powerpc: Add "memory" attribute for mfmsr()

2012-08-02T13:37:46+00:00

commit b416c9a10baae6a177b4f9ee858b8d309542fbef upstream.

Add "memory" attribute in inline assembly language as a compiler
barrier to make sure 4.6.x GCC don't reorder mfmsr().

powerpc: Fix wrong divisor in usecs_to_cputime

2012-07-25T03:11:38+00:00

commit 9f5072d4f63f28d30d343573830ac6c85fc0deff upstream.

Commit d57af9b (taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times)
renamed msecs_to_cputime to usecs_to_cputime, but failed to update all
numbers on the way.  This causes nonsensical cpu idle/iowait values to be
displayed in /proc/stat (the only user of usecs_to_cputime so far).

This also renames __cputime_msec_factor to __cputime_usec_factor, adapting
its value and using it directly in cputime_to_usecs instead of doing two
multiplications.

powerpc/time: Handle wrapping of decrementer

2012-01-12T19:29:22+00:00

commit 37fb9a0231ee43d42d069863bdfd567fca2b61af upstream.

When re-enabling interrupts we have code to handle edge sensitive
decrementers by resetting the decrementer to 1 whenever it is negative.
If interrupts were disabled long enough that the decrementer wrapped to
positive we do nothing. This means interrupts can be delayed for a long
time until it finally goes negative again.

While we hope interrupts are never be disabled long enough for the
decrementer to go positive, we have a very good test team that can
drive any kernel into the ground. The softlockup data we get back
from these fails could be seconds in the future, completely missing
the cause of the lockup.

We already keep track of the timebase of the next event so use that
to work out if we should trigger a decrementer exception.

procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t

2011-12-30T00:31:57+00:00

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time
for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies
and cputime use different units.

This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.

Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semantics

2011-11-17T05:26:07+00:00

The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic
operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before
and after the actual atomic operation.

Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically,
while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has
completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the
result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores
for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still
hold the old value).

This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7

This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead
of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers,
which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync.

I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather
what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to
find a more precise benchmark)

powerpc/book3e-64: Fix debug support for userspace

2011-11-17T05:26:07+00:00

With the introduction of CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS user space debug is
broken on Book-E 64-bit parts that support delayed debug events.  When
switch_booke_debug_regs() sets DBCR0 we'll start getting debug events as
MSR_DE is also set and we aren't able to handle debug events from kernel
space.

We can remove the hack that always enables MSR_DE and loads up DBCR0 and
just utilize switch_booke_debug_regs() to get user space debug working
again.

We still need to handle critical/debug exception stacks & proper
save/restore of state for those exception levles to support debug events
from kernel space like we have on 32-bit.

powerpc: Copy down exception vectors after feature fixups

2011-11-16T03:47:54+00:00

kdump fails because we try to execute an HV only instruction. Feature
fixups are being applied after we copy the exception vectors down to 0
so they miss out on any updates.

We have always had this issue but it only became critical in v3.0
when we added CFAR support (breaks POWER5) and v3.1 when we added
POWERNV (breaks everyone).
