2009-05-21powerpc: Improve decrementer accuracyAnton Blanchard
I have been looking at sources of OS jitter and notice that after a long NO_HZ idle period we wakeup too early: relative time (us) event timer irq exit 999946.405 timer irq entry 4.835 timer irq exit 21.685 timer irq entry 3.540 timer (tick_sched_timer) entry Here we slept for just under a second then took a timer interrupt that did nothing. 21.685 us later we wake up again and do the work. We set a rather low shift value of 16 for the decrementer clockevent, which I think is causing this issue. On this box we have a 207MHz decrementer and see: clockevent: decrementer mult[3501] shift[16] cpu[0] For calculations of large intervals this mult/shift combination could be off by a significant amount. I notice the sparc code has a loop that iterates to find a mult/shift combination that maximises the shift value while keeping mult under 32bit. With the patch below we get: clockevent: decrementer mult[35015c20] shift[32] cpu[15] And we no longer see the spurious wakeups.

2008-12-31[PATCH] idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-31[PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.

2008-11-06powerpc: Eliminate unused do_gtod variablePaul Mackerras
Since we started using the generic timekeeping code, we haven't had a powerpc-specific version of do_gettimeofday, and hence there is now nothing that reads the do_gtod variable in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c. This therefore removes it and the code that sets it. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-11-06powerpc: Improve resolution of VDSO clock_gettimePaul Mackerras
Currently the clock_gettime implementation in the VDSO produces a result with microsecond resolution for the cases that are handled without a system call, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. The nanoseconds field of the result is obtained by computing a microseconds value and multiplying by 1000. This changes the code in the VDSO to do the computation for clock_gettime with nanosecond resolution. That means that the resolution of the result will ultimately depend on the timebase frequency. Because the timestamp in the VDSO datapage (stamp_xsec, the real time corresponding to the timebase count in tb_orig_stamp) is in units of 2^-20 seconds, it doesn't have sufficient resolution for computing a result with nanosecond resolution. Therefore this adds a copy of xtime to the VDSO datapage and updates it in update_gtod() along with the other time-related fields. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-12-21[POWERPC] Implement arch disable/enable irq hooks.Scott Wood
These hooks ensure that a decrementer interrupt is not pending when suspending; otherwise, problems may occur on 6xx/7xx/7xxx-based systems (except for powermacs, which use a separate suspend path). For example, with deep sleep on the 831x, a pending decrementer will cause a system freeze because the SoC thinks the decrementer interrupt would have woken the system, but the core must have interrupts disabled due to the setup required for deep sleep. Changed via-pmu.c to use the new ppc_md hooks, and made the arch_* functions call the generic_* functions unconditionally. -- paulus Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-12-20[POWERPC] Optimize account_system_vtimeMilton Miller
We have multiple calls to has_feature being inlined, but gcc can't be sure that the store via get_paca() doesn't alias the path to cur_cpu_spec->feature. Reorder to put the calls to read_purr and read_spurr adjacent to each other. To add a sense of consistency, reorder the remaining lines to perform parallel steps on purr and scaled purr of each line instead of calculating and then using one value before going on to the next. In addition, we can tell gcc that no SPURR means no PURR. The test is completely hidden in the PURR case, and in the !PURR case the second test is eliminated resulting in the simple register copy in the out-of-line branch. Further, gcc sees get_paca()->system_time referenced several times and allocates a register to address it (shadowing r13) instead of caching its value. Reading into a local varable saves the shadow of r13 and removes a potentially duplicate load (between the nested if and its parent).

