Benjamin Herrenschmidt ed79ba9e15 powerpc/powernv: Machine check and other system interrupts
OPAL can handle various interrupt for us such as Machine Checks (it
performs all sorts of recovery tasks and passes back control to us with
informations about the error), Hardware Management Interrupts and Softpatch
interrupts.

This wires up the mechanisms and prints out specific informations returned
by HAL when a machine check occurs.

Paul Mackerras de56a948b9 KVM: PPC: Add support for Book3S processors in hypervisor mode
This adds support for KVM running on 64-bit Book 3S processors,
specifically POWER7, in hypervisor mode.  Using hypervisor mode means
that the guest can use the processor's supervisor mode.  That means
that the guest can execute privileged instructions and access privileged
registers itself without trapping to the host.  This gives excellent
performance, but does mean that KVM cannot emulate a processor
architecture other than the one that the hardware implements.

This code assumes that the guest is running paravirtualized using the
PAPR (Power Architecture Platform Requirements) interface, which is the
interface that IBM's PowerVM hypervisor uses.  That means that existing
Linux distributions that run on IBM pSeries machines will also run
under KVM without modification.  In order to communicate the PAPR
hypercalls to qemu, this adds a new KVM_EXIT_PAPR_HCALL exit code
to include/linux/kvm.h.

Currently the choice between book3s_hv support and book3s_pr support
(i.e. the existing code, which runs the guest in user mode) has to be
made at kernel configuration time, so a given kernel binary can only
do one or the other.

This new book3s_hv code doesn't support MMIO emulation at present.
Since we are running paravirtualized guests, this isn't a serious
restriction.

With the guest running in supervisor mode, most exceptions go straight
to the guest.  We will never get data or instruction storage or segment
interrupts, alignment interrupts, decrementer interrupts, program
interrupts, single-step interrupts, etc., coming to the hypervisor from
the guest.  Therefore this introduces a new KVMTEST_NONHV macro for the
exception entry path so that we don't have to do the KVM test on entry
to those exception handlers.

We do however get hypervisor decrementer, hypervisor data storage,
hypervisor instruction storage, and hypervisor emulation assist
interrupts, so we have to handle those.

In hypervisor mode, real-mode accesses can access all of RAM, not just
a limited amount.  Therefore we put all the guest state in the vcpu.arch
and use the shadow_vcpu in the PACA only for temporary scratch space.
We allocate the vcpu with kzalloc rather than vzalloc, and we don't use
anything in the kvmppc_vcpu_book3s struct, so we don't allocate it.
We don't have a shared page with the guest, but we still need a
kvm_vcpu_arch_shared struct to store the values of various registers,
so we include one in the vcpu_arch struct.

The POWER7 processor has a restriction that all threads in a core have
to be in the same partition.  MMU-on kernel code counts as a partition
(partition 0), so we have to do a partition switch on every entry to and
exit from the guest.  At present we require the host and guest to run
in single-thread mode because of this hardware restriction.

This code allocates a hashed page table for the guest and initializes
it with HPTEs for the guest's Virtual Real Memory Area (VRMA).  We
require that the guest memory is allocated using 16MB huge pages, in
order to simplify the low-level memory management.  This also means that
we can get away without tracking paging activity in the host for now,
since huge pages can't be paged or swapped.

This also adds a few new exports needed by the book3s_hv code.

Paul Mackerras 3c42bf8a71 KVM: PPC: Split host-state fields out of kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu
There are several fields in struct kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu that
temporarily store bits of host state while a guest is running,
rather than anything relating to the particular guest or vcpu.
This splits them out into a new kvmppc_host_state structure and
modifies the definitions in asm-offsets.c to suit.

On 32-bit, we have a kvmppc_host_state structure inside the
kvmppc_book3s_shadow_vcpu since the assembly code needs to be able
to get to them both with one pointer.  On 64-bit they are separate
fields in the PACA.  This means that on 64-bit we don't need to
copy the kvmppc_host_state in and out on vcpu load/unload, and
in future will mean that the book3s_hv code doesn't need a
shadow_vcpu struct in the PACA at all.  That does mean that we
have to be careful not to rely on any values persisting in the
hstate field of the paca across any point where we could block
or get preempted.

Scott Wood f67f4ef5fc powerpc/book3e-64: use a separate TLB handler when linear map is bolted
On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is
bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses.  If on top of
that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and
can dispense with some state saving.  This gains a few percent on
TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high
rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler.

While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and
EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

Paul Mackerras 48404f2e95 powerpc: Save Come-From Address Register (CFAR) in exception frame
Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From
Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent
branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes.

This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores
it in the exception frame.  We also make xmon print the CFAR value in
its register dump code.

Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3
field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value
for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls.  This means we
don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since
system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the
overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

Fix up conflict with the generic irq_work changes in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c

Peter Zijlstra e360adbe29 irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacks
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.

Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.

The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.

Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Paul Mackerras cf9efce0ce powerpc: Account time using timebase rather than PURR
Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times.  This turns out to be quite confusing for users
because it means that a program will often be measured as taking
less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode)
than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even
though the program takes longer to finish.  The discrepancy is
accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly
when there are no other partitions running.

This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that
the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time
seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread,
regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in.  Thus a program will
generally show greater user and system times when run on a
multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor.

On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the
stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the
hypervisor dispatch trace log.  We check for new entries in the
log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from
kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when
account_system_vtime() gets called).  So that we can correctly
distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system
time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode,
we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from
user mode.

On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR
in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR
ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and
scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user
time and system time over the same interval.  This avoids having to
read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit.  On systems that have
PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR
rather than the SPURR.

This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl
for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log
by the time accounting code.

Michael Neuling 1fc711f7ff powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown
In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to
kexec_smp_down().  kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets
the hw_cpu_id() to -1.  The primary does this while leaving IRQs on
which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to
the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance)
but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU
-1... Kaboom!

We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines.

There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU
mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode.

Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before
guaranteeing that no more will be received.

This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the
primary CPU much earlier.  It adds a paca flag to say that the
secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs,
rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1.  This new paca flag is
again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode.

It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out
any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no
trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

Michael Ellerman 1426d5a3bd powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas
On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.

We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.

The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
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. )

Benjamin Herrenschmidt dce6670aaa powerpc: Add PACA fields specific to 64-bit Book3E processors
This adds various fields in the PACA that are for use specifically
by Book3E processors, such as exception save areas, current pgd
pointer, special exceptions kernel stacks etc...

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 91c60b5b82 powerpc: Separate PACA fields for server CPUs
This patch has no effect other than re-ordering PACA fields on
current server CPUs. It however is a pre-requisite for future
support of BookE 64-bit processors. Various parts of the PACA
struct are now moved under some ifdef's, either the new
CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S or CONFIG_PPC_STD_MMU_64, whatever seems more
appropriate.

Paul Mackerras 93a6d3ce69 powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled
Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
handler.

This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.

Paul Mackerras 1f6a93e4c3 powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to
the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to
have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel.  Now,
instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top
32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and
ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of
the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset.

This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for
the handler with a load from the paca.  That makes it unnecessary to
have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit
mode.

We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code,
which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to
.slb_miss_realmode any more.  Instead we have to compute the address
and do an indirect branch.  This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE;
for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before.  (A later
change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.)

Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100
bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is,
we can't use a direct branch to get there.  Instead this changes
__secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer.  When it
is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function
pointed to by that value.

Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit
by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU
spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

Stephen Rothwell b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
