Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls"
| perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench
|
| INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
| 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603
| Task dump for CPU 1:
in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear
search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of
magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand
assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops
yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing
nevertheless in the end.
However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created
from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while
succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by
this patch.
This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running
hackbench under perf with callgraph profiling. The triggering condition
was perf counter overflowing in routine lacking dwarf info (like memset)
leading to patheic 3 million cycle unwinder slow path and by the time it
returned new interrupts were already pending (Timer, IPI) and taken
rightaway. The original memset didn't make forward progress, system kept
accruing more interrupts and more unwinder delayes in a vicious feedback
loop, ultimately triggering the NMI diagnostic.

SYNC in __switch_to() is a historic relic and not needed at all.
- In UP context it is obviously useless, why would we want to stall
the core for all updates to stack memory of t0 to complete before
loading kernel mode callee registers from t1 stack's memory.
- In SMP, there could be potential race in which outgoing task could
be concurrently picked for running on a different core, thus writes
to stack here need to be visible before the reads from stack on
other core. Peter confirmed that generic schedular already has needed
barriers (by way of rq lock) so there is no need for additional arch
barrier.
This came up when Noam was trying to replace this SYNC with EZChip
specific hardware thread scheduling instruction for their platform
support.

Bus errors from userspace on ARCompact based cores are handled by core
as a high priority L2 interrupt but current code treated it as interrupt
Handling an interrupt like exception is certainly not going to go unnoticed.
(and it worked so far as we never saw a Bus error from userspace until
IPPK guys tested a DDR controller with ECC error detection etc hence
needed to explicitly trigger/handle such errors)
- So move mem_service exception handler from common code into ARCv2 code.
- In ARCompact code, define mem_service as L2 interrupt handler which
just drops down to pure kernel mode and goes of to enqueue SIGBUS

Note this is not part of platform owned static machine_desc,
but more of device owned plat_smp_ops (rather misnamed) which a IPI

This will help us seperate out the IPI registration from platform

This adds a platform agnostic early SMP init hook which is called on
Master core before calling setup_processor()
setup_arch()
smp_init_cpus()
smp_ops.init_early_smp()
...
setup_processor()
How this helps:
- Used for one time init of certain SMP centric IP blocks, before
calling setup_processor() which probes various bits of core,
possibly including this block
- Currently platforms need to call this IP block init from their
init routines, which doesn't make sense as this is specific to ARC
core and not platform and otherwise requires copy/paste in all
(and hence a possible point of failure)
e.g. MCIP init is called from 2 platforms currently (axs10x and sim)
which will go away once we have this.
This change only adds the hooks but they are empty for now. Next commit
will populate them and remove the explicit init calls from platforms.

These are not in use for ARC platforms. Moreover DT mechanims exist to
probe them w/o explicit platform calls.
- clocksource drivers can use CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE()
- intc IRQCHIP_DECLARE() calls + cascading inside DT allows external
intc to be probed automatically

The reason this was not done so far was lack of genuine IPI_IRQ for
ARC700, as we don't have a SMP version of core yet (which might change
soon thx to EZChip). Nevertheles to increase the build coverage, we
need to allow CONFIG_SMP for ARC700 and still be able to run it on a
UP platform (nsim or AXS101) with a UP Device Tree (SMP-on-UP)
The build itself requires some define for IPI_IRQ and even a dummy
value is fine since that code won't run anyways.

For non halt-on-reset case, all cores start of simultaneously in @stext.
Master core0 proceeds with kernel boot, while other spin-wait on
@wake_flag being set by master once it is ready. So NO hardware assist
is needed for master to "kick" the others.
This patch moves this soft implementation out of mcip.c (as there is no
hardware assist) into common smp.c

goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
if !Interrupt(L2)
goto l1_chk

goto excep_or_pure_k_ret
; guaranteed to be an interrupt
if !Interrupt(L2)
goto l1_ret
else

Historically this was done by ARC IDE driver, which is long gone.
IRQ core is pretty robust now and already checks if IRQs are enabled
in hard ISRs. Thus no point in checking this in arch code, for every
call of irq enabled.
Further if some driver does do that - let it bring down the system so we
notice/fix this sooner than covering up for sucker
This makes local_irq_enable() - for L1 only case atleast simple enough
so we can inline it.

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.
Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.
Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.
ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
[1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
[2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised
Basic setup look like this:
[1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
[2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
[3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
[4] Let counter reach its limit
[5] Handle interrupt when it happens
Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

This generalization prepares for support of overflow interrupts.
Hardware event counters on ARC work that way:
Each counter counts from programmed start value (set in
ARC_REG_PCT_COUNT) to a limit value (set in ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) and
once limit value is reached this timer generates an interrupt.
Even though this hardware implementation allows for more flexibility,
in Linux kernel we decided to mimic behavior of other architectures
this way:
[1] Set limit value as half of counter's max value (to allow counter to
run after reaching it limit, see below for more explanation):
---------->8-----------
arc_pmu->max_period = (1ULL << counter_size) / 2 - 1ULL;
---------->8-----------
[2] Set start value as "arc_pmu->max_period - sample_period" and then
count up to the limit
Our event counters don't stop on reaching max value (the one we set in
ARC_REG_PCT_INT_CNT) but continue to count until kernel explicitly
stops each of them.
And setting a limit as half of counter capacity is done to allow
capturing of additional events in between moment when interrupt was
triggered until we're actually processing PMU interrupts. That way
we're trying to be more precise.
For example if we count CPU cycles we keep track of cycles while
running through generic IRQ handling code:
[1] We set counter period as say 100_000 events of type "crun"
[2] Counter reaches that limit and raises its interrupt
[3] Once we get in PMU IRQ handler we read current counter value from
ARC_REG_PCT_SNAP ans see there something like 105_000.
If counters stop on reaching a limit value then we would miss
additional 5000 cycles.

When kernel's binary becomes large enough (32M and more) errors
may occur during the final linkage stage. It happens because
the build system uses short relocations for ARC by default.
This problem may be easily resolved by passing -mlong-calls
option to GCC to use long absolute jumps (j) instead of short
relative branchs (b).
But there are fragments of pure assembler code exist which use
branchs in inappropriate places and cause a linkage error because
of relocations overflow.
First of these fragments is .fixup insertion in futex.h and
unaligned.c. It inserts a code in the separate section (.fixup)
with branch instruction. It leads to the linkage error when
kernel becomes large.
Second of these fragments is calling scheduler's functions
(common kernel code) from entry.S of ARC's code. When kernel's
binary becomes large it may lead to the linkage error because
scheduler may occur far enough from ARC's code in the final
binary.

exponential backoff
This is to workaround the llock/scond livelock
HS38x4 could get into a LLOCK/SCOND livelock in case of multiple overlapping
coherency transactions in the SCU. The exclusive line state keeps rotating
among contenting cores leading to a never ending cycle. So break the cycle
by deferring the retry of failed exclusive access (SCOND). The actual delay
needed is function of number of contending cores as well as the unrelated
coherency traffic from other cores. To keep the code simple, start off with
small delay of 1 which would suffice most cases and in case of contention
double the delay. Eventually the delay is sufficient such that the coherency
pipeline is drained, thus a subsequent exclusive access would succeed.
