powerpc: flexible GPR range save/restore macros

Introduce macros that operate on a (start, end) range of GPRs, which reduces lines of code and need to do mental arithmetic while reading the code.

powerpc/32: Don't use lmw/stmw for saving/restoring non volatile regs

2021-10-22T04:22:04Z

Instructions lmw/stmw are interesting for functions that are rarely used and not in the cache, because only one instruction is to be copied into the instruction cache instead of 19. However those instruction are less performant than 19x raw lwz/stw as they require synchronisation plus one additional cycle. SAVE_NVGPRS / REST_NVGPRS are used in only a few places which are mostly in interrupts entries/exits and in task switch so they are likely already in the cache. Using standard lwz improves null_syscall selftest by: - 10 cycles on mpc832x. - 2 cycles on mpc8xx.

powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto

2021-08-15T03:49:24Z

Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more flexibility to GCC. For that add an entry to the exception table so that program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution after a WARNING. Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64. unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs) { int ret; WARN_ON(regs->msr & MSR_PR); return regs->gpr[3]; } unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { if (WARN_ON(!b)) return 0; return a / b; } Before the patch: 000003a8 : 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 3c0: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3c4: 4e 80 00 20 blr 0000000000000bf0 <.test9w>: bf0: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 bf4: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 bf8: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 bfc: 2c 24 00 00 cmpdi r4,0 c00: 41 82 00 0c beq c0c <.test9w+0x1c> c04: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c08: 4e 80 00 20 blr c0c: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c10: 4e 80 00 20 blr After the patch: 000003a8 : 3a8: 81 23 00 84 lwz r9,132(r3) 3ac: 71 29 40 00 andi. r9,r9,16384 3b0: 40 82 00 0c bne 3bc 3b4: 80 63 00 0c lwz r3,12(r3) 3b8: 4e 80 00 20 blr 3bc: 0f e0 00 00 twui r0,0 0000000000000c50 <.test9w>: c50: 7c 89 00 74 cntlzd r9,r4 c54: 79 29 d1 82 rldicl r9,r9,58,6 c58: 0b 09 00 00 tdnei r9,0 c5c: 7c 63 23 92 divdu r3,r3,r4 c60: 4e 80 00 20 blr c70: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 c74: 4e 80 00 20 blr In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what happens after the trap.

powerpc/64s: add a table of implicit soft-masked addresses

2021-06-30T12:21:20Z

Commit 9d1988ca87dd ("powerpc/64: treat low kernel text as irqs soft-masked") ends up catching too much code, including ret_from_fork, and parts of interrupt and syscall return that do not expect to be interrupts to be soft-masked. If an interrupt gets marked pending, and then the code proceeds out of the implicit soft-masked region it will fail to deal with the pending interrupt. Fix this by adding a new table of addresses which explicitly marks the regions of code that are soft masked. This table is only checked for interrupts that below __end_soft_masked, so most kernel interrupts will not have the overhead of the table search.

powerpc/64: allow alternate return locations for soft-masked interrupts

2021-06-24T14:06:56Z

The exception table fixup adjusts a failed page fault's interrupt return location if it was taken at an address specified in the exception table, to a corresponding fixup handler address. Introduce a variation of that idea which adds a fixup table for NMIs and soft-masked asynchronous interrupts. This will be used to protect certain critical sections that are sensitive to being clobbered by interrupts coming in (due to using the same SPRs and/or irq soft-mask state).
