powerpc: Disable doorbells on Power8 DD1.x

2014-07-22T05:55:24+00:00

These processors do not currently support doorbell IPIs, so remove them
from the feature list if we are at DD 1.xx for the 0x004d part.

This fixes a regression caused by d4e58e5928f8 (powerpc/powernv: Enable
POWER8 doorbell IPIs). With that patch the kernel would hang at boot
when calling smp_call_function_many, as the doorbell would not be
received by the target CPUs:

  .smp_call_function_many+0x2bc/0x3c0 (unreliable)
  .on_each_cpu_mask+0x30/0x100
  .cpuidle_register_driver+0x158/0x1a0
  .cpuidle_register+0x2c/0x110
  .powernv_processor_idle_init+0x23c/0x2c0
  .do_one_initcall+0xd4/0x260
  .kernel_init_freeable+0x25c/0x33c
  .kernel_init+0x1c/0x120
  .ret_from_kernel_thread+0x58/0x7c

powerpc/powernv: Check for IRQHAPPENED before sleeping

2014-07-11T02:55:06+00:00

Commit 8d6f7c5a: "powerpc/powernv: Make it possible to skip the IRQHAPPENED
check in power7_nap()" added code that prevents cpus from checking for
pending interrupts just before entering sleep state, which is wrong. These
interrupts are delivered during the soft irq disabled state of the cpu.

A cpu cannot enter any idle state with pending interrupts because they will
never be serviced until the next time the cpu is woken up by some other
interrupt. Its only then that the pending interrupts are replayed. This can result
in device timeouts or warnings about this cpu being stuck.

This patch fixes ths issue by ensuring that cpus check for pending interrupts
just before entering any idle state as long as they are not in the path of split
core operations.

sched: Fix compiler warnings

2014-07-02T06:33:48+00:00

Commit 143e1e28cb (sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition)
introduced a number of functions with a return value of 'const int'.
gcc doesn't know what to do with that and, if the kernel is compiled
with W=1, complains with the following warnings whenever sched.h
is included.

  include/linux/sched.h:875:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:882:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:889:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
  include/linux/sched.h:1002:21: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

Commits fb2aa855 (sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table)
and 607b45e9a (sched, powerpc: Create a dedicated topology table) introduce
the same warning in the arm and powerpc code.

Drop 'const' from the function declarations to fix the problem.

The fix for all three patches has to be applied together to avoid
compilation failures for the affected architectures.

powerpc: Don't skip ePAPR spin-table CPUs

2014-06-25T03:10:49+00:00

Commit 59a53afe70fd530040bdc69581f03d880157f15a "powerpc: Don't setup
CPUs with bad status" broke ePAPR SMP booting.  ePAPR says that CPUs
that aren't presently running shall have status of disabled, with
enable-method being used to determine whether the CPU can be enabled.

Fix by checking for spin-table, which is currently the only supported
enable-method.

powerpc/module: Fix TOC symbol CRC

2014-06-25T03:10:48+00:00

The commit 71ec7c55ed91 introduced the magic symbol ".TOC." for ELFv2 ABI.
This symbol is built manually and has no CRC value computed. A zero value
is put in the CRC section to avoid modpost complaining about a missing CRC.
Unfortunately, this breaks the kernel module loading when the kernel is
relocated (kdump case for instance) because of the relocation applied to
the kcrctab values.

This patch compute a CRC value for the TOC symbol which will match the one
compute by the kernel when it is relocated - aka '0 - relocate_start' done in
maybe_relocated called by check_version (module.c).

powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover

2014-06-25T03:10:47+00:00

In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
removed.

powerpc/kprobes: Fix jprobes on ABI v2 (LE)

2014-06-24T04:05:55+00:00

In commit 721aeaa9 "Build little endian ppc64 kernel with ABIv2", we
missed some updates required in the kprobes code to make jprobes work
when the kernel is built with ABI v2.

Firstly update arch_deref_entry_point() to do the right thing. Now that
we have added ppc_global_function_entry() we can just always use that, it
will do the right thing for 32 & 64 bit and ABI v1 & v2.

Secondly we need to update the code that sets up the register state before
calling the jprobe handler. On ABI v1 we setup r2 to hold the TOC, on ABI
v2 we need to populate r12 with the function entry point address.

powerpc/ftrace: Use pr_fmt() to namespace error messages

2014-06-24T04:05:50+00:00

The printks() in our ftrace code have no prefix, so they appear on the
console with very little context, eg:

  Branch out of range

Use pr_fmt() & pr_err() to add a prefix. While we're at it, collapse a
few split lines that don't need to be, and add a missing newline to one
message.
