powerpc/le: Enable RTAS events support

2014-04-07T00:33:12+00:00

The current kernel code assumes big endian and parses RTAS events all
wrong. The most visible effect is that we cannot honor EPOW events,
meaning, for example, we cannot shut down a guest properly from the
hypervisor.

This new patch is largely inspired by Nathan's work: we get rid of all
the bit fields in the RTAS event structures (even the unused ones, for
consistency). We also introduce endian safe accessors for the fields used
by the kernel (trivial rtas_error_type() accessor added for consistency).

powerpc/pseries: Update dynamic cache nodes for suspend/resume operation

2014-03-07T04:54:49+00:00

pHyp can change cache nodes for suspend/resume operation. Currently the
device tree is updated by drmgr in userspace after all non boot CPUs are
enabled. Hence, we do not modify the cache list based on the latest cache
nodes. Also we do not remove cache entries for the primary CPU.

This patch removes the cache list for the boot CPU, updates the device tree
before enabling nonboot CPUs and adds cache list for the boot cpu.

This patch also has the side effect that older versions of drmgr will
perform a second device tree update from userspace. While this is a
redundant waste of a couple cycles it is harmless since firmware returns the
same data for the subsequent update-nodes/properties rtas calls.

powerpc: Make RTAS calls endian safe

2013-08-14T05:33:22+00:00

RTAS expects arguments in the call buffer to be big endian so we
need to byteswap on little endian builds

powerpc: Delete __cpuinit usage from all users

2013-07-01T01:10:36+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros.  There
are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation

2013-05-14T04:36:29+00:00

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation.  After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.

During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor.  Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

powerpc/pseries: Add PRRN RTAS event handler

2013-04-26T06:08:20+00:00

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which
returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform
Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message,
we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were
reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity
information about those resources.

The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with
the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The
four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no
Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter
that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the
specific resource reassignment.

This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function
pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the
ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps
(handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing,
so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue
to allow event processing to continue.

PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be
initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows
us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work
on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have
one event in flight being handled at a time.

powerpc/pseries: Expose pseries devicetree_update()

2013-04-26T06:08:19+00:00

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources
(CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is
predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an
equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused
memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter
the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the
Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a
mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of
its platform resources.

When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS
calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the
updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the
pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration.

This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible
to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update()
to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard
coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls
ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..
