2010-04-28powerpc/pseries: Flush lazy kernel mappings after unplug operationsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This ensures that the translations for unmapped IO mappings or unmapped memory are properly removed from the MMU hash table before such an unplug. Without this, the hypervisor refuses the unplug operations due to those resources still being mapped by the partition. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-04-28powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinityAnton Blanchard
Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7. Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we need to use the new form 1 affinity information. We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points array. If not we use the second field as we always have. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-04-26powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support on FSL Book-E ppc32Kumar Gala
The following commit broke CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support on FSL Book-E parts: commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Date: Sat Aug 30 11:43:47 2008 +1000 powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable The change to __va and __pa to use PAGE_OFFSET & MEMORY_START causes problems on the Book-E parts because we don't know MEMORY_START until after we parse the device tree. We need __va to work properly to even parse the device tree so we have a chicken an egg. So go back to using he other definition of __va/__pa on CONFIG_BOOKE and use the PAGE_OFFSET/MEMORY_START version on "Classic" PPC64. Also updated casts to handle phys_addr_t being a different size from unsigned long (ie 36-bit physical on PPC32). Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Destory timer on vcpu destructionAlexander Graf
When we destory a vcpu, we should also make sure to kill all pending timers that could still be up. When not doing this, hrtimers might dereference null pointers trying to call our code. This patch fixes spontanious kernel panics seen after closing VMs. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <alex@csgraf.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Memset vcpu to zerosAlexander Graf
While converting the kzalloc we used to allocate our vcpu struct to vmalloc, I forgot to memset the contents to zeros. That broke quite a lot. This patch memsets it to zero again. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <alex@csgraf.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Allocate vcpu struct using vmallocAlexander Graf
We used to use get_free_pages to allocate our vcpu struct. Unfortunately that call failed on me several times after my machine had a big enough uptime, as memory became too fragmented by then. Fortunately, we don't need it to be page aligned any more! We can just vmalloc it and everything's great. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Simplify kvmppc_load_up_(FPU|VMX|VSX)Alexander Graf
We don't need as complex code. I had some thinkos while writing it, figuring I needed to support PPC32 paths on PPC64 which would have required DR=0, but everything just runs fine with DR=1. So let's make the functions simple C call wrappers that reserve some space on the stack for the respective functions to clobber. Fixes out-of-RMA-access (and thus guest FPU loading) on the PS3.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Enable use of secondary htab bucketAlexander Graf
We had code to make use of the secondary htab buckets, but kept that disabled because it was unstable when I put it in. I checked again if that's still the case and apparently it was only exposing some instability that was there anyways before. I haven't seen any badness related to usage of secondary htab entries so far. This should speed up guest memory allocations by quite a bit, because we now have more space to put PTEs in.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add capability for paired singlesAlexander Graf
We need to tell userspace that we can emulate paired single instructions. So let's add a capability export. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Implement Paired Single emulationAlexander Graf
The one big thing about the Gekko is paired singles. Paired singles are an extension to the instruction set, that adds 32 single precision floating point registers (qprs), some SPRs to modify the behavior of paired singled operations and instructions to deal with qprs to the instruction set. Unfortunately, it also changes semantics of existing operations that affect single values in FPRs. In most cases they get mirrored to the coresponding QPR. Thanks to that we need to emulate all FPU operations and all the new paired single operations too. In order to achieve that, we use the just introduced FPU call helpers to call the real FPU whenever the guest wants to modify an FPR. Additionally we also fix up the QPR values along the way. That way we can execute paired single FPU operations without implementing a soft fpu. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Enable program interrupt to do MMIOAlexander Graf
When we get a program interrupt we usually don't expect it to perform an MMIO operation. But why not? When we emulate paired singles, we can end up loading or storing to an MMIO address - and the handling of those happens in the program interrupt handler. So let's teach the program interrupt handler how to deal with EMULATE_MMIO. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add helpers to modify ppc fieldsAlexander Graf
The PowerPC specification always lists bits from MSB to LSB. That is really confusing when you're trying to write C code, because it fits in pretty badly with the normal (1 << xx) schemes. So I came up with some nice wrappers that allow to get and set fields in a u64 with bit numbers exactly as given in the spec. That makes the code in KVM and the spec easier comparable.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Fix error in BAT assignmentAlexander Graf
BATs didn't work. Well, they did, but only up to BAT3. As soon as we came to BAT4 the offset calculation was screwed up and we ended up overwriting BAT0-3. Fortunately, Linux hasn't been using BAT4+. It's still a good idea to write correct code though. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add helpers to call FPU instructionsAlexander Graf
To emulate paired single instructions, we need to be able to call FPU operations from within the kernel. Since we don't want gcc to spill arbitrary FPU code everywhere, we tell it to use a soft fpu. Since we know we can really call the FPU in safe areas, let's also add some calls that we can later use to actually execute real world FPU operations on the host's FPU.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Make ext giveup non-staticAlexander Graf

