Resetting root port has more stuff to do than that for PCIe switch ports and we should have resetting root port done in firmware instead of the kernel itself. The problem was introduced by commit 5b2e198e ("powerpc/powernv: Rework EEH reset").

This patch fixes this section mismatch: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1efc4): Section mismatch in reference from the function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() to the function .init.text:ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9() The function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() references the function __init ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9(). This is often because apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9 is wrong. apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw is only referenced by a struct in __initdata, so it should be safe to add __init to apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw.

The secondary threads in the core are kept offline before launching guests in kvm on powerpc: "371fefd6:KVM: PPC: Allow book3s_hv guests to use SMT processor modes." Hence their runlatch bits are cleared. When the secondary threads are called in to start a guest, their runlatch bits need to be set to indicate that they are busy. The primary thread has its runlatch bit set though, but there is no harm in setting this bit once again. Hence set the runlatch bit for all threads before they start guest.

Up until now we have been setting the runlatch bits for a busy CPU and clearing it when a CPU enters idle state. The runlatch bit has thus been consistent with the utilization of a CPU as long as the CPU is online. However when a CPU is hotplugged out the runlatch bit is not cleared. It needs to be cleared to indicate an unused CPU. Hence this patch has the runlatch bit cleared for an offline CPU just before entering an idle state and sets it immediately after it exits the idle state.

While testing memory hot-remove, I found following dead lock: Process #1141 is drmgr, trying to remove some memory, i.e. memory499. It holds the memory_hotplug_mutex, and blocks when trying to remove file "online" under dir memory499, in kernfs_drain(), at wait_event(root->deactivate_waitq, atomic_read(&kn->active) == KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS); Process #1120 is trying to online memory499 by echo 1 > memory499/online In .kernfs_fop_write, it uses kernfs_get_active() to increase &kn->active, thus blocking process #1141. While itself is blocked later when trying to acquire memory_hotplug_mutex, which is held by process The backtrace of both processes are shown below: [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c000000000263ca4>] .online_pages+0x74/0x7b0 [<c00000000055b40c>] .memory_subsys_online+0x9c/0x150 [<c00000000053cbe8>] .device_online+0xb8/0x120 [<c00000000053cd04>] .online_store+0xb4/0xc0 [<c000000000538ce4>] .dev_attr_store+0x64/0xa0 [<c00000000030f4ec>] .sysfs_kf_write+0x7c/0xb0 [<c00000000030e574>] .kernfs_fop_write+0x154/0x1e0 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c00000000030be14>] .__kernfs_remove+0x204/0x300 [<c00000000030d428>] .kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x68/0xf0 [<c00000000030fb38>] .sysfs_remove_file_ns+0x38/0x60 [<c000000000539354>] .device_remove_attrs+0x54/0xc0 [<c000000000539fd8>] .device_del+0x158/0x250 [<c00000000053a104>] .device_unregister+0x34/0xa0 [<c00000000055bc14>] .unregister_memory_section+0x164/0x170 [<c00000000024ee18>] .__remove_pages+0x108/0x4c0 [<c00000000004b590>] .arch_remove_memory+0x60/0xc0 [<c00000000026446c>] .remove_memory+0x8c/0xe0 [<c00000000007f9f4>] .pseries_remove_memblock+0xd4/0x160 [<c00000000007fcfc>] .pseries_memory_notifier+0x27c/0x290 [<c0000000008ae6cc>] .notifier_call_chain+0x8c/0x100 [<c0000000000d858c>] .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x6c/0xe0 [<c00000000071ddec>] .of_property_notify+0x7c/0xc0 [<c00000000071ed3c>] .of_update_property+0x3c/0x1b0 [<c0000000000756cc>] .ofdt_write+0x3dc/0x740 [<c0000000002f60fc>] .proc_reg_write+0xac/0x110 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c This patch uses lock_device_hotplug() to protect remove_memory() called in pseries_remove_memblock(), which is also stated before function remove_memory(): * NOTE: The caller must call lock_device_hotplug() to serialize hotplug * and online/offline operations before this call, as required by * try_offline_node(). */ void __ref remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size) With this lock held, the other process(#1120 above) trying to online the memory block will retry the system call when calling lock_device_hotplug_sysfs(), and finally find No such device error.

We have two definitions of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE, one for the kernel and one for the boot wrapper. I assume this is so the boot wrapper can be self sufficient and not rely on kernel headers.

We have two copies of code that creates an OPAL sg list. Consolidate these into a common set of helpers and fix the endian issues. The flash interface embedded a version number in the num_entries field, whereas the dump interface did did not. Since versioning wasn't added to the flash interface and it is impossible to add this in a backwards compatible way, just remove it.

During the EEH hotplug event, iommu_add_device() will be invoked three times and two of them will trigger warning or error. The three times to invoke the iommu_add_device() are: pci_device_add ... set_iommu_table_base_and_group <- 1st time, fail device_add ... tce_iommu_bus_notifier <- 2nd time, succees pcibios_add_pci_devices ... pcibios_setup_bus_devices <- 3rd time, re-attach The first time fails, since the dev->kobj->sd is not initialized. The dev->kobj->sd is initialized in device_add(). The third time's warning is triggered by the re-attach of the iommu_group.

We have a subtle race when sending CPUs back to OPAL on kexec. We mark them as "in real mode" right before we send them down. Once we've booted the new kernel, it might try to call opal_reinit_cpus() to change endianness, and that requires all CPUs to be spinning inside OPAL. However there is no synchronization here and we've observed cases where the returning CPUs hadn't established their new state inside OPAL before opal_reinit_cpus() is called, causing it to fail. The proper fix is to actually wait for them to go down all the way from the kexec'ing kernel. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The size of the sysparam sysfs files is determined from the device tree at boot. However the buffer is hard coded to 64 bytes. If we encounter a parameter that is larger than 64, or miss-parse the device tree, the buffer will overflow when reading or writing to the parameter. Check it at discovery time, and if the parameter is too large, do not create a sysfs entry for it.

When a sysparam query in OPAL returned a negative value (error code), sysfs would spew out a decent chunk of memory; almost 64K more than expected. This was traced to a sign/unsigned mix up in the OPAL sysparam sysfs code at sys_param_show. The return value of sys_param_show is a ssize_t, calculated using return ret ? ret : attr->param_size; Alan Modra explains: "attr->param_size" is an unsigned int, "ret" an int, so the overall expression has type unsigned int. Result is that ret is cast to unsigned int before being cast to ssize_t. Instead of using the ternary operator, set ret to the param_size if an error is not detected. The same bug exists in the sysfs write callback; this patch fixes it in the same way. A note on debugging this next time: on my system gcc will warn about this if compiled with -Wsign-compare, which is not enabled by -Wall, only -Wextra.

commit 41dd03a9 may cause Oops in rtas_stop_self(). The reason is that the rtas_args was moved into stack space. For a box with more that 4GB RAM, the stack could easily be outside 32bit range, but RTAS is 32bit. So the patch moves rtas_args away from stack by adding static before it.

In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375 session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL); The error message: "Not enough memory for reading per file header" is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by "Perf session creation failed" I believe this issue has been brought to lkml: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458 although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue. Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write. Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it. This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to the caller.
