Commit3282a3da25("powerpc/64: Implement soft interrupt replay in C") broke the doorbell wakeup optimisation introduced by commita9af97aa0a("powerpc/64s: msgclr when handling doorbell exceptions from system reset"). This patch restores the msgclr, in C code. It's now done in the system reset wakeup path rather than doorbell interrupt replay where it used to be, because it is always the right thing to do in the wakeup case, but it may be rarely of use in other interrupt replay situations in which case it's wasted work - we would have to run measurements to see if that was a worthwhile optimisation, and I suspect it would not be. The results are similar to those in the original commit, test on POWER8 of context_switch selftests benchmark with polling idle disabled (e.g., always nap, giving cross-CPU IPIs) gives the following results: broken patched Different threads, same core: 317k/s 375k/s +18.7% Different cores: 280k/s 282k/s +1.0% Fixes:3282a3da25("powerpc/64: Implement soft interrupt replay in C") Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200402121212.1118218-1-npiggin@gmail.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
