      powerpc/mm: Use read barrier when creating real_pte · 85c1fafd
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      On ppc64 we support 4K hash pte with 64K page size. That requires
      us to track the hash pte slot information on a per 4k basis. We do that
      by storing the slot details in the second half of pte page. The pte bit
      _PAGE_COMBO is used to indicate whether the second half need to be
      looked while building real_pte. We need to use read memory barrier while
      doing that so that load of hidx is not reordered w.r.t _PAGE_COMBO
      check. On the store side we already do a lwsync in __hash_page_4K

      powerpc/thp: Invalidate with vpn in loop · 969b7b20
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      As per ISA, for 4k base page size we compare 14..65 bits of VA specified
      with the entry_VA in tlb. That implies we need to make sure we do a
      tlbie with all the possible 4k va we used to access the 16MB hugepage.
      With 64k base page size we compare 14..57 bits of VA. Hence we cannot
      ignore the lower 24 bits of va while tlbie .We also cannot tlb
      invalidate a 16MB entry with just one tlbie instruction because
      we don't track which va was used to instantiate the tlb entry.

      powerpc/thp: Handle combo pages in invalidate · fc047955
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      
      
      If we changed base page size of the segment, either via sub_page_protect
      or via remap_4k_pfn, we do a demote_segment which doesn't flush the hash
      table entries. We do a lazy hash page table flush for all mapped pages
      in the demoted segment. This happens when we handle hash page fault for
      these pages.
      
      We use _PAGE_COMBO bit along with _PAGE_HASHPTE to indicate whether a
      pte is backed by 4K hash pte. If we find _PAGE_COMBO not set on the pte,
      that implies that we could possibly have older 64K hash pte entries in
      the hash page table and we need to invalidate those entries.
      
      Use _PAGE_COMBO to determine the page size with which we should
      invalidate the hash table entries on unmap.

      powerpc: reorder per-cpu NUMA information's initialization · 2fabf084
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc
      (and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which
      leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes.
      
      NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate
      after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via
      smp_init().
      
      Commit 6ee0578b ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as
      early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via
      do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary
      processors are online.
      
      Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use
      cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node:
      
      bce90380 ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and
      wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]")
      f3f90ad4 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to
      the allowed cpumask")
      
      Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on
      Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to
      a high number of slab deactivations
      (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html).
      
      Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory
      node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is
      do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for
      the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible
      CPUs. Then, in smp_prepare_cpus(), we can correspondingly set the
      per-cpu values for all possible CPUs. That ensures that before the
      early_initcalls run (and really as early as possible), the per-cpu NUMA
      mapping is accurate.
      
      While testing memoryless nodes on PowerKVM guests with a fix to the
      workqueue logic to use cpu_to_mem() instead of cpu_to_node(), with a
      guest topology of:
      
      available: 2 nodes (0-1)
      node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

      node   0   1
        0:  10  40

      the slab consumption decreases from

      "powerpc/numa: Enable USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID"). Those commits also
      helped improve memory consumption with these kind of environments.

      xmon only soft disables interrupts. This seems like a bad idea - we
      certainly don't want decrementer and PMU exceptions going off when
      we are debugging something inside xmon.
      
      This issue was uncovered when the hard lockup detector went off
      inside xmon. To ensure we wont get a spurious hard lockup warning,
      I also call touch_nmi_watchdog() when exiting xmon.

      powerpc/pseries: Avoid deadlock on removing ddw · 5efbabe0
      Gavin Shan authored
      
      
      Function remove_ddw() could be called in of_reconfig_notifier and
      we potentially remove the dynamic DMA window property, which invokes
      of_reconfig_notifier again. Eventually, it leads to the deadlock as
      following backtrace shows.
      
      The patch fixes the above issue by deferring releasing the dynamic
      DMA window property while releasing the device node.

      PowerNV platform is capable of capturing host memory region when system
      crashes (because of host/firmware). We have new OPAL API to register/
      unregister memory region to be captured when system crashes.
      
