Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Generic IRQ entry/exit support for powerpc
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2025 17:23:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251102115358.1744304-1-mkchauras@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Adding support for the generic irq entry/exit handling for PowerPC. The
goal is to bring PowerPC in line with other architectures that already
use the common irq entry infrastructure, reducing duplicated code and
making it easier to share future changes in entry/exit paths.
This is slightly tested of ppc64le and ppc32.
The performance benchmarks from perf bench basic syscall are below:
| Metric | W/O Generic Framework | With Generic Framework | Change |
| ---------- | --------------------- | ---------------------- | ------ |
| Total time | 0.939 [sec] | 0.938 [sec] | ~0% |
| usecs/op | 0.093900 | 0.093882 | ~0% |
| ops/sec | 1,06,49,615 | 1,06,51,725 | ~0% |
Thats very close to performance earlier with arch specific handling.
Tests done:
- Build and boot on ppc64le pseries.
- Build and boot on ppc64le powernv8 powernv9 powernv10.
- Build and boot on ppc32.
- Performance benchmark done with perf syscall basic on pseries.
Changelog:
RFC -> PATCH
- Fix for ppc32 spitting out kuap lock warnings.
- ppc64le powernv8 crash fix.
- Review comments incorporated from previous RFC.
