this patches changes some error handling logics in numa_setup_cpu(), when cpu node is not found, so: if the cpu is possible, but not present, -1 is kept in numa_cpu_lookup_table, so later, if the cpu is added, we could set correct numa information for it. if the cpu is present, then we set the first online node to numa_cpu_lookup_table instead of 0 ( in case 0 might not be an online node? ) Cc: Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

As Nish suggested, it makes more sense to init the numa node informatiion for present cpus at boottime, which could also avoid WARN_ON(1) in numa_setup_cpu(). With this change, we also need to change the smp_prepare_cpus() to set up numa information only on present cpus. For those possible, but not present cpus, their numa information will be set up after they are started, as the original code did before commit 2fabf084.

With commit 2fabf084 ("powerpc: reorder per-cpu NUMA information's initialization"), during boottime, cpu_numa_callback() is called earlier(before their online) for each cpu, and verify_cpu_node_mapping() uses cpu_to_node() to check whether siblings are in the same node. It skips the checking for siblings that are not online yet. So the only check done here is for the bootcpu, which is online at that time. But the per-cpu numa_node cpu_to_node() uses hasn't been set up yet (which will be set up in smp_prepare_cpus()). So I saw something like following reported: [ 0.000000] CPU thread siblings 1/2/3 and 0 don't belong to the same node! As we don't actually do the checking during this early stage, so maybe we could directly call numa_setup_cpu() in do_init_bootmem().

This extends the instruction emulation done by analyse_instr() and emulate_step() to handle a few more instructions that are found in the kernel. Signed-off-by:
-
Paul Mackerras authored
This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction, but doesn't execute any load or store instructions. It does execute integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by updating register values in the pt_regs struct. For other instructions, it returns the instruction type and other details in a new instruction_op struct. emulate_step() then uses that information to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and (on 64-bit) sc instructions. The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead of having its own separate instruction emulation code. Possibly the alignment interrupt handler could also use this.

In commit e6a6928c "of/fdt: Convert FDT functions to use libfdt", the kernel stopped supporting old flat device tree formats. The minimum supported version is now 0x10. There was a checking function added, early_init_dt_verify(), but it's not called on powerpc. The result is, if you boot with an old flat device tree, the kernel will fail to parse it correctly, think you have no memory etc. and hilarity ensues. We can't really fix it, but we can at least catch the fact that the device tree is in an unsupported format and panic(). We can't call BUG(), it's too early. Signed-off-by:

On PowerNV platforms, when a CPU is offline, we put it into nap mode. It's possible that the CPU wakes up from nap mode while it is still offline due to a stray IPI. A misdirected device interrupt could also potentially cause it to wake up. In that circumstance, we need to clear the interrupt so that the CPU can go back to nap mode. In the past the clearing of the interrupt was accomplished by briefly enabling interrupts and allowing the normal interrupt handling code (do_IRQ() etc.) to handle the interrupt. This has the problem that this code calls irq_enter() and irq_exit(), which call functions such as account_system_vtime() which use RCU internally. Use of RCU is not permitted on offline CPUs and will trigger errors if RCU checking is enabled. To avoid calling into any generic code which might use RCU, we adopt a different method of clearing interrupts on offline CPUs. Since we are on the PowerNV platform, we know that the system interrupt controller is a XICS being driven directly (i.e. not via hcalls) by the kernel. Hence this adds a new icp_native_flush_interrupt() function to the native-mode XICS driver and arranges to call that when an offline CPU is woken from nap. This new function reads the interrupt from the XICS. If it is an IPI, it clears the IPI; if it is a device interrupt, it prints a warning and disables the source. Then it does the end-of-interrupt processing for the interrupt. The other thing that briefly enabling interrupts did was to check and clear the irq_happened flag in this CPU's PACA. Therefore, after flushing the interrupt from the XICS, we also clear all bits except the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS (interrupts are hard disabled) bit from the irq_happened flag. The PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag is set by power7_nap() and is left set to indicate that interrupts are hard disabled. This means we then have to ignore that flag in power7_nap(), which is reasonable since it doesn't indicate that any interrupt event needs servicing. Signed-off-by:

of_device_ids (i.e. compatible strings and the respective data) are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with of_device_ids provided by <linux/of.h> work with const of_device_ids. This allows to mark all struct of_device_id const, too. While touching these line also put the __init annotation at the right position where necessary. Signed-off-by:

Fix ppc 32 build failure as reported here: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/11663513/ The error is as follows: arch/powerpc/include/asm/floppy.h:142:20: error: 'isa_bridge_pcidev' undeclared (first use in this function) This is happening since floppy.o is enabled by BLK_DEV_FD which depends on ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC which is in-turn enabled if PPC_PSERIES=n. The following commit changes the dependency so that ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC is dependent exclusively on PCI since otherwise it will not compile. Signed-off-by:

in commit 29f1aff2 (powerpc: Copy bootable images in the default install script) we changed to copying all the built boot targets based on the assumption that it's backwards compatible. It turns out that debian devived installkernel scripts will barf if not given exactly 4 args. This change reverts make install to just install the vmlinux (we can change the dfault in a seperate patch) and introduces a new make zInstall which works with a more flexible installkernel script.

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "double iput() on failure exit in lustre, racy removal of spliced dentries from ->s_anon in __d_materialise_dentry() plus a bunch of assorted RCU pathwalk fixes" The RCU pathwalk fixes end up fixing a couple of cases where we incorrectly dropped out of RCU walking, due to incorrect initialization and testing of the sequence locks in some corner cases. Since dropping out of RCU walk mode forces the slow locked accesses, those corner cases slowed down quite dramatically. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: be careful with nd->inode in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu() don't bugger nd->seq on set_root_rcu() from follow_dotdot_rcu() fix bogus read_seqretry() checks introduced in b37199e6 move the call of __d_drop(anon) into __d_materialise_unique(dentry, anon) [fix] lustre: d_make_root() does iput() on dentry allocation failure

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname lookup (see commit 99d263d4 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in this area. There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come in with the next VFS pull. But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine. It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()" function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole 'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value. With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother. Signed-off-by:

return the value instead, and have path_init() do the assignment. Broken by "vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number", which was Cc-stable with 2.6.38+ as destination. This one should go where it went. To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value is guaranteed to have nd->root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way), lift the check into callers. And do the same to set_root(), to keep them in sync. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.38+ Signed-off-by:
