2011-08-05powerpc: Fix device tree claim codeAnton Blanchard1-3/+3
I have a box that fails in OF during boot with: DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400 at %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768 %SRR1: 800000004000b002 ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string. Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB) but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will never call alloc_up and claim more memory. Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the available address space. This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future patch. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Adds support for page coalescing, which is a feature on IBM Power servers which allows for coalescing identical pages between logical partitions. Hint text pages as coalesce candidates, since they are the most likely pages to be able to be coalesced between partitions.

Currently we look pretty stupid when printing out a bunch of things in prom_init.c. eg. Max number of cores passed to firmware: 0x0000000000000080 So I've change this to print in decimal: Max number of cores passed to firmware: 128 (NR_CPUS = 256) This required adding a prom_print_dec() function and changing some prom_printk() calls from %x to %lu.

2010-07-08powerpc: Linux cannot run with 0 coresAnton Blanchard1-1/+1
If we configure with CONFIG_SMP=n or set NR_CPUS less than the number of SMT threads we will set the max cores property to 0 in the ibm,client-architecture-support structure. On new versions of firmware that understand this property it obliges and terminates our partition. Use DIV_ROUND_UP so we handle not only the CONFIG_SMP=n case but also the case where NR_CPUS isn't a multiple of the number of SMT threads.

2010-04-28powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinityAnton Blanchard1-1/+2
Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7. Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we need to use the new form 1 affinity information. We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points array. If not we use the second field as we always have. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-04powerpc/pseries: Pass more accurate number of supported cores to firmwareBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-1/+63
Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp. The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS). However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with. This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust the value passed to firmware.

This patch adds 2 fields to the ibm_architecture_vec array. The first of these fields indicates the number of cores which Linux can boot. It does not account for SMT, so it may result in cpus assigned to Linux which cannot be booted. A second patch follows that dynamically updates this for SMT. The second field just indicates that our OS is Linux, and not another OS. The system may or may not use this hint to performance tune settings for Linux.

2008-10-10powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA notePaul Mackerras1-5/+5
Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from 12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage. (The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me" flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note (at least on most pSeries machines). To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities(). So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec. However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from it and transfers it to the zImage.

2008-09-15powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executablePaul Mackerras1-4/+7
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-09-15powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernelPaul Mackerras1-7/+1
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

Fedora 9 works on Efika without the separate 'device-tree supplement', thanks to the kernel's own fixups. With one exception -- because 'CHRP' still appears on the 'machine:' line in /proc/cpuinfo, the installer misdetects the platform and misconfigures yaboot, putting it into a PReP boot partition instead of in the /boot filesystem where the Efika's firmware could find it. The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in the 'device_type' property.

2008-01-26[POWERPC] Efika: prune fixups and make them more carefullGrant Likely1-70/+79
Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required to get a working system. Most of the drivers can accept the compatible properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic names recommended practice document. This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly. Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before making any changes. This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied. At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika: 1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't boot. Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition 2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node. In actual fact, the bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't expose the same granularity as the device driver expects. All other 5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm channel. Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up 3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property 4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the device driver doesn't know what to do without one.

A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it (via the HMC). This enables that to work properly on P6. This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE. The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodesPaul Mackerras1-1/+1
For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an alternative, more compact representation for the information about the memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation. The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory representation we request is different from the representation that firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines. We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the ibm,client-architecture-support call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

A value of 0x0f000001 indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various extensions disabled.

This patch adds full cell iommu support (and iommu disabled mode). It implements mapping/unmapping of iommu pages on demand using the standard powerpc iommu framework. It also supports running with iommu disabled for machines with less than 2GB of memory. (The default is off in that case, though it can be forced on with the kernel command line option iommu=force).

2006-07-26[POWERPC] Workaround Pegasos incorrect ISA "ranges"Benjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+34
The Pegasos firmware doesn't create a valid "ranges" property for the ISA bridge, thus causing translation of ISA addresses and IO ports to fail. This fixes it, thus re-enabling proper early serial console to work on Pegasos. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-07-07[POWERPC] Add briq support to CHRPBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-2/+8
The support for Briq machines has been floating around as patches for ages. This cleans it up and adds it once for all. Some of this is based on initial code provided by Karsten Jeppesen <karsten@jeppesens.com> and mostly rewritten from scratch by me.
