powerpc: Fix unpaired probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit

2012-01-12T19:33:14+00:00

commit e4f387d8db3ba3c2dae4d8bdfe7bb5f4fe1bcb0d upstream.

Unpaired calling of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit might happen
as following, which could cause incorrect preempt count.

__trace_hcall_entry => trace_hcall_entry -> probe_hcall_entry =>
get_cpu_var => preempt_disable

__trace_hcall_exit => trace_hcall_exit -> probe_hcall_exit =>
put_cpu_var => preempt_enable

where:
A => B and A -> B means A calls B, but
=> means A will call B through function name, and B will definitely be
called.
-> means A will call B through function pointer, so B might not be
called if the function pointer is not set.

So error happens when only one of probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit
get called during a hcall.

This patch tries to move the preempt count operations from
probe_hcall_entry and probe_hcall_exit to its callers.

powerpc/ps3: Fix lost SMP IPIs

2011-11-21T22:35:26+00:00

commit 72f3bea075287785ed32b777b6dd2636aa7002e8 upstream.

Fixes the PS3 bootup hang introduced in 3.0-rc1 by:

  commit 317f394160e9beb97d19a84c39b7e5eb3d7815a
  sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu

Move the PS3's LV1 EOI call lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() from ps3_chip_eoi()
to ps3_get_irq() for IPI messages.

If lv1_send_event_locally() is called between a previous call to
lv1_send_event_locally() and the coresponding call to
lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() the second event will not be delivered to the
target cpu.

The PS3's SMP IPIs are implemented using lv1_send_event_locally(), so if two
IPI messages of the same type are sent to the same target in a relatively
short period of time the second IPI event can become lost when
lv1_end_of_interrupt_ext() is called from ps3_chip_eoi().

powerpc/eeh: Fix /proc/ppc64/eeh creation

2011-11-11T17:44:42+00:00

commit 8feaa43494cee5e938fd5a57b9e9bf1c827e6ccd upstream.

Since commit 188917e183cf9ad0374b571006d0fc6d48a7f447, /proc/ppc64 is a
symlink to /proc/powerpc/. That means that creating /proc/ppc64/eeh will
end up with a unaccessible file, that is not listed under /proc/powerpc/
and, then, not listed under /proc/ppc64/.

Creating /proc/powerpc/eeh fixes that problem and maintain the
compatibility intended with the ppc64 symlink.

powerpc/pseries: Avoid spurious error during hotplug CPU add

2011-11-11T17:44:42+00:00

commit 9c740025c51a26ab00192cfc464064d4ccbfe3fc upstream.

During hotplug CPU add we get the following error:

Unexpected Error (0) returned from configure-connector

ibm,configure-connector returns 0 for configuration complete, so
catch this and avoid the error.

powerpc: Fix device-tree matching for Apple U4 bridge

2011-09-30T02:22:40+00:00

Apple Quad G5 has some oddity in it's device-tree which causes the new
generic matching code to fail to relate nodes for PCI-E devices below U4
with their respective struct pci_dev.  This breaks graphics on those
machines among others.

This fixes it using a quirk which copies the node pointer from the host
bridge for the root complex, which makes the generic code work for the
children afterward.

powerpc/pseries: Simplify vpa deregistration functions

2011-08-05T04:47:58+00:00

The VPA, SLB shadow and DTL degistration functions do not need an
address, so simplify things and remove it.

Also cleanup pseries_kexec_cpu_down a bit by storing the cpu IDs
in local variables.

powerpc/pseries: Cleanup VPA registration and deregistration errors

2011-08-05T04:47:57+00:00

Make the VPA, SLB shadow and DTL registration and deregistration
functions print consistent messages on error. I needed the firmware
error code while chasing a kexec bug but we weren't printing it.

powerpc/pseries: Fix kexec on recent firmware versions

2011-08-05T04:47:57+00:00

Recent versions of firmware will fail to unmap the virtual processor
area if we have a dispatch trace log registered. This causes kexec
to fail.

If a trace log is registered this patch unregisters it before the
SLB shadow and virtual processor areas, fixing the problem.

The address argument is ignored by firmware on unregister so we
may as well remove it.

powerpc: Make KVM_GUEST default to n

2011-08-05T04:47:57+00:00

KVM_GUEST adds a 1 MB array to the kernel (kvm_tmp) which grew
my kernel enough to cause it to fail to boot.

Dynamically allocating or reducing the size of this array is a
good idea, but in the meantime I think it makes sense to make
KVM_GUEST default to n in order to minimise surprises.

powerpc: Lack of ibm,io-events not that important!

2011-08-05T04:47:56+00:00

The ibm,io-events code is a bit verbose with its error messages.
Reverse the reporting so we only print when we successfully enable
I/O event interrupts.
