The pmem infrastructure uses memcpy_mcsafe in the pmem layer so as to
convert machine check exceptions into a return value on failure in case
a machine check exception is encountered during the memcpy. The return
value is the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
This patch largely borrows from the copyuser_power7 logic and does not add
the VMX optimizations, largely to keep the patch simple. If needed those
optimizations can be folded in.

CONFIG_KASAN implements wrappers for memcpy() memmove() and memset()
Those wrappers are doing the verification then call respectively
__memcpy() __memmove() and __memset(). The arches are therefore
expected to rename their optimised functions that way.
For files on which KASAN is inhibited, #defines are used to allow
them to directly call optimised versions of the functions without
going through the KASAN wrappers.
See commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for
memset/memmove/memcpy functions") for details.
Other string / mem functions do not (yet) have kasan wrappers,
we therefore have to fallback to the generic versions when
KASAN is active, otherwise KASAN checks will be skipped.

This enhances the current selftest framework for validating
the in-kernel instruction emulation infrastructure by adding
support for compute type instructions i.e. integer ALU-based
instructions. Originally, this framework was limited to only
testing load and store instructions.
While most of the GPRs can be validated, support for SPRs is
limited to LR, CR and XER for now.
When writing the test cases, one must ensure that the Stack
Pointer (GPR1) or the Thread Pointer (GPR13) are not touched
by any means as these are vital non-volatile registers.

We implement regs_set_return_value() and override_function_with_return()
for this purpose.
On powerpc, a return from a function (blr) just branches to the location
contained in the link register. So, we can just update pt_regs rather
than redirecting execution to a dummy function that returns.

Back when I added -Werror in commit ba55bd74360e ("powerpc: Add
configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc") I did it by adding it to most
of the arch Makefiles.
At the time we excluded math-emu, because apparently it didn't build
cleanly. But that seems to have been fixed somewhere in the interim.
So move the -Werror addition to the top-level of the arch, this saves
us from repeating it in every Makefile and means we won't forget to
add it to any new sub-dirs.

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte.
This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire
words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do.
On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings.
strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values:
Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c):
len 256 : time = 1.195055
len 016 : time = 0.083745
len 008 : time = 0.046828
len 004 : time = 0.028390
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment
len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation
On a 832x:
Before the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.236125
len 016 : time = 0.018136
len 008 : time = 0.011000
len 004 : time = 0.007229
After the patch:
len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment
len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment
len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment

At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory
byte per byte.
This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word.
On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17418 ("powerpc: Add 64bit
optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated
file named memcmp_32.S
A small benchmark performed on an 8xx comparing two chuncks
of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives:
Before : 5852274 TB ticks
After: 1488638 TB ticks
This is almost 4 times faster

Rewrite clear_user() on the same principle as memset(0), making use
of dcbz to clear complete cache lines.
This code is a copy/paste of memset(), with some modifications
in order to retrieve remaining number of bytes to be cleared,
as it needs to be returned in case of error.
On the same way as done on PPC64 in commit 17968fbbd19f1
("powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user"), the patch moves
__clear_user() into a dedicated file string_32.S
On a MPC885, throughput is almost doubled:
Before:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 18.990779 seconds, 52.7MB/s
After:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 9.611468 seconds, 104.0MB/s
On a MPC8321, throughput is multiplied by 2.12:
Before:

1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 6.844352 seconds, 146.1MB/s

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
Non-highlights:
- Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
with x86.
Highlights:
- Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
- Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
- Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
- Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
- Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
- Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
some Power9 revisions.
- Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
- A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
- Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
using transactional memory.
- Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
Power9.
- Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
handles requests.
- Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make
up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions
are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store)
instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of
coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API
requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This
will probably change in the not-too-distant future.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This replaces almost all of the instruction emulation code in
fix_alignment() with calls to analyse_instr(), emulate_loadstore()
and emulate_dcbz(). The only emulation code left is the SPE
emulation code; analyse_instr() etc. do not handle SPE instructions
at present.
One result of this is that we can now handle alignment faults on
all the new VSX load and store instructions that were added in POWER9.
VSX loads/stores will take alignment faults for unaligned accesses
to cache-inhibited memory.
Another effect is that we no longer rely on the DAR and DSISR values
set by the processor.
With this, we now need to include the instruction emulation code
unconditionally.

