[v2 PATCH 0/4] powernv:idle: Fixes for CPU-Hotplug on POWER DD1.0

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Hi,

This is the second version of the patchset containing the fixes to
make CPU-Hotplug working on correctly on POWER9 DD1 systems.

The earlier version of this patchset can be found here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/13/46

This patch addresses the feedback provided by Nicholas Piggin. The key
changes from the earlier version are:

- Move the piece of code in powernv/smp.c::pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() which
  transitions the CPU to the deepest available platform idle state to a
  new function named pnv_cpu_offline() in powernv/idle.c. The rationale
  behind this code movement is that the data required to determine the
  deepest available platform state resides in powernv/idle.c.

- Adds a more descriptive warning describing the consequences of no
  suitable default/deepest stop states being available.

- Update the commit log for "powernv:Recover correct PACA on wakeup
  from a stop on P9 DD1" describing the problem that it is trying to
  solve.  Also ensure that on P9 DD1, NVGPRs are restored from the
  stack on the way out by setting the NAPSTATELOST in paca.

I have retained Nicholas Piggin's Reviewed-by tag for the second patch
in this series (was first patch in the previous series) even though
the file containing the code is different.

There are four patches in the series.

- The first patch moves the platform-idle code invoked when a CPU offlined from powernv/smp.c to powernv/idle.c

- The second adds a fallback mechanism for CPU-Hotplug when no
  platform idle state is available.

- The third patch ensures that the kernel doesn't use any stop state
  that is not exposed by the firmware.

- The fourth patch adds a recovery framework for correctly recovering
  paca pointer of the thread waking up from a stop.

These patches are based on v4.11-rc3.

The patches have been tested with stop1 (ESL=EC=1) as the
deepest-state entered into during CPU-Hotplug.

[v2 PATCH 1/4] powernv: Move CPU-Offline idle state invocation from smp.c to idle.c

[v2 PATCH 2/4] powernv:smp: Add busy-wait loop as fall back for CPU-Hotplug

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently, the powernv cpu-offline function assumes that platform idle
states such as stop on POWER9, winkle/sleep/nap on POWER8 are always
available. On POWER8, it picks nap as the default state if other deep
idle states like sleep/winkle are not available and enabled in the
platform.

On POWER9, nap is not available and all idle states are managed by
STOP instruction.  The parameters to the idle state are passed through
processor stop status control register (PSSCR).  Hence as such
executing STOP would take parameters from current PSSCR. We do not
want to make any assumptions in kernel on what STOP states and PSSCR
features are configured by the platform.

Ideally platform will configure a good set of stop states that can be
used in the kernel.  We would like to start with a clean slate, if the
platform choose to not configure any state or there is an error in
platform firmware that lead to no stop states being configured or
allowed to be requested.

This patch adds a fallback method for CPU-Hotplug that is similar to
snooze loop at idle where the threads are left to spin at low priority
and hence reduce the cycles consumed.

This is a safe fallback mechanism in the case when no stop state would
be requested if the platform firmware did not configure them most
likely due to an error condition.

Requesting a stop state when the platform has not configured them or
enabled them would lead to further error conditions which could be
difficult to debug.

[v2 PATCH 3/4] powernv:idle: Don't override default/deepest directly in kernel

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently during idle-init on power9, if we don't find suitable stop
states in the device tree that can be used as the
default_stop/deepest_stop, we set stop0 (ESL=1,EC=1) as the default
stop state psscr to be used by power9_idle and deepest stop state
which is used by CPU-Hotplug.

However, if the platform firmware has not configured or enabled a stop
state, the kernel should not make any assumptions and fallback to a
default choice.

If the kernel uses a stop state that is not configured by the platform
firmware, it may lead to further failures which should be avoided.

In this patch, we modify the init code to ensure that the kernel uses
only the stop states exposed by the firmware through the device
tree. When a suitable default stop state isn't found, we disable
ppc_md.power_save for power9. Similarly, when a suitable
deepest_stop_state is not found in the device tree exported by the
firmware, fall back to the default busy-wait loop in the CPU-Hotplug
code.

[v2 PATCH 4/4] powernv: Recover correct PACA on wakeup from a stop on P9 DD1

[Gautham R. Shenoy]

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

POWER9 DD1.0 hardware has an issue due to which the SPRs of a thread
waking up from stop 0,1,2 with ESL=1 can endup being misplaced in the
core. Thus the HSPRG0 of a thread waking up from can contain the paca
pointer of its sibling.

This patch implements a context recovery framework within threads of a
core, by provisioning space in paca_struct for saving every sibling
threads's paca pointers. Basically, we should be able to arrive at the
right paca pointer from any of the thread's existing paca pointer.

At bootup, during powernv idle-init, we save the paca address of every
CPU in each one its siblings paca_struct in the slot corresponding to
this CPU's index in the core.

On wakeup from a stop, the thread will determine its index in the core
from the lower 2 bits of the PIR register and recover its PACA pointer
by indexing into the correct slot in the provisioned space in the
current PACA.

Furthermore, ensure that the NVGPRs are restored from the stack on the
way out by setting the NAPSTATELOST in paca.

Looks good. As a nitpick, possibly one or two variables in idle.c could
become static (pnv_deepest_stop_psscr_*).

Thanks for expanding on this, it makes the patch easier to follow :)

As noted before, I think if we use PACA_EXNMI for system reset, then
*hopefully* there should be minimal races with the initial use of other
thread's PACA at the start of the exception. So I'll work on getting
that in, but it need not prevent this patch from being merged first
IMO.

This is quite neat now you've moved it to its own function. Nice.
It will be only a trivial clash with my patches now, I think.

Hmm... This won't actually work for machine check wakeups either.

We're doing the low level machine check before checking for wakeup,
which complicates things a little bit.

Simplest way to handle that might be to just always immediately
call the restore paca function at machine check entry, and then
just always mark machine checks as not-recoverable for DD1.

Thats the maximum number of threads per core that we have had on POWER
so far.

Perhaps, I can make this

	 struct paca_struct **thread_sibling_pacas;

and allocate threads_per_core number of slots in
pnv_init_idle_states. Sounds ok ?

I wasn't aware of SPRN_TIR!

I can check this. If my reading of the ISA is correct, TIR should
contain the thread number which are in the range [0..3].

I guess that would minimise PACA overhead for non-DD1 machines,
so if it's not too much trouble, that might be good.

Yep.

No problems. Don't worry about the machine check wakeup for the moment
either. It's more important to just get the normal wakeup fix in I think.
We can revisit what to do there after my machine check patches go in
(idle machine check does not really work right now for POWER9 anyway).

Thanks,
