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:

Use the new MSR_64BIT in a few places. Some of these are already ifdef'ed for BOOKE vs BOOKS, but it's still clearer, MSR_SF does not immediately parse as "MSR bit for 64bit". Signed-off-by:

The MSR bit which indicates 64-bit-ness is different between server and booke, so add a #define which gives you the right mask regardless. 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:

An erratum on A2 can lead to the bolted entry we insert for the linear mapping being evicted, to avoid that write the bolted entry to way 3. 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:

SCOM is a side-band configuration bus implemented on some processors. This code provides a way for code to map and operate on devices via SCOM, while the details of how that is implemented is left up to a SCOM "controller" in the platform code. 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:
-
Michael Ellerman authored
This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent executable. This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address. This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image). Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything. Signed-off-by:

On Book3E, MMU_NO_CONTEXT != 0, but the slice_mm_new_context() macro assumes that it is. This means that the map of the page sizes for each slice is always initialized to zeroes (which happens to be 4k pages), rather than to the correct default base page size value - which might be 64k. This patch corrects the problem. Signed-off-by:

We need to wait a bit for them to have done their CPU setup or we might end up with translation and EE on with different LPCR values between threads Signed-off-by: -
Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
We do it before we loop on the PACA start flag. This way, we get a chance to set critical SPRs on all CPUs before Linux tries to start them up, which avoids problems when changing some bits such as LPCR bits that need to be identical on all threads of a core or similar things like that. Ideally, some of that should also be done before the MMU is enabled, but that's a separate issue which would require moving some of the SMP startup code earlier, let's not get there for now, it works with that change alone.
