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. This patch also exports some page coalescing statistics available from firmware via lparcfg. [BenH: Moved a couple of things around to fix compile problems] Signed-off-by:

Commit b987812b left crash_kexec_wait_realmode() undefined for UP. Commit 7c7a81b5 defined it for UP but left it undefined for 32-bit SMP. Seems like people are getting confused by nested #ifdef's, so move the definitions of crash_kexec_wait_realmode() after the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP section. Compile-tested with 32-bit UP, 32-bit SMP and 64-bit SMP configurations. Signed-off-by:

Recent 64-bit server processors (POWER6 and POWER7) have a "Come-From Address Register" (CFAR), that records the address of the most recent branch or rfid (return from interrupt) instruction for debugging purposes. This saves the value of the CFAR in the exception entry code and stores it in the exception frame. We also make xmon print the CFAR value in its register dump code. Rather than extend the pt_regs struct at this time, we steal the orig_gpr3 field, which is only used for system calls, and use it for the CFAR value for all exceptions/interrupts other than system calls. This means we don't save the CFAR on system calls, which is not a great problem since system calls tend not to happen unexpectedly, and also avoids adding the overhead of reading the CFAR to the system call entry path.

When we take an interrupt or exception from kernel mode and the stack pointer is obviously not a kernel address (i.e. the top bit is 0), we switch to an emergency stack, save register values and panic. However, on 64-bit server machines, we don't actually save the values of r9 - r13 at the time of the interrupt, but rather values corrupted by the exception entry code for r12-r13, and nothing at all for r9-r11. This fixes it by passing a pointer to the register save area in the paca through to the bad_stack code in r3. The register values are saved in one of the paca register save areas (depending on which exception this is). Using the pointer in r3, the bad_stack code now retrieves the saved values of r9 - r13 and stores them in the exception frame on the emergency stack. This also stores the normal exception frame marker ("regshere") in the exception frame. Signed-off-by: -

Icswx is a PowerPC instruction to send data to a co-processor. On Book-S processors the LPAR_ID and process ID (PID) of the owning process are registered in the window context of the co-processor at initialization time. When the icswx instruction is executed the L2 generates a cop-reg transaction on PowerBus. The transaction has no address and the processor does not perform an MMU access to authenticate the transaction. The co-processor compares the LPAR_ID and the PID included in the transaction and the LPAR_ID and PID held in the window context to determine if the process is authorized to generate the transaction. The OS needs to assign a 16-bit PID for the process. This cop-PID needs to be updated during context switch. The cop-PID needs to be destroyed when the context is destroyed. Signed-off-by:

This removes MMU_FTR_TLBIE_206 as we can now use CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206. It also changes the logic to select which tlbie to use to be based on this new CPU feature bit. This also duplicates the ASM_FTR_IF/SET/CLR defines for CPU features (copied from MMU features). Signed-off-by:

Some of the 64bit PPC CPU features are MMU-related, so this patch moves them to MMU_FTR_ bits. All cpu_has_feature()-style tests are moved to mmu_has_feature(), and seven feature bits are freed as a result. Signed-off-by:

RTAS returns extended error codes as a hint of how long the OS might want to wait before retrying a call. If we have nothing else useful to do we may as well call back straight away. This was found when testing the new dynamic dma window feature. Firmware split the zeroing of the TCE table into 32k chunks but returned 9901 (which is a suggested wait of 10ms). All up this took about 10 minutes to complete since msleep is jiffies based and will round 10ms up to 20ms. With the patch below we take 3 seconds to complete the same test. The hint firmware is returning in the RTAS call should definitely be decreased, but even if we slept 1ms each iteration this would take 32s. Signed-off-by:

The calculation of the size for the exception save area of the TLB miss handler is wrong, luckily it's too big not too small. Rework it to make it a bit clearer, and also correct. We want 3 save areas, each EX_TLB_SIZE _bytes_. Signed-off-by:

We check MSR_SF a lot in sstep.c, to decide if we need to emulate the truncation of values when running in 32-bit mode. Factor out that code into a helper, and convert it and the other uses to use MSR_64BIT. This fixes a bug on BOOK3E where kprobes would end up returning to a 32-bit address, because regs->nip was truncated, because (msr & MSR_SF) was false. Signed-off-by:

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch of data streams. This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default. If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry, all children threads inherit this non default value even if the sysfs value is changed later. Signed-off-by:

When we set up the TLB for ourselves on Book3E, we need to flush out any old mappings established by the firmware or bootloader. At present we attempt this with a tlbilx to flush everything, but this will leave behind any entries with the IPROT bit set. There are several good reason firmware might establish mappings with IPROT, and in fact ePAPR compliant firmwares are required to establish their initial mapped area with IPROT. This patch, therefore adds more complex code to scan through the TLB upon entry and flush away any entries that are not our own. Signed-off-by:

In exc_lvl_ctx_init() we index into the crit/dbg/mcheck stacks using the hard cpu id, but that assumes the hard cpu id is zero based and contiguous. That is not the case on A2. The root of the problem is that the 32bit code has no equivalent of the paca to allow it to do the hard->soft mapping in assembler. Until the 32bit code is updated to handle that, index the stacks using the soft cpu ids on 64bit and hard on 32 bit. Signed-off-by:

As well as searching for nodes with type = "nvram", search for nodes that have compatible = "nvram". This can't be converted into a single call to of_find_compatible_node() with a non-NULL type, because that searches for a node that has _both_ type & compatible = "nvram". Signed-off-by:

Currently we allocate the stale_map for a cpu when it comes online, this leaves open a small window where a process can be scheduled on the cpu before the stale_map is allocated. Instead allocate the stale_map at CPU_UP_PREPARE time, that way it will be always available before tasks start running. It is possible the cpu fails to come up, in which case we should free the stale_map, so add a CPU_UP_CANCELED case to do that. Signed-off-by:

When we start a cpu we use smp_ops->kick_cpu(), which currently returns void, it should be able to fail. Convert it to return int, and update all uses. Convert all the current error cases to return -ENOENT, which is what would eventually be returned by __cpu_up() currently when it doesn't detect the cpu as coming up in time. Signed-off-by:

This is a first cut at making bootwrapper code which will produce a zImage compliant with the requirements set down by ePAPR. This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image requirements. For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will generate warnings if some of the ePAPR entry condition guarantees are not met. Signed-off-by:
