powerpc/xive: add XIVE Exploitation Mode to CAS

2017-09-02T11:02:38+00:00

On POWER9, the Client Architecture Support (CAS) negotiation process
determines whether the guest operates in XIVE Legacy compatibility or
in XIVE exploitation mode. Now that we have initial guest support for
the XIVE interrupt controller, let's inform the hypervisor what we can
do.

The platform advertises the XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the
property "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1 :

 - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
 - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only
 - 0b10 XIVE legacy or exploitation mode

The OS asks for XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the property
"ibm,architecture-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1:

 - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
 - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only

powerpc: don't fortify prom_init

2017-07-12T23:26:03+00:00

prom_init is a bit special; in theory it should be able to be linked
separately to the kernel.  To keep this from getting too complex, the
symbols that prom_init.c uses are checked.

Fortification adds symbols, and it gets quite messy as it includes
things like panic().  So just don't fortify prom_init.c for now.

powerpc/prom: Increase minimum RMA size to 512MB

2017-04-04T03:27:59+00:00

When booting very large systems with a large initrd, we run out of
space early in boot for either RTAS or the flattened device tree (FDT).
Boot fails with messages like:

	Could not allocate memory for RTAS
or
	No memory for flatten_device_tree (no room)

Increasing the minimum RMA size to 512MB fixes the problem. This
should not have an impact on smaller LPARs (with 256MB memory),
as the firmware will cap the RMA to the memory assigned to the LPAR.

Fix is based on input/discussions with Michael Ellerman. Thanks to
Praveen K. Pandey for testing on a large system.

powerpc: Update to new option-vector-5 format for CAS

2017-03-06T10:44:09+00:00

On POWER9 the ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS) negotiation process
has been updated to change how the host to guest negotiation is done for
the new hash/radix mmu as well as the nest mmu, process tables and guest
translation shootdown (GTSE).

This is documented in the unreleased PAPR ACR "CAS option vector
additions for P9".

The host tells the guest which options it supports in
ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support. The guest then chooses a subset of these
to request in the CAS call and these are agreed to in the
ibm,architecture-vec-5 property of the chosen node.

Thus we read ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support and make our selection before
calling CAS. We then parse the ibm,architecture-vec-5 property of the
chosen node to check whether we should run as hash or radix.

ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support format:

index value pairs:  ... 

index: Option vector 5 byte number
val:   Some representation of supported values

powerpc: Parse the command line before calling CAS

2017-03-06T10:44:08+00:00

On POWER9 the hypervisor requires the guest to decide whether it would
like to use a hash or radix mmu model at the time it calls
ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS) based on what the hypervisor has
said it's allowed to do. It is possible to disable radix by passing
"disable_radix" on the command line. The next patch will add support for
the new CAS format, thus we need to parse the command line before calling
CAS so we can correctly select which mmu we would like to use.

   - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's
     hash table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when

     table to be sized based on the current memory usage of the guest,
     rather than the maximum possible memory usage.

powerpc/pseries: Advertise Hot Plug Event support to firmware

2017-02-21T10:32:53+00:00

With the inclusion of commit 333f7b76865b ("powerpc/pseries: Implement
indexed-count hotplug memory add") and commit 753843471cbb
("powerpc/pseries: Implement indexed-count hotplug memory remove"), we
now have complete handling of the RTAS hotplug event format as described
by PAPR via ACR "PAPR Changes for Hotplug RTAS Events".

This capability is indicated by byte 6, bit 2 (5 in IBM numbering) of
architecture option vector 5, and allows for greater control over
cpu/memory/pci hot plug/unplug operations.

Existing pseries kernels will utilize this capability based on the
existence of the /event-sources/hot-plug-events DT property, so we
only need to advertise it via CAS and do not need a corresponding
FW_FEATURE_* value to test for.

powerpc/pseries: Advertise HPT resizing support via CAS

2017-02-10T02:28:01+00:00

The hypervisor needs to know a guest is capable of using the HPT resizing
PAPR extension in order to make full advantage of it for memory hotplug.

If the hypervisor knows the guest is HPT resize aware, it can size the
initial HPT based on the initial guest RAM size, relying on the guest to
resize the HPT when more memory is hot-added. Without this, the hypervisor
must size the HPT for the maximum possible guest RAM, which can lead to
a huge waste of space if the guest never actually expends to that maximum
size.

This patch advertises the guest's support for HPT resizing via the
ibm,client-architecture-support OF interface. We use bit 5 of byte 6 of
option vector 5 for this purpose, as defined in the PAPR ACR "HPT
resizing option".
