powerpc: New macros for transactional memory support

2013-02-15T05:58:50+00:00

This adds new macros for saving and restoring checkpointed architected state
from and to the thread_struct.

It also adds some debugging macros for when your brain explodes trying to debug
your transactional memory enabled kernel.

powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Preserve guest CFAR register value

2013-02-15T05:54:33+00:00

The CFAR (Come-From Address Register) is a useful debugging aid that
exists on POWER7 processors.  Currently HV KVM doesn't save or restore
the CFAR register for guest vcpus, making the CFAR of limited use in
guests.

This adds the necessary code to capture the CFAR value saved in the
early exception entry code (it has to be saved before any branch is
executed), save it in the vcpu.arch struct, and restore it on entry
to the guest.

powerpc: Add support for context switching the TAR register

2013-02-08T03:05:50+00:00

This patch adds support for enabling and context switching the Target
Address Register in Power8. The TAR is a new special purpose register
that can be used for computed branches with the bctar[l] (branch
conditional to TAR) instruction in the same manner as the count and link
registers.

powerpc: Define ppr in thread_struct

2013-01-10T06:01:08+00:00

[PATCH 4/6] powerpc: Define ppr in thread_struct

ppr in thread_struct is used to save PPR and restore it before process exits
from kernel.

This patch sets the default priority to 3 when tasks are created such
that users can use 4 for higher priority tasks.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Improve handling of local vs. global TLB invalidations

2012-12-06T00:34:05+00:00

When we change or remove a HPT (hashed page table) entry, we can do
either a global TLB invalidation (tlbie) that works across the whole
machine, or a local invalidation (tlbiel) that only affects this core.
Currently we do local invalidations if the VM has only one vcpu or if
the guest requests it with the H_LOCAL flag, though the guest Linux
kernel currently doesn't ever use H_LOCAL.  Then, to cope with the
possibility that vcpus moving around to different physical cores might
expose stale TLB entries, there is some code in kvmppc_hv_entry to
flush the whole TLB of entries for this VM if either this vcpu is now
running on a different physical core from where it last ran, or if this
physical core last ran a different vcpu.

There are a number of problems on POWER7 with this as it stands:

- The TLB invalidation is done per thread, whereas it only needs to be
  done per core, since the TLB is shared between the threads.
- With the possibility of the host paging out guest pages, the use of
  H_LOCAL by an SMP guest is dangerous since the guest could possibly
  retain and use a stale TLB entry pointing to a page that had been
  removed from the guest.
- The TLB invalidations that we do when a vcpu moves from one physical
  core to another are unnecessary in the case of an SMP guest that isn't
  using H_LOCAL.
- The optimization of using local invalidations rather than global should
  apply to guests with one virtual core, not just one vcpu.

(None of this applies on PPC970, since there we always have to
invalidate the whole TLB when entering and leaving the guest, and we
can't support paging out guest memory.)

To fix these problems and simplify the code, we now maintain a simple
cpumask of which cpus need to flush the TLB on entry to the guest.
(This is indexed by cpu, though we only ever use the bits for thread
0 of each core.)  Whenever we do a local TLB invalidation, we set the
bits for every cpu except the bit for thread 0 of the core that we're
currently running on.  Whenever we enter a guest, we test and clear the
bit for our core, and flush the TLB if it was set.

On initial startup of the VM, and when resetting the HPT, we set all the
bits in the need_tlb_flush cpumask, since any core could potentially have
stale TLB entries from the previous VM to use the same LPID, or the
previous contents of the HPT.

Then, we maintain a count of the number of online virtual cores, and use
that when deciding whether to use a local invalidation rather than the
number of online vcpus.  The code to make that decision is extracted out
into a new function, global_invalidates().  For multi-core guests on
POWER7 (i.e. when we are using mmu notifiers), we now never do local
invalidations regardless of the H_LOCAL flag.