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Make software load/store return eaddrAlexander Graf
The Book3S KVM implementation contains some helper functions to load and store data from and to virtual addresses. Unfortunately, this helper used to keep the physical address it so nicely found out for us to itself. So let's change that and make it return the physical address it resolved.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Implement mtsr instruction emulationAlexander Graf
The Book3S_32 specifications allows for two instructions to modify segment registers: mtsrin and mtsr. Most normal operating systems use mtsrin, because it allows to define which segment it wants to change using a register. But since I was trying to run an embedded guest, it turned out to be using mtsr with hardcoded values. So let's also emulate mtsr. It's a valid instruction after all.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Fix typo in book3s_32 debug codeAlexander Graf
There's a typo in the debug ifdef of the book3s_32 mmu emulation. While trying to debug something I stumbled across that and wanted to save anyone after me (or myself later) from having to debug that again. So let's fix the ifdef.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Preload FPU when possibleAlexander Graf
There are some situations when we're pretty sure the guest will use the FPU soon. So we can save the churn of going into the guest, finding out it does want to use the FPU and going out again. This patch adds preloading of the FPU when it's reasonable. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Combine extension interrupt handlersAlexander Graf
When we for example get an Altivec interrupt, but our guest doesn't support altivec, we need to inject a program interrupt, not an altivec interrupt. The same goes for paired singles. When an altivec interrupt arrives, we're pretty sure we need to emulate the instruction because it's a paired single operation. So let's make all the ext handlers aware that they need to jump to the program interrupt handler when an extension interrupt arrives that was not supposed to arrive for the guest CPU.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add Gekko SPRsAlexander Graf

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add hidden flag for paired singlesAlexander Graf
The Gekko implements an extension called paired singles. When the guest wants to use that extension, we need to make sure we're not running the host FPU, because all FPU instructions need to get emulated to accomodate for additional operations that occur. This patch adds an hflag to track if we're in paired single mode or not. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add AGAIN type for emulation returnAlexander Graf
Emulation of an instruction can have different outcomes. It can succeed, fail, require MMIO, do funky BookE stuff - or it can just realize something's odd and will be fixed the next time around. Exactly that is what EMULATE_AGAIN means. Using that flag we can now tell the caller that nothing happened, but we still want to go back to the guest and see what happens next time we come around.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Teach MMIO SignednessAlexander Graf
The guest I was trying to get to run uses the LHA and LHAU instructions. Those instructions basically do a load, but also sign extend the result. Since we need to fill our registers by hand when doing MMIO, we also need to sign extend manually. This patch implements sign extended MMIO and the LHA(U) instructions.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Enable MMIO to do 64 bits, fprs and qprsAlexander Graf
Right now MMIO access can only happen for GPRs and is at most 32 bit wide. That's actually enough for almost all types of hardware out there. Unfortunately, the guest I was using used FPU writes to MMIO regions, so it ended up writing 64 bit MMIOs using FPRs and QPRs. So let's add code to handle those odd cases too.

2010-04-25KVM: PPC: Add QPR registersAlexander Graf
The Gekko has GPRs, SPRs and FPRs like normal PowerPC codes, but it also has QPRs which are basically single precision only FPU registers that get used when in paired single mode. The following patches depend on them being around, so let's add the definitions early. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2010-04-07powerpc/mm: Bump SECTION_SIZE_BITS from 16MB to 256MBAnton Blanchard
The current setting for SECTION_SIZE_BITS is quite small compared to everyone else: arch/powerpc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24 arch/sparc/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30 arch/ia64/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS (30) arch/s390/include/asm/sparsemem.h:#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28 arch/x86/include/asm/sparsemem.h:# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27 And it has proven to be an issue during boot on very large machines. If hotplug memory is enabled, drivers/base/memory.c does this: for (i = 0; i < NR_MEM_SECTIONS; i++) { if (!present_section_nr(i)) continue; err = add_memory_block(0, __nr_to_section(i), MEM_ONLINE, 0, BOOT); if (!ret) ret = err; } Which creates a sysfs directory for every 16MB of memory.

2010-04-07powerpc/pseries: Call ibm,os-term if the ibm,extended-os-term is presentAnton Blanchard
We have had issues in the past with ibm,os-term initiating shutdown of a partition. This is confusing to the user, especially if panic_timeout is non zero. The temporary fix was to avoid calling ibm,os-term if a panic_timeout was set and since we set it on every boot we basically never call ibm,os-term. An extended version of ibm,os-term has since been implemented which gives us the behaviour we want: "When the platform supports extended ibm,os-term behavior, the return to the RTAS will always occur unless there is a kernel assisted dump active as initiated by an ibm,configure-kernel-dump call." This patch checks for the ibm,extended-os-term property and calls ibm,os-term if it exists.

2010-04-07powerpc/numa: Set a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE to enable zone reclaimAnton Blanchard
I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets enabled via this: /* * If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better * to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node. */ if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE) zone_reclaim_mode = 1; Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in. The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before going off node. The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables zone reclaim.

2010-04-07powerpc: Fix handling of strncmp with zero lenJeff Mahoney
Commit 0119536c, which added the assembly version of strncmp to powerpc, mentions that it adds two instructions to the version from boot/string.S to allow it to handle len=0. Unfortunately, it doesn't always return 0 when that is the case. The length is passed in r5, but the return value is passed back in r3. In certain cases, this will happen to work. Otherwise it will pass back the address of the first string as the return value. This patch lifts the len <= 0 handling code from memcpy to handle that case.
