	This patch series has patches for POWER DSCR fixes, improvements,
in code documentaion, kernel support user documentation and selftest based
test cases. It has got five test cases which are derived from Anton's DSCR
test bucket which can be listed as follows.

(1) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c
(2) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c
(3) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_exec_test.c
(4) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.c
(5) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c

So the derivied test cases have Anton's copyright along with mine but the
commit message as of now has only my signed-off-by statement. As Anton
mentioned before he would put his signed-off-by after reviewing these
modified test cases.

NOTE1: Anton's original inherit exec test expected the child to have system
default DSCR value instead of the inherited DSCR value from it's parent.
But looks like thats not the case when we execute the test, it always
inherits it's parent's DSCR value over the exec call as well. So I have
changed the test program assuming its correct to have the inherited DSCR
value in the fork/execed child program. Please let me know if thats not
correct and I am missing something there.

Changes in V3:
-------------
- Minor changes to last couple of sysfs test cases
- Added .gitignore file for the new test directory

Changes in V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/13/148)
-------------
- Updated the thread struct DSCR value inside mtspr facility exception path
- Modified the in code documentation to follow the kernel-doc format
- Added seven selftest based DSCR related test cases under powerpc

Currently DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) can be accessed with
mfspr or mtspr instructions inside a thread via two different SPR
numbers. One being the user accessible problem state SPR number 0x03
and the other being the privilege state SPR number 0x11. All access
through the privilege state SPR number get emulated through illegal
instruction exception. Any access through the problem state SPR number
raises one facility unavailable exception which sets the thread based
dscr_inherit bit and enables DSCR facility through FSCR register thus
allowing direct access to DSCR without going through this exception in
the future. We set the thread.dscr_inherit bit whether the access was
with mfspr or mtspr instruction which is neither correct nor does it
match the behaviour through the instruction emulation code path driven
from privilege state SPR number. User currently observes two different
kind of behaviour when accessing the DSCR through these two SPR numbers.
This problem can be observed through these two test cases by replacing
the privilege state SPR number with the problem state SPR number.

	(1) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c
	(2) http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the behaviour visible
to the user remains the same irrespective of which SPR number is being
used. Inside facility unavailable exception, we check whether it was
cuased by a mfspr or a mtspr isntrucction. In case of mfspr instruction,
just emulate the instruction. In case of mtspr instruction, set the
thread based dscr_inherit bit and also enable the facility through FSCR.
All user SPR based mfspr instruction will be emulated till one user SPR
based mtspr has been executed.

The process context switch code no longer uses dscr_default variable
from the sysfs.c file. The variable became unused when we started
storing the CPU specific DSCR value in the PACA structure instead.
This patch just removes this extern declaration. It was originally
added by the following commit.

PACA_DSCR offset macro tracks dscr_default element in the paca
structure. Better change the name of this macro to match that
of the data element it tracks. Makes the code more readable.

further functional changes to the DSCR support in the kernel
should definitely update the documentation here.

