On a 2-socket Power9 system with 32 cores/128 threads (SMT4) and 1TB
of memory running the following guest configs:
guest A:
- 224GB of memory
- 56 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=28,threads=2), where:
VCPUs 0-1 are pinned to CPUs 0-3,
VCPUs 2-3 are pinned to CPUs 4-7,
...
VCPUs 54-55 are pinned to CPUs 108-111
guest B:

- 4 VCPUs (sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1)
with the following workloads (with KSM and THP enabled in all):
guest A:
stress --cpu 40 --io 20 --vm 20 --vm-bytes 512M
guest B:

It was subsequently found that ipi_message[PPC_MSG_CALL_FUNCTION]
was set for CPU 42 by at least 1 of the CPUs waiting in
smp_call_function_many(), but somehow the corresponding
call_single_queue entries were never processed by CPU 42, causing the
callers to spin in csd_lock_wait() indefinitely.
Nick Piggin suggested something similar to the following sequence as
a possible explanation (interleaving of CALL_FUNCTION/RESCHEDULE
IPI messages seems to be most common, but any mix of CALL_FUNCTION and
!CALL_FUNCTION messages could trigger it):
CPU
X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
X: smp_mb()
X: message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
X: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
X: ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
X: ppc_msgsnd() -> 42
42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
42: ppc_msgsync()
105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
105: smb_mb()
// STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
--105: message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
| 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
| 105: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
| 42: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
| 42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
| 42: // returns to executing guest
| // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
->105: message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
105: ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
105: ppc_msgsnd() -> 42
42: local_paca->kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue
This can be prevented with an smp_mb() at the beginning of
kvmppc_set_host_ipi(), such that stores to message[<type>] (or other
state indicated by the host_ipi flag) are ordered vs. the store to
to host_ipi.
However, doing so might still allow for the following scenario (not
yet observed):
CPU
X: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
X: smp_mb()
X: message[RESCHEDULE] = 1
X: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
X: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
X: ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
X: ppc_msgsnd() -> 42
42: doorbell_exception(): // from CPU X
42: ppc_msgsync()
// STORE DEFERRED DUE TO RE-ORDERING
-- 42: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
| 42: smp_ipi_demux_relaxed()
| 105: smp_muxed_ipi_set_message():
| 105: smb_mb()
| 105: message[CALL_FUNCTION] = 1
| 105: doorbell_global_ipi(42):
| 105: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 1)
| // RE-ORDERED STORE COMPLETES
-> 42: kvmppc_set_host_ipi(42, 0)
42: // returns to executing guest
105: ppc_msgsnd_sync()/smp_mb()
105: ppc_msgsnd() -> 42
42: local_paca->kvm_hstate.host_ipi == 0 // IPI ignored
105: // hangs waiting on 42 to process messages/call_single_queue
Fixing this scenario would require an smp_mb() *after* clearing
host_ipi flag in kvmppc_set_host_ipi() to order the store vs.
subsequent processing of IPI messages.
To handle both cases, this patch splits kvmppc_set_host_ipi() into
separate set/clear functions, where we execute smp_mb() prior to
setting host_ipi flag, and after clearing host_ipi flag. These
functions pair with each other to synchronize the sender and receiver
sides.
With that change in place the above workload ran for 20 hours without
triggering any lock-ups.

Change the doorbell callers to know about their msgsnd addressing,
rather than have them set a per-cpu target data tag at boot that gets
sent to the cause_ipi functions. The data is only used for doorbell IPI
functions, no other IPI types, so it makes sense to keep that detail
local to doorbell.
Have the platform code understand doorbell IPIs, rather than the
interrupt controller code understand them. Platform code can look at
capabilities it has available and decide which to use.

Since we can now use hypervisor doorbells for host IPIs, this makes
sure we clear the host IPI flag when taking a doorbell interrupt, and
clears any pending doorbell IPI in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self() (as we
already do for IPIs sent via the XICS interrupt controller). Otherwise
if there did happen to be a leftover pending doorbell interrupt for
an offline CPU thread for any reason, it would prevent that thread from
going into a power-saving mode; it would instead keep waking up because
of the interrupt.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
__this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++

There are a few key differences between doorbells on server compared
with embedded that we care about on Linux, namely:
- We have a new msgsndp instruction for directed privileged doorbells.
msgsnd is used for directed hypervisor doorbells.
- The tag we use in the instruction is the Thread Identification
Register of the recipient thread (since server doorbells can only
occur between threads within a single core), and is only 7 bits wide.
- A new message type is introduced for server doorbells (none of the
existing book3e message types are currently supported on book3s).

