From ad98dd1a75ac6a8b68cd2f7bf4676b65734f2a43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 08:37:54 +1100 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add more barriers in XIVE load/unload code On POWER9 systems, we push the VCPU context onto the XIVE (eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) hardware when entering a guest, and pull the context off the XIVE when exiting the guest. The push is done with cache-inhibited stores, and the pull with cache-inhibited loads. Testing has revealed that it is possible (though very rare) for the stores to get reordered with the loads so that we end up with the guest VCPU context still loaded on the XIVE after we have exited the guest. When that happens, it is possible for the same VCPU context to then get loaded on another CPU, which causes the machine to checkstop. To fix this, we add I/O barrier instructions (eieio) before and after the push and pull operations. As partial compensation for the potential slowdown caused by the extra barriers, we remove the eieio instructions between the two stores in the push operation, and between the two loads in the pull operation. (The architecture requires loads to cache-inhibited, guarded storage to be kept in order, and requires stores to cache-inhibited, guarded storage likewise to be kept in order, but allows such loads and stores to be reordered with respect to each other.)
