In order to support concurrent adapter firmware download to SR-IOV adapters on pSeries, each VF will see an EEH event where the slot will remain in the unavailable state for the duration of the adapter firmware update, which can take as long as 5 minutes. Extend the EEH recovery timeout to account for this.

When hitting frozen PE or fenced PHB, it's always indicative to have dumped PHB diag-data for further analysis and diagnosis. However, we never dump that for the cases. The patch intends to dump PHB diag-data at the backend of eeh_ops::get_log() for PowerNV platform.

Prior to the completion of PCI enumeration, we actively detects EEH errors on PCI config cycles and dump PHB diag-data if necessary. The EEH backend also dumps PHB diag-data in case of frozen PE or fenced PHB. However, we are using different functions to dump the PHB diag-data for those 2 cases. The patch merges the functions for dumping PHB diag-data to one so that we can avoid duplicate code. Also, we never dump PHB3 diag-data during PCI config cycles with frozen PE. The patch fixes it as well. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <shangw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current implementation of IOMMU on sPAPR does not use iommu_ops and therefore does not call IOMMU API's bus_set_iommu() which 1) sets iommu_ops for a bus 2) registers a bus notifier Instead, PCI devices are added to IOMMU groups from subsys_initcall_sync(tce_iommu_init) which does basically the same thing without using iommu_ops callbacks. However Freescale PAMU driver (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/1/158) implements iommu_ops and when tce_iommu_init is called, every PCI device is already added to some group so there is a conflict. This patch does 2 things: 1. removes the loop in which PCI devices were added to groups and adds explicit iommu_add_device() calls to add devices as soon as they get the iommu_table pointer assigned to them. 2. moves a bus notifier to powernv code in order to avoid conflict with the notifier from Freescale driver. iommu_add_device() and iommu_del_device() are public now.

Opal now has a new messaging infrastructure to push the messages to linux in a generic format for different type of messages using only one event bit. The format of the opal message is as below: struct opal_msg { uint32_t msg_type; uint32_t reserved; uint64_t params[8]; }; This patch allows clients to subscribe for notification for specific message type. It is upto the subscriber to decipher the messages who showed interested in receiving specific message type. The interface to subscribe for notification is: int opal_message_notifier_register(enum OpalMessageType msg_type, struct notifier_block *nb) The notifier will fetch the opal message when available and notify the subscriber with message type and the opal message. It is subscribers responsibility to copy the message data before returning from notifier callback.

Add basic error handling in machine check exception handler. - If MSR_RI isn't set, we can not recover. - Check if disposition set to OpalMCE_DISPOSITION_RECOVERED. - Check if address at fault is inside kernel address space, if not then send SIGBUS to process if we hit exception when in userspace. - If address at fault is not provided then and if we get a synchronous machine check while in userspace then kill the task.

When machine check real mode handler can not continue into host kernel in V mode, it returns from the interrupt and we loose MCE event which never gets logged. In such a situation queue up the MCE event so that we can log it later when we get back into host kernel with r1 pointing to kernel stack e.g. during syscall exit.

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full MCE information. We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have our MCE information safe on current stack. We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot (index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler. This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event() generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking release_mce_event(). This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt. The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so that event is available for linus host machine If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error. If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.

If we get a machine check exception due to SLB or TLB errors, then flush SLBs/TLBs and reload SLBs to recover. We do this in real mode before turning on MMU. Otherwise we would run into nested machine checks. If we get a machine check when we are in guest, then just flush the SLBs and continue. This patch handles errors for power7.

This patch adds the early machine check function pointer in cputable for CPU specific early machine check handling. The early machine handle routine will be called in real mode to handle SLB and TLB errors. We can not reuse the existing machine_check hook because it is always invoked in kernel virtual mode and we would already be in trouble if we get SLB or TLB errors. This patch just sets up a mechanism to invoke CPU specific handler. The subsequent patches will populate the function pointer.

We can get machine checks from any context. We need to make sure that we handle all of them correctly. If we are coming from hypervisor user-space, we can continue in host kernel in virtual mode to deliver the MC event. If we got woken up from power-saving mode then we may come in with one of the following state: a. No state loss b. Supervisor state loss c. Hypervisor state loss For (a) and (b), we go back to nap again. State (c) is fatal, keep spinning. For all other context which we not sure of queue up the MCE event and return from the interrupt.

