powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation

2013-05-30T13:34:59+00:00

commit 120496ac2d2d60aee68d3123a68169502a85f4b5 upstream.

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/nvram: Add compression to fit more oops output into NVRAM

2011-09-19T23:19:46+00:00

Capture more than twice as much text from the printk buffer, and
compress it to fit it in the lnx,oops-log NVRAM partition.  You
can view the compressed text using the new (as of July 20) --unzip
option of the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package.

powerpc/pseries: Add RTAS event log v6 definition

powerpc/pseries: Export rtas_ibm_suspend_me()

2010-10-13T05:19:02+00:00

Export the rtas_ibm_suspend_me() routine.  This is needed to perform
partition migration in the kernel.

powerpc/pseries: Rename RAS_VECTOR_OFFSET to RTAS_VECTOR_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT and move to rtas.h

2010-07-09T01:28:31+00:00

The RAS code has a #define, RAS_VECTOR_OFFSET, that's used in the
check-exception RTAS call for the vector offset of the exception.

We'll be using this same vector offset for the upcoming IO Event interrupts
code (0x500) so let's move it to include/asm/rtas.h and call it
RTAS_VECTOR_EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT.

powerpc/pseries: Migration code reorganization / hibernation prep

2010-07-09T01:26:17+00:00

Partition hibernation will use some of the same code as is
currently used for Live Partition Migration. This function
further abstracts this code such that code outside of rtas.c
can utilize it. It also changes the error field in the suspend
me data structure to be an atomic type, since it is set and
checked on different cpus without any barriers or locking.

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.

powerpc: Use one common impl. of RTAS timebase sync and use raw spinlock

2009-06-26T06:55:25+00:00

Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code,
using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This
moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally
turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on
the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally
masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

powerpc/rtas: Turn rtas lock into a raw spinlock

2009-06-26T04:37:27+00:00

RTAS currently uses a normal spinlock. However it can be called from
contexts where this is not necessarily a good idea. For example, it
can be called while syncing timebases, with the core timebase being
frozen. Unfortunately, that will deadlock in case of lock contention
when spinlock debugging is enabled as the spin lock debugging code
will try to use __delay() which ... relies on the timebase being
enabled.

Also RTAS can be used in some low level IRQ handling code path so it
may as well be a raw spinlock for -rt sake.

powerpc/pseries: Scan for all events in rtasd

Instead of checking for known events, pass in all 1s so we handle future
event types.  We were currently missing the IO event type.
