powerpc: Emulate non privileged DSCR read and write

2013-05-11T20:48:05+00:00

commit 73d2fb758e678c93bc76d40876c2359f0729b0ef upstream.

POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added
kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions
regardless of the CPU type.

Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added
emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non
privileged one.

A simple test was created to verify the fix:

Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch.

KVM: PPC: Implement MMIO emulation support for Book3S HV guests

2012-03-05T12:52:37+00:00

This provides the low-level support for MMIO emulation in Book3S HV
guests.  When the guest tries to map a page which is not covered by
any memslot, that page is taken to be an MMIO emulation page.  Instead
of inserting a valid HPTE, we insert an HPTE that has the valid bit
clear but another hypervisor software-use bit set, which we call
HPTE_V_ABSENT, to indicate that this is an absent page.  An
absent page is treated much like a valid page as far as guest hcalls
(H_ENTER, H_REMOVE, H_READ etc.) are concerned, except of course that
an absent HPTE doesn't need to be invalidated with tlbie since it
was never valid as far as the hardware is concerned.

When the guest accesses a page for which there is an absent HPTE, it
will take a hypervisor data storage interrupt (HDSI) since we now set
the VPM1 bit in the LPCR.  Our HDSI handler for HPTE-not-present faults
looks up the hash table and if it finds an absent HPTE mapping the
requested virtual address, will switch to kernel mode and handle the
fault in kvmppc_book3s_hv_page_fault(), which at present just calls
kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio() to set up the MMIO emulation.

This is based on an earlier patch by Benjamin Herrenschmidt, but since
heavily reworked.

net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64

2011-07-21T19:38:32+00:00

An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.

Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr).  The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers.  Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.

There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.

This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).

Enabled in the same way as x86-64:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Or, enabled with extra debug output:

	echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4)

2011-04-27T04:18:19+00:00

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.

This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating
the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such
threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that
can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default.

If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry,
all children threads inherit this non default value even if
the sysfs value is changed later.

Wakeup comes from the system reset handler with a potential loss of

powerpc: Emulate most Book I instructions in emulate_step()

2010-06-22T09:40:29+00:00

This extends the emulate_step() function to handle a large proportion
of the Book I instructions implemented on current 64-bit server
processors.  The aim is to handle all the load and store instructions
used in the kernel, plus all of the instructions that appear between
l[wd]arx and st[wd]cx., so this handles the Altivec/VMX lvx and stvx
and the VSX lxv2dx and stxv2dx instructions (implemented in POWER7).

The new code can emulate user mode instructions, and checks the
effective address for a load or store if the saved state is for
user mode.  It doesn't handle little-endian mode at present.

For floating-point, Altivec/VMX and VSX instructions, it checks
that the saved MSR has the enable bit for the relevant facility
set, and if so, assumes that the FP/VMX/VSX registers contain
valid state, and does loads or stores directly to/from the
FP/VMX/VSX registers, using assembly helpers in ldstfp.S.

Instructions supported now include:
* Loads and stores, including some but not all VMX and VSX instructions,
  and lmw/stmw
* Atomic loads and stores (l[dw]arx, st[dw]cx.)
* Arithmetic instructions (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc.)
* Compare instructions
* Rotate and mask instructions
* Shift instructions
* Logical instructions (and, or, xor, etc.)
* Condition register logical instructions
* mtcrf, cntlz[wd], exts[bhw]
* isync, sync, lwsync, ptesync, eieio
* Cache operations (dcbf, dcbst, dcbt, dcbtst)

The overflow-checking arithmetic instructions are not included, but
they appear not to be ever used in C code.

This uses decimal values for the minor opcodes in the switch statements
because that is what appears in the Power ISA specification, thus it is
easier to check that they are correct if they are in decimal.

If this is used to single-step an instruction where a data breakpoint
interrupt occurred, then there is the possibility that the instruction
is a lwarx or ldarx.  In that case we have to be careful not to lose the
reservation until we get to the matching st[wd]cx., or we'll never make
forward progress.  One alternative is to try to arrange that we can
return from interrupts and handle data breakpoint interrupts without
losing the reservation, which means not using any spinlocks, mutexes,
or atomic ops (including bitops).  That seems rather fragile.  The
other alternative is to emulate the larx/stcx and all the instructions
in between.  This is why this commit adds support for a wide range
of integer instructions.

powerpc/85xx: Make sure lwarx hint isn't set on ppc32

2010-03-17T04:24:06+00:00

e500v1/v2 based chips will treat any reserved field being set in an
opcode as illegal.  Thus always setting the hint in the opcode is
a bad idea.

Anton should be kept away from the powerpc opcode map.
