2008-09-30powerpc: Fix failure to shutdown with CPU hotplugJohannes Berg1-5/+1
I tracked down the shutdown regression to CPUs not dying when being shut down during power-off. This turns out to be due to the system_state being SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, which this code doesn't take as a valid state for shutting off CPUs in. This has never made sense to me, but when I added hotplug code to implement hibernate I only "made it work" and did not question the need to check the system_state. Thomas Gleixner helped me dig, but the only thing we found is that it was added with the original commit that added CPU hotplug support.

2008-09-26kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel1-3/+2
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2008-09-17Fix compile failure with non modular buildsJames Bottomley1-19/+0
Commit deac93df26b20cf8438339b5935b5f5643bc30c9 ("lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures") broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline. To do this, the definition of struct ppc64_opd_entry has been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where it belongs.

2008-09-09lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architecturesJames Bottomley1-1/+12
It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

The calculation to get TI_CPU based off of SPRG3 was just plain wrong, meaning that we were getting garbage for the CPU number on 6xx/G3/G4 based SMP boxes in this code.

2008-09-03powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bugTony Breeds1-3/+4
This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.

2008-08-20powerpc: Fix vio_bus_probe oops on probe errorBrian King1-1/+1
When CMO is enabled and booted on a non CMO system and the VIO device's probe function fails, an oops can result since vio_cmo_bus_remove is called when it should not. This fixes it by avoiding the vio_cmo_bus_remove call on platforms that don't implement CMO. cpu 0x0: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c00000000e13b3d0] pc: c000000000020d34: .vio_cmo_bus_remove+0xc0/0x1f4 lr: c000000000020ca4: .vio_cmo_bus_remove+0x30/0x1f4 sp: c00000000e13b650 msr: 8000000000009032 dar: 0 dsisr: 40000000 current = 0xc00000000e0566c0 paca = 0xc0000000006f9b80 pid = 2428, comm = modprobe enter ? for help [c00000000e13b6e0] c000000000021d94 .vio_bus_probe+0x2f8/0x33c [c00000000e13b7a0] c00000000029fc88 .driver_probe_device+0x13c/0x200 [c00000000e13b830] c00000000029fdac .__driver_attach+0x60/0xa4 [c00000000e13b8c0] c00000000029f050 .bus_for_each_dev+0x80/0xd8 [c00000000e13b980] c00000000029f9ec .driver_attach+0x28/0x40 [c00000000e13ba00] c00000000029f630 .bus_add_driver+0xd4/0x284 [c00000000e13baa0] c0000000002a01bc .driver_register+0xc4/0x198 [c00000000e13bb50] c00000000002168c .vio_register_driver+0x40/0x5c [c00000000e13bbe0] d0000000003b3f1c .ibmvfc_module_init+0x70/0x109c [ibmvfc] [c00000000e13bc70] c0000000000acf08 .sys_init_module+0x184c/0x1a10 [c00000000e13be30] c000000000008748 syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 Signed-off-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Recent of_platform changes made of_bus_type_init() overwrite the bus type's .dev_attrs list, meaning that the "name" attribute that ibmebus devices previously had is no longer present. This is a user-visible regression which breaks the userspace eHCA support, since the eHCA userspace driver relies on the name attribute to check for valid adapters.

The intent of "flush_tlbs" is to invalidate all TLB entries by doing a TLB invalidate instruction for all pages in the address range 0 to 0x00400000. A loop counter is set up at the high value and decremented by page size. However, the loop is only done once as the sense of the conditional branch at the loop end does not match the setup/decrement.

2008-08-11powerpc/pci: Don't keep ISA memory hole resources in the treeBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-5/+12
When we have an ISA memory hole (ie, a PCI window that allows us to generate PCI memory cycles at low PCI address) mixed with other resources using a different CPU <=> PCI mapping, we must not keep the ISA hole in the bridge resource list. If we do, things might start trying to allocate device resources in there and will get the PCI addresses wrong. This fixes it by arranging to remove the ISA memory hole resource in this case.

2008-08-11powerpc: Zero fill the return values of rtas argument bufferNathan Fontenot1-2/+3
The kernel copy of the rtas args struct contains the return value(s) for the specified rtas call. These are copied back to user space with the assumption that every value has been set by the rtas call, which turns out to be not always true. Thus userspace can see random values and think the call failed when in fact it succeeded, but for some reason didn't set one of the return values. This fixes the problem by zeroing out the return value fields of the rtas args struct before processing the rtas call.

