I blame Mikey for this. He elevated my slightly dubious testcase:
to benchmark status. And naturally we need to be number 1 at creating
zeros. So lets improve __clear_user some more.
As Paul suggests we can use dcbz for large lengths. This patch gets
the destination cacheline aligned then uses dcbz on whole cachelines.

At the moment all queues in a multiqueue adapter will serialise
against the IOMMU table lock. This is proving to be a big issue,
especially with 10Gbit ethernet.
This patch creates 4 pools and tries to spread the load across
them. If the table is under 1GB in size we revert back to the
original behaviour of 1 pool and 1 largealloc pool.
We create a hash to map CPUs to pools. Since we prefer interrupts to
be affinitised to primary CPUs, without some form of hashing we are
very likely to end up using the same pool. As an example, POWER7
has 4 way SMT and with 4 pools all primary threads will map to the
same pool.
The largealloc pool is reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 of the space to
partially offset the overhead of breaking the table up into pools.
Some performance numbers were obtained with a Chelsio T3 adapter on
two POWER7 boxes, running a 100 session TCP round robin test.
Performance improved 69% with this patch applied.

We currently hold the IOMMU spinlock around tce_build and tce_flush.
This causes our spinlock hold times to be much higher than required
and can impact multiqueue adapters.
This patch moves tce_build and tce_flush outside of the lock in
iommu_alloc, and tce_flush outside of the lock in iommu_free.

Implement a POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch
instructions.
This is a copy of the POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user
loop. Detailed implementation and performance details can be found in
commit a66086b8197d (powerpc: POWER7 optimised
copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX).
I noticed memcpy issues when profiling a RAID6 workload:
.memcpy
.async_memcpy
.async_copy_data
.__raid_run_ops
.handle_stripe
.raid5d
.md_thread
I created a simplified testcase by building a RAID6 array with 4 1GB
ramdisks (booting with brd.rd_size=1048576):
# mdadm -CR -e 1.2 /dev/md0 --level=6 -n4 /dev/ram[0-3]
I then timed how long it took to write to the entire array:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1M
Before: 892 MB/s
After: 999 MB/s
A 12% improvement.

Version 2.06 of the POWER ISA introduced enhanced touch instructions,
allowing us to specify a number of attributes including the length of
a stream.
This patch adds a software stream for both loads and stores in the
POWER7 copy_tofrom_user loop. Since the setup is quite complicated
and we have to use an eieio to ensure correct ordering of the "GO"
command we only do this for copies above 4kB.
To quantify any performance improvements we need a working set
bigger than the caches so we operate on a 1GB file:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1024
And we compare how fast we can read the file:
# dd if=/tmp/foo of=/dev/null bs=1M
before: 7.7 GB/s
after: 9.6 GB/s
A 25% improvement.
The worst case for this patch will be a completely L1 cache contained
copy of just over 4kB. We can test this with the copy_to_user
testcase we used to tune copy_tofrom_user originally:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
# time ./copy_to_user2 -l 4224 -i 10000000
before: 6.807 s
after: 6.946 s
A 2% slowdown, which seems reasonable considering our data is unlikely
to be completely L1 contained.

Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced
prefetch instructions. We use enhanced prefetch hints to prefetch
both the load and store side. We copy a cacheline at a time and
fall back to regular loads and stores if we are unable to use VMX
(eg we are in an interrupt).
The following microbenchmark was used to assess the impact of
the patch:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/page_fault_file.c
We test MAP_PRIVATE page faults across a 1GB file, 100 times:
# time ./page_fault_file -p -l 1G -i 100
Before: 22.25s
After: 18.89s

1) call_function.lock used in smp_call_function_many() is just to protect
call_function.queue and &data->refs, cpu_online_mask is outside of the
lock. And it's not necessary to protect cpu_online_mask,
because data->cpumask is pre-calculate and even if a cpu is brougt up
when calling arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(), it's harmless because
validation test in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() will take care
of it.
2) For cpu down issue, stop_machine() will guarantee that no concurrent
smp_call_fuction() is processing.

I noticed __clear_user high up in a profile of one of my RAID stress
tests. The testcase was doing a dd from /dev/zero which ends up
calling __clear_user.
__clear_user is basically a loop with a single 4 byte store which
is horribly slow. We can do much better by aligning the desination
and doing 32 bytes of 8 byte stores in a loop.
The following testcase was used to verify the patch:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/stress_clear_user.c
To show the improvement in performance I ran a dd from /dev/zero
to /dev/null on a POWER7 box:
Before:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 3.72379 s, 2.8 GB/s
After:
# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 0.728318 s, 14.4 GB/s

An upcoming release of firmware will add DDW extensions, in particular
an API to "reset" the DMA window to the original configuration (32-bit,
2GB in size). With that API available, we can safely remove the default
window, increasing the resources available to firmware for creation of
larger windows for the slot in question -- if we encounter an error, we
can use the new API to reset the state of the slot.
Further, this same release of firmware will make it a hard requirement
for OSes to release the existing window before any other windows will be
shown as available, to avoid conflicts in addressing between the two
windows.
In anticipation of these changes, always remove the default window
before we do any DDW manipulations.

For ftrace to use the patch_instruction code, it needs to check for
faults on write. Ftrace updates code all over the kernel, and we need to
know if code is updated or not due to protections that are placed on
some portions of the kernel. If ftrace does not detect a fault, it will
error later on, and it will be much more difficult to find the problem.
By changing patch_instruction() to detect faults, then ftrace will be
able to make use of it too.

On ARM with the 2-level page table format, a PMD entry is represented by
two consecutive section entries covering 2MB of virtual space.
However, static mappings always were allowed to use separate 1MB section
entries. This means in practice that a static mapping may create half
populated PMDs via create_mapping().
Since commit 0536bdf33f (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc
region) those static mappings are located in the vmalloc area. We must
ensure no such half populated PMDs are accessible once vmalloc() or
ioremap() start looking at the vmalloc area for nearby free virtual
address ranges, or various things leading to a kernel crash will happen.

The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task()
waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem
is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when
destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a
power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to
acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This
patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex.

into a single one, and check if we need to call cont_add(). This also
removes the unneeded double cont_flush() calls.

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.
This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.
Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.

The following added support for powernv but broke pseries/BML:
1f1616e powerpc/powernv: Add TCE SW invalidation support
TCE_PCI_SW_INVAL was split into FREE and CREATE flags but the tests in
the pseries code were not updated to reflect this.
