commit b3f271e8 (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to save the current tasks' VMX state. kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr we get a cryptic oops or lockup. I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too. Signed-off-by:

lockdep.c has this: /* * So we're supposed to get called after you mask local IRQs, * but for some reason the hardware doesn't quite think you did * a proper job. */ if (DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled())) return; Since irqs_disabled() is based on soft_enabled(), that (not just the hard EE bit) needs to be 0 before we call trace_hardirqs_off.

We add a machine_shutdown hook that frees the OPAL interrupts (so they get masked at the source and don't fire while kexec'ing) and which triggers an IODA reset on all the PCIe host bridges which will have the effect of blocking all DMAs and subsequent PCIs interrupts. Signed-off-by:

If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware error), we should drop characters. Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2 APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(), which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work). However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors or closed console, to spin forever. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware which may not have a working console but which has a method of reading/writing kernel memory. This version incorporates comments made by Ben H (thanks!). Changes from v1: - Add memory barriers. - Ensure updating of read/write positions is atomic. Signed-off-by:

If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled (which is the most common case) all is already well. However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that the irqs are going off. We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular dependency hell hole. Signed-off-by:

The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses. This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset (basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows. This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed but this will be a more invasive change.

Some devices don't have a correct node ID and thus can't be attached to an iommu. The message displayed by the iommu code isn't very useful if you don't have a device-tree node as it tries to print the device-tree path but not the struct device name. Improve this by printing the device name as well. Signed-off-by: -

Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as "protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those machines. This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map() callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently. MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes. Signed-off-by:

On pseries machines the detection for max_bus_speed should be done through an OpenFirmware property. This patch adds a function to perform this detection and a hook to perform dynamic adding of the function only for pseries.

POWER8 allows read and write of the DSCR in userspace. We added kernel emulation so applications could always use the instructions regardless of the CPU type. Unfortunately there are two SPRs for the DSCR and we only added emulation for the privileged one. Add code to match the non privileged one. A simple test was created to verify the fix: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/user_dscr_test.c Without the patch we get a SIGILL and it passes with the patch. Signed-off-by:

Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.
