      powerpc/numa: Use form 1 affinity to setup node distance · 41eab6f8
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      Form 1 affinity allows multiple entries in ibm,associativity-reference-points
which represent affinity domains in decreasing order of importance. The
Linux concept of a node is always the first entry, but using the other
values as an input to node_distance() allows the memory allocator to make
better decisions on which node to go first when local memory has been
exhausted.

We keep things simple and create an array indexed by NUMA node, capped at
4 entries. Each time we lookup an associativity property we initialise
the array which is overkill, but since we should only hit this path during
boot it didn't seem worth adding a per node valid bit.

      Currently the irqs for the i8042, which historically provides keyboard and
mouse (aux) support, is hardwired in the driver rather than parsing the

      powerpc/pseries: Add WARN_ON() to request_event_sources_irqs() on irq allocation/request failure · 68581e93
      Mark Nelson authored 
      At the moment if request_event_sources_irqs() can't allocate or request
the interrupt, it just does a KERN_ERR printk. This may be fine for the
existing RAS code where if we miss an EPOW event it just means that the
event won't be logged and if we miss one of the RAS errors then we could
miss an event that we perhaps should take action on.

But, for the upcoming IO events code that will use event-sources if we
can't allocate or request the interrupt it means we'd potentially miss
an interrupt from the device. So, let's add a WARN_ON() in this error
case so that we're a bit more vocal when something's amiss.

While we're at it, also use pr_err() to neaten the code up a bit.

      The RAS code has a #define, RAS_VECTOR_OFFSET, that's used in the

      powerpc: Optimise per cpu accesses on 64bit · ae01f84b
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      Now we dynamically allocate the paca array, it takes an extra load
whenever we want to access another cpu's paca. One place we do that a lot
is per cpu variables. A simple example:

DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, vara);
unsigned long test4(int cpu)
{
	return per_cpu(vara, cpu);
}

This takes 4 loads, 5 if you include the actual load of the per cpu variable:

    ld r11,-32760(r30)  # load address of paca pointer
    ld r9,-32768(r30)   # load link address of percpu variable
    sldi r3,r29,9       # get offset into paca (each entry is 512 bytes)
    ld r0,0(r11)        # load paca pointer
    add r3,r0,r3        # paca + offset
    ld r11,64(r3)       # load paca[cpu].data_offset

    ldx r3,r9,r11       # load per cpu variable

If we remove the ppc64 specific per_cpu_offset(), we get the generic one
which indexes into a statically allocated array. This removes one load and
one add:

    ld r11,-32760(r30)  # load address of __per_cpu_offset
    ld r9,-32768(r30)   # load link address of percpu variable
    sldi r3,r29,3       # get offset into __per_cpu_offset (each entry 8 bytes)
    ldx r11,r11,r3      # load __per_cpu_offset[cpu]

    ldx r3,r9,r11       # load per cpu variable

Having all the offsets in one array also helps when iterating over a per cpu
variable across a number of cpus, such as in the scheduler. Before we would
need to load one paca cacheline when calculating each per cpu offset. Now we
have 16 (128 / sizeof(long)) per cpu offsets in each cacheline.

      hvc_console: use "*_console" nomenclature to avoid modpost warning. · 4455b119
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      The use of "hvc_con_driver" as the name for a file-static "struct
console" with a ".setup" field pointing to an __init function causes
a modpost warning, since a non-initdata structure points to init code.
Using "hvc_console" as the name triggers the hacky "*_console"
workaround in modpost to silence the warning, and is the same thing
that most of the other console drivers already do.

I made the same change in hvsi.c since I happened to notice it was
likely to suffer from the same problem.

      powerpc: Clean up obsolete code relating to decrementer and timebase · c1aa687d
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Since the decrementer and timekeeping code was moved over to using
the generic clockevents and timekeeping infrastructure, several
variables and functions have been obsolete and effectively unused.
This deletes them.

