We only need two examples of CAMP device trees in the upstream kernel.
Co-operative Asymmetric Multi-Processing (CAMP) is a technique where two
or more operating systems (typically multiple copies of the same Linux
kernel) are loaded into memory, and each kernel is given a subset of the
available cores to execute on. For example, on a four-core system, one
kernel runs on cores 0 and 1, and the other runs on cores 2 and 3.
The devices are also partitioned among the operating systems, and this is
done with customized device trees. Each kernel gets its own device tree
that has only the devices that it should know about.
Unfortunately, this approach is very hackish. The kernels are trusted to
only access devices in their respective device trees, and the partitioning
only works for devices that can be handled. Crafting the device trees is a
tricky process, and getting U-Boot to load and start all kernels is
cumbersome.
But most importantly, each CAMP setup is very application-specific, since
the actual partitioning of resources is done in the DTS by the system
designer. Therefore, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a lot of CAMP
device trees, since we only expect them to be used as examples.

sys_subpage_prot() takes an unsigned long for 'addr' then does some stuff
with it and the result is stored in a signed int, i, which is eventually
used as the size parameter in a copy_from_user call. Update 'i' to be an
unsigned long as well and since 'nw' is used in a size_t context which,
depending on whether this is 32- or 64-bit may be unsigned int or unsigned
long, switch that to a size_t and always be right.
Finally, since we're in the neighbourhood, make the same changes to
subpage_prot_clear().

The idea comes from Benjamin Herrenschmidt. The eeh cache helps
fetching the pci device according to the given I/O address. Since
the eeh cache is serving for eeh, it's reasonable for eeh cache
to trace eeh device except pci device.
The patch make eeh cache to trace eeh device. Also, the major
eeh entry function eeh_dn_check_failure has been renamed to
eeh_dev_check_failure since it will take eeh device as input
parameter.

While EEH module is installed, PCI devices is checked one by one
to see if it supports eeh. On different platforms, the PCI devices
are referred through different ways when the EEH module is loaded.
For example, on pSeries platform, that is done by OF node. However,
we would do that by real PCI devices (struct pci_dev) on PowerNV
platform in future. So we needs some mechanism to differentiate
those cases by classifying them to probe modes, either from OF
nodes or real PCI devices.
The patch implements the support to eeh probe mode. Also, the
EEH on pSeries has set it into EEH_PROBE_MODE_DEVTREE. That means
the probe will be done based on OF nodes on pSeries platform.
In addition, On pSeries platform, it's done by OF nodes. The patch
moves the the probe function from EEH core to platform dependent
backend and some cleanup applied.

There're 2 conditions to trigger EEH error detection: invalid value
returned from reading I/O or config space. On each case, the function
eeh_dn_check_failure will be called to initialize EEH event and put
it into the poll for further processing.
The patch changes the function for a little bit so that the EEH error
will be traced based on PE instead of EEH device any more. Also, the
function eeh_find_device_pe() has been removed since the eeh device
is tracing the PE by struct eeh_dev::pe.

As defined in PAPR 2.4, Partitionable Endpoint (PE) is an I/O subtree
that can be treated as a unit for the purposes of partitioning and error
recovery. Therefore, eeh core should be aware of PE. With eeh_pe struct,
we can support PE explicitly. Further more, it makes all the stuff much
more data centralized. Another important reason is for eeh core to support
multiple platforms. Some of them like pSeries figures out PEs through
OF nodes while others like powernv have to do that through PCI bus/device
tree. With explicit PE support, eeh core will be implemented based on
the centrialized data and platform dependent implementations figure it
out by their feasible ways.
When the struct is designed, following factors are taken in account:
* Reflecting the relationships of PEs. PE might have parent
as well children.
* Reflecting the association of PE and (eeh) devices.
* PEs have PHB boundary.
* PE should have unique address assigned in the corresponding
PHB domain.

Currently, we have 3 phases for EEH initialization on pSeries platform.
All of them are done through builtin functions: platform initialization,
EEH device creation, and EEH subsystem enablement. All of them are done
no later than ppc_md.setup_arch. That means that the slab/slub isn't ready
yet, so we have to allocate memory chunks on basis of PAGE_SIZE for those
dynamically created EEH devices. That's pretty expensive.
In order to utilize slab/slub for memory allocation, we have to move the EEH
initialization functions around, but all of them should be called after slab
is ready.

The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem='
kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in
kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On
powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related
information, unlike /proc/iomem on the x86.
Without this information, the kexec-tools assumes the entire System
RAM and vmcore creates an unnecessarily larger dump.
This patch exports the memory limit, if present, via
chosen/linux,memory-limit
property, so that the vmcore can be limited to the memory limit.
The prom_init seems to export this value in the same node. But doesn't
really
appear there. Also the memory_limit gets adjusted with the processing of
crashkernel= parameter. This patch makes sure we get the actual limit.
The kexec-tools will use the value to limit the 'end' of the memory
regions.

There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t.
The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT.
Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency.
This patch does the change only for memory_limit.
The following is a list of such variables which need the change:
1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c
2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static
variable from machine_kexec.c.
Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will
fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change
the above.

Starting with Power 7+ we need to check for marked events if the SIAR
register is valid, i.e. it contains the correct address of the instruction
at the time the performance counter overflowed. The mmcra register on
Power 7+, contains a new bit to indicate that the contents of the SIAR
is valid. If the event is not marked, then the sample is recorded
independently of the SIAR valid bit setting. For older processors, there
is no SIAR valid bit to check so the samples are always recorded. This is
done by forcing the cntr_marked_events bit mask to zero. The code will
always record the sample in this case since the bit mask says the event is
not a marked event even if it really is a marked event.

When PCI probe flag PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC has been passed into PCI
core, it's hoped that all resources to be reassigned by PCI core.
As to particular P2P (PCI-to-PCI) bridge, the size of the corresponding
BAR (I/O, MMIO, prefetchable MMIO) is calculated by the resources
required by the PCI devices behind the P2P bridge. That means that
the information like start/end address retrieved from the hardware
registers of the P2P bridge is meainingless in the case. However,
we still count that in and the BARs might have been configured by
firmware with non-zero size. That leads to space waste.
The patch explicitly sets the size of P2P bridge BARs to zero in
case that resource reassignment is expected with PCI probe flag
PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC. In the result, it will save overall resource
required by the system without waste.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.
If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
when idle, as before.
