kmsg - kmsg_dump() use iterator to receive log buffer content

2012-06-15T21:53:59Z

Provide an iterator to receive the log buffer content, and convert all kmsg_dump() users to it. The structured data in the kmsg buffer now contains binary data, which should no longer be copied verbatim to the kmsg_dump() users. The iterator should provide reliable access to the buffer data, and also supports proper log line-aware chunking of data while iterating.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt: "Here are the powerpc goodies for 3.5. Main highlights are: - Support for the NX crypto engine in Power7+ - A bunch of Anton goodness, including some micro optimization of our syscall entry on Power7 - I converted a pile of our thermal control drivers to the new i2c APIs (essentially turning the old therm_pm72 into a proper set of windfarm drivers). That's one more step toward removing the deprecated i2c APIs, there's still a few drivers to fix, but we are getting close - kexec/kdump support for 47x embedded cores The big missing thing here is no updates from Freescale. Not sure what's up here, but with Kumar not working for them anymore things are a bit in a state of flux in that area." * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (71 commits) powerpc: Fix irq distribution Revert "powerpc/hw-breakpoint: Use generic hw-breakpoint interfaces for new PPC ptrace flags" powerpc: Fixing a cputhread code documentation powerpc/crypto: Enable the PFO-based encryption device powerpc/crypto: Build files for the nx device driver powerpc/crypto: debugfs routines and docs for the nx device driver powerpc/crypto: SHA512 hash routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: SHA256 hash routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-XCBC mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-GCM mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-ECB mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-CTR mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-CCM mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: AES-CBC mode routines for nx encryption powerpc/crypto: nx driver code supporting nx encryption powerpc/pseries: Enable the PFO-based RNG accelerator powerpc/pseries/hwrng: PFO-based hwrng driver powerpc/pseries: Add PFO support to the VIO bus powerpc/pseries: Add pseries update notifier for OFDT prop changes powerpc/pseries: Add new hvcall constants to support PFO ...

powerpc/pseries: Add pseries update notifier for OFDT prop changes

2012-05-14T00:49:06Z

This adds an update notifier mechanism for changes to properties in the device tree. One use of this would be a device driver that needs to act on changes to it's properties in the device tree after a live migration or a dynamic activation that is triggered by updates to ofdt properties.

powerpc: Use WARN instead of dump_stack when printing EEH error backtrace

2012-04-30T05:37:27Z

When we get an EEH error we just print a backtrace with dump_stack which is rather cryptic. We really should print something before spewing out the backtrace. Also switch from dump_stack to WARN so we get more information about the fail - what modules were loaded, what process was running etc. This was useful information when debugging a recent EEH subsystem bug. The standard WARN output should also get picked up by monitoring tools like kerneloops. The register dump is of questionable value here but I figured it was better to use something standard and not roll my own. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Clean up lppaca->cede_latency_hint

2012-04-30T05:37:15Z

We have a union containing fields from the old iseries hypervisor that has been reused for the cede latency hint. Since we no longer support iseries, remove the union completely. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/pseries: Rivet CONFIG_EEH for pSeries platform

2012-04-30T00:45:26Z

Recently, Ryan Wang tried to compile PPC pSeries platform without CONFIG_EEH and eventually run into errors. Nishanth Aravamudan helped to narrow down the root cause. Actually, the pSeries platform depends on CONFIG_EEH heavily and that won't work properly without EEH support. According to Ben's suggestion, the patch make CONFIG_EEH invisible and keep it as always selected on pSeries platform. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/eeh: Fix crash caused by null eeh_dev

2012-04-23T01:04:28Z

The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility "errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually, I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v" command. The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the PCI device will be probed again and added into the system accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed and not added again. The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.
