[PATCH] powerpc: Add an inline function to update HID0

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

Section 3.7 of Version 1.2 of the Power8 Processor User's Manual
prescribes that updates to HID0 be preceded by a SYNC instruction and
followed by an ISYNC instruction (Page 91).

Create a function name update_hid0() which follows this recipe and
invoke it from the static split core path.

Why is it in there? It's not KVM related per se.

Where should it go? I think reg.h would be best, ideally near the definition
for HID0, though that's probably not possible because of ASSEMBLY requirements.
So at the bottom of reg.h ?

That's going to turn into three separate inline asm blocks, which is maybe a
bit unfortunate. Have you checked the generated code is what we want, ie. just
sync, mtspr, isync ?

Yes, the objdump of subcore.o shows exactly these three instructions:
 7c 00 04 ac     sync    
 7c 70 fb a6     mtspr   1008,r3
 4c 00 01 2c     isync

just to understand, Something like this will not do?

#define update_hid0(x)  __asm__ __volatile__(  
"sync\n"\                      
                                                "mtspr "

Yeah we could do that also.

The static inline is less ugly though.

The "mb()" is not such a great name anyway: you don't want a memory
barrier, you want an actual sync instruction ("sync 0", "hwsync",
whatever the currently preferred spelling is).

The function name should also say this is for POWER8 (the required
sequences are different for some other processors; and some others
might not even _have_ a HID0, or not at 1008).  power8_write_hid0
or such?

For writing it as one asm, why not just

  asm volatile("sync ; mtspr %0,%1 ; isync" : : "i"(SPRN_HID0), "r"(hid0));

instead of the stringify stuff?

Hi Segher,

Thanks for the suggestions. I will rename the function to
update_power8_hid0() and use asm volatile.

It depends on the processor, I'd rather we make this out of line in
misc.S or similar and use the appropriate CPU table bits and pieces.

Some older CPUs require whacking it N times for example.
