For addresses above 512TB we allocate additional mmu contexts. To make
it all easy, addresses above 512TB are handled with IR/DR=1 and with
stack frame setup.
The mmu_context_t is also updated to track the new extended_ids. To
support upto 4PB we need a total 8 contexts.

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.

Each thread in a process needs to have a unique id within the process.

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.

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:

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.
Having the page table layout changed to accommodate 512TB makes testing
large memory configuration easier with less code changes to kernel

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:

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

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.

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.

Currently tm_orig_msr is getting used during process context switch only.
Then there is ckpt_regs which saves the checkpointed userspace context
The MSR slot contained in ckpt_regs structure can be used during process
context switch instead of tm_orig_msr, thus allowing us to drop it from
thread_struct structure. This patch does that change.

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.

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. It uses this info to perform tasks like
fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core.

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.

The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. 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.

Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state. 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:

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code clears existing exceptions
(__FPU_FPSCR &= ~FP_EX_MASK;) before ORing in the exceptions from the
emulated operation. 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.

Pull KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the 3.13 KVM changes. 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"