This extends the instruction emulation infrastructure in sstep.c to
handle all the load and store instructions defined in the Power ISA
v3.0, except for the atomic memory operations, ldmx (which was never
implemented), lfdp/stfdp, and the vector element load/stores.
The instructions added are:
Integer loads and stores: lbarx, lharx, lqarx, stbcx., sthcx., stqcx.,
lq, stq.
VSX loads and stores: lxsiwzx, lxsiwax, stxsiwx, lxvx, lxvl, lxvll,
lxvdsx, lxvwsx, stxvx, stxvl, stxvll, lxsspx, lxsdx, stxsspx, stxsdx,
lxvw4x, lxsibzx, lxvh8x, lxsihzx, lxvb16x, stxvw4x, stxsibx, stxvh8x,
stxsihx, stxvb16x, lxsd, lxssp, lxv, stxsd, stxssp, stxv.
These instructions are handled both in the analyse_instr phase and in
the emulate_step phase.
The code for lxvd2ux and stxvd2ux has been taken out, as those
instructions were never implemented in any processor and have been
taken out of the architecture, and their opcodes have been reused for
other instructions in POWER9 (lxvb16x and stxvb16x).
The emulation for the VSX loads and stores uses helper functions
which don't access registers or memory directly, which can hopefully
be reused by KVM later.

altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled.
The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however
the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to

This patch splits the non-altivec code into xor_vmx_glue.c which calls the
altivec functions in xor_vmx.c. By compiling xor_vmx_glue.c without
-maltivec we can guarantee that altivec instruction will not be executed
outside of the enable/disable block.

Commit 2578bfae84a7 ("[POWERPC] Create and use CONFIG_WORD_SIZE") added
CONFIG_WORD_SIZE, and suggests that other arches were going to do
likewise.
But that never happened, powerpc is the only architecture which uses it.
So switch to using a simple make variable, BITS, like x86, sh, sparc and
tile. It is also easier to spell and simpler, avoiding any confusion
about whether it's defined due to ordering of make vs kconfig.

which otherwise is implemented in include/net/checksum.h by using

Those two wrapper fonctions are also applicable to powerpc32 as it is

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large
KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a
time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better.
Optimise the loop in a few ways:
- Unroll the byte at a time loop
- For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte
aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte
loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp.
A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte
memcmp was used to measure the performance:
baseline: 29.93 s
modified: 1.70 s
Just over 17x faster.
v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher:
- Use andi. instead of rdlicl.
- Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare
and was a relic from a previous version.
- Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local
atomics.

Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian.
This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores.
Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops
(which are already endian safe).
The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit
memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is.
Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because
we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through
rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for
all other 64bit platforms.

Add a VMX optimised xor, used primarily for RAID5. On a POWER7 blade
this is a decent win:
32regs : 17932.800 MB/sec
altivec : 19724.800 MB/sec
The bigger gain is when the same test is run in SMT4 mode, as it
would if there was a lot of work going on:
8regs : 8377.600 MB/sec
altivec : 15801.600 MB/sec
I tested this against an array created without the patch, and also
verified it worked as expected on a little endian kernel.

Finally remove the two level TOC and build with -mcmodel=medium.
Unfortunately we can't build modules with -mcmodel=medium due to
the tricks the kernel module loader plays with percpu data:
# -mcmodel=medium breaks modules because it uses 32bit offsets from
# the TOC pointer to create pointers where possible. Pointers into the
# percpu data area are created by this method.
#
# The kernel module loader relocates the percpu data section from the
# original location (starting with 0xd...) to somewhere in the base
# kernel percpu data space (starting with 0xc...). We need a full
# 64bit relocation for this to work, hence -mcmodel=large.
On older kernels we fall back to the two level TOC (-mminimal-toc)

Implement a POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch
instructions.
This is a copy of the POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user
loop. Detailed implementation and performance details can be found in
commit a66086b8197d (powerpc: POWER7 optimised
copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX).
I noticed memcpy issues when profiling a RAID6 workload:
.memcpy
.async_memcpy
.async_copy_data
.__raid_run_ops
.handle_stripe
.raid5d
.md_thread
I created a simplified testcase by building a RAID6 array with 4 1GB
ramdisks (booting with brd.rd_size=1048576):
# mdadm -CR -e 1.2 /dev/md0 --level=6 -n4 /dev/ram[0-3]
I then timed how long it took to write to the entire array:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/md0 bs=1M
Before: 892 MB/s
After: 999 MB/s
A 12% improvement.

(eg we are in an interrupt).

