      powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdown · 1fc711f7
      Michael Neuling authored 
      In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to
kexec_smp_down().  kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets
the hw_cpu_id() to -1.  The primary does this while leaving IRQs on
which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to
the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance)
but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU
-1... Kaboom!

We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines.

There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU
mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode.

Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before
guaranteeing that no more will be received.

This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the
primary CPU much earlier.  It adds a paca flag to say that the
secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs,
rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1.  This new paca flag is
again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode.

It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out
any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no
trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

      powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down · d504bed6
      Michael Neuling authored 
      Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.

This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL.  For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.

This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB
machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

      powerpc/pseries: Add hcall to read 4 ptes at a time in real mode · f90ece28
      Michael Neuling authored 
      This adds plpar_pte_read_4_raw() which can be used read 4 PTEs from
PHYP at a time, while in real mode.

It also creates a new hcall9 which can be used in real mode.  It's the
same as plpar_hcall9 but minus the tracing hcall statistics which may
require variables outside the RMO.

      powerpc: Use more accurate limit for first segment memory allocations · 095c7965
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      Author: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com>

On large machines we are running out of room below 256MB. In some cases we
only need to ensure the allocation is in the first segment, which may be
256MB or 1TB.

Add slb0_limit and use it to specify the upper limit for the irqstack and
emergency stacks.

On a large ppc64 box, this fixes a panic at boot when the crashkernel=
option is specified (previously we would run out of memory below 256MB).

      powerpc/kdump: Use chip->shutdown to disable IRQs · 5d7a8721
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      I saw this in a kdump kernel:

IOMMU table initialized, virtual merging enabled
Interrupt 155954 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
Interrupt 155953 (real) is invalid, disabling it.

ie we took some spurious interrupts. default_machine_crash_shutdown tries
to disable all interrupt sources but uses chip->disable which maps to
the default action of:

static void default_disable(unsigned int irq)
{
}

If we use chip->shutdown, then we actually mask the IRQ:

static void default_shutdown(unsigned int irq)
{
        struct irq_desc *desc = irq_to_desc(irq);

        desc->chip->mask(irq);
        desc->status |= IRQ_MASKED;
}

Not sure why we don't implement a ->disable action for xics.c, or why
default_disable doesn't mask the interrupt.

      powerpc/kdump: CPUs assume the context of the oopsing CPU · 06440794
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      We wrap the crash_shutdown_handles[] calls with longjmp/setjmp, so if any
of them fault we can recover. The problem is we add a hook to the debugger
fault handler hook which calls longjmp unconditionally.

This first part of kdump is run before we marshall the other CPUs, so there
is a very good chance some CPU on the box is going to page fault. And when
it does it hits the longjmp code and assumes the context of the oopsing CPU.
The machine gets very confused when it has 10 CPUs all with the same stack,
all thinking they have the same CPU id. I get even more confused trying
to debug it.

The patch below adds crash_shutdown_cpu and uses it to specify which cpu is
in the protected region. Since it can only be -1 or the oopsing CPU, we don't
need to use memory barriers since it is only valid on the local CPU - no other
CPU will ever see a value that matches it's local CPU id.

Eventually we should switch the order and marshall all CPUs before doing the
crash_shutdown_handles[] calls, but that is a bigger fix.

We called rtas_set_slot_reset while scanning the bus and before the pci_dn
to pcidev mapping has been created. Since we only need the pcidev to work
out the type of reset and that only gets set after the module for the
device loads, lets just do a hot reset if the pcidev is NULL.

      powerpc/pci: Check devices status property when scanning OF tree · 5b339bdf
      Sonny Rao authored 
      We ran into an issue where it looks like we're not properly ignoring a
pci device with a non-good status property when we walk the device tree
and instanciate the Linux side PCI devices.

However, the EEH init code does look for the property and disables EEH
on these devices. This leaves us in an inconsistent where we are poking
at a supposedly bad piece of hardware and RTAS will block our config
cycles because EEH isn't enabled anyway.

      powerpc: Avoid bad relocations in iSeries code · e62cee42
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Subrata Modak reported that building a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE kernel with
CONFIG_ISERIES enabled gives the following warnings:

WARNING: 4 bad relocations
c00000000007216e R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHEST  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c000000000072172 R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHER  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c00000000007217a R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c00000000007217e R_PPC64_ADDR16_LO  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8

The reason is that decrementer_iSeries_masked is using
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of a kernel symbol, which
creates relocations that aren't handled by the kernel relocator code.

Instead of reading the tb_ticks_per_jiffy variable, we can just set
the decrementer to its maximum value (0x7fffffff) and that will work
just as well.  In fact timer_interrupt sets the decrementer to that
value initially anyway, and we are sure to get into timer_interrupt
once interrupts are reenabled because we store 1 to the decrementer
interrupt flag in the lppaca (LPPACADECRINT(r12) here).

      powerpc: Use common cpu_die (fixes SMP+SUSPEND build) · abb17f9c
      Milton Miller authored 
      Configuring a powerpc 32 bit kernel for both SMP and SUSPEND turns on
CPU_HOTPLUG to enable disable_nonboot_cpus to be called by the common
suspend code.  Previously the definition of cpu_die for ppc32 was in
the powermac platform code, causing it to be undefined if that platform
as not selected.

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function 'cpu_idle':
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c:98: undefined reference to 'cpu_die'

Move the code from setup_64 to smp.c and rename the power mac
versions to their specific names.

Note that this does not setup the cpu_die pointers in either
smp_ops (request a given cpu die) or ppc_md (make this cpu die),
for other platforms but there are generic versions in smp.c.

      powerpc/rtasd: Don't start event scan if scan rate is zero · 7358650e
      Michael Ellerman authored 
      There appear to be Pegasos systems which have the rtas-event-scan
RTAS tokens, but on which the event scan always fails. They also
have an event-scan-rate property containing 0, which means call
event scan 0 times per minute.

So interpret a scan rate of 0 to mean don't scan at all. This fixes
the problem on the Pegasos machines and makes sense as well.
