AXI master interface in CEVA AHCI controller requires two unique Write/Read ID tags per port. This is because, ahci controller uses different AXI ID[3:0] bits for identifying non-data transfers(like reading descriptors, updating PRD tables, etc) and data transfers (like sending/receiving FIS).To make SMMU work with SATA we need to add correct SMMU stream id for SATA. SMMU stream id for SATA is determined based on the AXI ID[1:0] as shown below SATA SMMU ID = <TBU number>, 0011, 00, 00, AXI ID[1:0] Note: SATA in ZynqMp uses TBU1 so TBU number = 0x1, so SMMU ID = 001, 0011, 00, 00, AXI ID[1:0] Since we have four different AXI ID[3:0] (2 for port0 & 2 for port1 as said above) we get four different SMMU stream id's combinations for SATA. These AXI ID can be configured using PAXIC register. In this patch we assumed the below AXI ID values Read ID/ Write ID for Non-Data Port0 transfers = 0 Read ID/ Write ID for Data Port0 transfers = 1 Read ID/ Write ID for Non-Data Port1 transfers = 2 Read ID/ Write ID for Data Port1 transfers = 3 Based on the above values,SMMU stream ID's for SATA will be 0x4c0 & 0x4c1 for PORT0, 0x4c2 & 0x4c3 for PORT1. These values needed to be added to iommus dts property. This patch does the same.

The present suspend code disables the port interrupts and stops the HBA. On resume it enables the interrupts and HBA. This works fine until the FPD power domain is not off. If FPD is off then the ceva vendor specific configurations like OOB, AXI settings are lost, they need to be re-programmed and also since SERDES is also in FPD , SATA lane phy init needs to be called again (which is not happening in the present sequence) Because of this incorrect sequence SATA fails to work on resume. This patch corrects the code to make Suspend & Resume work in normal and FPD off cases.

Previously PAXIC register was programmed before configuring PCFG register. PCFG should be programmed with the address of the port for which PAXIC should be configured for. This was not happening before, so only one port PAXIC was written correctly and the other port was having wrong value. This patch moves the PXAIC register write after configuring PCFG, doing so will correct the axi bus settings for sata port0 & port1.

In SATA Speed negotiation happens with OOB(Out of Band) signals. These OOB signal timing values are configured through vendor specific registers in the SATA controller. These OOB timings depends on the generator and detector clock frequency, which varies from board to board (ex: ep108 and zc1751 has different clock frequencies). To avoid maintaing these OOB settings in the driver, it is better to move these settings to the device-tree node and read from the device-tree. This patch does the same.

This patch adds support for Cavium's fifth generation SATA controller. It is an on-chip controller and complies with AHCI 1.3.1. As the controller uses 64-bit addresses it cannot use the standard AHCI BAR5 and so uses BAR4.

As described by Matthew Garret quite a while back: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/34868.html Intel CPUs starting with the Haswell generation need SATA links to power down for the "package" part of the CPU to reach low power-states like PC7 / P8 which bring a significant power-saving with them. The default max_performance lpm policy does not allow for these high PC states, both the medium_power and min_power policies do allow this. The min_power policy saves significantly more power, but there are some reports of some disks / SSDs not liking min_power leading to system crashes and in some cases even data corruption has been reported. Matthew has found a document documenting the default settings of Intel's IRST Windows driver with which most laptops ship: https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/dam/doc/reference-guide/sata-devices-implementation-recommendations.pdf Matthew wrote a patch changing med_power to match those defaults, but that never got anywhere as some people where reporting issues with the patch-set that patch was a part of. This commit is another attempt to make the default IRST driver settings available under Linux, but instead of changing medium_power and potentially introducing regressions, this commit adds a new med_power_with_dipm setting which is identical to the existing medium_power accept that it enables dipm on top, which makes it match the Windows IRST driver settings, which should hopefully be safe to use on most devices. The med_power_with_dipm setting is close to min_power, except that: a) It does not use host-initiated slumber mode (ASP not set), but it does allow device-initiated slumber b) It does not enable DevSlp mode On my T440s test laptop I get the following power savings when idle: medium_power 0.9W med_power_with_dipm 1.2W min_power 1.2W Suggested-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

It also used to contain several gaps from the time it was kept out of tree, mentioning error codes and device nodes that never existed upstream. On this series, it received a massive update: all non-deprecated digital TV APIs are now in sync with the current implementation; - Some DVB APIs that aren't used by any upstream driver got removed; - Other parts of the media documentation algo got updated, fixing some bugs on its PDF output and making it compatible with Sphinx version 1.6.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity. Just lots of things all over the place. Some things of note include: - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory controller etc). - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the tree is not changing. - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it closer to other architectures where possible. - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all CPUs. - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems with very sparse NUMA layouts. - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32. - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that pairs of cores may share an L2 cache. - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX compression accelerator. - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults. - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt controller. And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting, but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as always.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity, with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free. With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become more prominent in the future. To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted bitmap allocator which is more consistent.

When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3. With PCID enabled, this has the side effect of masking off the ASID bits in CR3. This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code. If we bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume. This could cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages. More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion in the next context switch. The result of *that* is a failure to resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1). Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one important way. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in the child after fork. Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs. MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs. The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork. Examples of this would be: - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid check, which is too slow without a PID cache) - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification) - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork) - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork) The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork. A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called. It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically. The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior MADV_WIPEONFORK.

