powerpc: Fix oops due to bad access of lppaca on bare metal

2018-04-03T11:50:07Z

Commit 8e0b634b1327 ("powerpc/64s: Do not allocate lppaca if we are not virtualized") removed allocation of lppaca on bare metal platforms. But with CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR enabled, we still access the lppaca on bare metal in some code paths. Fix this but adding runtime checks for SPLPAR (shared processor LPAR).

powerpc/64s: Allocate LPPACAs individually

2018-03-30T12:34:24Z

We no longer allocate lppacas in an array, so this patch removes the 1kB static alignment for the structure, and enforces the PAPR alignment requirements at allocation time. We can not reduce the 1kB allocation size however, due to existing KVM hypervisors. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/64: Use array of paca pointers and allocate pacas individually

2018-03-30T12:34:23Z

Change the paca array into an array of pointers to pacas. Allocate pacas individually. This allows flexibility in where the PACAs are allocated. Future work will allocate them node-local. Platforms that don't have address limits on PACAs would be able to defer PACA allocations until later in boot rather than allocate all possible ones up-front then freeing unused. This is slightly more overhead (one additional indirection) for cross CPU paca references, but those aren't too common. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Make slb_shadow a local

2013-12-09T00:40:25Z

The only external user of slb_shadow is the pseries lpar code, and it can access through the paca array instead. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/pseries: Fix dedicated processor partition detection

2013-10-30T05:01:43Z

commit f13c13a00512 (powerpc: Stop using non-architected shared_proc field in lppaca) fixed a potential issue with shared/dedicated partition detection. The old method of detection relied on an unarchitected field (shared_proc), and this patch switched to using something architected (a non zero yield_count). Unfortunately the assertion in the Linux header that yield_count is only non zero on shared processor partitions is not true. It turns out dedicated processor partitions can increment yield_count and as such we falsely detect dedicated partitions as shared. Fix the comment, and switch back to using the old method.

powerpc: Add endian annotations to lppaca, slb_shadow and dtl_entry

powerpc: Stop using non-architected shared_proc field in lppaca

2013-08-14T01:50:26Z

Although the shared_proc field in the lppaca works today, it is not architected. A shared processor partition will always have a non zero yield_count so use that instead. Create a wrapper so users don't have to know about the details. In order for older kernels to continue to work on KVM we need to set the shared_proc bit. While here, remove the ugly bitfield.

powerpc/pseries: Inform the hypervisor we are using EBB regs

2013-07-01T01:50:17Z

On LPAR systems we need to inform the hypervisor that we are using the EBB registers. We do this by setting a bit in the Virtual Processor Area (VPA) - formerly known as the lppaca. For now we do this always, ie. we do not dynamically enable/disable. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting

2013-01-27T18:23:27Z

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.
