Currently each available hugepage size uses a slightly different
pagetable layout: that is, the bottem level table of pointers to
hugepages is a different size, and may branch off from the normal page
tables at a different level. Every hugepage aware path that needs to
walk the pagetables must therefore look up the hugepage size from the
slice info first, and work out the correct way to walk the pagetables
accordingly. Future hardware is likely to add more possible hugepage
sizes, more layout options and more mess.
This patch, therefore reworks the handling of hugepage pagetables to
reduce this complexity. In the new scheme, instead of having to
consult the slice mask, pagetable walking code can check a flag in the
PGD/PUD/PMD entries to see where to branch off to hugepage pagetables,
and the entry also contains the information (eseentially hugepage
shift) necessary to then interpret that table without recourse to the
slice mask. This scheme can be extended neatly to handle multiple
levels of self-describing "special" hugepage pagetables, although for
now we assume only one level exists.
This approach means that only the pagetable allocation path needs to
know how the pagetables should be set out. All other (hugepage)
pagetable walking paths can just interpret the structure as they go.
There already was a flag bit in PGD/PUD/PMD entries for hugepage
directory pointers, but it was only used for debug. We alter that
flag bit to instead be a 0 in the MSB to indicate a hugepage pagetable
pointer (normally it would be 1 since the pointer lies in the linear
mapping). This means that asm pagetable walking can test for (and
punt on) hugepage pointers with the same test that checks for
unpopulated page directory entries (beq becomes bge), since hugepage
pointers will always be positive, and normal pointers always negative.
While we're at it, we get rid of the confusing (and grep defeating)
#defining of hugepte_shift to be the same thing as mmu_huge_psizes.

This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit.
While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an
interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor.
This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked.
Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied:
<idle>-0 [006] 3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10
<idle>-0 [006] 3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10
<idle>-0 [007] 3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10
<idle>-0 [007] 3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10
<idle>-0 [000] 3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0
<idle>-0 [000] 3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0
<idle>-0 [000] 3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled
<idle>-0 [000] 3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0
Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed
by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we

address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out
the saved real return address.
On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which
is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return
is to mod_return_to_handler as well.

On machines without the ibm,client-architecture-support call we were missing a
newline. We may as well print the full name in all its glory too - its
ibm,client-architecture-support, not ibm,client-architecture as I mistakenly
wrote (a name only an IBM architect could love).
For my penance I will write out ibm,client-architecture-support 100 times.

perf_counter uses arch_vma_name() to detect a vdso region which in turn uses

If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can
put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be
in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a
performance penalty.
This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G
pages.
On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of
256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into
the L1 cache), we see the improvement:
Force malloc to use heap all the time:
# export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1
Disable heap randomization:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
12.51s
Enable heap randomization:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
1.70s

The former is no longer really accurate with the swiotlb case now
a possibility. I also move it into dma-mapping.h - it no longer
needs to be in dma.c, and there are about to be some more accessors
that should all end up in the same place. A comment is added to
indicate that this function is not used in configs where there is no
simple dma offset, such as the iommu case.

This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code
where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were
missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry ->
group_entry, counter_list -> group_list").
This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of
contexts:
* Field and function names that deal with the limited-function
counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is
limited, not the events that they count. Hence:
MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS
limited_event -> limited_counter
freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters
* The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this
renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how
many hardware counters the machine has. (Renaming this back avoids
a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where
they initialize their power_pmu struct.)

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Commit 5622f295 ("x86, perf_counter, bts: Optimize BTS overflow

Michael Ellerman reported stack-frame size warnings being produced
for power_check_constraints(), which uses an 8*8 array of u64 and
two 8*8 arrays of unsigned long, which are currently allocated on the
stack, along with some other smaller variables. These arrays come
to 1.5kB on 64-bit or 1kB on 32-bit, which is a bit too much for the
stack.
This fixes the problem by putting these arrays in the existing
per-cpu cpu_hw_counters struct. This is OK because two of the call
sites have interrupts disabled already; for the third call site we
use get_cpu_var, which disables preemption, so we know we won't
get a context switch while we're in power_check_constraints().
Note that power_check_constraints() can be called during context
switch but is not called from interrupts.

Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.
Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular
it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.

The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not
being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during
migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB
size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the
SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to
migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after
migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also
add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration
tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability
before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

Time time taken for a single cpu online operation on a pseries machine
is as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): ~220ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5) : ~240ms.
Of this time, approximately 200ms is taken up by __cpu_up(). This is because
we poll every 200ms to check if the new cpu has notified it's presence
through the cpu_callin_map. We repeat this operation until the new cpu sets
the value in cpu_callin_map or 5 seconds elapse, whichever comes earlier.
However, using completion_structs instead of polling loops,
the time taken by the new processor to indicate it's presence has
found to be less than 1ms on pseries. This method however may not
work on all powerpc platforms due to the time-base synchronization code.
Keeping this in mind, we could reduce msleep polling interval from
200ms to 1ms while retaining the 5 second timeout.
With this, the time taken for a cpu online operation changes as follows:
Dedicated LPAR (POWER6): 20-25ms.
Shared LPAR (POWER5) : 60-80ms.
In both these cases, it was found that the code polls through the loop
only once indicating that 1ms is a reasonable value, atleast on pseries.
The code needs testing on other powerpc platforms.