/proc/pid/smaps_rollup is a new proc file that improves the performance of user programs that determine aggregate memory statistics (e.g., total PSS) of a process. Android regularly "samples" the memory usage of various processes in order to balance its memory pool sizes. This sampling process involves opening /proc/pid/smaps and summing certain fields. For very large processes, sampling memory use this way can take several hundred milliseconds, due mostly to the overhead of the seq_printf calls in task_mmu.c. smaps_rollup improves the situation. It contains most of the fields of /proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA, smaps_rollup instead contains one synthetic smaps-format entry representing the whole process. In the single smaps_rollup synthetic entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all of the real-smaps VMAs. Using a common format for smaps_rollup and smaps allows userspace parsers to repurpose parsers meant for use with non-rollup smaps for smaps_rollup, and it allows userspace to switch between smaps_rollup and smaps at runtime (say, based on the availability of smaps_rollup in a given kernel) with minimal fuss. By using smaps_rollup instead of smaps, a caller can avoid the significant overhead of formatting, reading, and parsing each of a large process's potentially very numerous memory mappings. For sampling system_server's PSS in Android, we measured a 12x speedup, representing a savings of several hundred milliseconds. One alternative to a new per-process proc file would have been including PSS information in /proc/pid/status. We considered this option but thought that PSS would be too expensive (by a few orders of magnitude) to collect relative to what's already emitted as part of /proc/pid/status, and slowing every user of /proc/pid/status for the sake of readers that happen to want PSS feels wrong. The code itself works by reusing the existing VMA-walking framework we use for regular smaps generation and keeping the mem_size_stats structure around between VMA walks instead of using a fresh one for each VMA. In this way, summation happens automatically. We let seq_file walk over the VMAs just as it does for regular smaps and just emit nothing to the seq_file until we hit the last VMA. Benchmarks: using smaps: iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220023808 0m29.46s real 0m08.28s user 0m20.98s system using smaps_rollup: iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220702720 0m04.39s real 0m00.03s user 0m04.31s system We're using the PSS samples we collect asynchronously for system-management tasks like fine-tuning oom_adj_score, memory use tracking for debugging, application-level memory-use attribution, and deciding whether we want to kill large processes during system idle maintenance windows. Android has been using PSS for these purposes for a long time; as the average process VMA count has increased and and devices become more efficiency-conscious, PSS-collection inefficiency has started to matter more. IMHO, it'd be a lot safer to optimize the existing PSS-collection model, which has been fine-tuned over the years, instead of changing the memory tracking approach entirely to work around smaps-generation inefficiency. Tim said: : There are two main reasons why Android gathers PSS information: : : 1. Android devices can show the user the amount of memory used per : application via the settings app. This is a less important use case. : : 2. We log PSS to help identify leaks in applications. We have found : an enormous number of bugs (in the Android platform, in Google's own : apps, and in third-party applications) using this data. : : To do this, system_server (the main process in Android userspace) will : sample the PSS of a process three seconds after it changes state (for : example, app is launched and becomes the foreground application) and about : every ten minutes after that. The net result is that PSS collection is : regularly running on at least one process in the system (usually a few : times a minute while the screen is on, less when screen is off due to : suspend). PSS of a process is an incredibly useful stat to track, and we : aren't going to get rid of it. We've looked at some very hacky approaches : using RSS ("take the RSS of the target process, subtract the RSS of the : zygote process that is the parent of all Android apps") to reduce the : accounting time, but it regularly overestimated the memory used by 20+ : percent. Accordingly, I don't think that there's a good alternative to : using PSS. : : We started looking into PSS collection performance after we noticed random : frequency spikes while a phone's screen was off; occasionally, one of the : CPU clusters would ramp to a high frequency because there was 200-300ms of : constant CPU work from a single thread in the main Android userspace : process. The work causing the spike (which is reasonable governor : behavior given the amount of CPU time needed) was always PSS collection. : As a result, Android is burning more power than we should be on PSS : collection. : : The other issue (and why I'm less sure about improving smaps as a : long-term solution) is that the number of VMAs per process has increased : significantly from release to release. After trying to figure out why we : were seeing these 200-300ms PSS collection times on Android O but had not : noticed it in previous versions, we found that the number of VMAs in the : main system process increased by 50% from Android N to Android O (from : ~1800 to ~2700) and varying increases in every userspace process. Android : M to N also had an increase in the number of VMAs, although not as much. : I'm not sure why this is increasing so much over time, but thinking about : ASLR and ways to make ASLR better, I expect that this will continue to : increase going forward. I would not be surprised if we hit 5000 VMAs on : the main Android process (system_server) by 2020. : : If we assume that the number of VMAs is going to increase over time, then : doing anything we can do to reduce the overhead of each VMA during PSS : collection seems like the right way to go, and that means outputting an : aggregate statistic (to avoid whatever overhead there is per line in : writing smaps and in reading each line from userspace).

Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue. For example, when clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M. But on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M LLC (last level cache). That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread. If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the end of the huge page. And it is possible for the application to access the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page. To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page, the order to clear sub-pages is changed. In quite some situation, we can get the address that the application will access after we clear the huge page, for example, in a page fault handler. Instead of clearing the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to access last. This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and sub-pages around it more cache-hot too. If we cannot know the address the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be the the address the application will access. With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699 system (36 cores, 72 threads). The test case creates 72 processes, each process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin to the end. For each process, other processes could be seen as other workload which generates heavy cache pressure. At the same time, the cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is reduced ~7.9% Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end to begin too. But tests show no visible performance difference in the tests. May because the size of page is small compared with the cache size. Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the order of sub-pages to clear. The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another patch.
