ISA v2.06 adds new variations of wait, specified by the WC field. These

add additional conditions that cause the processor to resume, which can
cause software to hang or run very slowly.

So I suppose this is not a new feature, but a bug fix to remediate these hangs
cause by the incompatibility of the WC field  with other ISA versions. Is
that right?

That's the case. Nick has some kernel patches that make Linux use the
new opcode:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220720132132.903462-1-npiggin@gmail.com/

With these applied the kernel hangs during boot if more than one CPU
is present. I was able to reproduce with ppc64le_defconfig and this
command line:

  qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries,x-vof=on -cpu POWER10 -smp 2 -nographic
-kernel zImage.pseries -no-reboot

Qemu will exit (as there's no filesystem) if the test "passes", or
hang during boot if it hits the bug.

Thanks for the explanation. I'll handle it as a bug fix then.


Also, Nick, down below:



There's a kernel here with the patches applied in case someone else
wants to test:

https://ozlabs.org/~joel/zImage.pseries-v5.19-rc8-wait-v3

Tested-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au>

Because of the hang it would be best if we merged the patch as a fix
sooner rather than later.

Cheers,

Joel

I'm explicitly asking for it because if it's a bug fix it's ok to pick it
during the freeze. Especially here, given that what you're doing is mostly
adding no-ops for conditions that we're not covering.


ISA v3.0 changed the wait opcode and removed the new variants (retaining
the WC field but making non-zero values reserved).

ISA v3.1 added new WC values to the new wait opcode, and added a PL
field.

This implements the new wait encoding and supports WC variants with
no-op implementations, which provides basic correctness as explained in
comments.

v3:
- Add EXTRACT_HELPERs
- Reserved fields should be ignored, not trap.
- v3.1 defines special case of reserved PL values being treated as
    a no-op when WC=2.
- Change code organization to (hopefully) be easier to follow each
    ISA / variation.
- Tested old wait variant with Linux e6500 boot and verify that
    gen_wait is called and takes the expected path.

Thanks,
Nick

The ISA seems to indicate that WC=3 is always reserved in both ISA300 and
ISA310. I believe you can check for WC=3 and gen_invalid() return right
off the bat at this point.


I had a change of heart about this comment. It's better to have each ISA version
handle their conditions in separate, even if they overlap, to make it easier to
extend the function later on if required.


This means that the patch LGTM, so
