2011-11-25powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flashRavi K. Nittala3-0/+19
The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan() also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire the spin_lock before issuing the request. The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup. Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan() work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.

2011-11-25powerpc/book3e: Add Chroma as a new WSP/PowerEN platform.Jimi Xenidis8-52/+651
This patch add the Chroma platform to WSP/PowerEN, which is a PCIe card (a defconfig is included). The card includes an H8 service processor that is used to manage the card. The H8 is connected over the second serial UART on the PowerEN chip so this patch includes a simple 16550 driver to enable communication, mostly for "power off" and "rebooting". This patch also includes a, WSP specific, "halt" method that will shut of all A2 cores but still leave power on at the chip level. This is desirable, especially if you wish to interrogate the chip with a hardware probe after the halt.

2011-11-25powerpc/icswx: Simple ACOP fault handlerJimi Xenidis4-1/+165
This patch adds a fault handler that responds to illegal Coprocessor types. Currently all CTs are treated and illegal. There are two ways to report the fault back to the application. If the application used the record form ("icswx.") then the architected "reject" is emulated. If the application did not used the record form ("icswx") then it is selectable by config whether the failure is silent (as architected) or a SIGILL is generated. In all cases pr_warn() is used to log the bad CT. Signed-off-by: Jimi Xenidis <jimix@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2011-11-25powerpc/pseries: Software invalidatation of TCEsMilton Miller2-8/+61
Some pseries IOMMUs cache TCEs but don't snoop when the TCEs are changed in memory, hence we need manually invalidate in software. This adds code to do the invalidate. It keys off a device tree property to say where the to do the MMIO for the invalidate and some information on what the format of the invalidate including some magic routing info. it_busno get overloaded with this magic routing info and it_index with the MMIO address for the invalidate command. This then gets hooked into the building and freeing of TCEs. This is only useful on bare metal pseries. pHyp takes care of this when virtualised. Based on patch from Milton with cleanups from Mikey.

2011-11-25powerpc/time: Optimise decrementer_check_overflowAnton Blanchard3-21/+17
decrementer_check_overflow is called from arch_local_irq_restore so we want to make it as light weight as possible. As such, turn decrementer_check_overflow into an inline function.

2011-11-25powerpc/time: Handle wrapping of decrementerAnton Blanchard3-9/+17
When re-enabling interrupts we have code to handle edge sensitive decrementers by resetting the decrementer to 1 whenever it is negative. If interrupts were disabled long enough that the decrementer wrapped to positive we do nothing. This means interrupts can be delayed for a long time until it finally goes negative again. While we hope interrupts are never be disabled long enough for the decrementer to go positive, we have a very good test team that can drive any kernel into the ground. The softlockup data we get back from these fails could be seconds in the future, completely missing the cause of the lockup. We already keep track of the timebase of the next event so use that to work out if we should trigger a decrementer exception.

2011-11-20KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclockAvi Kivity1-2/+3
Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion.

2011-11-17powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semanticsBenjamin Herrenschmidt4-35/+40
The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before and after the actual atomic operation. Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically, while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still hold the old value). This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7 This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers, which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync. I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to find a more precise benchmark) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled. In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore. Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14. To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new binutils, the test is simply removed.

With the introduction of CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS user space debug is broken on Book-E 64-bit parts that support delayed debug events. When switch_booke_debug_regs() sets DBCR0 we'll start getting debug events as MSR_DE is also set and we aren't able to handle debug events from kernel space. We can remove the hack that always enables MSR_DE and loads up DBCR0 and just utilize switch_booke_debug_regs() to get user space debug working again. We still need to handle critical/debug exception stacks & proper save/restore of state for those exception levles to support debug events from kernel space like we have on 32-bit.

2011-11-17powerpc: Remove extraneous CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS defineKumar Gala1-2/+0
All of DebugException is already protected by CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS there is no need to have another such ifdef inside the function. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-11-17powerpc: Revert show_regs() define for readabilityKumar Gala1-1/+1
We had an existing ifdef for 4xx & BOOKE processors that got changed to CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS. The define has nothing to do with CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS. The define really should be: #if defined(CONFIG_4xx) || defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) and not #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

PVHVM running with more than 32 vcpus and pv_irq/pv_time enabled need VCPU placement to work, or else it will softlockup.

2011-11-16xen: map foreign pages for shared rings by updating the PTEs directlyDavid Vrabel1-1/+1
When mapping a foreign page with xenbus_map_ring_valloc() with the GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref hypercall, set the GNTMAP_contains_pte flag and pass a pointer to the PTE (in init_mm). After the page is mapped, the usual fault mechanism can be used to update additional MMs. This allows the vmalloc_sync_all() to be removed from alloc_vm_area().
