POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary,
a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces
instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle.
b) new per thread SPR named Processor Stop Status and Control Register
(PSSCR) is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction.
PSSCR layout:
----------------------------------------------------------
| PLS | /// | SD | ESL | EC | PSLL | /// | TR | MTL | RL |
----------------------------------------------------------
0 4 41 42 43 44 48 54 56 60
PSSCR key fields:
Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the lowest
power-saving state the thread entered since stop instruction was last
executed.
Bit 42 - Enable State Loss
0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields
1 - Allows state loss
Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit
This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into.
Bits 60:63 - Requested Level
Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on executing
stop instruction
This patch adds support for stop instruction and PSSCR handling.

Power ISAv3 adds a large decrementer (LD) mode which increases the size
of the decrementer register. The size of the enlarged decrementer
register is between 32 and 64 bits with the exact size being dependent
on the implementation. When in LD mode, reads are sign extended to 64
bits and a decrementer exception is raised when the high bit is set (i.e
the value goes below zero). Writes however are truncated to the physical
register width so some care needs to be taken to ensure that the high
bit is not set when reloading the decrementer. This patch adds support
for using the LD inside the host kernel on processors that support it.
When LD mode is supported firmware will supply the ibm,dec-bits property
for CPU nodes to allow the kernel to determine the maximum decrementer
value. Enabling LD mode is a hypervisor privileged operation so the kernel
can only enable it manually when running in hypervisor mode. Guests that
support LD mode can request it using the "ibm,client-architecture-support"
firmware call (not implemented in this patch) or some other platform
specific method. If this property is not supplied then the traditional
decrementer width of 32 bit is assumed and LD mode will not be enabled.
This patch was based on initial work by Jack Miller.

This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in
userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction)
loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a
new FSCR bit, LM.
This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables
that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken
for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine
whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is
done lazily for performance reasons.

The SIAR and SDAR registers are available twice, one time as SPRs
780 / 781 (unprivileged, but read-only), and one time as the SPRs
796 / 797 (privileged, but read and write). The Linux kernel code
currently uses the unprivileged SPRs - while this is OK for reading,
writing to that register of course does not work.
Since the KVM code tries to write to this register, too (see the mtspr
in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S), the contents of this register sometimes get
lost for the guests, e.g. during migration of a VM.
To fix this issue, simply switch to the privileged SPR numbers instead.

This adds routines for early setup for radix. We use device tree

page sizes.
We do map vmemap using 2M page size if we can. The linear mapping is
done such that we use required page size for that range. For example
memory of 3.5G is mapped such that we use 1G mapping till 3G range and
use 2M mapping for the rest.

This reverts commit 9678cdaae939 ("Use the POWER8 Micro Partition
Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8") because the original commit had
multiple, partly self-cancelling bugs, that could cause occasional
memory corruption.
In fact the logmpp instruction was incorrectly using register r0 as the
source of the buffer address and operation code, and depending on what
was in r0, it would either do nothing or corrupt the 64k page pointed to
by r0.
The logmpp instruction encoding and the operation code definitions could
be corrected, but then there is the problem that there is no clearly
defined way to know when the hardware has finished writing to the
buffer.
The original commit attempted to work around this by aborting the
write-out before starting the prefetch, but this is ineffective in the
case where the virtual core is now executing on a different physical
core from the one where the write-out was initiated.
These problems plus advice from the hardware designers not to use the
function (since the measured performance improvement from using the
feature was actually mostly negative), mean that reverting the code is
the best option.

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes
sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and
clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we
already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller). Otherwise
if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for
an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from
going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because
of the interrupt.

Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters
winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state
power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3
is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to
sleep.
But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the
hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and
restored upon wake up.
Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible
for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to
restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch
uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to
save and restore rest of the necessary registers.
With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories-
per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this,
extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca
variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can
distingush first thread in core and subcore.

Currently, when going idle, we set the flag indicating that we are in
nap mode (paca->kvm_hstate.hwthread_state) and then execute the nap
(or sleep or rvwinkle) instruction, all with the MMU on. This is bad
for two reasons: (a) the architecture specifies that those instructions
must be executed with the MMU off, and in fact with only the SF, HV, ME
and possibly RI bits set, and (b) this introduces a race, because as
soon as we set the flag, another thread can switch the MMU to a guest
context. If the race is lost, this thread will typically start looping
on relocation-on ISIs at 0xc...4400.
This fixes it by setting the MSR as required by the architecture before
setting the flag or executing the nap/sleep/rvwinkle instruction.

