Currently in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S we have three places where we
have woken up from nap mode and we check the reason field in SRR1
to see what event woke us up. This consolidates them into a new
function, kvmppc_check_wake_reason. It looks at the wake reason
field in SRR1, and if it indicates that an external interrupt caused
the wakeup, calls kvmppc_read_intr to check what sort of interrupt
it was.
This also consolidates the two places where we synthesize an external
interrupt (0x500 vector) for the guest. Now, if the guest exit code
finds that there was an external interrupt which has been handled
(i.e. it was an IPI indicating that there is now an interrupt pending
for the guest), it jumps to deliver_guest_interrupt, which is in the
last part of the guest entry code, where we synthesize guest external
and decrementer interrupts. That code has been streamlined a little
and now clears LPCR[MER] when appropriate as well as setting it.
The extra clearing of any pending IPI on a secondary, offline CPU
thread before going back to nap mode has been removed. It is no longer
necessary now that we have code to read and acknowledge IPIs in the
guest exit path.
This fixes a minor bug in the H_CEDE real-mode handling - previously,
if we found that other threads were already exiting the guest when we
were about to go to nap mode, we would branch to the cede wakeup path
and end up looking in SRR1 for a wakeup reason. Now we branch to a
point after we have checked the wakeup reason.
This also fixes a minor bug in kvmppc_read_intr - previously it could
return 0xff rather than 1, in the case where we find that a host IPI
is pending after we have cleared the IPI. Now it returns 1.

This adds fields to the struct kvm_vcpu_arch to store the new
guest-accessible SPRs on POWER8, adds code to the get/set_one_reg
functions to allow userspace to access this state, and adds code to
the guest entry and exit to context-switch these SPRs between host
and guest.
Note that DPDES (Directed Privileged Doorbell Exception State) is
shared between threads on a core; hence we store it in struct
kvmppc_vcore and have the master thread save and restore it.

On a threaded processor such as POWER7, we group VCPUs into virtual
cores and arrange that the VCPUs in a virtual core run on the same
physical core. Currently we don't enforce any correspondence between
virtual thread numbers within a virtual core and physical thread
numbers. Physical threads are allocated starting at 0 on a first-come
first-served basis to runnable virtual threads (VCPUs).
POWER8 implements a new "msgsndp" instruction which guest kernels can
use to interrupt other threads in the same core or sub-core. Since
the instruction takes the destination physical thread ID as a parameter,
it becomes necessary to align the physical thread IDs with the virtual
thread IDs, that is, to make sure virtual thread N within a virtual
core always runs on physical thread N.
This means that it's possible that thread 0, which is where we call
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, may end up running some other vcpu than the
one whose task called kvmppc_run_core(), or it may end up running
no vcpu at all, if for example thread 0 of the virtual core is
currently executing in userspace. However, we do need thread 0
to be responsible for switching the MMU -- a previous version of
this patch that had other threads switching the MMU was found to
be responsible for occasional memory corruption and machine check
interrupts in the guest on POWER7 machines.
To accommodate this, we no longer pass the vcpu pointer to
__kvmppc_vcore_entry, but instead let the assembly code load it from
the PACA. Since the assembly code will need to know the kvm pointer
and the thread ID for threads which don't have a vcpu, we move the
thread ID into the PACA and we add a kvm pointer to the virtual core
structure.
In the case where thread 0 has no vcpu to run, it still calls into
kvmppc_hv_entry in order to do the MMU switch, and then naps until
either its vcpu is ready to run in the guest, or some other thread
needs to exit the guest. In the latter case, thread 0 jumps to the
code that switches the MMU back to the host. This control flow means
that now we switch the MMU before loading any guest vcpu state.
Similarly, on guest exit we now save all the guest vcpu state before
switching the MMU back to the host. This has required substantial
code movement, making the diff rather large.

Simplify the handling of lazy EE by going directly from fully-enabled
to hard-disabled. This replaces the lazy_irq_pending() check
(including its misplaced kvm_guest_exit() call).
As suggested by Tiejun Chen, move the interrupt disabling into
kvmppc_prepare_to_enter() rather than have each caller do it. Also
move the IRQ enabling on heavyweight exit into
kvmppc_prepare_to_enter().

MMIO emulation reads the last instruction executed by the guest
and then emulates. If the guest is running in Little Endian order,
or more generally in a different endian order of the host, the
instruction needs to be byte-swapped before being emulated.
This patch adds a helper routine which tests the endian order of
the host and the guest in order to decide whether a byteswap is
needed or not. It is then used to byteswap the last instruction
of the guest in the endian order of the host before MMIO emulation
is performed.
Finally, kvmppc_handle_load() of kvmppc_handle_store() are modified
to reverse the endianness of the MMIO if required.