Move machine check entry point into Linux. So far we were dependent on firmware to decode MCE error details and handover the high level info to OS. This patch introduces early machine check routine that saves the MCE information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) to the emergency stack. We allocate stack frame on emergency stack and set the r1 accordingly. This allows us to be prepared to take another exception without loosing context. One thing to note here that, if we get another machine check while ME bit is off then we risk a checkstop. Hence we restrict ourselves to save only MCE information and register saved on PACA_EXMC save are before we turn the ME bit on. We use paca->in_mce flag to differentiate between first entry and nested machine check entry which helps proper use of emergency stack. We increment paca->in_mce every time we enter in early machine check handler and decrement it while leaving. When we enter machine check early handler first time (paca->in_mce == 0), we are sure nobody is using MC emergency stack and allocate a stack frame at the start of the emergency stack. During subsequent entry (paca->in_mce > 0), we know that r1 points inside emergency stack and we allocate separate stack frame accordingly. This prevents us from clobbering MCE information during nested machine checks. The early machine check handler changes are placed under CPU_FTR_HVMODE section. This makes sure that the early machine check handler will get executed only in hypervisor kernel. This is the code flow: Machine Check Interrupt | V 0x200 vector ME=0, IR=0, DR=0 | V +-----------------------------------------------+ |machine_check_pSeries_early: | ME=0, IR=0, DR=0 | Alloc frame on emergency stack | | Save srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr on stack | +-----------------------------------------------+ | (ME=1, IR=0, DR=0, RFID) | V machine_check_handle_early ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | V +-----------------------------------------------+ | machine_check_early (r3=pt_regs) | ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | Things to do: (in next patches) | | Flush SLB for SLB errors | | Flush TLB for TLB errors | | Decode and save MCE info | +-----------------------------------------------+ | (Fall through existing exception handler routine.) | V machine_check_pSerie ME=1, IR=0, DR=0 | (ME=1, IR=1, DR=1, RFID) | V machine_check_common ME=1, IR=1, DR=1 . . .

This patch introduces exclusive emergency stack for machine check exception. We use emergency stack to handle machine check exception so that we can save MCE information (srr1, srr0, dar and dsisr) before turning on ME bit and be ready for re-entrancy. This helps us to prevent clobbering of MCE information in case of nested machine checks. The reason for using emergency stack over normal kernel stack is that the machine check might occur in the middle of setting up a stack frame which may result into improper use of kernel stack.

This patch splits the common exception prolog logic into three parts to facilitate reuse of existing code in the next patch. This patch also re-arranges few instructions in such a way that the second part now deals with saving register values from paca save area to stack frame, and the third part deals with saving current register values to stack frame. The second and third part will be reused in the machine check exception routine in the subsequent patch. Please note that this patch does not introduce or change existing code logic. Instead it is just a code movement and instruction re-ordering. Patch Acked-by Paul. But made some minor modification (explained above) to address Paul's comment in the later patch(3).

We currently have a user visible CONFIG_POWERNV_MSI option, but it doesn't actually disable MSI for powernv. The MSI code is always built, what it does disable is the inclusion of the MSI bitmap code, which leads to a build error. eg, with PPC_POWERNV=y and POWERNV_MSI=n we get: arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o: In function `.pnv_teardown_msi_irqs': pci.c:(.text+0x3558): undefined reference to `.msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs' We don't really need a POWERNV_MSI symbol, just have the MSI bitmap code depend directly on PPC_POWERNV.

In a recent patch: commit c13f20ac Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts We fixed an issue but an improved solution was later discussed after the patch was merged. Firstly, this patch doesn't handle the 64bit signals case, which could also hit this issue (but has never been reported). Secondly, the original patch isn't clear what MSR VSX should be set to. The new approach below always clears the MSR VSX bit (to indicate no VSX is in the context) and sets it only in the specific case where VSX is available (ie. when VSX has been used and the signal context passed has space to provide the state). This reverts the original patch and replaces it with the improved solution. It also adds a 64 bit version.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

This was found by Dan using static analysis as described here: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2013-November/113161.html We currently get away with this because the callers that currently pass NULL for vma seem to be 32-bit-only (e.g. highmem, and CONFIG_DEBUG_PGALLOC in pgtable_32.c) Hugetlb is currently 64-bit only, so we never saw a NULL vma here.
