Wakeup comes from the system reset handler with a potential loss of the non-hypervisor CPU state. We save the non-volatile state on the stack and a pointer to it in the PACA, which the system reset handler uses to restore things Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

We need to wait a bit for them to have done their CPU setup or we might end up with translation and EE on with different LPCR values between threads Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
We do it before we loop on the PACA start flag. This way, we get a chance to set critical SPRs on all CPUs before Linux tries to start them up, which avoids problems when changing some bits such as LPCR bits that need to be identical on all threads of a core or similar things like that. Ideally, some of that should also be done before the MMU is enabled, but that's a separate issue which would require moving some of the SMP startup code earlier, let's not get there for now, it works with that change alone.

This uses feature sections to arrange that we always use HSPRG1 as the scratch register in the interrupt entry code rather than SPRG2 when we're running in hypervisor mode on POWER7. This will ensure that we don't trash the guest's SPRG2 when we are running KVM guests. To simplify the code, we define GET_SCRATCH0() and SET_SCRATCH0() macros like the GET_PACA/SET_PACA macros.

Pass the register type to the prolog, also provides alternate "HV" version of hardware interrupt (0x500) and adjust LPES accordingly We tag those interrupts by setting bit 0x2 in the trap number Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

When running in Hypervisor mode (arch 2.06 or later), we store the PACA in HSPRG0 instead of SPRG1. The architecture specifies that SPRGs may be lost during a "nap" power management operation (though they aren't currently on POWER7) and this enables use of SPRG1 by KVM guests.

This bit indicates that we are operating in hypervisor mode on a CPU compliant to architecture 2.06 or later (currently server only). We set it on POWER7 and have a boot-time CPU setup function that clears it if MSR:HV isn't set (booting under a hypervisor). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Even when nothing is specified in the device tree, and despite the fact that we don't setup links properly yet, we still need a reasonable value in there or some interrupts won't be setup properly to point to an existing processor. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest. The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common RTAS ICS backend. The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones, in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different interrupt "sources" mechanisms.

Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related functions, check that the offset is in range up-front. This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc. Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without checking the range of its arguments. So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT. The fact that we then do "last+1" doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to overflow).

Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working condition. If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get into user-space. Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of 5ea5254a ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative coordinates"). Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254a.

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

We just need to make sure that an unplug event wakes up the md thread, which is exactly what mddev_check_plugged does. Also remove some plug-related code that is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
-
NeilBrown authored
In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things: 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full stripes - or at least more-full. We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt is zero. Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't achieved for some reason. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call mddev_check_plugged. If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some processing can be delayed. If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available. This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more. So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches with restore the plugging functionality.

Jens Axboe authored
If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug.

Because of speculative event roll back, it is possible for some event coutners to decrease between reads on POWER7. This causes a problem with the way that counters are updated. Delta calues are calculated in a 64 bit value and the top 32 bits are masked. If the register value has decreased, this leaves us with a very large positive value added to the kernel counters. This patch protects against this by skipping the update if the delta would be negative. This can lead to a lack of precision in the coutner values, but from my testing the value is typcially fewer than 10 samples at a time.

PAPR specifies that DTL buffers can not cross AMS environments (aka CMO in the PAPR) and can not cross a memory entitlement granule boundary (4k). This is found in section 14.11.3.2 H_REGISTER_VPA of the PAPR. kmalloc does not guarantee an alignment of the allocation, though, beyond 8 bytes (at least in my understanding). Create a special kmem cache for DTL buffers with the alignment requirement. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
