      powerpc/powernv: Properly drop characters if console is closed · 1de1455f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware
      error), we should drop characters.
      
      Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2
      APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(),
      which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work).
      
      However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating
      that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors
      or closed console, to spin forever.

      powerpc/pnv: Fix "compatible" property for P8 PHB · f3d40c25
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      The property should be "ibm,power8-pciex", not "ibm,p8-pciex". The latter
      was changed in FW because it was inconsistent with the rest of the nodes.

      powerpc/pci: Don't add bogus empty resources to PHBs · a0b8e76f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      When converting to use the new pci_add_resource_offset() we didn't
      properly account for empty resources (0 flags) and add those bogons
      to the PHBs. The result is some annoying messages in the log.

      powerpc/pseries: Perform proper max_bus_speed detection · d82fb31a
      Kleber Sacilotto de Souza authored
      On pseries machines the detection for max_bus_speed should be done
      through an OpenFirmware property. This patch adds a function to perform
      this detection and a hook to perform dynamic adding of the function only
      for pseries. This is done by overwriting the weak
      pcibios_root_bridge_prepare function which is called by
      pci_create_root_bus().

      Jeremy Kerr authored
      Currently, the OPAL exception vectors are registered before the feature
      fixups are processed. This means that the now-firmware-owned vectors
      will likely be overwritten by the kernel.
      
      This change moves the exception registration code to an early initcall,
      rather than at machine_init time.

      powerpc: Emulate non privileged DSCR read and write · 73d2fb75
      Anton Blanchard authored
      POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added
      kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions
      regardless of the CPU type.
      
      Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added
      emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non
      privileged one.
      
      A simple test was created to verify the fix:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c
      
      Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
       "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
        kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
        or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
      
        This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
        idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
        reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
      
        This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
        the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
        that:
      
         - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
           to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power.  A periodic timer tick at
           HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%.  This feature
           removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
           typical distro configs even on modern systems.
      
         - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
           should experience as little jitter as possible.  The last remaining
           source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
      
         - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
           especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
           helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
      
        The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
        reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
        slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
      
        Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
        two NOHZ kconfig modes:
      
         - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
           as a config option.  This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
           design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
           whether a CPU is idle or not.
      
         - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
           periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
      
         - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
           tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
           timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
           CPU.
      
        The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
        CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
        user having to configure anything.  CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
        default.
      
        This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
        steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
        and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
      
        This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature.  The pull
        request is marked RFC because:
      
         - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
           small but did not get ready in time.
      
         - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
           window.  The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
           merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
           marked it RFC.
      
         - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
           while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
           combination is still not very widely used.  That it's default-off
           should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
           known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
      
         - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
           equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick.  In
           particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
           on scheduler load-balancing and statistics.  This should not impact
           correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
           feature at this point.
      
         - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
           enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
           its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
           Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
      
        Future plans:
      
         - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
           the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
           CPU.  We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
           for the 0 Hz target though.
      
         - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
           nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
           as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
           once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
      
        I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
        v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
        but the final word is up to you as usual.