2008-07-30powerpc: Allow non-hcall return values for lparcfg writesNathan Fontenot1-4/+0
The code to handle writes to /proc/ppc64/lparcfg incorrectly assumes that the return code from the helper routines to update processor or memory entitlement return a hcall return value. It then assumes any non-hcall return value is bad and sets the return code for the write to be -EIO. The update_[mp]pp routines can return values other than a hcall return value.

2008-07-28powerpc: Show processor cache information in sysfsNathan Lynch1-0/+309
Collect cache information from the OF device tree and display it in the cpu hierarchy in sysfs. This is intended to be compatible at the userspace level with x86's implementation[1], hence some of the funny attribute names. The arrangement of cache info is not immediately intuitive, but (again) it's for compatibility's sake. The cache attributes exposed are: type (Data, Instruction, or Unified) level (1, 2, 3...) size coherency_line_size number_of_sets ways_of_associativity All of these can be derived on platforms that follow the OF PowerPC Processor binding. The code "publishes" only those attributes for which it is able to determine values; attributes for values which cannot be determined are not created at all.

2008-07-26kexec jumpHuang Ying1-1/+1
This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

2008-07-25kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S1-4/+2
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

2008-07-25powerpc/pseries: Remove kmalloc call in handling writes to lparcfgNathan Fontenot1-16/+12
There are only 4 valid name=value pairs for writes to /proc/ppc64/lparcfg. Current code allocates a buffer to copy this information in from the user. Since the longest name=value pair will easily fit into a buffer of 64 characters, simply put the buffer on the stack instead of allocating the buffer.

2008-07-25powerpc/pseries: vio bus support for CMORobert Jennings1-6/+1027
This is a large patch but the normal code path is not affected. For non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path. Devices that do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch. The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for clarity. Overview Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of partitions. The firmware will balance memory between the partitions and page in/out memory as needed. Based on the number and type of IO adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition; this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'. Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices present. The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system. Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus code and exposed via sysfs. A set of dma_ops functions are added to the bus to allow for this accounting. Bus initialization At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events. If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted. Device changes The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained IO memory. The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully. Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always be mapped. Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this. Devices can change their desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs (via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time. VIO bus changes The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which it can provide memory to the devices. The bus defines two pools of memory within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools. Each device is provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's desired entitlement. The entitlement provided to devices comes from the reserve pool. The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device hotplug events. Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a reserve pool is placed in the excess pool. Each device is guaranteed that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool. Bus probe As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only to the system defined minimum entitlement. The reserve pool is equal to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation. The VIO bus also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices. If the system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool, when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation will be scheduled for some time in the future. Entitlement balancing The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's desired amount of entitlement. Devices using more than what would be ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly unmapped memory. A fair distribution of entitlement can take several balance operations to achieve. Entitlement changes and device DLPAR events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations. Hotplug events The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via 'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'. When devices are added the hotplug device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this is reversed when devices are removed. The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO: * add IO memory accounting per device structure. * add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure. * during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has memory entitlement query function defined. Fail if function not defined. * fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined. * create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached. Entitlement will limited by overall system entitlement. Devices will have a reserved quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available. * expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs * provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable * track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device. * check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add * track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage) * provide function to reset high water mark * provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level * provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement * balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs * handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug Signed-off-by: Robert Jennings <rcj@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2008-07-25powerpc/pseries: iommu enablement for CMORobert Jennings1-5/+23
To support Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO), we need to check for failure from some of the tce hcalls. These changes for the pseries platform affect the powerpc architecture; patches for the other affected platforms are included in this patch. pSeries platform IOMMU code changes: * platform TCE functions must handle H_NOT_ENOUGH_RESOURCES errors and return an error. Architecture IOMMU code changes: * Calls to ppc_md.tce_build need to check return values and return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR for transient errors. Architecture changes: * struct machdep_calls for tce_build*_pSeriesLP functions need to change to indicate failure. * all other platforms will need updates to iommu functions to match the new calling semantics; they will return 0 on success. The other platforms default configs have been built, but no further testing was performed.
