All 32 and 64-bit builds that don't have CONFIG_TAU_INT enabled (all
of them), get a definition of TAUException() in traps.c.
On 64-bit it's completely useless, and just wastes ~120 bytes of text.
On 32-bit it allows the kernel to link because head_32.S calls it
unconditionally.
Instead follow the example of altivec_assist_exception(), and if
CONFIG_TAU_INT is not enabled just point it at unknown_exception using
the preprocessor.

During memory hotplug and unplug, resize_hpt_for_hotplug() gets called
for both hash and radix guests but it should be called only for hash
guests. Though the call does nothing in the radix guest case, it is
cleaner to push this call into hash specific memory hotplug routines.

We have powerpc specific logic in our page fault handling to decide if
an access to an unmapped address below the stack pointer should expand
the stack VMA.
The logic aims to prevent userspace from doing bad accesses below the
stack pointer. However as long as the stack is < 1MB in size, we allow
all accesses without further checks. Adding some debug I see that I
can do a full kernel build and LTP run, and not a single process has
used more than 1MB of stack. So for the majority of processes the
logic never even fires.
We also recently found a nasty bug in this code which could cause
userspace programs to be killed during signal delivery. It went
unnoticed presumably because most processes use < 1MB of stack.
The generic mm code has also grown support for stack guard pages since
this code was originally written, so the most heinous case of the
stack expanding into other mappings is now handled for us.
Finally although some other arches have special logic in this path,
from what I can tell none of x86, arm64, arm and s390 impose any extra
checks other than those in expand_stack().
So drop our complicated logic and like other architectures just let
the stack expand as long as its within the rlimit.