When ACPI SLIT table has an I/O locality (i.e. a locality
unique to an I/O device), numa_set_distance() emits this warning
message:
NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10
acpi_numa_slit_init() calls numa_set_distance() with
pxm_to_node(), which assumes that all localities have been
parsed with SRAT previously. SRAT does not list I/O localities,
where as SLIT lists all localities including I/Os. Hence,
pxm_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) for an I/O locality.
I/O localities are not supported and are ignored today, but emitting
such warning message leads to unnecessary confusion.
Change acpi_numa_slit_init() to avoid calling
numa_set_distance() with NUMA_NO_NODE.

There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was
bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range
support for x86). The problem was related to the
tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered. The
problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each
CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values
is unclear.
This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all
CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited
if any regression is found as a result of this change.
IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology
determined that the value of 2 is acceptable. Details are in
the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift
for IvyBridge".
One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen. The
original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen.
It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes
small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare
metal typically do.

There was a large performance regression that was bisected to
commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for
x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point
between a local and global flush for IvyBridge.
In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this
patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following
configurations
configs/config-global-dhp__tlbflush-performance
configs/config-global-dhp__scheduler-performance
configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance
Results are from two machines
Ivybridge 4 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Ivybridge 8 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Page fault microbenchmark showed nothing interesting.
Ebizzy was configured to run multiple iterations and threads.
Thread counts ranged from 1 to NR_CPUS*2. For each thread count,
it ran 100 iterations and each iteration lasted 10 seconds.

Ebizzy hits the worst case scenario for TLB range flushing every
time and it shows for these Ivybridge CPUs at least that the
default choice is a poor on. The patch addresses the problem.
Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It
measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The
expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that
the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing
There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The
number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max
of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full
range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected
within that section.
iteration 1, random number between 0-64
iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc
This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know
what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it
can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges
and an even spread is not representative of any workload that
matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability
distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads
that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed
that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it
would not account for the time between flushes but there are
limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing
something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is
provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.
Ivybridge 4 threads

Mean 1 10.50 ( 0.00%) 10.50 ( 0.03%)

Mean 3 22.98 ( 0.00%) 21.74 ( 5.41%)
Mean 5 47.13 ( 0.00%) 46.23 ( 1.92%)
Mean 8 43.30 ( 0.00%) 42.56 ( 1.72%)
Ivybridge 8 threads
3.13.0-rc7 3.13.0-rc7

Mean 1 9.45 ( 0.00%) 9.36 ( 0.93%)
Mean 2 9.37 ( 0.00%) 9.70 ( -3.54%)
Mean 3 9.36 ( 0.00%) 9.29 ( 0.70%)
Mean 5 14.49 ( 0.00%) 15.04 ( -3.75%)
Mean 8 41.08 ( 0.00%) 38.73 ( 5.71%)
Mean 13 32.04 ( 0.00%) 31.24 ( 2.49%)
Mean 16 40.05 ( 0.00%) 39.04 ( 2.51%)
For both CPUs, average access time is reduced which is good as
this is the benchmark that was used to tune the shift values in
the first place albeit it is now known *how* the benchmark was
used.
The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They
showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those
benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering
with the test results recently.
Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were
flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine.
These results were unstable and showed large variations between
reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've
noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary.
Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems
like a logical choice.

When choosing between doing an address space or ranged flush,
the x86 implementation of flush_tlb_mm_range takes into account
whether there are any large pages in the range. A per-page
flush typically requires fewer entries than would covered by a
single large page and the check is redundant.
There is one potential exception. THP migration flushes single
THP entries and it conceivably would benefit from flushing a
single entry instead of the mm. However, this flush is after a
THP allocation, copy and page table update potentially with any
other threads serialised behind it. In comparison to that, the
flush is noise. It makes more sense to optimise balancing to
require fewer flushes than to optimise the flush itself.
This patch deletes the redundant huge page check.

Bisection between 3.11 and 3.12 fingered commit 9824cf97 ("mm:
vmstats: tlb flush counters") to cause overhead problems.
The counters are undeniably useful but how often do we really
need to debug TLB flush related issues? It does not justify
taking the penalty everywhere so make it a debugging option.

Fix UV call into kgdb to depend only on whether KGDB is defined
and not both KGDB and KDB. This allows the power nmi command to
use the gdb remote connection if enabled. Note new action of
'kgdb' needs to be set as well to indicate user wants to wait
for gdb to be connected. If it's set to 'kdb' then an error
message is displayed if KDB is not configured.
Also note that if both KGDB and KDB are enabled, then the action
of 'kgdb' or 'kdb' has no affect on which is used. See the KGDB
documentation for further information.

The fix is simple: amd_set_subcaches() should hand down not an 'int'

The workaround for this Erratum is included in AGESA. But BIOSes
spun only after Jan2014 will have the fix (atleast server
versions of the chip). The erratum affects both embedded and
server platforms and since we cannot say with certainity that
ALL BIOSes on systems out in the field will have the fix, we
should probably insulate ourselves in case BIOS does not do the
right thing or someone is using old BIOSes.
Refer to Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810
Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum.
Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and it works fine.
