[PATCH v2 00/25] powerpc/8xx: Use large pages for RAM and IMMR and other improvments

[PATCH v2 00/25] powerpc/8xx: Use large pages for RAM and IMMR and other improvments

[Christophe Leroy]

The main purpose of this patchset is to dramatically reduce the time
spent in DTLB miss handler. This is achieved by:
1/ Mapping RAM with 8M pages
2/ Mapping IMMR with a fixed 512K page

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.

Once the full patchset applied, the number of DTLB misses during the
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time.

This patch also includes other miscellaneous improvements:
1/ Handling of CPU6 ERRATA directly in mtspr() C macro to reduce code
specific to PPC8xx
2/ Rewrite of a few non critical ASM functions in C
3/ Removal of some unused items

See related patches for details

[PATCH v2 01/25] powerpc/8xx: Save r3 all the time in DTLB miss handler

[Christophe Leroy]

We are spending between 40 and 160 cycles with a mean of 65 cycles in
the TLB handling routines (measured with mftbl) so make it more
simple althought it adds one instruction.

[PATCH v2 02/25] powerpc/8xx: Map linear kernel RAM with 8M pages

[Christophe Leroy]

On a live running system (VoIP gateway for Air Trafic Control), over
a 10 minutes period (with 277s idle), we get 87 millions DTLB misses
and approximatly 35 secondes are spent in DTLB handler.
This represents 5.8% of the overall time and even 10.8% of the
non-idle time.
Among those 87 millions DTLB misses, 15% are on user addresses and
85% are on kernel addresses. And within the kernel addresses, 93%
are on addresses from the linear address space and only 7% are on
addresses from the virtual address space.

MPC8xx has no BATs but it has 8Mb page size. This patch implements
mapping of kernel RAM using 8Mb pages, on the same model as what is
done on the 40x.

In 4k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 4Mb area: we map every two
entries to the same 8Mb physical page. In each second entry, we add
4Mb to the page physical address to ease life of the FixupDAR
routine. This is just ignored by HW.

In 16k pages mode, each PGD entry maps a 64Mb area: each PGD entry
will point to the first page of the area. The DTLB handler adds
gets the 3 bits from EPN to map the correct page.

With this patch applied, we now get only 13 millions TLB misses
during the 10 minutes period. The idle time has increased to 313s
and the overall time spent in DTLB miss handler is 6.3s, which
represents 1% of the overall time and 2.2% of non-idle time.

[PATCH v2 05/25] powerpc/8xx: Fix vaddr for IMMR early remap

[Christophe Leroy]

Memory: 124428K/131072K available (3748K kernel code, 188K rwdata,
648K rodata, 508K init, 290K bss, 6644K reserved)
Kernel virtual memory layout:
  * 0xfffdf000..0xfffff000  : fixmap
  * 0xfde00000..0xfe000000  : consistent mem
  * 0xfddf6000..0xfde00000  : early ioremap
  * 0xc9000000..0xfddf6000  : vmalloc & ioremap
SLUB: HWalign=16, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1

Mapping IMMR 1:1 is just wrong because it may overlap with another
area. On most mpc8xx boards it is OK because IMMR is set to
0xff000000 but for instance on EP88xC board, IMMR is at 0xfa200000
which overlaps with VM ioremap area

This patch fixes the virtual address for remapping IMMR to 0xff000000,
regardless of the value of IMMR.

The size of IMMR area is 256kbytes (CPM at offset 0, security engine
at offset 128) so 512kbytes is enough and allows to handle the EP88xC
case (which is not 8Mbytes but only 2Mbytes aligned) the same way.

[PATCH v2 08/25] powerpc/8xx: Map IMMR area with 512k page at a fixed address

[Christophe Leroy]

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the missed are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)

Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.

When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.

With the patch, on the same principle as what was done for the RAM,
the IMMR gets mapped by a 512k page.

In 4k pages mode, we reserve a 4Mb area for mapping IMMR. The TLB
miss handler checks that we are within the first 512k and bail out
with page not marked valid if we are outside

In 16k pages mode, it is not realistic to reserve a 64Mb area, so
we do a standard mapping of the 512k area using 32 pages of 16:
the CPM will be mapped via the first two pages, and the SEC engine
will be mapped via the 16th and 17th pages

With this patch applies, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

v2:
- using bt instead of blt/bgt
- reorganised in order to have only one taken branch for both 512k
and 8M instead of a first branch for both 8M and 512k then a second
branch for 512k

[PATCH v2 11/25] powerpc/8xx: map 16M RAM at startup

[Christophe Leroy]

On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance
CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough
the kernel code fits in the first 8M.
Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M
at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that.

