From 9c1e105238c474d19905af504f2e7f42d4f71f9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:17:54 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Allow perf_counters to access user memory at interrupt time This provides a mechanism to allow the perf_counters code to access user memory in a PMU interrupt routine. Such an access can cause various kinds of interrupt: SLB miss, MMU hash table miss, segment table miss, or TLB miss, depending on the processor. This commit only deals with 64-bit classic/server processors, which use an MMU hash table. 32-bit processors are already able to access user memory at interrupt time. Since we don't soft-disable on 32-bit, we avoid the possibility of reentering hash_page or the TLB miss handlers, since they run with interrupts disabled. On 64-bit processors, an SLB miss interrupt on a user address will update the slb_cache and slb_cache_ptr fields in the paca. This is OK except in the case where a PMU interrupt occurs in switch_slb, which also accesses those fields. To prevent this, we hard-disable interrupts in switch_slb. Interrupts are already soft-disabled at this point, and will get hard-enabled when they get soft-enabled later. This also reworks slb_flush_and_rebolt: to avoid hard-disabling twice, and to make sure that it clears the slb_cache_ptr when called from other callers than switch_slb, the existing routine is renamed to __slb_flush_and_rebolt, which is called by switch_slb and the new version of slb_flush_and_rebolt. Similarly, switch_stab (used on POWER3 and RS64 processors) gets a hard_irq_disable() to protect the per-cpu variables used there and in ste_allocate. If a MMU hashtable miss interrupt occurs, normally we would call hash_page to look up the Linux PTE for the address and create a HPTE. However, hash_page is fairly complex and takes some locks, so to avoid the possibility of deadlock, we check the preemption count to see if we are in a (pseudo-)NMI handler, and if so, we don't call hash_page but instead treat it like a bad access that will get reported up through the exception table mechanism. An interrupt whose handler runs even though the interrupt occurred when soft-disabled (such as the PMU interrupt) is considered a pseudo-NMI handler, which should use nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() rather than irq_enter()/irq_exit().
