Looking at the asm for native_sched_clock() I noticed we don't inline
enough. Mostly caused by sharing code with cyc2ns_read_begin(), which
we didn't used to do. So mark all that __force_inline to make it DTRT.

Currently we limit the max addressable memory to 128TB. This patch increase the
limit to 2PB. We can have devices like nvdimm which adds memory above 512TB
limit.
We still don't support regular system ram above 512TB. One of the challenge with
that is the percpu allocator, that allocates per node memory and use the max
distance between them as the percpu offsets. This means with large gap in
address space ( system ram above 1PB) we will run out of vmalloc space to map
the percpu allocation.
In order to support addressable memory above 512TB, kernel should be able to
linear map this range. To do that with hash translation we now add 4 context
to kernel linear map region. Our per context addressable range is 512TB. We
still keep VMALLOC and VMEMMAP region to old size. SLB miss handlers is updated
to validate these limit.
We also limit this update to SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and SPARSEMEM_EXTREME

This adds CONFIG_DEBUG_VM checks to ensure:

slb_flush_and_rebolt() is misleading, it is called in virtual mode, so
it can not possibly change the stack, so it should not be touching the
shadow area. And since vmalloc is no longer bolted, it should not
change any bolted mappings at all.
Change the name to slb_flush_and_restore_bolted(), and have it just
load the kernel stack from what's currently in the shadow SLB area.

When switching processes, currently all user SLBEs are cleared, and a
few (exec_base, pc, and stack) are preloaded. In trivial testing with
small apps, this tends to miss the heap and low 256MB segments, and it
will also miss commonly accessed segments on large memory workloads.
Add a simple round-robin preload cache that just inserts the last SLB
miss into the head of the cache and preloads those at context switch
time. Every 256 context switches, the oldest entry is removed from the
cache to shrink the cache and require fewer slbmte if they are unused.
Much more could go into this, including into the SLB entry reclaim
side to track some LRU information etc, which would require a study of
large memory workloads. But this is a simple thing we can do now that
is an obvious win for common workloads.
With the full series, process switching speed on the context_switch
benchmark on POWER9/hash (with kernel speculation security masures
disabled) increases from 140K/s to 178K/s (27%).
POWER8 does not change much (within 1%), it's unclear why it does not
see a big gain like POWER9.
Booting to busybox init with 256MB segments has SLB misses go down
from 945 to 69, and with 1T segments 900 to 21. These could almost all
be eliminated by preloading a bit more carefully with ELF binary
loading.

This patch moves SLB miss handlers completely to C, using the standard
exception handler macros to set up the stack and branch to C.
This can be done because the segment containing the kernel stack is
always bolted, so accessing it with relocation on will not cause an
SLB exception.
Arbitrary kernel memory must not be accessed when handling kernel
space SLB misses, so care should be taken there. However user SLB
misses can access any kernel memory, which can be used to move some
fields out of the paca (in later patches).
User SLB misses could quite easily reconcile IRQs and set up a first
class kernel environment and exit via ret_from_except, however that
doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment, so we only do that if a
bad fault is encountered.

PPR is the odd register out when it comes to interrupt handling, it is
saved in current->thread.ppr while all others are saved on the stack.
The difficulty with this is that accessing thread.ppr can cause a SLB
fault, but the SLB fault handler implementation in C change had
assumed the normal exception entry handlers would not cause an SLB
fault.
Fix this by allocating room in the interrupt stack to save PPR.

Now that we've split the user & kernel versions of pt_regs we need to
be more careful in the ptrace code.
For now we've ensured the location of the fields in both structs is
the same, so most of the ptrace code doesn't need updating.
But there are a few places where we use sizeof(pt_regs), and these
will be wrong as soon as we increase the size of the kernel structure.
So flip them all to use sizeof(user_pt_regs).
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
We use a shared definition for struct pt_regs in uapi/asm/ptrace.h.
That means the layout of the structure is ABI, ie. we can't change it.
That would be fine if it was only used to describe the user-visible
register state of a process, but it's also the struct we use in the
kernel to describe the registers saved in an interrupt frame.
We'd like more flexibility in the content (and possibly layout) of the
kernel version of the struct, but currently that's not possible.
So split the definition into a user-visible definition which remains
unchanged, and a kernel internal one.
At the moment they're still identical, and we check that at build
time. That's because we have code (in ptrace etc.) that assumes that
they are the same. We will fix that code in future patches, and then
we can break the strict symmetry between the two structs.

When we try to increate the nr_hw_queues, we may fail due to
shortage of memory or other reason, then blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs stops
and some entries in q->queue_hw_ctx are left with NULL. However,
because queue map has been updated with new nr_hw_queues, some cpus
have been mapped to hw queue which just encounters allocation failure,
thus blk_mq_map_queue could return NULL. This will cause panic in
following blk_mq_map_swqueue.
To fix it, when increase nr_hw_queues fails, fallback to previous
nr_hw_queues and post warning. At the same time, driver's .map_queues
usually use completion irq affinity to map hw and cpu, fallback
nr_hw_queues will cause lack of some cpu's map to hw, so use default

bfq defines as asymmetric a scenario where an active entity, say E
(representing either a single bfq_queue or a group of other entities),
has a higher weight than some other entities. If the entity E does sync
I/O in such a scenario, then bfq plugs the dispatch of the I/O of the
other entities in the following situation: E is in service but
temporarily has no pending I/O request. In fact, without this plugging,
all the times that E stops being temporarily idle, it may find the
internal queues of the storage device already filled with an
out-of-control number of extra requests, from other entities. So E may
have to wait for the service of these extra requests, before finally
having its own requests served. This may easily break service
guarantees, with E getting less than its fair share of the device
throughput. Usually, the end result is that E gets the same fraction of
the throughput as the other entities, instead of getting more, according
to its higher weight.
Yet there are two other more subtle cases where E, even if its weight is
actually equal to or even lower than the weight of any other active
entities, may get less than its fair share of the throughput in case the
above I/O plugging is not performed:
1. other entities issue larger requests than E;
2. other entities contain more active child entities than E (or in
general tend to have more backlog than E).
In the first case, other entities may get more service than E because
they get larger requests, than those of E, served during the temporary
idle periods of E. In the second case, other entities get more service
because, by having many child entities, they have many requests ready
for dispatching while E is temporarily idle.
This commit addresses this issue by extending the definition of
asymmetric scenario: a scenario is asymmetric when
- active entities representing bfq_queues have differentiated weights,
as in the original definition
or (inclusive)
- one or more entities representing groups of entities are active.
This broader definition makes sure that I/O plugging will be performed
in all the above cases, provided that there is at least one active
group. Of course, this definition is very coarse, so it will trigger
I/O plugging also in cases where it is not needed, such as, e.g.,
multiple active entities with just one child each, and all with the same
I/O-request size. The reason for this coarse definition is just that a
finer-grained definition would be rather heavy to compute.
On the opposite end, even this new definition does not trigger I/O
plugging in all cases where there is no active group, and all bfq_queues
have the same weight. So, in these cases some unfairness may occur if
there are asymmetries in I/O-request sizes. We made this choice because
I/O plugging may lower throughput, and probably a user that has not
created any group cares more about throughput than about perfect
fairness. At any rate, as for possible applications that may care about
service guarantees, bfq already guarantees a high responsiveness and a
low latency to soft real-time applications automatically.
