This moves us to use the save_tar() function to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a lot earlier in __switch_to.

We need to save the TAR earlier as we may overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path.

PATCH 1/5 powerpc: Fix hypervisor facility unavaliable vector number

In reply to Michael Neuling

Currently if we take hypervisor facility unavaliable (from 0xf80/0x4f80) we mark it as an OS facility unavaliable (0xf60) as the two share the same code path.

The becomes a problem in facility_unavailable_exception() as we aren't able to see the hypervisor facility unavailable exceptions.

Below fixes this by duplication the required macros.

PATCH 3/5 powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on POWER8

In reply to Michael Neuling

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11. DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes). Currently, we allow this by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot.

Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit).

This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially. If a process then accesses the DSCR (via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in facility_unavailable_exception().

We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on the thread.dscr_inherit.

PATCH 4/5 powerpc: Save the TAR register earlier

In reply to Michael Neuling

This moves us to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a earlier in __switch_to. It introduces a new function save_tar() to do this.

We need to save the TAR earlier as we will overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path. We are going to do this in a subsequent patch which will fix saving the TAR register when it's modified inside a transaction.

PATCH 5/5 powerpc/tm: Fix context switching TAR, PPR and DSCR SPRs

In reply to Michael Neuling

If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began. Any changes to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort handler.

Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR. If we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the checkpointed versions of these SPRs.

This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code.

Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

PATCH 3/4 powerpc: Save the TAR register earlier

In reply to Michael Neuling

This moves us to use the save_tar() function to save the Target Address Register (TAR) a lot earlier in __switch_to.

We need to save the TAR earlier as we may overwrite it in the transactional memory reclaim/recheckpoint path.

Currently we don't save and restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR and DSCR.

This adds the required save and restore to the treclaim and trechkpt code.