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
issues that this tries to address.
We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
interrupts.
The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
"edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.
Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.
This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.
The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
"irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
occurred while soft-disabled.
When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
field.
We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
arch_local_irq_enable case).
This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
fake interrupts, among others.
In addition, this adds a few refinements:
- We no longer hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
(on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
performance monitor interrupts.
- Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
perf sample quality.
- On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)
- We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

- Fix CR clobber in masked irq handling on BookE
- Make embedded perf interrupt act as an NMI
- Add a PACA_HAPPENED_EE_EDGE for use by FSL if they want
to retrigger an interrupt without preventing hard-enable
v3:
- Fix or vs. ori bug on Book3E
- Fix enabling of interrupts for some exceptions on Book3E
v4:
- Fix resend of doorbells on return from interrupt on Book3E
v5:
- Rebased on top of my latest series, which involves some significant
rework of some aspects of the patch.
v6:
- 32-bit compile fix
- more compile fixes with various .config combos
- factor out the asm code to soft-disable interrupts
- remove the C wrapper around preempt_schedule_irq
v7:
- Fix a bug with hard irq state tracking on native power7
Consolidate the mux and demux of ipi messages into smp.c and call
a new smp_ops callback to actually trigger the ipi.
The powerpc architecture code is optimised for having 4 distinct
ipi triggers, which are mapped to 4 distinct messages (ipi many, ipi
single, scheduler ipi, and enter debugger). However, several interrupt
controllers only provide a single software triggered interrupt that
can be delivered to each cpu. To resolve this limitation, each smp_ops
implementation created a per-cpu variable that is manipulated with atomic
bitops. Since these lines will be contended they are optimialy marked as
shared_aligned and take a full cache line for each cpu. Distro kernels
may have 2 or 3 of these in their config, each taking per-cpu space
even though at most one will be in use.
This consolidation removes smp_message_recv and replaces the single call
actions cases with direct calls from the common message recognition loop.
The complicated debugger ipi case with its muxed crash handling code is
moved to debug_ipi_action which is now called from the demux code (instead
of the multi-message action calling smp_message_recv).
I put a call to reschedule_action to increase the likelyhood of correctly
merging the anticipated scheduler_ipi() hook coming from the scheduler
tree; that single required call can be inlined later.
The actual message decode is a copy of the old pseries xics code with its
memory barriers and cache line spacing, augmented with a per-cpu unsigned
long based on the book-e doorbell code. The optional data is set via a
callback from the implementation and is passed to the new cause-ipi hook
along with the logical cpu number. While currently only the doorbell
implemntation uses this data it should be almost zero cost to retrieve and
pass it -- it adds a single register load for the argument from the same
cache line to which we just completed a store and the register is dead
on return from the call. I extended the data element from unsigned int
to unsigned long in case some other code wanted to associate a pointer.
The doorbell check_self is replaced by a call to smp_muxed_ipi_resend,
conditioned on the CPU_DBELL feature. The ifdef guard could be relaxed
to CONFIG_SMP but I left it with BOOKE for now.
Also, the doorbell interrupt vector for book-e was not calling irq_enter
and irq_exit, which throws off cpu accounting and causes code to not
realize it is running in interrupt context. Add the missing calls.

Now that smp_ops->smp_message_pass is always called with an (online) cpu
number for the target remove the checks for MSG_ALL and MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF.

If we are soft disabled and receive a doorbell exception we don't process
it immediately. This means we need to check on the way out of irq restore
if there are any doorbell exceptions to process.
The problem is at that point we don't know what our regs are, and that
in turn makes xmon unhappy. To workaround the problem, instead of checking
for and processing doorbells, we check for any doorbells and if there were
any we send ourselves another.

include/asm-generic/irq_regs.h declares per-cpu irq_regs variables and
get_irq_regs() and set_irq_regs() helper functions to maintain them.
These can be used to access the proper pt_regs structure related to the
current interrupt entry (if any).
In the powerpc arch code, this is used to maintain irq regs on
decrementer and external interrupt exceptions. However, for the
doorbell exceptions used by the msgsnd/msgrcv IPI mechanism of newer
BookE CPUs, the irq_regs are not kept up to date.
In particular this means that xmon will not work properly on SMP,
because the secondary xmon instances started by IPI will blow up when
they cannot retrieve the irq regs.
This patch fixes the problem by adding calls to maintain the irq regs
across doorbell exceptions.

The doorbells use the content of the PIR register to match messages
from other CPUs. This may or may not be the same as our linux CPU
number, so using that as the "target" is no right.
Instead, we sample the PIR register at boot on every processor
and use that value subsequently when sending IPIs.
We also use a per-cpu message mask rather than a global array which
should limit cache line contention.
Note: We could use the CPU number in the device-tree instead of
the PIR register, as they are supposed to be equivalent. This
might prove useful if doorbells are to be used to kick CPUs out
of FW at boot time, thus before we can sample the PIR. This is
however not the case now and using the PIR just works.

The e500mc supports the new msgsnd/doorbell mechanisms that were added in
the Power ISA 2.05 architecture. We use the normal level doorbell for
doing SMP IPIs at this point.