This patch adds a second 8M page to the initial mapping in order to
have 16M mapped regardless of CONFIG_PIN_TLB, like several other
32 bits PPC (40x, 601, ...)

[PATCH v2 13/25] powerpc/8xx: also use r3 in the ITLB miss in all situations

[Christophe Leroy]

We are spending between 40 and 160 cycles with a mean of 65 cycles
in the TLB handling routines (measured with mftbl) so make it more
simple althought it adds one instruction

[PATCH v2 18/25] powerpc/8xx: rewrite set_context() in C

[Christophe Leroy]

There is no real need to have set_context() in assembly.
Now that we have mtspr() handling CPU6 ERRATA directly, we
can rewrite set_context() in C language for easier maintenance.

[PATCH v2 19/25] powerpc/8xx: rewrite flush_instruction_cache() in C

[Christophe Leroy]

On PPC8xx, flushing instruction cache is performed by writing
in register SPRN_IC_CST. This registers suffers CPU6 ERRATA.
The patch rewrites the fonction in C so that CPU6 ERRATA will
be handled transparently

[PATCH v2 20/25] powerpc32: Remove clear_pages() and define clear_page() inline

[Christophe Leroy]

clear_pages() is never used, and PPC32 is the only architecture
(still) having this function. Neither PPC64 nor any other
architecture has it.

This patch removes clear_page() and move clear_page() function
inline (same as PPC64) as it only is a few isns

flush/clean/invalidate _dcache_range() functions are all very
similar and are quite short. They are mainly used in __dma_sync()
perf_event locate them in the top 3 consumming functions during
heavy ethernet activity

They are good candidate for inlining, as __dma_sync() does
almost nothing but calling them

Does gcc manage to transform this into efficient asm?
Otherwise you could help gcc by using do { .. } while(--i); instead.

This feels optimized for the uncommon case when there is no invalidation.
I THINK it would be better to bail early and use do { .. } while(--i); instead.

If you mean the "if (i)", yes, that looks odd.

Bail under what conditions?

GCC knows how to optimize loops.  Please don't make them less readable.

Been a while since I checked but it used to be bad att transforming post inc to pre inc/dec

I would expect it to use bdnz for this loop, as the loop variable isn't 
referenced in the loop body.

And generally the one proposing uglification-for-optimization should provide 
the evidence. :-)

I usally find it better to dela with special cases upfront så the rest doesn't need to
bother. i=0 is a NOP and it is clearer to show that upfront.

When it comes to gcc, past history is my evidence until proven otherwise :)
Maybe I will check again ...

OK then:
static inline void mb(void)
{
       __asm__ __volatile__ ("sync" : : : "memory");
}

static inline void dcbf(void *addr)
{
       __asm__ __volatile__ ("dcbf 0, %0" : : "r"(addr) : "memory");
}
#define L1_CACHE_SHIFT 5
#define L1_CACHE_BYTES  (1 << L1_CACHE_SHIFT)
void flush_dcache_range(unsigned long start, unsigned long stop)
{
       void *addr = (void *)(start & ~(L1_CACHE_BYTES - 1));
       unsigned int size = stop - (unsigned long)addr + (L1_CACHE_BYTES - 1);
       unsigned int i;

       for (i = 0; i < size >> L1_CACHE_SHIFT; i++, addr += L1_CACHE_BYTES)
               dcbf(addr);
       if (i)
               mb();   /* sync */
}

gives:
flush_dcache_range:
	stwu %r1,-16(%r1)
	rlwinm %r3,%r3,0,0,26
	addi %r4,%r4,31
	subf %r9,%r3,%r4
	srwi. %r10,%r9,5
	beq %cr0,.L1
	mtctr %r10
	.p2align 4,,15
.L4:
#APP
 # 8 "gccloop.c" 1
	dcbf 0, %r3
 # 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
	addi %r3,%r3,32
	bdnz .L4
#APP
 # 3 "gccloop.c" 1
	sync
 # 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
.L1:
	addi %r1,%r1,16
	blr

good enough :)

No, I mean why bother special casing this at all?

I just said why? 
You to found the if(i) mb() a bit odd and it took a little time to see why it was there.
Ahh, you mean just skip the if(i) and have mb() unconditionally?
That changes the semantics a little from the ASM version but perhaps that doesn't matter?

Yes.

Adding more barriers than strictly necessary is a performance concern, not a 
semantic change.  How often are we really calling this function over an empty 
range?

Not that it matters much one way or another...

