- Special consideration for IA64: Add the ability to specify
arch specific per cpu flags
- remove .data.percpu attribute from DEFINE_PER_CPU for non-smp case.
The arch definitions are all the same. So move them into linux/percpu.h.
We cannot move DECLARE_PER_CPU since some include files just include
asm/percpu.h to avoid include recursion problems.

Commit 473980a993 added a call to clear
the SLB shadow buffer before registering it. Unfortunately this means
that we clear out the entries that slb_initialize has previously set in
there. On POWER6, the hypervisor uses the SLB shadow buffer when doing
partition switches, and that means that after the next partition switch,
each non-boot CPU has no SLB entries to map the kernel text and data,
which causes it to crash.
This fixes it by reverting most of 473980a9 and instead clearing the
3rd entry explicitly in slb_initialize. This fixes the problem that
473980a9 was trying to solve, but without breaking POWER6.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
Before we register the SLB shadow buffer, we need to invalidate the
entries in the buffer, otherwise we can end up stale entries from when
we previously offlined the CPU.
This does this invalidate as well as unregistering the buffer with
PHYP before we offline the cpu. Tested and fixes crashes seen on

This reverts commit a2b51812a4.
It turns out that this change caused some machines to fail to come
back up when being rebooted, and generated an error in the hypervisor
error log on some machines. The platform architecture (PAPR) is a
little unclear on exactly when the RTAS ibm,os-term function should be
called. Until that is clarified I'm reverting this commit.
Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
calling it from the panic notifier is too early. Instead,
call it from the machine_reset() call.
This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
another part that is invoked during machine_reset().
Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
because panic_timeout was always non-zero. Calling os-term
helps keep the hypervisor happy! We have to keep the hypervisor
happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

The context switch code in the kernel issues a dummy stwcx. to clear the
reservation, as recommended by the architecture. However, some processors
can have issues if this stwcx to address A occurs while the reservation
is already held to a different address B. To avoid this problem, the dummy
stwcx. needs to be paired with a dummy lwarx to the same address.
This adds the dummy lwarx, and creates a cpu feature bit to indicate
which cpus are affected. Tested on mpc8641_hpcn_defconfig in

The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the
transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on
64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors. At the
moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are
required before the next interrupt before putting it into the
decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could
possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if
the timebase/decrementer frequency is low.
This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for
server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract
1. Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different
processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :)
Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some
processors. To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls
set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of
the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1
to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and
ns).
This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to
0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt.

The 44x family has an interesting "feature" which is a virtually
tagged instruction cache (yuck !). So far, we haven't dealt with
it properly, which means we've been mostly lucky or people didn't
report the problems, unless people have been running custom patches
in their distro...
This is an attempt at fixing it properly. I chose to do it by
setting a global flag whenever we change a PTE that was previously
marked executable, and flush the entire instruction cache upon
return to user space when that happens.
This is a bit heavy handed, but it's hard to do more fine grained
flushes as the icbi instruction, on those processor, for some very
strange reasons (since the cache is virtually mapped) still requires
a valid TLB entry for reading in the target address space, which
isn't something I want to deal with.

On 4xx CPUs, the current implementation of flush_tlb_page() uses
a low level _tlbie() assembly function that only works for the
current PID. Thus, invalidations caused by, for example, a COW
fault triggered by get_user_pages() from a different context will
not work properly, causing among other things, gdb breakpoints
to fail.
This patch adds a "pid" argument to _tlbie() on 4xx processors,
and uses it to flush entries in the right context. FSL BookE
also gets the argument but it seems they don't need it (their
tlbivax form ignores the PID when invalidating according to the
document I have).

- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link

This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting.
POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register
but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more
accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase
will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU
frequency.
This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which
is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit.
The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of
these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read.
An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR
was read, which included the system call entry and exit path.
Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was
re-implemented.
I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st
column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below
patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and

There is no reason why the .prepare() and .finish() methods in 'struct
platform_suspend_ops' should take any arguments, since architectures don't use
these methods' argument in any practically meaningful way (ie. either the
target system sleep state is conveyed to the platform by .set_target(), or
there is only one suspend state supported and it is indicated to the PM core
by .valid(), or .prepare() and .finish() aren't defined at all). There also
is no reason why .finish() should return any result.
