2015-04-10powerpc: Replace mem_init_done with slab_is_available()Michael Ellerman
We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on boot once kmalloc can be called". But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately after that, and nothing is running in parallel. So replace it with the generic and 100% correct slab_is_available(). Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

2015-01-23powerpc: Add 64bit optimised memcmpAnton Blanchard
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.

2014-11-19powerpc: Remove more traces of bootmemMichael Ellerman
Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem. Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as: p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x); Becomes: p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0); We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *. The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment, which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses. We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the NULL checks are and always have been redundant. The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc(). Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS) to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base() because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.

2014-09-25powerpc: Split out instruction analysis part of emulate_step()Paul Mackerras
This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction, but doesn't execute any load or store instructions. It does execute integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by updating register values in the pt_regs struct. For other instructions, it returns the instruction type and other details in a new instruction_op struct. emulate_step() then uses that information to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and (on 64-bit) sc instructions. The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead of having its own separate instruction emulation code. Possibly the alignment interrupt handler could also use this.

Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with spin_unlock_wait(). We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock. It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it ACQUIRE semantics.

2014-07-22powerpc: use _GLOBAL_TOC for memmoveLi Zhong

2014-04-30powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LEPhilippe Bergheaud
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.

Some of the assembler files in lib/ make use of the fact that in the ELFv1 ABI, the caller guarantees to provide stack space to save the parameter registers r3 ... r10. This guarantee is no longer present in ELFv2 for functions that have no variable argument list and no more than 8 arguments. Change the affected routines to temporarily store registers in the red zone and/or the top of their own stack frame (in the space provided to save r31 .. r29, which is actually not used in these routines). In opal_query_takeover, simply always allocate a stack frame; the routine is not performance critical.

2013-10-30powerpc: Add VMX optimised xor for RAID5Anton Blanchard
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.

2013-10-30powerpc: Fix Unaligned LE Floating Point Loads and StoresTom Musta
This patch addresses unaligned single precision floating point loads and stores in the single-step code. The old implementation improperly treated an 8 byte structure as an array of two 4 byte words, which is a classic little endian bug.

2013-10-30powerpc: Fix Unaligned Loads and StoresTom Musta
This patch modifies the unaligned access routines of the sstep.c module so that it properly reverses the bytes of storage operands in the little endian kernel kernel. This is implemented by breaking an unaligned little endian access into a combination of single byte accesses plus an overal byte reversal operation.

We need to fix some endian issues in our memcpy code. For now just enable the generic memcpy routine for little endian builds. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2013-10-03powerpc: Restore registers on error exit from csum_partial_copy_generic()Paul E. McKenney
The csum_partial_copy_generic() function saves the PowerPC non-volatile r14, r15, and r16 registers for the main checksum-and-copy loop. Unfortunately, it fails to restore them upon error exit from this loop, which results in silent corruption of these registers in the presumably rare event of an access exception within that loop. This commit therefore restores these register on error exit from the loop. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2013-10-03powerpc: Fix parameter clobber in csum_partial_copy_generic()Paul E. McKenney
The csum_partial_copy_generic() uses register r7 to adjust the remaining bytes to process. Unfortunately, r7 also holds a parameter, namely the address of the flag to set in case of access exceptions while reading the source buffer. Lacking a quantum implementation of PowerPC, this commit instead uses register r9 to do the adjusting, leaving r7's pointer uncorrupted. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