In particular, wakeup_decrementer() is no longer needed since the
generic code reprograms the decrementer as part of the process of
resuming the timekeeping code, which happens during sysdev resume.
Thus the wakeup_decrementer calls in the suspend_enter methods for
52xx platforms have been removed.  The call in the powermac cpu
frequency change code has been replaced by set_dec(1), which will
cause a timer interrupt as soon as interrupts are enabled, and the
generic code will then reprogram the decrementer with the correct
value.

This also simplifies the generic_suspend_en/disable_irqs functions
and makes them static since they are not referenced outside time.c.
The preempt_enable/disable calls are removed because the generic
code has disabled all but the boot cpu at the point where these
functions are called, so we can't be moved to another cpu.

      powerpc: Rework VDSO gettimeofday to prevent time going backwards · 8fd63a9e
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      Currently it is possible for userspace to see the result of
gettimeofday() going backwards by 1 microsecond, assuming that
userspace is using the gettimeofday() in the VDSO.  The VDSO
gettimeofday() algorithm computes the time in "xsecs", which are
units of 2^-20 seconds, or approximately 0.954 microseconds,
using the algorithm

	now = (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs + stamp_xsec

and then converts the time in xsecs to seconds and microseconds.

The kernel updates the tb_orig_stamp and stamp_xsec values every
tick in update_vsyscall().  If the length of the tick is not an
integer number of xsecs, then some precision is lost in converting
the current time to xsecs.  For example, with CONFIG_HZ=1000, the
tick is 1ms long, which is 1048.576 xsecs.  That means that
stamp_xsec will advance by either 1048 or 1049 on each tick.
With the right conditions, it is possible for userspace to get
(timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being 1049 if the kernel is
slightly late in updating the vdso_datapage, and then for stamp_xsec
to advance by 1048 when the kernel does update it, and for userspace
to then see (timebase - tb_orig_stamp) * tb_to_xs being zero due to
integer truncation.  The result is that time appears to go backwards
by 1 microsecond.

To fix this we change the VDSO gettimeofday to use a new field in the
VDSO datapage which stores the nanoseconds part of the time as a
fractional number of seconds in a 0.32 binary fraction format.
(Or put another way, as a 32-bit number in units of 0.23283 ns.)
This is convenient because we can use the mulhwu instruction to
convert it to either microseconds or nanoseconds.

Since it turns out that computing the time of day using this new field
is simpler than either using stamp_xsec (as gettimeofday does) or
stamp_xtime.tv_nsec (as clock_gettime does), this converts both
gettimeofday and clock_gettime to use the new field.  The existing
__do_get_tspec function is converted to use the new field and take
a parameter in r7 that indicates the desired resolution, 1,000,000
for microseconds or 1,000,000,000 for nanoseconds.  The __do_get_xsec
function is then unused and is deleted.

The new algorithm is

	now = ((timebase - tb_orig_stamp) << 12) * tb_to_xs
		+ (stamp_xtime_seconds << 32) + stamp_sec_fraction

with 'now' in units of 2^-32 seconds.  That is then converted to
seconds and either microseconds or nanoseconds with

	seconds = now >> 32
	partseconds = ((now & 0xffffffff) * resolution) >> 32

The 32-bit VDSO code also makes a further simplification: it ignores
the bottom 32 bits of the tb_to_xs value, which is a 0.64 format binary
fraction.  Doing so gets rid of 4 multiply instructions.  Assuming
a timebase frequency of 1GHz or less and an update interval of no
more than 10ms, the upper 32 bits of tb_to_xs will be at least
4503599, so the error from ignoring the low 32 bits will be at most
2.2ns, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the time
taken to do gettimeofday or clock_gettime on our fastest processors,
so there is no possibility of seeing inconsistent values due to this.

This also moves update_gtod() down next to its only caller, and makes
update_vsyscall use the time passed in via the wall_time argument rather
than accessing xtime directly.  At present, wall_time always points to
xtime, but that could change in future.
