

This improves context switch performance by 2-3% on POWER8.

      powerpc/64: Drop reservation-clearing ldarx in context switch · 837e72f7
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      There is no need to explicitly break the reservation in _switch,
because we are guaranteed that the context switch path will include a
larx/stcx.

Comment the guarantee and remove the reservation clear from _switch.

This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance.

      powerpc/64s: Leave interrupts hard enabled in context switch for radix · e4c0fc5f
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      Commit 4387e9ff25 ("[POWERPC] Fix PMU + soft interrupt disable bug")
hard disabled interrupts over the low level context switch, because
the SLB management can't cope with a PMU interrupt accesing the stack
in that window.

Radix based kernel mapping does not use the SLB so it does not require
interrupts hard disabled here.

This is worth 1-2% in context switch performance on POWER9.

      powerpc/64: Avoid restore_math call if possible in syscall exit · bc4f65e4
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      The syscall exit code that branches to restore_math is quite heavy on
Book3S, consisting of 2 mtmsr instructions. Threads that don't use both
FP and vector can get caught here if the kernel ever uses FP or vector.
Lazy-FP/vec context switching also trips this case.

So check for lazy FP and vector before switching RI for restore_math.
Move most of this case out of line.

For threads that do want to restore math registers, the MSR switches are
still suboptimal. Future direction may be to use a soft-RI bit to avoid
MSR switches in kernel (similar to soft-EE), but for now at least the
no-restore

POWER9 context switch rate increases by about 5% due to sched_yield(2)
return performance. I haven't constructed a test to measure the syscall
cost.

      powerpc/64s: Optimize hypercall/syscall entry · acd7d8ce
      Nicholas Piggin authored 
      After bc355125 ("powerpc/64: Allow for relocation-on interrupts from
guest to host"), a getppid() system call goes from 307 cycles to 358
cycles (+17%) on POWER8. This is due significantly to the scratch SPR
used by the hypercall check.

It turns out there are a some volatile registers common to both system
call and hypercall (in particular, r12, cr0, ctr), which can be used to
avoid the SPR and some other overheads. This brings getppid to 320 cycles
(+4%).

Testing hcall entry performance by running "sc 1" in guest userspace
before this patch is 854 cycles, afterwards is 826. Also a small win
there.

POWER9 syscall is improved by about the same amount, hcall not tested.

      powerpc/mm/radix: Only add X for pages overlapping kernel text · 9abcc981
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      Currently we map the whole linear mapping with PAGE_KERNEL_X. Instead we
should check if the page overlaps the kernel text and only then add
PAGE_KERNEL_X.

Note that we still use 1G pages if they're available, so this will
typically still result in a 1G executable page at KERNELBASE. So this fix is
primarily useful for catching stray branches to high linear mapping addresses.

Without this patch, we can execute at 1G in xmon using:

  0:mon> m c000000040000000
  c000000040000000  00 l
  c000000040000000  00000000 01006038
  c000000040000004  00000000 2000804e

  0:mon> p c000000040000000
  return value is 0x1

After we get a 400 as expected:

  0:mon> p c000000040000000
  *** 400 exception occurred