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP()
implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg
profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the
time.
If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is
tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value
returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can
be found in save_stack_trace -> save_context_stack:
c0000000000432c0 <.save_stack_trace>:
c0000000000432c0: mflr r0
c0000000000432c4: std r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432c8: stdu r1,-128(r1) <-- stack frame for _mcount
c0000000000432cc: std r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432d0: bl <._mcount>
c0000000000432d4: nop
c0000000000432d8: mr r4,r1 <-- __get_SP()
c0000000000432dc: ld r5,632(r13)
c0000000000432e0: ld r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432e4: li r6,1
c0000000000432e8: addi r1,r1,128 <-- pop stack frame
c0000000000432ec: ld r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432f0: mtlr r0
c0000000000432f4: b <.save_context_stack> <-- tail call optimized
save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current
one, and it is likely to be scribbled over.
Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the
callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs
the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with
__get_SP().
This also fixes an issue with perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs().
It currently unwinds the stack once, which will skip a
valid stack frame on a leaf function. With the __get_SP() fixes
in this patch, we never need to unwind the stack frame to get
to the first interesting frame.
We have to export __get_SP() because perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs()
(which is used in modules) calls it from a header file.

The POWER8 processor has a Micro Partition Prefetch Engine, which is
a fancy way of saying "has way to store and load contents of L2 or
L2+MRU way of L3 cache". We initiate the storing of the log (list of
addresses) using the logmpp instruction and start restore by writing
to a SPR.
The logmpp instruction takes parameters in a single 64bit register:
- starting address of the table to store log of L2/L2+L3 cache contents
- 32kb for L2
- 128kb for L2+L3
- Aligned relative to maximum size of the table (32kb or 128kb)
- Log control (no-op, L2 only, L2 and L3, abort logout)
We should abort any ongoing logging before initiating one.
To initiate restore, we write to the MPPR SPR. The format of what to write
to the SPR is similar to the logmpp instruction parameter:
- starting address of the table to read from (same alignment requirements)
- table size (no data, until end of table)
- prefetch rate (from fastest possible to slower. about every 8, 16, 24 or
32 cycles)
The idea behind loading and storing the contents of L2/L3 cache is to
reduce memory latency in a system that is frequently swapping vcores on
a physical CPU.
The best case scenario for doing this is when some vcores are doing very
cache heavy workloads. The worst case is when they have about 0 cache hits,
so we just generate needless memory operations.
This implementation just does L2 store/load. In my benchmarks this proves
to be useful.
Benchmark 1:
- 16 core POWER8
- 3x Ubuntu 14.04LTS guests (LE) with 8 VCPUs each
- No split core/SMT
- two guests running sysbench memory test.
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=8 run
- one guest running apache bench (of default HTML page)
ab -n 490000 -c 400 http://localhost/
This benchmark aims to measure performance of real world application (apache)
where other guests are cache hot with their own workloads. The sysbench memory
benchmark does pointer sized writes to a (small) memory buffer in a loop.
In this benchmark with this patch I can see an improvement both in requests
per second (~5%) and in mean and median response times (again, about 5%).
The spread of minimum and maximum response times were largely unchanged.
benchmark 2:
- Same VM config as benchmark 1
- all three guests running sysbench memory benchmark
This benchmark aims to see if there is a positive or negative affect to this
cache heavy benchmark. Although due to the nature of the benchmark (stores) we
may not see a difference in performance, but rather hopefully an improvement
in consistency of performance (when vcore switched in, don't have to wait
many times for cachelines to be pulled in)
The results of this benchmark are improvements in consistency of performance
rather than performance itself. With this patch, the few outliers in duration
go away and we get more consistent performance in each guest.
benchmark 3:
- same 3 guests and CPU configuration as benchmark 1 and 2.
- two idle guests
- 1 guest running STREAM benchmark
This scenario also saw performance improvement with this patch. On Copy and
Scale workloads from STREAM, I got 5-6% improvement with this patch. For
Add and triad, it was around 10% (or more).
benchmark 4:
- same 3 guests as previous benchmarks
- two guests running sysbench --memory, distinctly different cache heavy
workload
- one guest running STREAM benchmark.
Similar improvements to benchmark 3.
benchmark 5:

Scott Wood pointed out that We are no longer using SPRG1 for vcpu pointer,
but using SPRN_SPRG_THREAD <=> SPRG3 (thread->vcpu). So this comment
is not valid now.
Note: SPRN_SPRG3R is not supported (do not see any need as of now),
and if we want to support this in future then we have to shift to using
SPRG1 for VCPU pointer.

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window. It got
a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
ack in it. Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.
There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
still want to sort through and test.
The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
with our new v2 ABI. We previously supported v2 userspace but the
kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack. This is now sorted mostly
thanks to Anton and Rusty.
We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper. This was made harder by the fact that
traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it. This
meant more churn that just endian fixes.
This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.
There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
*will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).
Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
P8 by Michael. This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
(the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).
And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."

This adds workarounds for two hardware bugs in the POWER8 performance
monitor unit (PMU), both related to interrupt generation. The effect
of these bugs is that PMU interrupts can get lost, leading to tools
such as perf reporting fewer counts and samples than they should.
The first bug relates to the PMAO (perf. mon. alert occurred) bit in
MMCR0; setting it should cause an interrupt, but doesn't. The other
bug relates to the PMAE (perf. mon. alert enable) bit in MMCR0.
Setting PMAE when a counter is negative and counter negative
conditions are enabled to cause alerts should cause an alert, but
doesn't.
The workaround for the first bug is to create conditions where a
counter will overflow, whenever we are about to restore a MMCR0
value that has PMAO set (and PMAO_SYNC clear). The workaround for
the second bug is to freeze all counters using MMCR2 before reading
MMCR0.

Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the
core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to
appear as full cores to a guest.
The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at
length in the comments within the patch.
One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull
offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure.
The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg:
$ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core
Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that
the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes
correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2.
We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to
prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to
prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to
be run.

If we do a treclaim and we are not in TM suspend mode, it results in a TM bad
thing (ie. a 0x700 program check). Similarly if we do a trechkpt and we have
an active transaction or TEXASR Failure Summary (FS) is not set, we also take a
TM bad thing.
This should never happen, but if it does (ie. a kernel bug), the cause is
almost impossible to debug as the GPR state is mostly userspace and hence we
don't get a call chain.
This adds some checks in these cases case a BUG_ON() (in asm) in case we ever
hit these cases. It moves the register saving around to preserve r1 till later
also.

Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms. Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.
This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.
PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.
powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.
The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:
* The policy->cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
content into policy->related_cpus mask which should not vary on
cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates
a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the
frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this
interface.
Nominal frequency is the highest non-turbo frequency for the
platform. This is generally used for setting governor policies
from user space for optimal energy efficiency. [Authored by
ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]
* Implement a powernv_cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu) method which will
return the current operating frequency. Export this via the sysfs
interface cpuinfo_cur_freq by setting powernv_cpufreq_driver.get to
powernv_cpufreq_get(). [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

"PPC and ARM do not have much going on this time. Most of the cool

ARM has some caching fixes and PPC has transactional memory support in

QEMU will soon get support for MIPS KVM.
For x86 there are optimizations for debug registers, which trigger on
some Windows games, and other important fixes for Windows guests. We
now expose to the guest Broadwell instruction set extensions and also
Intel MPX. There's also a fix/workaround for OS X guests, nested
virtualization features (preemption timer), and a couple kvmclock
refinements.
For s390, the main news is asynchronous page faults, together with
improvements to IRQs (floating irqs and adapter irqs) that speed up
virtio devices"

It also adds emulation of the TM state changes when delivering IRQs

transactional when an IRQ occurs, the TM state is changed to
suspended, otherwise it's left unchanged.

Freescale updates from Scott. Mostly support for critical

PCI suspend/resume work and misc bits.
The previous commit added constraint and register handling to allow
processes using EBB (Event Based Branches) to request access to the BHRB
(Branch History Rolling Buffer).
With that in place we can allow processes using EBB to access the BHRB.
This is achieved by setting BHRBA in MMCR0 when we enable EBB access. We
must also clear BHRBA when we are disabling.

Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical
interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented).
In commit 8b64a9dfb091f1eca8b7e58da82f1e7d1d5fe0ad ("powerpc/booke64:
Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman
made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value
early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues:
- It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the
by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time).
- It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled
differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions.
- It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all
(by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after
I made (most of) this patch. :-)
It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return
from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves
the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with
SPRG for all exceptions.
Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of
a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor
critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO
there.

The DABRX (DABR extension) register on POWER7 processors provides finer
control over which accesses cause a data breakpoint interrupt. It
contains 3 bits which indicate whether to enable accesses in user,
kernel and hypervisor modes respectively to cause data breakpoint
interrupts, plus one bit that enables both real mode and virtual mode
accesses to cause interrupts. Currently, KVM sets DABRX to allow
both kernel and user accesses to cause interrupts while in the guest.
This adds support for the guest to specify other values for DABRX.
PAPR defines a H_SET_XDABR hcall to allow the guest to set both DABR
and DABRX with one call. This adds a real-mode implementation of
H_SET_XDABR, which shares most of its code with the existing H_SET_DABR
implementation. To support this, we add a per-vcpu field to store the
DABRX value plus code to get and set it via the ONE_REG interface.
For Linux guests to use this new hcall, userspace needs to add
"hcall-xdabr" to the set of strings in the /chosen/hypertas-functions
property in the device tree. If userspace does this and then migrates
the guest to a host where the kernel doesn't include this patch, then
userspace will need to implement H_SET_XDABR by writing the specified
DABR value to the DABR using the ONE_REG interface. In that case, the
old kernel will set DABRX to DABRX_USER | DABRX_KERNEL. That should
still work correctly, at least for Linux guests, since Linux guests
cope with getting data breakpoint interrupts in modes that weren't
requested by just ignoring the interrupt, and Linux guests never set
DABRX_BTI.
The other thing this does is to make H_SET_DABR and H_SET_XDABR work
on POWER8, which has the DAWR and DAWRX instead of DABR/X. Guests that
know about POWER8 should use H_SET_MODE rather than H_SET_[X]DABR, but
guests running in POWER7 compatibility mode will still use H_SET_[X]DABR.
For them, this adds the logic to convert DABR/X values into DAWR/X values
on POWER8.