      This patch adds support for new API. Also during boot time we register
      kernel log buffer and unregister before doing kexec.

      powerpc: Add POWER8 features to CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE/ALWAYS · 3609e09f
      Michael Ellerman authored
      
      
      We have been a bit slack about updating the CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE and
      CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS masks. When we added POWER8, and also POWER8E we forgot
      to update the ALWAYS mask. And when we added POWER8_DD1 we forgot to
      update both the POSSIBLE and ALWAYS masks.
      
      Luckily this hasn't caused any actual bugs AFAICS. Failing to update the
      ALWAYS mask just forgoes a potential optimisation opportunity. Failing
      to update the POSSIBLE mask for POWER8_DD1 is also OK because it only
      removes a bit rather than adding any.
      
      Regardless they should all be in both masks so as to avoid any future
      bugs when the set of ALWAYS/POSSIBLE bits changes, or the masks
      themselves change.

      powerpc/powernv: Fix IOMMU group lost · 763fe0ad
      Gavin Shan authored
      When we take full hotplug to recover from EEH errors, PCI buses
      could be involved. For the case, the child devices of involved
      PCI buses can't be attached to IOMMU group properly, which is
      caused by commit 3f28c5af ("powerpc/powernv: Reduce multi-hit of
      iommu_add_device()").
      
      When adding the PCI devices of the newly created PCI buses to
      the system, the IOMMU group is expected to be added in (C).
      (A) fails to bind the IOMMU group because bus->is_added is
      false. (B) fails because the device doesn't have binding IOMMU
      table yet. bus->is_added is set to true at end of (C) and
      pdev->is_added is set to true at (D).

      If the parent PCI bus isn't involved in hotplug, the IOMMU
      group is expected to be bound in (B). (A) should fail as the
      sysfs entries aren't populated.
      
      The patch fixes the issue by reverting commit 3f28c5af
      
       and remove
      WARN_ON() in iommu_add_device() to allow calling the function
      even the specified device already has associated IOMMU group.

      powerpc: Add smp_mb()s to arch_spin_unlock_wait() · 78e05b14
      Michael Ellerman authored
      
      
      Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a
      barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with
      spin_unlock_wait().
      
      We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously
      taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock.
      
      It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE
      semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it
      ACQUIRE semantics.

      powerpc: Add smp_mb() to arch_spin_is_locked() · 51d7d520
      Michael Ellerman authored
      
      
      The kernel defines the function spin_is_locked(), which can be used to
      check if a spinlock is currently locked.
      
      Using spin_is_locked() on a lock you don't hold is obviously racy. That
      is, even though you may observe that the lock is unlocked, it may become
      locked at any time.
      
      There is (at least) one exception to that, which is if two locks are
      used as a pair, and the holder of each checks the status of the other
      before doing any update.
      
      Assuming *A and *B are two locks, and *COUNTER is a shared non-atomic
      value:
      
      The first CPU does:
      
      	spin_lock(*A)
      
      	if spin_is_locked(*B)
      		# nothing
      	else
      		smp_mb()
      		LOAD r = *COUNTER
      		r++
      		STORE *COUNTER = r
      
      	spin_unlock(*A)
      
      And the second CPU does:
      
      	spin_lock(*B)
      
      	if spin_is_locked(*A)
      		# nothing
      	else
      		smp_mb()
      		LOAD r = *COUNTER
      		r++
      		STORE *COUNTER = r
      
      	spin_unlock(*B)
      
      Although this is a strange locking construct, it should work.
      
      It seems to be understood, but not documented, that spin_is_locked() is
      not a memory barrier, so in the examples above and below the caller
      inserts its own memory barrier before acting on the result of
      spin_is_locked().
      
