EEH recovery currently fails on pSeries for some IOV capable PCI
devices, if CONFIG_PCI_IOV is on and the hypervisor doesn't provide
certain device tree properties for the device. (Found on an IOV
capable device using the ipr driver.)
Recovery fails in pci_enable_resources() at the check on r->parent,
because r->flags is set and r->parent is not. This state is due to
sriov_init() setting the start, end and flags members of the IOV BARs
but the parent not being set later in
pseries_pci_fixup_iov_resources(), because the
"ibm,open-sriov-vf-bar-info" property is missing.
Correct this by zeroing the resource flags for IOV BARs when they
can't be configured (this is the same method used by sriov_init() and
__pci_read_base()).
VFs cleared this way can't be enabled later, because that requires
another device tree property, "ibm,number-of-configurable-vfs" as well
as support for the RTAS function "ibm_map_pes". These are all part of
hypervisor support for IOV and it seems unlikely that a hypervisor
would ever partially, but not fully, support it. (None are currently
provided by QEMU/KVM.)

OPAL firmware provides the facility for some groups of sensors to be
enabled/disabled at runtime to give the user the option of using the
system resources for collecting these sensors or not.
For example, on POWER9 systems, the On Chip Controller (OCC) gathers
various system and chip level sensors and maintains their values in
main memory.
This patch provides support for enabling/disabling the sensor groups

Some of the event counters are overloaded which makes it very
difficult to interpret their values.
Counter 0 is supposed to report CB1 interrupts but it can also count
PMU_INT_WAITING_CHARGER events.
Counter 1 is supposed to report GPIO interrupts but it can also count
other events (depending upon the value of the PMU_INT_ADB bit).
Disambiguate these statistics with dedicated counters for GPIO and
CB1 interrupts.
Comments in the MkLinux source code say that the type 0 and type 1
interrupts are model-specific. Label them as "unknown".
This change to the contents of /proc/pmu/interrupts is by necessity
visible in userland. However, packages which interact with the PMU
(that is, pbbuttonsd, pmac-utils and pmud) don't open this file.
AFAIK, user software has no need to poll these counters.

Indicating that a PUD was being leaked.
However what's really happening is that kmemleak is not able to
recognise the references from the PGD to the PUD, because they are not
fully qualified pointers.
We can confirm that in xmon, eg:
Find the task struct for pid 1 "init":
0:mon> P

c0000000f8b01030 0000000000000000 00000000f8b80000 |................|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There we can see the reference to our supposedly leaked PUD. But
because it's missing the leading 0xc, kmemleak won't recognise it.
We can confirm it's still in use by translating an address that is
mapped via it:
0:mon> dv 7fff94000000 c0000001fe7c0000
pgd @ 0xc0000000f8b01000
pgdp @ 0xc0000000f8b01038 = 0x00000000f8b80000 <--
pudp @ 0xc0000000f8b81ff8 = 0x00000000037c4000
pmdp @ 0xc0000000037c5ca0 = 0x00000000fbd89000
ptep @ 0xc0000000fbd89000 = 0xc0800001d5ce0386
Maps physical address = 0x00000001d5ce0000
Flags = Accessed Dirty Read Write
The fix is fairly simple. We need to tell kmemleak to ignore PUD
allocations and never report them as leaks. We can also tell it not to
scan the PGD, because it will never find pointers in there. However it
will still notice if we allocate a PGD and then leak it.

opal_put_chars deals with partial writes because in OPALv1,
opal_console_write_buffer_space did not work correctly. That firmware
is not supported.
This reworks the opal_put_chars code to no longer deal with partial
writes by turning them into full writes. Partial write handling is still
supported in terms of what gets returned to the caller, but it may not
go to the console atomically. A warning message is printed in this
case.
This allows console flushing to be moved out of the opal_write_lock
spinlock. That could cause the lock to be held for long periods if the
console is busy (especially if it was being spammed by firmware),
which is dangerous because the lock is taken by xmon to debug the
system. Flushing outside the lock improves the situation a bit.

The intention here is to consume and discard the remaining buffer
upon error. This works if there has not been a previous partial write.
If there has been, then total_len is no longer total number of bytes
to copy. total_len is always "bytes left to copy", so it should be
added to written bytes.
This code may not be exercised any more if partial writes will not be

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits
VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store.
The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM,
who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will
make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any
improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for
KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes
in following mail.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629
And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch.
Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32
bytes. More specifically:
- 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes;
- 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes;
- 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes;
So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking.
The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a
non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes.
This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX
operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to
KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average
execution time with this patch.
And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size
is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

------
Without this patch (but with the first patch "powerpc/64: Align bytes
before fall back to .Lshort in powerpc64 memcmp()." in the series):
4.726728762 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.54%)
With VMX patch:
4.234335473 seconds time elapsed ( +- 2.63%)
There is ~+10% improvement.
Testing with unaligned and different offset version (make s1 and s2 shift
random offset within 16 bytes) can archieve higher improvement than 10%..

Some old tool chains don't know about instructions like vcmpequd.
This patch adds .long macro for vcmpequd and vcmpequb, which is
a preparation to optimize ppc64 memcmp with VMX instructions.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:
1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly
and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode.
2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly,
then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode.
This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations.
Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on
little endian.
Following is the test result with src/dst having the same offset case:
(a similar result was observed when src/dst having different offset):
(1) 256 bytes
Test with the existing tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp:
- without patch
29.773018302 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.09% )
- with patch
16.485568173 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.02% )
-> There is ~+80% percent improvement
(2) 32 bytes
To observe performance impact on < 32 bytes, modify
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp.c with following:
-------
#include <string.h>
#include "utils.h"
-#define SIZE 256
+#define SIZE 32
#define ITERATIONS 10000
int test_memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);
--------
- Without patch
0.244746482 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36%)
- with patch
0.215069477 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.51%)
-> There is ～+13% improvement
(3) 0~8 bytes
To observe <8 bytes performance impact, modify
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp.c with following:
-------
#include <string.h>
#include "utils.h"
-#define SIZE 256
-#define ITERATIONS 10000
+#define SIZE 8
+#define ITERATIONS 1000000
int test_memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

- Without patch
1.845642503 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.12% )
- With patch
1.849767135 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.26% )
-> They are nearly the same. (-0.2%)
