      pseries/cpuidle: Remove redundant call to ppc64_runlatch_off() in cpu idle routines · c0c4301c
      Preeti U Murthy authored 
      Commit fbd7740f(powerpc: Simplify pSeries idle loop) switched pseries cpu
idle handling from complete idle loops to ppc_md.powersave functions. Earlier to
this switch, ppc64_runlatch_off() had to be called in each of the idle routines.
But after the switch, this call is handled in arch_cpu_idle(),just before the call
to ppc_md.powersave, where platform specific idle routines are called.

As a consequence, the call to ppc64_runlatch_off() got duplicated in the
arch_cpu_idle() routine as well as in the some of the idle routines in
pseries and commit fbd7740f missed to get rid of these redundant
calls. These calls were carried over subsequent enhancements to the pseries
cpuidle routines.

Although multiple calls to ppc64_runlatch_off() is harmless, there is still some
overhead due to it. Besides that, these calls could also make way for a
misunderstanding that it is *necessary* to call ppc64_runlatch_off() multiple
times, when that is not the case. Hence this patch takes care of eliminating
this redundancy.

      powerpc: Add debug checks to catch invalid cpu-to-node mappings · 68fb18aa
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored 
      There have been some weird bugs in the past where the kernel tried to associate
threads of the same core to different NUMA nodes, and things went haywire after
that point (as expected).

But unfortunately, root-causing such issues have been quite challenging, due to
the lack of appropriate debug checks in the kernel. These bugs usually lead to
some odd soft-lockups in the scheduler's build-sched-domain code in the CPU
hotplug path, which makes it very hard to trace it back to the incorrect
cpu-to-node mappings.

So add appropriate debug checks to catch such invalid cpu-to-node mappings
as early as possible.

      powerpc: Fix the setup of CPU-to-Node mappings during CPU online · d4edc5b6
      Srivatsa S. Bhat authored 
      On POWER platforms, the hypervisor can notify the guest kernel about dynamic
changes in the cpu-numa associativity (VPHN topology update). Hence the
cpu-to-node mappings that we got from the firmware during boot, may no longer
be valid after such updates. This is handled using the arch_update_cpu_topology()
hook in the scheduler, and the sched-domains are rebuilt according to the new
mappings.

But unfortunately, at the moment, CPU hotplug ignores these updated mappings
and instead queries the firmware for the cpu-to-numa relationships and uses
them during CPU online. So the kernel can end up assigning wrong NUMA nodes
to CPUs during subsequent CPU hotplug online operations (after booting).

Further, a particularly problematic scenario can result from this bug:
On POWER platforms, the SMT mode can be switched between 1, 2, 4 (and even 8)
threads per core. The switch to Single-Threaded (ST) mode is performed by
offlining all except the first CPU thread in each core. Switching back to
SMT mode involves onlining those other threads back, in each core.

Now consider this scenario:

1. During boot, the kernel gets the cpu-to-node mappings from the firmware
   and assigns the CPUs to NUMA nodes appropriately, during CPU online.

2. Later on, the hypervisor updates the cpu-to-node mappings dynamically and
   communicates this update to the kernel. The kernel in turn updates its
   cpu-to-node associations and rebuilds its sched domains. Everything is
   fine so far.

3. Now, the user switches the machine from SMT to ST mode (say, by running
   ppc64_cpu --smt=1). This involves offlining all except 1 thread in each
   core.

4. The user then tries to switch back from ST to SMT mode (say, by running
   ppc64_cpu --smt=4), and this involves onlining those threads back. Since
   CPU hotplug ignores the new mappings, it queries the firmware and tries to
   associate the newly onlined sibling threads to the old NUMA nodes. This
   results in sibling threads within the same core getting associated with
   different NUMA nodes, which is incorrect.

   The scheduler's build-sched-domains code gets thoroughly confused with this
   and enters an infinite loop and causes soft-lockups, as explained in detail
   in commit 3be7db6a (powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings).

So to fix this, use the numa_cpu_lookup_table to remember the updated
cpu-to-node mappings, and use them during CPU hotplug online operations.
Further, we also need to ensure that all threads in a core are assigned to a
common NUMA node, irrespective of whether all those threads were online during
the topology update. To achieve this, we take care not to use cpu_sibling_mask()
since it is not hotplug invariant. Instead, we use cpu_first_sibling_thread()
and set up the mappings manually using the 'threads_per_core' value for that
particular platform. This helps us ensure that we don't hit this bug with any
combination of CPU hotplug and SMT mode switching.

      powerpc/eeh: Hotplug improvement · f26c7a03
      Gavin Shan authored 
      When EEH error comes to one specific PCI device before its driver
is loaded, we will apply hotplug to recover the error. During the
plug time, the PCI device will be probed and its driver is loaded.
Then we wrongly calls to the error handlers if the driver supports
EEH explicitly.

The patch intends to fix by introducing flag EEH_DEV_NO_HANDLER and
set it before we remove the PCI device. In turn, we can avoid wrongly
calls the error handlers of the PCI device after its driver loaded.

      Revert "pseries/iommu: Remove DDW on kexec" · 97e7dc52
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored 
      After reverting 25ebc45b
("powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove default window before attempting DDW
manipulation"), we no longer remove the base window in enable_ddw.
Therefore, we no longer need to reset the DMA window state in
find_existing_ddw_windows(). We can instead go back to what was done
before, which simply reuses the previous configuration, if any. Further,
this removes the final caller of the reset-pe-dma-windows call, so
remove those functions.

This fixes an EEH on kdump with the ipr driver. The EEH occurs, because
the initcall removes the DDW configuration (64-bit DMA window), but
doesn't ensure the ops are via the IOMMU -- a DMA operation occurs
during probe (still investigating this) and we EEH.

This reverts commit 14b6f00f.

      Revert "powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove default window before attempting DDW manipulation" · ae69e1ed
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored 
      Ben rightfully pointed out that there is a race in the "newer" DDW code.
Presuming we are running on recent enough firmware that supports the
"reset" DDW manipulation call, we currently always remove the base
32-bit DMA window in order to maximize the resources for Phyp when
creating the 64-bit window. However, this can be problematic for the
case where multiple functions are in the same PE (partitionable
endpoint), where some funtions might be 32-bit DMA only. All of a
sudden, the only functional DMA window for such functions is gone. We
will have serious errors in such situations. The best solution is simply
to revert the extension to the DDW code where we ever remove the base
DMA window.

This reverts commit 25ebc45b.

      None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The one instance where we add an include for init.h covers off
a case where that file was implicitly getting it from another
header which itself didn't need it.

      powerpc/512x: dts: remove misplaced IRQ spec from 'soc' node (5125) · bbca4d39
      Gerhard Sittig authored 
      the 'soc' node in the MPC5125 "tower" board .dts has an '#interrupt-cells'
property although this node is not an interrupt controller

remove this erroneously placed property because starting with v3.13-rc1
lookup and resolution of 'interrupts' specs for peripherals gets misled
(tries to use the 'soc' as the interrupt parent which fails), emits
'no irq domain found' WARN() messages and breaks the boot process

[ best viewed with 'git diff -U5' to have DT node names in the context ]
