v3 cover Make use of v7 barriers variants in Linux

Hi all,

This is the third version of the patches I previously posted here:

v1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-June/173952.html
v2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-June/178583.html

The only change since v2 is that the series is now based on 3.11-rc2. I plan to send a pull request to Russell targetting 3.12 pending no further feedback.

Cheers,

Will

PATCH v3 1/12 ARM: mm: remove redundant dsb() prior to range TLB invalidation

The kernel TLB range invalidation functions already contain dsb instructions before and after the maintenance, so there is no need to introduce additional barriers.

PATCH v3 2/12 ARM: tlb: don't perform inner-shareable invalidation for local TLB ops

In reply to Will Deacon

Inner-shareable TLB invalidation is typically more expensive than local (non-shareable) invalidation, so performing the broadcasting for local_flush_tlb_* operations is a waste of cycles and needlessly clobbers entries in the TLBs of other CPUs.

This patch introduces __flush_tlb_* versions for many of the TLB invalidation functions, which only respect inner-shareable variants of the invalidation instructions when presented with the TLB_V7_UIS_FULL flag. The local version is also inlined to prevent SMP_ON_UP kernels from missing flushes, where the __flush variant would be called with the UP flags.

This gains us around 0.5% in hackbench scores for a dual-core A15, but I would expect this to improve as more cores (and clusters) are added to the equation.

PATCH v3 3/12 ARM: tlb: don't bother with barriers for branch predictor maintenance

In reply to Will Deacon

Branch predictor maintenance is only required when we are either changing the kernel's view of memory (switching tables completely) or dealing with ASID rollover.

Both of these use-cases require subsequent TLB invalidation, which has the relevant barrier instructions to ensure completion and visibility of the maintenance, so this patch removes the instruction barrier from [local_]flush_bp_all.

PATCH v3 4/12 ARM: tlb: don't perform inner-shareable invalidation for local BP ops

In reply to Will Deacon

Now that the ASID allocator doesn't require inner-shareable maintenance, we can convert the local_bp_flush_all function to perform only non-shareable flushing, in a similar manner to the TLB invalidation routines.

PATCH v3 5/12 ARM: barrier: allow options to be passed to memory barrier instructions

In reply to Will Deacon

On ARMv7, the memory barrier instructions take an optional `option' field which can be used to constrain the effects of a memory barrier based on shareability and access type.

This patch allows the caller to pass these options if required, and updates the smp_*() barriers to request inner-shareable barriers, affecting only stores for the _wmb variant. wmb() is also changed to use the -st version of dsb.

PATCH v3 6/12 ARM: tlb: reduce scope of barrier domains for TLB invalidation

In reply to Will Deacon

Our TLB invalidation routines may require a barrier before the maintenance (in order to ensure pending page table writes are visible to the hardware walker) and barriers afterwards (in order to ensure completion of the maintenance and visibility in the instruction stream).

Whilst this is expensive, the cost can be reduced somewhat by reducing the scope of the barrier instructions:

- The barrier before only needs to apply to stores (pte writes)
- Local ops are required only to affect the non-shareable domain
- Global ops are required only to affect the inner-shareable domain

This patch makes these changes for the TLB flushing code.

PATCH v3 7/12 ARM: mm: use inner-shareable barriers for TLB and user cache operations

In reply to Will Deacon

System-wide barriers aren't required for situations where we only need to make visibility and ordering guarantees in the inner-shareable domain (i.e. we are not dealing with devices or potentially incoherent CPUs).

This patch changes the v7 TLB operations, coherent_user_range and dcache_clean_area functions to user inner-shareable barriers. For cache maintenance, only the store access type is required to ensure completion.

PATCH v3 8/12 ARM: spinlock: use inner-shareable dsb variant prior to sev instruction

In reply to Will Deacon

When unlocking a spinlock, we use the sev instruction to signal other CPUs waiting on the lock. Since sev is not a memory access instruction, we require a dsb in order to ensure that the sev is not issued ahead of the store placing the lock in an unlocked state.

However, as sev is only concerned with other processors in a multiprocessor system, we can restrict the scope of the preceding dsb to the inner-shareable domain. Furthermore, we can restrict the scope to consider only stores, since there are no independent loads on the unlock path.

A side-effect of this change is that a spin_unlock operation no longer forces completion of pending TLB invalidation, something which we rely on when unlocking runqueues to ensure that CPU migration during TLB maintenance routines doesn't cause us to continue before the operation has completed.

This patch adds the -ishst suffix to the ARMv7 definition of dsb_sev() and adds an inner-shareable dsb to the context-switch path when running a preemptible, SMP, v7 kernel.

PATCH v3 9/12 ARM: kvm: use inner-shareable barriers after TLB flushing

In reply to Will Deacon

When flushing the TLB at PL2 in response to remapping at stage-2 or VMID rollover, we have a dsb instruction to ensure completion of the command before continuing.

Since we only care about other processors for TLB invalidation, use the inner-shareable variant of the dsb instruction instead.

PATCH v3 10/12 ARM: mcpm: use -st dsb option prior to sev instructions

In reply to Will Deacon

In a similar manner to our spinlock implementation, mcpm uses sev to wake up cores waiting on a lock when the lock is unlocked. In order to ensure that the final write unlocking the lock is visible, a dsb instruction is executed immediately prior to the sev.

This patch changes these dsbs to use the -st option, since we only require that the store unlocking the lock is made visible.