We have powerpc specific logic in our page fault handling to decide if
an access to an unmapped address below the stack pointer should expand
the stack VMA.
The code was originally added in 2004 "ported from 2.4". The rough
logic is that the stack is allowed to grow to 1MB with no extra
checking. Over 1MB the access must be within 2048 bytes of the stack
pointer, or be from a user instruction that updates the stack pointer.
The 2048 byte allowance below the stack pointer is there to cover the
288 byte "red zone" as well as the "about 1.5kB" needed by the signal
delivery code.
Unfortunately since then the signal frame has expanded, and is now
4224 bytes on 64-bit kernels with transactional memory enabled. This
means if a process has consumed more than 1MB of stack, and its stack
pointer lies less than 4224 bytes from the next page boundary, signal
delivery will fault when trying to expand the stack and the process
will see a SEGV.
The total size of the signal frame is the size of struct rt_sigframe
(which includes the red zone) plus __SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE (128 bytes on
64-bit).
The 2048 byte allowance was correct until 2008 as the signal frame
was:
struct rt_sigframe {
struct ucontext uc; /* 0 1440 */
/* --- cacheline 11 boundary (1408 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int _unused[2]; /* 1440 16 */
unsigned int tramp[6]; /* 1456 24 */
struct siginfo * pinfo; /* 1480 8 */
void * puc; /* 1488 8 */
struct siginfo info; /* 1496 128 */
/* --- cacheline 12 boundary (1536 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
char abigap[288]; /* 1624 288 */
/* size: 1920, cachelines: 15, members: 7 */
/* padding: 8 */
};
1920 + 128 = 2048
Then in commit ce48b21007 ("powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore,
ptrace and signal support") (Jul 2008) the signal frame expanded to
2304 bytes:
struct rt_sigframe {
struct ucontext uc; /* 0 1696 */ <--
/* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int _unused[2]; /* 1696 16 */
unsigned int tramp[6]; /* 1712 24 */
struct siginfo * pinfo; /* 1736 8 */
void * puc; /* 1744 8 */
struct siginfo info; /* 1752 128 */
/* --- cacheline 14 boundary (1792 bytes) was 88 bytes ago --- */
char abigap[288]; /* 1880 288 */
/* size: 2176, cachelines: 17, members: 7 */
/* padding: 8 */
};
2176 + 128 = 2304
At this point we should have been exposed to the bug, though as far as
I know it was never reported. I no longer have a system old enough to
easily test on.
Then in 2010 commit 320b2b8de1 ("mm: keep a guard page below a
grow-down stack segment") caused our stack expansion code to never
trigger, as there was always a VMA found for a write up to PAGE_SIZE
below r1.
That meant the bug was hidden as we continued to expand the signal
frame in commit 2b0a576d15 ("powerpc: Add new transactional memory
state to the signal context") (Feb 2013):
struct rt_sigframe {
struct ucontext uc; /* 0 1696 */
/* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
struct ucontext uc_transact; /* 1696 1696 */ <--
/* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int _unused[2]; /* 3392 16 */
unsigned int tramp[6]; /* 3408 24 */
struct siginfo * pinfo; /* 3432 8 */
void * puc; /* 3440 8 */
struct siginfo info; /* 3448 128 */
/* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
char abigap[288]; /* 3576 288 */
/* size: 3872, cachelines: 31, members: 8 */
/* padding: 8 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
3872 + 128 = 4000
And commit 573ebfa660 ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit
userspace to 512 bytes") (Feb 2014):
struct rt_sigframe {
struct ucontext uc; /* 0 1696 */
/* --- cacheline 13 boundary (1664 bytes) was 32 bytes ago --- */
struct ucontext uc_transact; /* 1696 1696 */
/* --- cacheline 26 boundary (3328 bytes) was 64 bytes ago --- */
long unsigned int _unused[2]; /* 3392 16 */
unsigned int tramp[6]; /* 3408 24 */
struct siginfo * pinfo; /* 3432 8 */
void * puc; /* 3440 8 */
struct siginfo info; /* 3448 128 */
/* --- cacheline 27 boundary (3456 bytes) was 120 bytes ago --- */
char abigap[512]; /* 3576 512 */ <--
/* size: 4096, cachelines: 32, members: 8 */
/* padding: 8 */
};
4096 + 128 = 4224
Then finally in 2017, commit 1be7107fbe ("mm: larger stack guard
gap, between vmas") exposed us to the existing bug, because it changed
the stack VMA to be the correct/real size, meaning our stack expansion
code is now triggered.
Fix it by increasing the allowance to 4224 bytes.
Hard-coding 4224 is obviously unsafe against future expansions of the
signal frame in the same way as the existing code. We can't easily use
sizeof() because the signal frame structure is not in a header. We
will either fix that, or rip out all the custom stack expansion
checking logic entirely.

We currently try to avoid this by checking if the PE state file exists
before reading from it. This is however inherently racy so re-work the

errors that occur while reading.

KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using
doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared
with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM
guest quirks and improves IPI performance for two cases:
- PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure.
- KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available.
There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable
thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise
particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the
hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case
we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about
containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we
should test for that and override the quirks.

KVM supports msgsndp in guests by trapping and emulating the
instruction, so it was decided to always use XIVE for IPIs if it is
available. However on PowerVM systems, msgsndp can be used and gives
better performance. On large systems, high XIVE interrupt rates can
have sub-linear scaling, and using msgsndp can reduce the load on
the interrupt controller.
So switch to using core local doorbells even if XIVE is available.
This reduces performance for KVM guests with an SMT topology by
about 50% for ping-pong context switching between SMT vCPUs. An
option vector (or dt-cpu-ftrs) could be defined to disable msgsndp
to get KVM performance back.

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.
With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536
thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all
CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs
384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between
the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x.
Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and
barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded
performance is not changed (no measurable difference).
On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally
improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into
kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was
tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be
found here:
https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453
Observations are:
- Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as
expected and as measured with microbenchmarks.
- When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better
throughput and max latency at all points.
- When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching
peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency
at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency
rises when clients are 2x vCPUs.
The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot
of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking,
but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively
small systems.

To prepare for queued spinlocks. This is a simple rename except to
update preprocessor guard name and a file reference.
