* powerpc: Define set_thread_uses_vas()Sukadev Bhattiprolu2017-11-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A CP_ABORT instruction is required in processes that have mapped a VAS "paste address" with the intention of using COPY/PASTE instructions. But since CP_ABORT is expensive, we want to restrict it to only processes that use/intend to use COPY/PASTE. Define an interface, set_thread_uses_vas(), that VAS can use to indicate that the current process opened a send window. During context switch, issue CP_ABORT only for processes that have the flag set. Thanks for input from Nick Piggin, Michael Ellerman.

* powerpc/64e: Don't place the stack beyond TASK_SIZEScott Wood2017-05-051-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f4ea6dcb08ea ("powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB") increased the task size on book3s, and introduced a mechanism to dynamically control whether a task uses these larger addresses. While the change to the task size itself was ifdef-protected to only apply on book3s, the change to STACK_TOP_USER64 was not. On book3e, this had the effect of trying to use addresses up to 128TiB for the stack despite a 64TiB task size limit -- which broke 64-bit userspace producing the following errors: Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14) Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -14) Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.

* powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TBAneesh Kumar K.V2017-04-011-6/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB addresses and leads to crashes. To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space above 128TB by default. But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB. If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than from 128TB window. This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual address space. This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with larger addresses and other that do not. A sample memory layout looks like: 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB 10029630000-10029660000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7fff834a0000-7fff834b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff834b0000-7fff83670000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83670000-7fff83680000 r--p 001b0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83680000-7fff83690000 rw-p 001c0000 fc:00 9177190 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libc-2.23.so 7fff83690000-7fff836a0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fff836a0000-7fff836c0000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fff836c0000-7fff83700000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83700000-7fff83710000 r--p 00030000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fff83710000-7fff83720000 rw-p 00040000 fc:00 9177193 /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/ld-2.23.so 7fffdccf0000-7fffdcd20000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 1000000000000-1000000010000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 1ffff83710000-1ffff83720000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We update the hash linux page table layout such that we can support 512TB. But we limit the TASK_SIZE to 128TB. We can switch to 128TB by default without conditional because that is the max virtual address supported by other architectures. We will later add a mechanism to on-demand increase the application's effective address range to 512TB.

* | powernv: Pass PSSCR value and mask to power9_idle_stopGautham R. Shenoy2017-01-311-1/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The power9_idle_stop method currently takes only the requested stop level as a parameter and picks up the rest of the PSSCR bits from a hand-coded macro. This is not a very flexible design, especially when the firmware has the capability to communicate the psscr value and the mask associated with a particular stop state via device tree. This patch modifies the power9_idle_stop API to take as parameters the PSSCR value and the PSSCR mask corresponding to the stop state that needs to be set. These PSSCR value and mask are respectively obtained by parsing the "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr" and "ibm,cpu-idle-state-psscr-mask" fields from the device tree. In addition to this, the patch adds support for handling stop states for which ESL and EC bits in the PSSCR are zero. As per the architecture, a wakeup from these stop states resumes execution from the subsequent instruction as opposed to waking up at the System Vector. The older firmware sets only the Requested Level (RL) field in the psscr and psscr-mask exposed in the device tree. For older firmware where psscr-mask=0xf, this patch will set the default sane values that the set for for remaining PSSCR fields (i.e PSLL, MTL, ESL, EC, and TR). For the new firmware, the patch will validate that the invariants required by the ISA for the psscr values are maintained by the firmware. This skiboot patch that exports fully populated PSSCR values and the mask for all the stop states can be found here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/skiboot/2016-September/004869.html [Optimize the number of instructions before entering STOP with ESL=EC=0, validate the PSSCR values provided by the firimware maintains the invariants required as per the ISA suggested by Balbir Singh] Acked-by: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

* | locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()Christian Borntraeger2016-11-161-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax(). For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency. For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment. On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the hypervisor to give up the timeslice. In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies. In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield that can be called in places where yielding is more important than latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the MSR TM bit is always set if the hardware is TM capable. This adds extra overhead as it means the TM SPRS (TFHAR, TEXASR and TFAIR) must be swapped for each process regardless of if they use TM. For processes that don't use TM the TM MSR bit can be turned off allowing the kernel to avoid the expensive swap of the TM registers. A TM unavailable exception will occur if a thread does use TM and the kernel will enable MSR_TM and leave it so for some time afterwards.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory (TM). Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated (almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is frozen at a point in time. On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later) restored. These two states are often called a variety of different things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are 'transactional' or 'speculative'. Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the transactional state can be referred to as the live state. The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back to on transaction failure. Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a transactional state). This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably before TM) to save the live state. With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for checkpointed state.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POWER ISA v3 defines a new idle processor core mechanism. In summary, a) new instruction named stop is added. This instruction replaces instructions like nap, sleep, rvwinkle. b) new per thread SPR named Processor Stop Status and Control Register (PSSCR) is added which controls the behavior of stop instruction. PSSCR layout: ---------------------------------------------------------- | PLS | /// | SD | ESL | EC | PSLL | /// | TR | MTL | RL | ---------------------------------------------------------- 0 4 41 42 43 44 48 54 56 60 PSSCR key fields: Bits 0:3 - Power-Saving Level Status. This field indicates the lowest power-saving state the thread entered since stop instruction was last executed. Bit 42 - Enable State Loss 0 - No state is lost irrespective of other fields 1 - Allows state loss Bits 44:47 - Power-Saving Level Limit This limits the power-saving level that can be entered into. Bits 60:63 - Requested Level Used to specify which power-saving level must be entered on executing stop instruction This patch adds support for stop instruction and PSSCR handling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables new registers, LMRR and LMSER, that can trigger an EBB in userspace code when a monitored load (via the new ldmx instruction) loads memory from a monitored space. This facility is controlled by a new FSCR bit, LM. This patch disables the FSCR LM control bit on task init and enables that bit when a load monitor facility unavailable exception is taken for using it. On context switch, this bit is then used to determine whether the two relevant registers are saved and restored. This is done lazily for performance reasons.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a few issues with FSCR init and switching. In commit 152d523e6307 ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") we moved the setting of the FSCR register from inside an CPU_FTR_ARCH_207S section to inside just a CPU_FTR_ARCH_DSCR section. Hence we are setting FSCR on POWER6/7 where the FSCR doesn't exist. This is harmless but we shouldn't do it. Also, we can simplify the FSCR context switch. We don't need to go through the calculation involving dscr_inherit. We can just restore what we saved last time. We also set an initial value in INIT_THREAD, so that pid 1 which is cloned from that gets a sane value. Based on patch by Jack Miller.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not a problem unless a process is using these facilities. Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code, new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy. All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three. The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty. An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back to zero. Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested: 1. Always calling C. 2. Performing a common case check and then calling C. 3. A complex check in asm. After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option 3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3 is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to sleep. But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and restored upon wake up. Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to save and restore rest of the necessary registers. With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories- per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this, extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can distingush first thread in core and subcore. Signed-off-by: Shreyas B.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core enters these states only when all the threads enter either the particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these state. The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is involved. This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of threads in a per-core structure.

* powerpc/powernv: Return to cpu offline loop when finished in KVM guestPaul Mackerras2014-12-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to put the thread into. In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable(). In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that case. Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context. In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for hwthread_req to become zero. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
* arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso2014-07-171-0/+2

It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smt-snooze-delay was designed to disable NAP state or delay the entry to the NAP state prior to adoption of cpuidle framework. This is per-cpu variable. With the coming of CPUIDLE framework, states can be disabled on per-cpu basis using the cpuidle/enable sysfs entry. Also, with the coming of cpuidle driver each state's target residency is per-driver unlike earlier which was per-device. Therefore, the per-cpu sysfs smt-snooze-delay which decides the target residency of the idle state on a particular cpu causes more confusion to the user as we cannot have different smt-snooze-delay (target residency) values for each cpu. In the current code, smt-snooze-delay functionality is completely broken. It makes sense to remove smt-snooze-delay from idle driver with the coming of cpuidle framework. However, sysfs files are retained as ppc64_util currently utilises it. Once we fix ppc64_util, propose to clean up the kernel code.

However, these exception bits are the "sticky", cumulative exception bits, and should only be cleared by the user program setting SPEFSCR, not implicitly by any floating-point instruction (whether executed purely by the hardware or emulated). The spurious clearing of these bits shows up as missing exceptions in glibc testing. Fixing this, however, is not as simple as just not clearing the bits, because while the bits may be from previous floating-point operations (in which case they should not be cleared), the processor can also set the sticky bits itself before the interrupt for an exception occurs, and this can happen in cases when IEEE 754 semantics are that the sticky bit should not be set. Specifically, the "invalid" sticky bit is set in various cases with non-finite operands, where IEEE 754 semantics do not involve raising such an exception, and the "underflow" sticky bit is set in cases of exact underflow, whereas IEEE 754 semantics are that this flag is set only for inexact underflow. Thus, for correct emulation the kernel needs to know the setting of these two sticky bits before the instruction being emulated. When a floating-point operation raises an exception, the kernel can note the state of the sticky bits immediately afterwards. Some <fenv.h> functions that affect the state of these bits, such as fesetenv and feholdexcept, need to use prctl with PR_GET_FPEXC and PR_SET_FPEXC anyway, and so it is natural to record the state of those bits during that call into the kernel and so avoid any need for a separate call into the kernel to inform it of a change to those bits. Thus, the interface I chose to use (in this patch and the glibc port) is that one of those prctl calls must be made after any userspace change to those sticky bits, other than through a floating-point operation that traps into the kernel anyway. feclearexcept and fesetexceptflag duly make those calls, which would not be required were it not for this issue. The previous EGLIBC port, and the uClibc code copied from it, is fundamentally broken as regards any use of prctl for floating-point exceptions because it didn't use the PR_FP_EXC_SW_ENABLE bit in its prctl calls (and did various worse things, such as passing a pointer when prctl expected an integer). If you avoid anything where prctl is used, the clearing of sticky bits still means it will never give anything approximating correct exception semantics with existing kernels. I don't believe the patch makes things any worse for existing code that doesn't try to inform the kernel of changes to sticky bits - such code may get incorrect exceptions in some cases, but it would have done so anyway in other cases.