The ptrace POKETEXT interface allows a process to modify the text pages of

calls __flush_icache_range to invalidate the icache lines for the child

However, this function does not work on 44x due to the icache being virtually
indexed. This was noticed by a breakpoint being triggered after it had been
cleared by ltrace on a 440EPx board. The convenient solution is to do a

This is an attempt at cleaning up a bit the way we handle execute

defined by CPUs that can do something with it, and the myriad of
#ifdef's in the I$/D$ coherency code is reduced to 2 cases that
hopefully should cover everything.
The logic on BookE is a little bit different than what it was though
not by much. Since now, _PAGE_EXEC will be set by the generic code
for executable pages, we need to filter out if they are unclean and
recover it. However, I don't expect the code to be more bloated than
it already was in that area due to that change.
I could boast that this brings proper enforcing of per-page execute
permissions to all BookE and 40x but in fact, we've had that now for
some time as a side effect of my previous rework in that area (and
I didn't even know it :-) We would only enable execute permission if
the page was cache clean and we would only cache clean it if we took
and exec fault. Since we now enforce that the later only work if
VM_EXEC is part of the VMA flags, we de-fact already enforce per-page
execute permissions... Unless I missed something

This adds support for tracing callchains for powerpc, both 32-bit
and 64-bit, and both in the kernel and userspace, from PMU interrupt
context.
The first three entries stored for each callchain are the NIP (next
instruction pointer), LR (link register), and the contents of the LR
save area in the second stack frame (the first is ignored because the
ABI convention on powerpc is that functions save their return address
in their caller's stack frame). Because leaf functions don't have to
save their return address (LR value) and don't have to establish a
stack frame, it's possible for either or both of LR and the second
stack frame's LR save area to have valid return addresses in them.
This is basically impossible to disambiguate without either reading
the code or looking at auxiliary information such as CFI tables.
Since we don't want to do either of those things at interrupt time,
we store both LR and the second stack frame's LR save area.
Once we get past the second stack frame, there is no ambiguity; all
return addresses we get are reliable.
For kernel traces, we check whether they are valid kernel instruction
addresses and store zero instead if they are not (rather than
omitting them, which would make it impossible for userspace to know
which was which). We also store zero instead of the second stack
frame's LR save area value if it is the same as LR.
For kernel traces, we check for interrupt frames, and for user traces,
we check for signal frames. In each case, since we're starting a new
trace, we store a PERF_CONTEXT_KERNEL/USER marker so that userspace
knows that the next three entries are NIP, LR and the second stack frame
for the interrupted context.
We read user memory with __get_user_inatomic. On 64-bit, if this
PMU interrupt occurred while interrupts are soft-disabled, and
there is no MMU hash table entry for the page, we will get an
-EFAULT return from __get_user_inatomic even if there is a valid
Linux PTE for the page, since hash_page isn't reentrant. Thus we
have code here to read the Linux PTE and access the page via the
kernel linear mapping. Since 64-bit doesn't use (or need) highmem
there is no need to do kmap_atomic. On 32-bit, we don't do soft
interrupt disabling, so this complication doesn't occur and there
is no need to fall back to reading the Linux PTE, since hash_page
(or the TLB miss handler) will get called automatically if necessary.
Note that we cannot get PMU interrupts in the interval during
context switch between switch_mm (which switches the user address
space) and switch_to (which actually changes current to the new
process). On 64-bit this is because interrupts are hard-disabled
in switch_mm and stay hard-disabled until they are soft-enabled
later, after switch_to has returned. So there is no possibility
of trying to do a user stack trace when the user address space is
not current's address space.

This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access
user memory in a PMU interrupt routine. Such an access can cause
various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment
table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor. This commit
only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU
hash table. 32-bit processors are already able to access user memory
at interrupt time. Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid
the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers,
since they run with interrupts disabled.
On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will
update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca. This is
OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb,
which also accesses those fields. To prevent this, we hard-disable
interrupts in switch_slb. Interrupts are already soft-disabled at
this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled
later.
This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice,
and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from
other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to
__slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new
version of slb_flush_and_rebolt.
Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a
hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and

If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call
hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE.
However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to
avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count
to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call
hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get
reported up through the exception table mechanism. An interrupt
whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when
soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI
handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than
irq_enter()/irq_exit().

The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a
better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the
host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the
read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.