2007-11-09sched: restore deterministic CPU accounting on powerpcPaul Mackerras
Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times(). This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times that updates utime and stime into a separate function called account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined, there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to implement account_process_tick. This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390 timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a suitable account_process_tick(). account_process_tick() now takes the task_struct * as an argument. Tested both with and without CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-11-08[POWERPC] Fix off-by-one error in setting decrementer on Book E/4xx (v2)Paul Mackerras
The decrementer in Book E and 4xx processors interrupts on the transition from 1 to 0, rather than on the 0 to -1 transition as on 64-bit server and 32-bit "classic" (6xx/7xx/7xxx) processors. At the moment we subtract 1 from the count of how many decrementer ticks are required before the next interrupt before putting it into the decrementer, which is correct for server/classic processors, but could possibly cause the interrupt to happen too early on Book E and 4xx if the timebase/decrementer frequency is low. This fixes the problem by making set_dec subtract 1 from the count for server and classic processors, instead of having the callers subtract 1. Since set_dec already had a bunch of ifdefs to handle different processor types, there is no net increase in ugliness. :) Note that calling set_dec(0) may not generate an interrupt on some processors. To make sure that decrementer_set_next_event always calls set_dec with an interval of at least 1 tick, we set min_delta_ns of the decrementer_clockevent to correspond to 2 ticks (2 rather than 1 to compensate for truncations in the conversions between ticks and ns). This also removes a redundant call to set the decrementer to 0x7fffffff - it was already set to that earlier in timer_interrupt. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-18powerpc: add scaled time accountingMichael Neuling
This adds POWERPC specific hooks for scaled time accounting. POWER6 includes a SPURR register. The SPURR is based off the PURR register but is scaled based on CPU frequency and issue rates. This gives a more accurate account of the instructions used per task. The PURR and timebase will be constant relative to the wall clock, irrespective of the CPU frequency. This implementation reads the SPURR register in account_system_vtime which is only call called on context witch and hard and soft irq entry and exit. The percentage of user and system time is then estimated using the ratio of these accounted by the PURR. If the SPURR is not present, the PURR read. An earlier implementation of this patch read the SPURR whenever the PURR was read, which included the system call entry and exit path. Unfortunately this showed a performance regression on lmbench runs, so was re-implemented. I've included the lmbench results here when run bare metal on POWER6. 1st column is the unpatch results. 2nd column is the results using the below patch and the 3rd is the % diff of these results from the base. 4th and 5th columns are the results and % differnce from the base using the older patch (SPURR read in syscall entry/exit path).

2007-10-11[POWERPC] Make clockevents work on PPC601 processorsPaul Mackerras
In testing the new clocksource and clockevent code on a PPC601 processor, I discovered that the clockevent multiplier value for the decrementer clockevent was overflowing. Because the RTCL register in the 601 effectively counts at 1GHz (it doesn't actually, but it increases by 128 every 128ns), and the shift value was 32, that meant the multiplier value had to be 2^32, which won't fit in an unsigned long on 32-bit. The same problem would arise on any platform where the timebase frequency was 1GHz or more (not that we actually have any such machines today). This fixes it by reducing the shift value to 16. Doing the calculations with a resolution of 2^-16 nanoseconds (15 femtoseconds) should be quite adequate. :) Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-10-11[POWERPC] Prevent decrementer clockevents from firing earlyPaul Mackerras
On old powermacs, we sometimes set the decrementer to 1 in order to trigger a decrementer interrupt, which we use to handle an interrupt that was pending at the time when it was re-enabled. This was causing the decrementer clock event device to call the event function for the next event early, which was causing problems when high-res timers were not enabled. This fixes the problem by recording the timebase value at which the next event should occur, and checking the current timebase against the recorded value in timer_interrupt. If it isn't time for the next event, it just reprograms the decrementer and returns. This also subtracts 1 from the value stored into the decrementer, which is appropriate because the decrementer interrupts on the transition from 0 to -1, not when the decrementer reaches 0.