      For now we assume spin_is_locked() is implemented as below, and we break
      it out in our examples:
      
      	bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
      		LOAD l = *LOCK
      		return l.locked
      	}
      
      Our intuition is that there should be no problem even if the two code
      sequences run simultaneously such as:
      
      	CPU 0			CPU 1
      	==================================================
      	spin_lock(*A)		spin_lock(*B)
      	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
      	if b.locked # true	if a.locked # true
      	# nothing		# nothing
      	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)
      
      If one CPU gets the lock before the other then it will do the update and
      the other CPU will back off:
      
      	CPU 0			CPU 1
      	==================================================
      	spin_lock(*A)
      	LOAD b = *B
      				spin_lock(*B)
      	if b.locked # false	LOAD a = *A
      	else			if a.locked # true
      	smp_mb()		# nothing
      	LOAD r1 = *COUNTER	spin_unlock(*B)
      	r1++
      	STORE *COUNTER = r1
      	spin_unlock(*A)
      
      However in reality spin_lock() itself is not indivisible. On powerpc we
      implement it as a load-and-reserve and store-conditional.
      
      Ignoring the retry logic for the lost reservation case, it boils down to:
      	spin_lock(*LOCK) {
      		LOAD l = *LOCK
      		l.locked = true
      		STORE *LOCK = l
      		ACQUIRE_BARRIER
      	}
      
      The ACQUIRE_BARRIER is required to give spin_lock() ACQUIRE semantics as
      defined in memory-barriers.txt:
      
           This acts as a one-way permeable barrier.  It guarantees that all
           memory operations after the ACQUIRE operation will appear to happen
           after the ACQUIRE operation with respect to the other components of
           the system.
      
      On modern powerpc systems we use lwsync for ACQUIRE_BARRIER. lwsync is
      also know as "lightweight sync", or "sync 1".
      
      As described in Power ISA v2.07 section B.2.1.1, in this scenario the
      lwsync is not the barrier itself. It instead causes the LOAD of *LOCK to
      act as the barrier, preventing any loads or stores in the locked region
      from occurring prior to the load of *LOCK.
      
      Whether this behaviour is in accordance with the definition of ACQUIRE
      semantics in memory-barriers.txt is open to discussion, we may switch to
      a different barrier in future.
      
      What this means in practice is that the following can occur:
      
      	CPU 0			CPU 1
      	==================================================
      	LOAD a = *A 		LOAD b = *B
      	a.locked = true		b.locked = true
      	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
      	STORE *A = a		STORE *B = b
      	if b.locked # false	if a.locked # false
      	else			else
      	smp_mb()		smp_mb()
      	LOAD r1 = *COUNTER	LOAD r2 = *COUNTER
      	r1++			r2++
      	STORE *COUNTER = r1
      				STORE *COUNTER = r2	# Lost update
      	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)
      
      That is, the load of *B can occur prior to the store that makes *A
      visibly locked. And similarly for CPU 1. The result is both CPUs hold
      their lock and believe the other lock is unlocked.
      
      The easiest fix for this is to add a full memory barrier to the start of
      spin_is_locked(), so adding to our previous definition would give us:
      
      	bool spin_is_locked(*LOCK) {
      		smp_mb()
      		LOAD l = *LOCK
      		return l.locked
      	}
      
      The new barrier orders the store to the lock we are locking vs the load
      of the other lock:
      
      	CPU 0			CPU 1
      	==================================================
      	LOAD a = *A 		LOAD b = *B
      	a.locked = true		b.locked = true
      	STORE *A = a		STORE *B = b
      	smp_mb()		smp_mb()
      	LOAD b = *B		LOAD a = *A
      	if b.locked # true	if a.locked # true
      	# nothing		# nothing
      	spin_unlock(*A)		spin_unlock(*B)
      
      Although the above example is theoretical, there is code similar to this
      example in sem_lock() in ipc/sem.c. This commit in addition to the next
      commit appears to be a fix for crashes we are seeing in that code where
      we believe this race happens in practice.

      __early_init_mmu() does some things that are really only needed by the

      memblock_enforce_memory_limit(), which is labelled __init.  Secondary
      cpu init code can't be __init as that would break CPU hotplug.
      
      While it's probably a bug that memblock_enforce_memory_limit() isn't
      __init_memblock instead, there's no reason why we should be doing this
      stuff for secondary cpus in the first place.