* | powerpc: Don't corrupt transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernelPaul Mackerras2014-01-151-0/+2

This happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the copy on POWER8. The test program below demonstrates the bug. The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in .fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in .transact_fp/.transact_vr. However, when the kernel wants to use FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(), which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state. Furthermore, when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX disabled. The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state, or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not, whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed. Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled for the user process with the current transactional state in the FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction. Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the process is no longer transactional. In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM. This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored. The restoration is done by restore_tm_state(). The TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers, which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec. The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional. Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid (having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state). Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit. This is the test program: /* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013 * * See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to * kernel vmx copy loops. * * gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy * */ /* We don't use all of these, but for reference: */ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { long double vecin = 1.3; long double vecout; unsigned long pgsize = getpagesize(); int i; int fd; int size = pgsize*16; char tmpfile[] = "/tmp/page_faultXXXXXX"; char buf[pgsize]; char *a; uint64_t aborted = 0; fd = mkstemp(tmpfile); assert(fd >= 0); memset(buf, 0, pgsize); for (i = 0; i < size; i += pgsize) assert(write(fd, buf, pgsize) == pgsize); unlink(tmpfile); a = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0); assert(a != MAP_FAILED); asm __volatile__( "lxvd2x 40,0,%[vecinptr] ; " // set 40 to initial value TBEGIN "beq 3f ;" TSUSPEND "xxlxor 40,40,40 ; " // set 40 to 0 "std 5, 0(%[map]) ;" // cause kernel vmx copy page TABORT TRESUME TEND "li %[res], 0 ;" "b 5f ;" "3: ;" // Abort handler "li %[res], 1 ;" "5: ;" "stxvd2x 40,0,%[vecoutptr] ; " : [res]"=r"(aborted) : [vecinptr]"r"(&vecin), [vecoutptr]"r"(&vecout), [map]"r"(a) : "memory", "r0", "r3", "r4", "r5", "r6", "r7"); if (aborted && (vecin != vecout)){ printf("FAILED: vector state leaked on abort %f != %f\n", (double)vecin, (double)vecout); exit(1); } munmap(a, size); close(fd); printf("PASSED!\n"); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There was a lot of work on the PPC side: the HV and emulation flavors can now coexist in a single kernel is probably the most interesting change from a user point of view. On the x86 side there are nested virtualization improvements and a few bugfixes. ARM got transparent huge page support, improved overcommit, and support for big endian guests. Finally, there is a new interface to connect KVM with VFIO. This helps with devices that use NoSnoop PCI transactions, letting the driver in the guest execute WBINVD instructions. This includes some nVidia cards on Windows, that fail to start without these patches and the corresponding userspace changes" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (146 commits) kvm, vmx: Fix lazy FPU on nested guest arm/arm64: KVM: PSCI: propagate caller endianness to the incoming vcpu arm/arm64: KVM: MMIO support for BE guest kvm, cpuid: Fix sparse warning kvm: Delete prototype for non-existent function kvm_check_iopl kvm: Delete prototype for non-existent function complete_pio hung_task: add method to reset detector pvclock: detect watchdog reset at pvclock read kvm: optimize out smp_mb after srcu_read_unlock srcu: API for barrier after srcu read unlock KVM: remove vm mmap method KVM: IOMMU: hva align mapping page size KVM: x86: trace cpuid emulation when called from emulator KVM: emulator: cleanup decode_register_operand() a bit KVM: emulator: check rex prefix inside decode_register() KVM: x86: fix emulation of "movzbl %bpl, %eax" kvm_host: typo fix KVM: x86: emulate SAHF instruction MAINTAINERS: add tree for kvm.git Documentation/kvm: add a 00-INDEX file ...

| * | | powerpc: Provide for giveup_fpu/altivec to save state in alternate locationPaul Mackerras2013-10-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a facility which is intended for use by KVM, where the contents of the FP/VSX and VMX (Altivec) registers can be saved away to somewhere other than the thread_struct when kernel code wants to use floating point or VMX instructions. This is done by providing a pointer in the thread_struct to indicate where the state should be saved to. The giveup_fpu() and giveup_altivec() functions test these pointers and save state to the indicated location if they are non-NULL. Note that the MSR_FP/VEC bits in task->thread.regs->msr are still used to indicate whether the CPU register state is live, even when an alternate save location is being used. This also provides load_fp_state() and load_vr_state() functions, which load up FP/VSX and VMX state from memory into the CPU registers, and corresponding store_fp_state() and store_vr_state() functions, which store FP/VSX and VMX state into memory from the CPU registers.
