powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers

From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:

CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported

Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware.  I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers.  For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

Nick Piggin discovered that lwsync barriers around locks were faster than isync
on 970. That was a long time ago and I completely dropped the ball in testing
his patches across other ppc64 processors.

Turns out the idea helps on other chips. Using a microbenchmark that
uses a lot of threads to contend on a global pthread mutex (and therefore a
global futex), POWER6 improves 8% and POWER7 improves 2%. I checked POWER5
and while I couldn't measure an improvement, there was no regression.

This patch uses the lwsync patching code to replace the isyncs with lwsyncs
on CPUs that support the instruction. We were marking POWER3 and RS64 as lwsync
capable but in reality they treat it as a full sync (ie slow). Remove the
CPU_FTR_LWSYNC bit from these CPUs so they continue to use the faster isync
method.

Since the lwsync section has negative offsets we need to use a signed int
pointer so we sign extend the value.

This patch implements the lwarx/ldarx hint bit for bit locks.
Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx
instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation:

> 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA
> even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds.
>
> 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by
> EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store
> releasing the lock.

To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx
format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple
test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex:

	pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
	pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);

On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in
the futex spinlock code:

    94.37%     perf  [kernel]                     [k] ._raw_spin_lock
               |
               |--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock
               |          |
               |          |--63.29%-- .futex_wake

               |          |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup

Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per
second) are:

before: 1538203 ops/sec
after:  2189219 ops/sec

An improvement of 42%

A 32 core POWER7 improves even more:

after:  2282076 ops/sec

An improvement of 78%

I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg
IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are
presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common
enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day.

Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause
of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are
occurring.

With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The
patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat
summaries.

While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions.
I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate
when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely
handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to
keep a machine check summary.

The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum.

On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up
with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes
impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts.

While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well
pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no
active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count.

The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs.

    The kobject is embedded in mapped device struct, so

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq
returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request().
E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path
     bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load.

When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues
the request and returns to dm_request_fn().  Then, dm_request_fn()
doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing
the requeued request again.
This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled,
so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens.

For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so:
  # dmsetup table mp
  mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1
  # while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done &
  # while true; do \
  > dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \
  > dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \
  > dmsetup resume mp \
  > dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \
  > done

To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit
the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

Analysis

When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.

When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.

Solution

Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:

  - If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
    bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.

  - If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
    a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
    delayed_bio list.

The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected
and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even
though they weren't actually written to any device.  This patch
completes them with EIO instead.

This code path is taken:
do_writes:
	bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync);
do_failures:
	if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
	else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
	else bio_endio(bio, 0);

The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and
misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'.  'overhead_size' is the size of
the various header structures used during communication.

The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure
instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being
computed.  This is then used in a check to see if the payload
(data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure.  Since the
bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the
structure to be breached.  (Although the current users of the code do
not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.)

The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how
much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it
with fresh data.  This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)'
not overhead_size.  The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed
incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's
worth of space at the end uncleared.  Thus, this bug was never producing
a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the
value is computed correctly.

If a table containing zero as stripe count is passed into stripe_ctr
the code attempts to divide by zero.

This patch changes DM_TABLE_LOAD to return -EINVAL if the stripe count
is zero.

We now get the following error messages:
  device-mapper: table: 253:0: striped: Invalid stripe count
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

The 64-bit version of ELF_PLAT_INIT() clears TIF_IA32, but at this point
it has already been cleared by SET_PERSONALITY == set_personality_64bit.

The cached read and write paths initialize fattr->time_start in their
setup procedures.  The value of fattr->time_start is propagated to
read_cache_jiffies by nfs_update_inode().  Subsequent calls to
nfs_attribute_timeout() will then use a good time stamp when
computing the attribute cache timeout, and squelch unneeded GETATTR
calls.

Since the direct I/O paths erroneously leave the inode's
fattr->time_start field set to zero, read_cache_jiffies for that inode
is set to zero after any direct read or write operation.  This
triggers an otw GETATTR or ACCESS call to update the file's attribute
and access caches properly, even when the NFS READ or WRITE replies
have usable post-op attributes.

Make sure the direct read and write setup code performs the same fattr
initialization as the cached I/O paths to prevent unnecessary GETATTR
calls.

This was likely introduced by commit 0e574af1 in 2.6.15, which appears
to add new nfs_fattr_init() call sites in the cached read and write
paths, but not in the equivalent places in fs/nfs/direct.c.  A
subsequent commit in the same series, 33801147, introduces the
fattr->time_start field.

Interestingly, the direct write reschedule path already has a call to
nfs_fattr_init() in the right place.
