2016-03-02powerpc: Add the ability to save VSX without giving it upCyril Bur1-4/+0
This patch adds the ability to be able to save the VSX registers to the thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the process returns to userspace. This patch builds on a previous optimisation for the FPU and VEC registers in the thread copy path to avoid a possibly pointless reload of VSX state.

2016-03-02powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without giving it upCyril Bur1-1/+2
This patch adds the ability to be able to save the FPU registers to the thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the process returns to userspace. This patch optimises the thread copy path (as a result of a fork() or clone()) so that the parent thread can return to userspace with hot registers avoiding a possibly pointless reload of FPU register state.

2016-03-02powerpc: Prepare for splitting giveup_{fpu, altivec, vsx} in twoCyril Bur1-0/+7
This prepares for the decoupling of saving {fpu,altivec,vsx} registers and marking {fpu,altivec,vsx} as being unused by a thread. Currently giveup_{fpu,altivec,vsx}() does both however optimisations to task switching can be made if these two operations are decoupled. save_all() will permit the saving of registers to thread structs and leave threads MSR with bits enabled. This patch introduces no functional change. Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Create a single function that gives everything up (FP, VMX, VSX, SPE). Doing this all at once means we only do one MSR write. A context switch microbenchmark using yield(): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield --fp --altivec --vector 0 0 shows an improvement of 3% on POWER8.

2015-12-01powerpc: Add ppc_strict_facility_enable boot optionAnton Blanchard1-5/+19
Add a boot option that strictly manages the MSR unavailable bits. This catches kernel uses of FP/Altivec/SPE that would otherwise corrupt user state. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2015-12-01powerpc: Create disable_kernel_{fp,altivec,vsx,spe}()Anton Blanchard1-0/+5
The enable_kernel_*() functions leave the relevant MSR bits enabled until we exit the kernel sometime later. Create disable versions that wrap the kernel use of FP, Altivec VSX or SPE. While we don't want to disable it normally for performance reasons (MSR writes are slow), it will be used for a debug boot option that does this and catches bad uses in other areas of the kernel.

2015-12-01powerpc: Remove NULL task struct pointer checks in FP and vector codeAnton Blanchard1-1/+0
We used to allow giveup_*() to be called with a NULL task struct pointer. Now those cases are handled in the caller we can remove the checks. We can also remove giveup_altivec_notask() which is also unused. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2015-12-01powerpc: Remove UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisationsAnton Blanchard1-8/+0
The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector instructions and gcc autovectorises. We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.

2015-12-01powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs() and restore_sprs()Anton Blanchard1-11/+0
Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two helpers. We do a few optimisations: - Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can do. - SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before writing it. A context switch microbenchmark using yield(): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch2.c ./context_switch2 --test=yield 0 0 shows an improvement of almost 10% on POWER8.

2014-06-11powerpc/perf: Ensure all EBB register state is cleared on fork()Michael Ellerman1-0/+2
In commit 330a1eb "Core EBB support for 64-bit book3s" I messed up clear_task_ebb(). It clears some but not all of the task's Event Based Branch (EBB) registers when we duplicate a task struct. That allows a child task to observe the EBBHR & EBBRR of its parent, which it should not be able to do. Fix it by clearing EBBHR & EBBRR.

2014-06-11powerpc: Correct DSCR during TM context switchSam bobroff1-2/+4
Correct the DSCR SPR becoming temporarily corrupted if a task is context switched during a transaction. The problem occurs while suspending the task and is caused by saving the DSCR to thread.dscr after it has already been set to the CPU's default value: __switch_to() calls __switch_to_tm() which calls tm_reclaim_task() which calls tm_reclaim_thread() which calls tm_reclaim() where the DSCR is set to the CPU's default __switch_to() calls _switch() where thread.dscr is set to the DSCR When the task is resumed, it's transaction will be doomed (as usual) and the DSCR SPR will be corrupted, although the checkpointed value will be correct. Therefore the DSCR will be immediately corrected by the transaction aborting, unless it has been suspended. In that case the incorrect value can be seen by the task until it resumes the transaction. The fix is to treat the DSCR similarly to the TAR and save it early in __switch_to(). A program exposing the problem is added to the kernel self tests as: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/tm/tm-resched-dscr.

2014-01-09KVM: PPC: Use load_fp/vr_state rather than load_up_fpu/altivecPaul Mackerras1-2/+0
The load_up_fpu and load_up_altivec functions were never intended to be called from C, and do things like modifying the MSR value in their callers' stack frames, which are assumed to be interrupt frames. In addition, on 32-bit Book S they require the MMU to be off. This makes KVM use the new load_fp_state() and load_vr_state() functions instead of load_up_fpu/altivec. This means we can remove the assembler glue in book3s_rmhandlers.S, and potentially fixes a bug on Book E, where load_up_fpu was called directly from C.

2013-12-11powerpc/kvm/booke: Fix build break due to stack frame size warningScott Wood1-1/+1
Commit ce11e48b7fdd256ec68b932a89b397a790566031 ("KVM: PPC: E500: Add userspace debug stub support") added "struct thread_struct" to the stack of kvmppc_vcpu_run(). thread_struct is 1152 bytes on my build, compared to 48 bytes for the recently-introduced "struct debug_reg". Use the latter instead.

2013-08-14powerpc: Make flush_fp_to_thread() nop when CONFIG_PPC_FPU is disabledKevin Hao1-1/+6
In the current kernel, the function flush_fp_to_thread() is not dependent on CONFIG_PPC_FPU. So most invocations of this function is not wrapped by CONFIG_PPC_FPU. Even through we don't really save the FPRs to the thread struct if CONFIG_PPC_FPU is not enabled, but there does have some runtime overhead such as the check for tsk->thread.regs and preempt disable and enable. It really make no sense to do that. So make it a nop when CONFIG_PPC_FPU is disabled. Also remove the wrapped #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_FPU when invoking this function.

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in __switch_to. It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this. We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path. We are going to do this in a subsequent patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a transaction.

2013-07-01powerpc/perf: Core EBB support for 64-bit book3sMichael Ellerman1-0/+14
Add support for EBB (Event Based Branches) on 64-bit book3s. See the included documentation for more details. EBBs are a feature which allows the hardware to branch directly to a specified user space address when a PMU event overflows. This can be used by programs for self-monitoring with no kernel involvement in the inner loop. Most of the logic is in the generic book3s code, primarily to avoid a proliferation of PMU callbacks.

2012-04-30powerpc: Optimise enable_kernel_altivecAnton Blanchard1-0/+1
Add two optimisations to enable_kernel_altivec: - enable_kernel_altivec has already determined if we need to save the previous task's state but we call giveup_altivec in both cases, requiring an extra branch in giveup_altivec. Create giveup_altivec_notask which only turns on the VMX bit in the MSR. - We write the VMX MSR bit each time we call enable_kernel_altivec even it was already set. Check the bit and branch out if we have already set it. The classic case for this is vectored IO where we have to copy multiple buffers to or from userspace. The following testcase was used to confirm this patch improves performance: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/copy_to_user.c Since the current breakpoint for using VMX in copy_tofrom_user is 4096 bytes, I'm using buffers of 4096 + 1 cacheline (4224) bytes. A benchmark of 16 entry readvs (-s 16): time copy_to_user -l 4224 -s 16 -i 1000000 completes 5.2% faster on a POWER7 PS700.
