DD2.1 does not have to flush the ERAT after a state-loss idle.
Performance testing was done on a DD2.1 using only the stop0 idle state
(the shallowest state which supports state loss), using context_switch
selftest configured to ping-poing between two threads on the same core
and two different cores.
Performance improvement for same core is 7.0%, different cores is 14.8%.

After handling a transactional FP, Altivec or VSX unavailable exception.
The return to userspace code will detect that the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit is
set and call restore_tm_state(). restore_tm_state() will call
restore_math() to ensure that the correct facilities are loaded.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as
required (by way of an FP/Altivec unavailable exception). Transactional
Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
tm_reclaim() has optimisations to not always save the FP/Altivec
registers to the checkpointed save area. This was originally done
because the caller might have information that the checkpointed
registers aren't valid due to lazy save and restore. We've also been a
little vague as to how tm_reclaim() leaves the FP/Altivec state since it
doesn't necessarily always save it to the thread struct. This has lead
to an (incorrect) assumption that it leaves the checkpointed state on
the CPU.
tm_recheckpoint() has similar optimisations in reverse. It may not
always reload the checkpointed FP/Altivec registers from the thread
struct before the trecheckpoint. It is therefore quite unclear where it
expects to get the state from. This didn't help with the assumption
made about tm_reclaim().
These optimisations sit in what is by definition a slow path. If a
process has to go through a reclaim/recheckpoint then its transaction
will be doomed on returning to userspace. This mean that the process
will be unable to complete its transaction and be forced to its failure
handler. This is already an out if line case for userspace. Furthermore,
the cost of copying 64 times 128 bits from registers isn't very long[0]
(at all) on modern processors. As such it appears these optimisations
have only served to increase code complexity and are unlikely to have
had a measurable performance impact.
Our transactional memory handling has been riddled with bugs. A cause
of this has been difficulty in following the code flow, code complexity
has not been our friend here. It makes sense to remove these
optimisations in favour of a (hopefully) more stable implementation.
This patch does mean that some times the assembly will needlessly save
'junk' registers which will subsequently get overwritten with the
correct value by the C code which calls the assembly function. This
small inefficiency is far outweighed by the reduction in complexity for
general TM code, context switching paths, and transactional facility
unavailable exception handler.
0: I tried to measure it once for other work and found that it was
hiding in the noise of everything else I was working with. I find it
exceedingly likely this will be the case here.

Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec means that a userspace process can
be sent to userspace with FP or Altivec disabled and loaded only as

Memory complicates this situation as a transaction could be started
without FP/Altivec being loaded up. This causes the hardware to
checkpoint incorrect registers. Handling FP/Altivec unavailable
exceptions while a thread is transactional requires a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure the CPU has correct state for both sets of
registers.
Lazy save and restore of FP/Altivec cannot be done if a process is
transactional. If a facility was enabled it must remain enabled whenever
a thread is transactional.
Commit dc16b553c9 ("powerpc: Always restore FPU/VEC/VSX if hardware
transactional memory in use") ensures that the facilities are always
enabled if a thread is transactional. A bug in the introduced code may
cause it to inadvertently enable a facility that was (and should remain)
disabled. The problem with this extraneous enablement is that the
registers for the erroneously enabled facility have not been correctly
recheckpointed - the recheckpointing code assumed the facility would
remain disabled.
Further compounding the issue, the transactional {fp,altivec,vsx}
unavailable code has been incorrectly using the MSR to enable
facilities. The presence of the {FP,VEC,VSX} bit in the regs->msr simply
means if the registers are live on the CPU, not if the kernel should
load them before returning to userspace. This has worked due to the bug
mentioned above.
This causes transactional threads which return to their failure handler
to observe incorrect checkpointed registers. Perhaps an example will
help illustrate the problem:
A userspace process is running and uses both FP and Altivec registers.
This process then continues to run for some time without touching
either sets of registers. The kernel subsequently disables the
facilities as part of lazy save and restore. The userspace process then
performs a tbegin and the CPU checkpoints 'junk' FP and Altivec
registers. The process then performs a floating point instruction
triggering a fp unavailable exception in the kernel.
The kernel then loads the FP registers - and only the FP registers.
Since the thread is transactional it must perform a reclaim and
recheckpoint to ensure both the checkpointed registers and the
transactional registers are correct. It then (correctly) enables
MSR[FP] for the process. Later (on exception exist) the kernel also
(inadvertently) enables MSR[VEC]. The process is then returned to
userspace.
Since the act of loading the FP registers doomed the transaction we know
CPU will fail the transaction, restore its checkpointed registers, and
return the process to its failure handler. The problem is that we're
now running with Altivec enabled and the 'junk' checkpointed registers
are restored. The kernel had only recheckpointed FP.
This patch solves this by only activating FP/Altivec if userspace was
using them when it entered the kernel and not simply if the process is
transactional.