I noticed __clear_user high up in a profile of one of my RAID stress
tests. The testcase was doing a dd from /dev/zero which ends up
calling __clear_user.
__clear_user is basically a loop with a single 4 byte store which
is horribly slow. We can do much better by aligning the desination
and doing 32 bytes of 8 byte stores in a loop.
The following testcase was used to verify the patch:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/stress_clear_user.c
To show the improvement in performance I ran a dd from /dev/zero
to /dev/null on a POWER7 box:
Before:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 3.72379 s, 2.8 GB/s
After:
# time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=10000
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 0.728318 s, 14.4 GB/s
Over 5x faster.

Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_to_user/copy_from_user using VMX.
For large aligned copies this new loop is over 10% faster, and for
large unaligned copies it is over 200% faster.
If we take a fault we fall back to the old version, this keeps
things relatively simple and easy to verify.
On POWER7 unaligned stores rarely slow down - they only flush when
a store crosses a 4KB page boundary. Furthermore this flush is
handled completely in hardware and should be 20-30 cycles.
Unaligned loads on the other hand flush much more often - whenever
crossing a 128 byte cache line, or a 32 byte sector if either sector
is an L1 miss.
Considering this information we really want to get the loads aligned
and not worry about the alignment of the stores. Microbenchmarks
confirm that this approach is much faster than the current unaligned
copy loop that uses shifts and rotates to ensure both loads and
stores are aligned.
We also want to try and do the stores in cacheline aligned, cacheline
sized chunks. If the store queue is unable to merge an entire
cacheline of stores then the L2 cache will have to do a
read/modify/write. Even worse, we will serialise this with the stores
in the next iteration of the copy loop since both iterations hit
the same cacheline.
Based on this, the new loop does the following things:
1 - 127 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores. Pretty
boring and similar to how the current loop works.
128 - 4095 bytes
Get the source 8 byte aligned and use 8 byte loads and stores,
1 cacheline at a time. We aren't doing the stores in cacheline
aligned chunks so we will potentially serialise once per cacheline.
Even so it is much better than the loop we have today.
4096 - bytes
If both source and destination have the same alignment get them both
16 byte aligned, then get the destination cacheline aligned. Do
cacheline sized loads and stores using VMX.
If source and destination do not have the same alignment, we get the
destination cacheline aligned, and use permute to do aligned loads.
In both cases the VMX loop should be optimal - we always do aligned
loads and stores and are always doing stores in cacheline aligned,
cacheline sized chunks.
To be able to use VMX we must be careful about interrupts and
sleeping. We don't use the VMX loop when in an interrupt (which should
be rare anyway) and we wrap the VMX loop in disable/enable_pagefault
and fall back to the existing copy_tofrom_user loop if we do need to
sleep.
The VMX breakpoint of 4096 bytes was chosen using this microbenchmark:
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c
Since we are using VMX and there is a cost to saving and restoring
the user VMX state there are two broad cases we need to benchmark:
- Best case - userspace never uses VMX
- Worst case - userspace always uses VMX
In reality a userspace process will sit somewhere between these two
extremes. Since we need to test both aligned and unaligned copies we
end up with 4 combinations. The point at which the VMX loop begins to
win is:
0% VMX
aligned 2048 bytes
unaligned 2048 bytes
100% VMX
aligned 16384 bytes
unaligned 8192 bytes
Considering this is a microbenchmark, the data is hot in cache and
the VMX loop has better store queue merging properties we set the
breakpoint to 4096 bytes, a little below the unaligned breakpoints.
Some future optimisations we can look at:
- Looking at the perf data, a significant part of the cost when a
task is always using VMX is the extra exception we take to restore
the VMX state. As such we should do something similar to the x86
optimisation that restores FPU state for heavy users. ie:
/*
* If the task has used fpu the last 5 timeslices, just do a full
* restore of the math state immediately to avoid the trap; the
* chances of needing FPU soon are obviously high now
*/
preload_fpu = tsk_used_math(next_p) && next_p->fpu_counter > 5;
and
/*
* fpu_counter contains the number of consecutive context switches
* that the FPU is used. If this is over a threshold, the lazy fpu
* saving becomes unlazy to save the trap. This is an unsigned char
* so that after 256 times the counter wraps and the behavior turns
* lazy again; this to deal with bursty apps that only use FPU for
* a short time
*/
- We could create a paca bit to mirror the VMX enabled MSR bit and check
that first, avoiding multiple calls to calling enable_kernel_altivec.
That should help with iovec based system calls like readv.
- We could have two VMX breakpoints, one for when we know the user VMX
state is loaded into the registers and one when it isn't. This could
be a second bit in the paca so we can calculate the break points quickly.
- One suggestion from Ben was to save and restore the VSX registers
we use inline instead of using enable_kernel_altivec.
