On Power8 we can freeze PMC5 and 6 if we're not using them. Normally they run all the time. As noticed by Anshuman, we should unfreeze them when we disable the PMU as there are legacy tools which expect them to run all the time.

In pmu_disable() we disable the PMU by setting the FC (Freeze Counters) bit in MMCR0. In order to do this we have to read/modify/write MMCR0. It's possible that we read a value from MMCR0 which has PMAO (PMU Alert Occurred) set. When we write that value back it will cause an interrupt to occur. We will then end up in the PMU interrupt handler even though we are supposed to have just disabled the PMU. We can avoid this by making sure we never write PMAO back. We should not lose interrupts because when the PMU is re-enabled the overflowed values will cause another interrupt. We also reorder the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE so that is done after the PMU is frozen. Otherwise there is a small window between the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE and the setting of FC where we could take an interrupt and incorrectly see SAMPLE_ENABLE not set. This would for example change the logic in perf_read_regs().

A mistake we have made in the past is that we pull out the fields we need from the event code, but don't check that there are no unknown bits set. This means that we can't ever assign meaning to those unknown bits in future. Although we have once again failed to do this at release, it is still early days for Power8 so I think we can still slip this in and get away with it.

The exception at 0xf60 is not the TM (Transactional Memory) unavailable exception, it is the "Facility Unavailable Exception", rename it as such. Flesh out the handler to acknowledge the fact that it can be called for many reasons, one of which is TM being unavailable. Use STD_EXCEPTION_COMMON() for the exception body, for some reason we had it open-coded, I've checked the generated code is identical.

KVMTEST is a macro which checks whether we are taking an exception from guest context, if so we branch out of line and eventually call into the KVM code to handle the switch. When running real guests on bare metal (HV KVM) the hardware ensures that we never take a relocation on exception when transitioning from guest to host. For PR KVM we disable relocation on exceptions ourself in kvmppc_core_init_vm(), as of commit a413f474 "Disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active". So convert all the RELON macros to use NOTEST, and drop the remaining KVM_HANDLER() definitions we have for 0xe40 and 0xe80.

We have relocation on exception handlers defined for h_data_storage and h_instr_storage. However we will never take relocation on exceptions for these because they can only come from a guest, and we never take relocation on exceptions when we transition from guest to host. We also have a handler for hmi_exception (Hypervisor Maintenance) which is defined in the architecture to never be delivered with relocation on, see see v2.07 Book III-S section 6.5. So remove the handlers, leaving a branch to self just to be double extra paranoid.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the powerpc uses of the __cpuinit macros. There are no __CPUINIT users in assembly files in powerpc.

For an unknown relocation type since the value of r4 is just the 8bit relocation type, the sum of r4 and r7 may yield an invalid memory address. For example: In normal case: r4 = c00xxxxx r7 = 40000000 r4 + r7 = 000xxxxx For an unknown relocation type: r4 = 000000xx r7 = 40000000 r4 + r7 = 400000xx 400000xx is an invalid memory address for a board which has just 512M memory. And for operations such as dcbst or icbi may cause bus error for an invalid memory address on some platforms and then cause the board reset. So we should skip the flush/invalidate the d/icache for an unknown relocation type. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com> Acked-by: Suzuki K.

With pm81/pm91/pm121, when the overtemperature state is entered, and when it remains on after skipped ticks, the driver will try to leave it too soon (immediately on the next tick). This is because the active FAILURE_OVERTEMP state is not visible in "new_failure" variable of the current tick. Furthermore, the driver will keep trying to clear condition in subsequent ticks as FAILURE_OVERTEMP remains set in the "last_failure" variable. These will start to trigger WARNINGS from windfarm core: [ 100.082735] windfarm: Clamping CPU frequency to minimum ! [ 100.108132] windfarm: Overtemp condition detected !

Currently, we're using the combo (PCI bus + devfn) in the PCI config accessors and PCI config accessors in EEH depends on them. However, it's not safe to refer the PCI bus which might have been removed during hotplug. So we're using device node in the PCI config accessors and the corresponding backends just reuse them. The patch also fix one potential risk: We possiblly have frozen PE during the early PCI probe time, but we haven't setup the PE mapping yet. So the errors should be counted to PE#0.

When we treclaim and trecheckpoint there's an unavoidable period when r1 will not be a valid kernel stack pointer. This patch clears the MSR recoverable interrupt (RI) bit over these regions to indicate we have an invalid kernel stack pointer. For treclaim, the region over which we clear MSR RI is larger than required to avoid the need for an extra costly mtmsrd. Thanks to Paulus for suggesting this change.

Currently, HPAGE_PMD_* constans rely on PMD_SHIFT regardless of CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. PMD_SHIFT is not defined everywhere (e.g. arm nommu case). It means we can't use anything like this in generic code: if (PageTransHuge(page)) zero_huge_user(page, 0, HPAGE_PMD_SIZE); else clear_highpage(page); For !THP case, PageTransHuge() is 0 and compiler can eliminate zero_huge_user() call. But it still need to be valid C expression, means HPAGE_PMD_SIZE has to expand to something compiler can understand. Previously, HPAGE_PMD_* were defined to BUILD_BUG() for !THP.

In 9422de3e "powerpc: Hardware breakpoints rewrite to handle non DABR breakpoint registers" we changed the way we mark extraneous irqs with this: - info->extraneous_interrupt = !((bp->attr.bp_addr <= dar) && - (dar - bp->attr.bp_addr < bp->attr.bp_len)); + if (!((bp->attr.bp_addr <= dar) && + (dar - bp->attr.bp_addr < bp->attr.bp_len))) + info->type |= HW_BRK_TYPE_EXTRANEOUS_IRQ; Unfortunately this is bogus as it never clears extraneous IRQ if it's already set. This correctly clears extraneous IRQ before possibly setting it.

The smallest match region for both the DABR and DAWR is 8 bytes, so the kernel needs to filter matches when users want to look at regions smaller than this. Currently we set the length of PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT breakpoints to 8. This is wrong as in exact mode we should only match on 1 address, hence the length should be 1. This ensures that the kernel will filter out any exact mode hardware breakpoint matches on any addresses other than the requested one.

Hugepage invalidate involves invalidating multiple hpte entries. Optimize the operation using H_BULK_REMOVE on lpar platforms. On native, reduce the number of tlb flush.