2007-09-19[POWERPC] Fix timekeeping on PowerPC 601Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Recent changes to the timekeeping code broke support for the PowerPC 601 processor which doesn't have the usual timebase facility but a slightly different thing called (yuck) the RTC. This fixes it, boot tested on an old 601 based PowerMac 7200. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-07-20[CELL] oprofile: add support to OProfile for profiling CELL BE SPUsBob Nelson
From: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com> This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c to add in the SPU profiling capabilities. In addition, a 'cell' subdirectory was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling code. Exports spu_set_profile_private_kref and spu_get_profile_private_kref which are used by OProfile to store private profile information in spufs data structures. Also incorporated several fixes from other patches (rrn). Check pointer returned from kzalloc. Eliminated unnecessary cast. Better error handling and cleanup in the related area. 64-bit unsigned long parameter was being demoted to 32-bit unsigned int and eventually promoted back to unsigned long.

2007-07-10[POWERPC] Modify sched_clock() to make CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME more saneTony Breeds
When booting a current kernel with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled you'll see messages like: [ 0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz [ 0.000000] time_init: processor frequency = 1504.352000 MHz [3712914.436297] Console: colour dummy device 80x25 This cause by the initialisation of tb_to_ns_scale in time_init(), suddenly the multiplication in sched_clock() now does something :). This patch modifies sched_clock() to report the offset since the machine booted so the same printk's now look like: [ 0.000000] time_init: decrementer frequency = 188.044000 MHz [ 0.000000] time_init: processor frequency = 1504.352000 MHz [ 0.000135] Console: colour dummy device 80x25 Effectivly including the uptime in printk()s. This patch makes tb_to_ns_scale and tb_to_ns_shift static and read_mostly for good measure. Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-28[POWERPC] Move iSeries_tb_recal into its own late_initcall.Tony Breeds
Currently iSeries will recalibrate the cputime_factors in the first settimeofday() call. It seems the reason for doing this is to ensure a resaonable time delta after time_init(). On current kernels (with udev), this call is made 40-60 seconds into the boot process, by moving it to a late initcall it is called approximately 5 seconds after time_init() is called. This is sufficient to recalibrate the timebase. Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com> CC: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2007-06-25[POWERPC] Fix stolen time for SMT without LPARMichael Neuling
For POWERPC, stolen time accounts for cycles lost to the hypervisor or PURR cycles attributed to the other SMT thread. Hence, when a PURR is available, we should still calculate stolen time, irrespective of being virtualised.

2007-06-25[POWERPC] Remove spinlock from struct cpu_purr_dataNathan Lynch
cpu_purr_data is a per-cpu array used to account for stolen time on partitioned systems. It used to be the case that cpus accessed each others' cpu_purr_data, so each entry was protected by a spinlock. However, the code was reworked ("Simplify stolen time calculation") with the result that each cpu accesses its own cpu_purr_data and not those of other cpus. This means we can get rid of the spinlock as long as we're careful to disable interrupts when accessing cpu_purr_data in process context.

2007-05-12[POWERPC] Simplify smp_space_timerswill schmidt
Greatly simplify the function smp_space_timers. The stolen time calculation (per comment within the code) doesn't need the half-jiffy stagger any more. There isn't an issue with bouncing off global locks, so we really shouldn't need any sort of staggering at all. However, the last_jiffy value still needs to be set. This removes the extra stagger logic, and just sets the values. This change should benefit applications that rely on barrier synchronization, and will help cut down OS jitter.

2006-10-23[POWERPC] Simplify stolen time calculationStephen Rothwell
In calculating stolen time, we were trying to actually account for time spent in the hypervisor. We don't really have enough information to do that accurately, so don't try. Instead, we now calculate stolen time as time that the current cpu thread is not actually dispatching instructions. On chips without a PURR, we cannot do this, so stolen time will always be zero. On chips with a PURR, this is merely the difference between the elapsed PURR values and the elapsed TB values. This gives us much more sane vaules from tools such as mpstat, even if they are still a bit strange e.g. 2 busy threads on one cpu will both appear to have 50% user time and 50% stolen time while 1 busy thread on a cpu will look like 100% user on one of them and 100% idle on the other.