Here is what I get in asm. First one is with "if (i) mb();". We see gcc 
puts a beqlr. This is the form that is closest to what we had in the 
former misc_32.S
Second one if with "mb()". Here we get a branch to sync for a useless sync

I was more concerned with keeping the code simple than the asm output.

Who cares whether the case that should rarely if ever happen gets a beqlr or a

Right, but is that so complicated to say: if we did nothing in the loop, 
no need to sync ?

As I said, it doesn't matter very much.  I wouldn't put it in personally, but

Isn't this a more general problem?

If there are multiple remap requests for the same physical page
shouldn't the kernel be just increasing a reference count somewhere
and returning address in the same virtual page?
This should probably happen regardless of the address.
I presume it must be done for cacheable mappings.

Whether things like the IMMR should be mapped with a larger TLB
is a separate matter.

Because 'really horrid (tm)' things happen on some cache
architectures if you map the same physical address to
multiple virtual addresses.

Does this just make it simpler or does it make it faster?  What is the
performance impact?  Is the performance impact seen with or without
CONFIG_8xx_CPU6 enabled?  Without it, it looks like you're adding an
mtspr/mfspr combo in order to replace one mfspr.

Instead of hardcoding 0xff000000, can you use asm/fixmap.h to allocate a

Since there is no kernel with more than one of {bats,ltlb,tlbcam} can we
just call it *_block_mapped() and have each subarch provide its
implementation (or stub) thereof?

This patch needs to come before patch 20/25, which uses dcbz().

I know this is 32-bit-specific code, but it's still bad practice to use
"unsigned int" for addresses or sizes thereof.

The performance impact is not noticeable. Theoritically it adds 1 cycle 
on a mean of 65 cycles, that is 1.5%. Even in the worst case where we 
spend around 10% of the time in TLB handling exceptions, that represents 
only 0.15% of the total CPU time. So that's almost nothing.
Behind the fact to get in simpler, the main reason is because I need a 
third register for the following patch in the set, otherwise I would 
spend a more time saving and restoring CR several times.

No, setup_initial_memory_limit() limits the memory to the minimum 
between 16M and the real memory size, so if a platform has only 8M, it 
will still be limited to 8M even with 16M mapped.

It was to keep asm/reg_8xx.h self sufficient for the following patch.

Also because including asm/mmu-8xx.h creates circular inclusion issue 
(mmu-8xx.h needs page.h which includes page-32.h, page-32.h includes 
cache.h, cache.h include reg.h which includes reg_8xx). The circle 
starts with an inclusion of asm/cache.h by linux/cache.h, himself 
included by linux/printk.h, and I end up with 'implicit declaration' issues.

How can I fix that ?

Oh, you took it from __ioremap_caller.  Commented-out code is generally 
frowned upon, and it makes even less sense now because there's no "size" in 
p_mapped_by_other.

If you had said in the changelog that it was because future patches would 
need the register to be saved, we could have avoided this exchange...  
Especially with large patchsets, I review the patches one at a time.  Don't 
assume I know what's coming in patch n+1 (and especially not n+m) when I 
review patch n.

FWIW, the added instruction is an SPR access and I doubt that's only one 
cycle.

mmu-8xx.h should have been including page.h instead of assuming the caller h 
as done so...  but another option is to do what mmu-book3e.h does, and use 
the kconfig symbols instead of PAGE_SHIFT.

According to the mpc885 reference manual (table 9-1), Instruction 
Execution Timing for "Move to: mtspr, mtcrf, mtmsr, mcrxr except mtspr to LR
and CTR and to SPRs external to the core" is "serialize + 1 cycle".
Taking into account we preeceeding instructions are also 'mtspr', we are 
already serialized, so it is only one cycle I believe.
Am I interpreting it wrong ?

I don't know.  The manual doesn't go into much detail about the mechanics of 
serialization.  If it's just about "block[ing] all execution units" without 
any effect on fetching, decoding, etc. then maybe you're right.

Ok, I can fix size, but what about start and stop ? If I change that, it 
means I also have to fix all caller. Do you expect me to do that ?

And it is very unlykely, but what if for some reason someone wants to 
invalidate the entire user address space which is 3Gbytes size ? A 
signed size would be negative here.

Yes good idea, but in asm/fixmap.h FIX_XXXX constants are defined as enums.
Is there a way to use them in head_8xx.S ?

start and stop are already unsigned long.

Why would size be signed?

Oops, indeed I misunderstood your comment, thought you said:
* size has to be signed int instead of unsigned int
* addresses have to be void *

I understand now that size and addresses should be unsigned long instead
