powerpc: Don't search for paca in freed memory

2011-05-19T04:30:43+00:00

Starting with 1426d5a3bd07589534286375998c0c8c6fdc5260 (powerpc:
Dynamically allocate pacas) we free the memory for pacas beyond
cpu_possible, but we failed to update the loop the secondary cpus use
to find their paca.  If the system has running cpu threads for which
the kernel did not allocate a paca for they will search the memory that
was freed.  For instance this could happen when the device tree for
a kdump kernel was not updated after a cpu hotplug, or the kernel is
running with more cpus than the kernel was configured.

Since c1854e00727f50f7ac99e98d26ece04c087ef785 (powerpc: Set nr_cpu_ids
early and use it to free PACAs) we set nr_cpu_ids before telling the
cpus to advance, so use that to limit the search.

We can't reference nr_cpu_ids without CONFIG_SMP because it is defined
as 1 instead of a memory location, but any extra threads should be sent
to kexec_wait in that case anyways, so make that explicit and remove
the search loop for UP.

Note to stable: The fix also requires
c1854e00727f50f7ac99e98d26ece04c087ef785 (powerpc: Set
nr_cpu_ids early and use it to free PACAs) to function.  Also
9d07bc841c9779b4d7902e417f4e509996ce805d (Properly handshake CPUs going
out of boot spin loop) affects the second chunk, specifically the branch
target was 3b before and is 4b after that patch, and there was a blank
line before the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP that was removed

powerpc: Use MSR_64BIT in places

2011-04-27T04:18:44+00:00

Use the new MSR_64BIT in a few places. Some of these are already ifdef'ed
for BOOKE vs BOOKS, but it's still clearer, MSR_SF does not immediately
parse as "MSR bit for 64bit".

powerpc: Perform an isync to synchronize CPUs coming out of secondary_hold

2011-04-20T01:03:25+00:00

We need to do that to guarantee they see any code change done by
dynamic patching during boot.

powerpc: Properly handshake CPUs going out of boot spin loop

2011-04-20T01:03:24+00:00

We need to wait a bit for them to have done their CPU setup
or we might end up with translation and EE on with different
LPCR values between threads

powerpc: Call CPU ->restore callback earlier on secondary CPUs

2011-04-20T01:03:24+00:00

We do it before we loop on the PACA start flag. This way, we get a
chance to set critical SPRs on all CPUs before Linux tries to start
them up, which avoids problems when changing some bits such as LPCR
bits that need to be identical on all threads of a core or similar
things like that. Ideally, some of that should also be done before
the MMU is enabled, but that's a separate issue which would require
moving some of the SMP startup code earlier, let's not get there
for now, it works with that change alone.

powerpc: In HV mode, use HSPRG0 for PACA

2011-04-20T01:03:22+00:00

When running in Hypervisor mode (arch 2.06 or later), we store the PACA
in HSPRG0 instead of SPRG1. The architecture specifies that SPRGs may be
lost during a "nap" power management operation (though they aren't
currently on POWER7) and this enables use of SPRG1 by KVM guests.

powerpc/pmac/smp: Properly NAP offlined CPU on G5

2011-04-01T04:37:25+00:00

The current code soft-disables, and then goes to NAP mode which
turns interrupts on. That means that if an interrupt occurs, we
will hit the masked interrupt code path which isn't what we want,
as it will return with EE off, which will either get us out of
NAP mode, or fail to enter it (according to spec).

Instead, let's just rely on the fact that it is safe to take
decrementer interrupts on an offline CPU and leave interrupts
enabled. We can also get rid of the special case in asm for
power4_cpu_offline_powersave() and just use power4_idle().
