Cédric Le Goater 7dcc37b3ef powerpc/xive: Map one IPI interrupt per node 
ipistorm [*] can be used to benchmark the raw interrupt rate of an
interrupt controller by measuring the number of IPIs a system can
sustain. When applied to the XIVE interrupt controller of POWER9 and
POWER10 systems, a significant drop of the interrupt rate can be
observed when crossing the second node boundary.

This is due to the fact that a single IPI interrupt is used for all
CPUs of the system. The structure is shared and the cache line updates
impact greatly the traffic between nodes and the overall IPI
performance.

As a workaround, the impact can be reduced by deactivating the IRQ
lockup detector ("noirqdebug") which does a lot of accounting in the
Linux IRQ descriptor structure and is responsible for most of the
performance penalty.

As a fix, this proposal allocates an IPI interrupt per node, to be
shared by all CPUs of that node. It solves the scaling issue, the IRQ
lockup detector still has an impact but the XIVE interrupt rate scales
linearly. It also improves the "noirqdebug" case as showed in the
tables below.

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.
