Once eeh error is found, eeh event will be created and put it into the global linked list. At the mean while, kernel thread will be started to process it. The handler for the kernel thread originally was eeh device sensitive. The patch reworks the handler of the kernel thread so that it's PE sensitive.

The patch implements reset based on PE instead of eeh device. Also, The functions used to retrieve the reset type, either hot or fundamental reset, have been reworked for a little bit. More specificly, it's implemented based the the eeh device traverse function. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <shangw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Originally, all the EEH operations were implemented based on OF node. Actually, it explicitly breaks the rules that the operation target is PE instead of device. Therefore, the patch makes all the operations based on PE instead of device. Unfortunately, the backend for config space has to be kept as original because it doesn't depend on PE.

There're 2 conditions to trigger EEH error detection: invalid value returned from reading I/O or config space. On each case, the function eeh_dn_check_failure will be called to initialize EEH event and put it into the poll for further processing. The patch changes the function for a little bit so that the EEH error will be traced based on PE instead of EEH device any more. Also, the function eeh_find_device_pe() has been removed since the eeh device is tracing the PE by struct eeh_dev::pe.

Since we've introduced dedicated struct to trace individual PEs, it's reasonable to trace its state through the dedicated struct instead of using "eeh_dev" any more. The patches implements the state tracing based on PE. It's notable that the PE state will be applied to the specified PE as well as its child PEs. That complies with the rule that problematic parent PE will prevent those child PEs from working properly.

During PCI hotplug and EEH recovery, the PE hierarchy tree might be changed due to the PCI topology changes. At later point when the PCI device is added, the PE will be created dynamically again. The patch introduces new function to remove EEH devices from the associated PE. That also can cause that the parent PE is removed from the PE tree if the parent PE doesn't include valid EEH devices and child PEs.

The patch creates PEs and associated the newly created PEs with it parent/silbing as well as EEH devices. It would become more straight to trace EEH errors and recover them accordingly. Once the EEH functionality on one PCI IOA has been enabled, we tries to create PE against it. If there's existing PE, to which the current PCI IOA should be attached, the existing PE will be converted from "device" type to "bus" type accordingly.

The patch implements searching PE based on the following requirements: * Search PE according to PE address, which is traditional PE address that is composed of PCI bus/device/function number, or unified PE address assigned by firmware or platform. * Search parent PE according to the given EEH device.

For one particular PE, it's only meaningful in the ancestor PHB domain. Therefore, each PHB should have its own PE hierarchy tree to trace those PEs created against the PHB. The patch creates PEs for the PHBs and put those PEs into the global link list traced by "eeh_phb_pe". The link list of PEs would be first level of overall PE hierarchy tree across the system.

As defined in PAPR 2.4, Partitionable Endpoint (PE) is an I/O subtree that can be treated as a unit for the purposes of partitioning and error recovery. Therefore, eeh core should be aware of PE. With eeh_pe struct, we can support PE explicitly. Further more, it makes all the stuff much more data centralized. Another important reason is for eeh core to support multiple platforms. Some of them like pSeries figures out PEs through OF nodes while others like powernv have to do that through PCI bus/device tree. With explicit PE support, eeh core will be implemented based on the centrialized data and platform dependent implementations figure it out by their feasible ways. When the struct is designed, following factors are taken in account: * Reflecting the relationships of PEs. PE might have parent as well children. * Reflecting the association of PE and (eeh) devices. * PEs have PHB boundary. * PE should have unique address assigned in the corresponding PHB domain.

The EEH initialization functions have been postponed until slab/slub are ready. So we use slab/slub to allocate the memory chunks for newly creatd EEH devices. That would save lots of memory. The patch also does cleanup to replace "kmalloc" with "kzalloc" so that we needn't clear the allocated memory chunk explicitly.

Currently, we have 3 phases for EEH initialization on pSeries platform. All of them are done through builtin functions: platform initialization, EEH device creation, and EEH subsystem enablement. All of them are done no later than ppc_md.setup_arch. That means that the slab/slub isn't ready yet, so we have to allocate memory chunks on basis of PAGE_SIZE for those dynamically created EEH devices. That's pretty expensive. In order to utilize slab/slub for memory allocation, we have to move the EEH initialization functions around, but all of them should be called after slab is ready.

The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem=' kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related information, unlike /proc/iomem on the x86. Without this information, the kexec-tools assumes the entire System RAM and vmcore creates an unnecessarily larger dump. This patch exports the memory limit, if present, via chosen/linux,memory-limit property, so that the vmcore can be limited to the memory limit. The prom_init seems to export this value in the same node. But doesn't really appear there. Also the memory_limit gets adjusted with the processing of crashkernel= parameter. This patch makes sure we get the actual limit. The kexec-tools will use the value to limit the 'end' of the memory regions. Tested this patch on ppc64 and ppc32(ppc440) with a kexec-tools patch by Mahesh. Signed-off-by: Suzuki K. Poulose <suzuki@in.ibm.com> Tested-by: Mahesh J.

There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t. The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT. Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency. This patch does the change only for memory_limit. The following is a list of such variables which need the change: 1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c 2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static variable from machine_kexec.c. Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change the above.

Starting with Power 7+ we need to check for marked events if the SIAR register is valid, i.e. it contains the correct address of the instruction at the time the performance counter overflowed. The mmcra register on Power 7+, contains a new bit to indicate that the contents of the SIAR is valid. If the event is not marked, then the sample is recorded independently of the SIAR valid bit setting. For older processors, there is no SIAR valid bit to check so the samples are always recorded. This is done by forcing the cntr_marked_events bit mask to zero. The code will always record the sample in this case since the bit mask says the event is not a marked event even if it really is a marked event.

The pseries firmware currently refuses any non power of two MSI-X request. Unfortunately most network drivers end up asking for that because they want a power of two for RX queues and one or two extra for everything else. This patch rounds up the firmware request to the next power of two if the quota allows it. If this fails we fall back to using the original request size.

When PCI probe flag PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC has been passed into PCI core, it's hoped that all resources to be reassigned by PCI core. As to particular P2P (PCI-to-PCI) bridge, the size of the corresponding BAR (I/O, MMIO, prefetchable MMIO) is calculated by the resources required by the PCI devices behind the P2P bridge. That means that the information like start/end address retrieved from the hardware registers of the P2P bridge is meainingless in the case. However, we still count that in and the BARs might have been configured by firmware with non-zero size. That leads to space waste. The patch explicitly sets the size of P2P bridge BARs to zero in case that resource reassignment is expected with PCI probe flag PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC. In the result, it will save overall resource required by the system without waste.

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the ! is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep() which is very bad at that point during boot. Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64 does.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote() is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing for it to do. In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule() is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(), this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux(). The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers. Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that ipi_message is not just accessed locally. This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations. Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases. These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on different cores of a POWER7 machine. The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # 3.0+ Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit. We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr. We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is a period where thread.dscr is incorrect. If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR - we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set. However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap. Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt(). This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one is left pending on exit from a KVM guest. When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.