+			DSCR (Data Stream Control Register)
+		================================================
+
+DSCR register in powerpc allows user to have some control of prefetch of data
+stream in the processor. Please refer to the ISA documents or related manual
+for more detailed information regarding how to use this DSCR to attain this
+control of the pefetches . This document here provides an overview of kernel
+support for DSCR, related kernel objects, it's functionalities and exported
+user interface.
+
+(A) Data Structures:
+
+	(1) thread_struct:
+		dscr		/* Thread DSCR value */
+		dscr_inherit	/* Thread has changed default DSCR */
+
+	(2) PACA:
+		dscr_default	/* per-CPU DSCR default value */
+
+	(3) sysfs.c:
+		dscr_default	/* System DSCR default value */
+
+(B) Scheduler Changes:
+
+	Scheduler will write the per-CPU DSCR default which is stored in the
+	CPU's PACA value into the register if the thread has dscr_inherit value
+	cleared which means that it has not changed the default DSCR till now.
+	If the dscr_inherit value is set which means that it has changed the
+	default DSCR value, scheduler will write the changed value which will
+	now be contained in thread struct's dscr into the register instead of
+	the per-CPU default PACA based DSCR value.
+
+	NOTE: Please note here that the system wide global DSCR value never
+	gets used directly in the scheduler process context switch at all.
+
+(C) SYSFS Interface:
+
+	Global DSCR default:		/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default
+	CPU specific DSCR default:	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr
+
+	Changing the global DSCR default in the sysfs will change all the CPU
+	specific DSCR defaults immediately in their PACA structures. Again if
+	the current process has the dscr_inherit clear, it also writes the new
+	value into every CPU's DSCR register right away and updates the current
+	thread's DSCR value as well.
+
+	Changing the CPU specif DSCR default value in the sysfs does exactly
+	the same thing as above but unlike the global one above, it just changes
+	stuff for that particular CPU instead for all the CPUs on the system.
+
+(D) User Space Instructions:
+
+	The DSCR register can be accessed in the user space using any of these
+	two SPR numbers available for that purpose.
+
+	(1) Problem state SPR:		0x03	(Un-privileged, POWER8 only)
+	(2) Privileged state SPR:	0x11	(Privileged)
+
+	Accessing DSCR through privileged SPR number (0x11) from user space
+	works, as it is emulated following an illegal instruction exception
+	inside the kernel. Both mfspr and mtspr instructions are emulated.
+
+	Accessing DSCR through user level SPR (0x03) from user space will first
+	create a facility unavailable exception. Inside this exception handler
+	all mfspr isntruction based read attempts will get emulated and returned
+	where as the first mtspr instruction based write attempts will enable
+	the DSCR facility for the next time around (both for read and write) by
+	setting DSCR facility in the FSCR register.
+
+(E) Specifics about 'dscr_inherit':
+
+	The thread struct element 'dscr_inherit' represents whether the thread
+	in question has attempted and changed the DSCR itself using any of the
+	following methods. This element signifies whether the thread wants to
+	use the CPU default DSCR value or its own changed DSCR value in the
+	kernel.
+
+		(1) mtspr instruction	(SPR number 0x03)
+		(2) mtspr instruction	(SPR number 0x11)
+		(3) ptrace interface	(Explicitly set user DSCR value)
+
+	Any child of the process created after this event in the process inherits
+	this same behaviour as well.

  To: linuxppc-dev, linux-kernel; +Cc: mikey, shuahkh, mpe

This patch adds a test case for the system wide DSCR default
value, which when changed through it's sysfs interface must
be visible to all threads reading DSCR either through the
privilege state SPR or the problem state SPR. The DSCR value
change should be immediate as well.

This patch adds a test which modifies the DSCR using mtspr instruction
and verifies the change using mfspr instruction. It uses both the
privilege state SPR as well as the problem state SPR for the purpose.

This test continuously updates the system wide DSCR default value
in the sysfs interface and makes sure that the same is reflected
across all the sysfs interfaces for each individual CPUs present
on the system.

This patch adds a test to update the system wide DSCR value repeatedly
and then verifies that any thread on any given CPU on the system must
be able to see the same DSCR value whether its is being read through
the problem state based SPR or the privilege state based SPR.

Hey Michael/Ben/Mikey,

Do you have any thoughts or updates on this patch series. Its already
been a month for this latest version to be on the list.

Hi Anshuman,

Thanks for getting these testcases into the kernel.

> system call.

One issue I do notice (a bug in my original test cases too), is that we
don't restore the DSCR on exit. I'm not sure we need to go to the
trouble of saving and restoring it, but we should at least get it back
to 0 when done.

Also a tiny nit, no need for a newline in perror():

open() failed
: Permission denied

With those changes you can add:

Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>

to the patches based on my testcases.

Anton

Will save/restore the system DSCR default before exiting.