Parallel sensor reads could run out of async tokens due to
opal_get_sensor_data grabbing tokens but then doing the sensor
read behind a mutex, essentially serializing the (possibly
asynchronous and relatively slow) sensor read.
It turns out that the mutex isn't needed at all, not only
should the OPAL interface allow concurrent reads, the implementation
is certainly safe for that, and if any sensor we were reading
from somewhere isn't, doing the mutual exclusion in the kernel
is the wrong place to do it, OPAL should be doing it for the kernel.
So, remove the mutex.
Additionally, we shouldn't be printing out an error when we don't
get a token as the only way this should happen is if we've been
interrupted in down_interruptible() on the semaphore.

Future work will add an opal_async_wait_response_interruptible()
which will call wait_event_interruptible(). This work requires extra
token state to be tracked as wait_event_interruptible() can return and
the caller could release the token before OPAL responds.
Currently token state is tracked with two bitfields which are 64 bits
big but may not need to be as OPAL informs Linux how many async tokens
there are. It also uses an array indexed by token to store response
messages for each token.
The bitfields make it difficult to add more state and also provide a
hard maximum as to how many tokens there can be - it is possible that
OPAL will inform Linux that there are more than 64 tokens.
Rather than add a bitfield to track the extra state, rework the

This patch reorganizes the acquisition code to look at the

it must have no outstanding completions so we should never see an

Although it is fast, it's also completely non standard. The "syscall

only used by one program, now long since discontinued.

We call these functions with non-NULL mm or vma. Hence we can skip the
NULL check in these functions. We also remove now unused function
__local_flush_hugetlb_page().

[mpe: Drop the checks with is_vm_hugetlb_page() as noticed by Nick]

Currently xmon could call XIVE functions from OPAL even if the XIVE is
disabled or does not exist in the system, as in POWER8 machines. This
causes the following exception:
1:mon> dx
cpu 0x1: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c000000423c93450]
pc: c00000000009cfa4: opal_xive_dump+0x50/0x68
lr: c0000000000997b8: opal_return+0x0/0x50
This patch simply checks if XIVE is enabled before calling XIVE
functions.

Access to PSL/XSL_DEBUG registers on the adapter provides easy access
to the debug facilities provided by PSL/XSL. So this patch adds two
new files (debug, xsl-debug) to the cxl-adapter specific debugfs
folder located at /sys/kernel/debugfs/cxl/card<n>, which will provide
direct r/w access to corrosponding debug registers in the adapter
config-space.

Unfortunately userspace can construct a sigcontext which enables
suspend. Thus userspace can force Linux into a path where trechkpt is
executed.
This patch blocks this from happening on POWER9 by sanity checking
sigcontexts passed in.
ptrace doesn't have this problem as only MSR SE and BE can be changed
via ptrace.
This patch also adds a number of WARN_ON()s in case we ever enter
suspend when we shouldn't. This should not happen, but if it does the
symptoms are soft lockup warnings which are not obviously TM related,
so the WARN_ON()s should make it obvious what's happening.

Some Power9 revisions can run in a mode where TM operates without
suspended state. If we find ourself on a CPU that might be in this
mode, we query OPAL to check, and if so we reenable TM in CPU
features, and enable a new user feature to signal to userspace that we
are in this mode.
We do not enable the "normal" user feature, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM, but we
do enable PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC because that indicates to userspace
that the kernel will abort transactions on syscall entry, which is
true regardless of the suspend mode.

Some CPUs can operate in a mode where TM (Transactional Memory) is
enabled but the suspended state of TM is disabled. In this mode
tsuspend does not enter suspended state, instead the transaction is
aborted. Similarly any other event that would lead to suspended state
instead aborts the transaction.
There is also an ABI change, in that in this mode processes are not
allowed to sigreturn with an MSR that would lead to suspended state,
Linux will instead return an error to the sigreturn syscall.
