This patch exploits pstore subsystem to read details of common partition in NVRAM to a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, common partition details will be stored in a file named [common-nvram-6]. Signed-off-by:

IBM's p series machines provide persistent storage for LPARs through NVRAM. NVRAM's lnx,oops-log partition is used to log oops messages. Currently the kernel provides the contents of p-series NVRAM only as a simple stream of bytes via /dev/nvram, which must be interpreted in user space by the nvram command in the powerpc-utils package. This patch set exploits the pstore subsystem to expose oops partition in NVRAM as a separate file in /dev/pstore. For instance, Oops messages will be stored in a file named [dmesg-nvram-2]. In case pstore registration fails it will fall back to kmsg_dump mechanism. This patch will read/write the oops messages from/to this partition via pstore. Signed-off-by:

Introduce generic read function to read nvram partitions other than rtas. nvram_read_error_log will be retained which is used to read rtas partition from rtasd. nvram_read_partition is the generic read function to read from any nvram partition. Signed-off-by:

Introduce version and timestamp information in the oops header. oops_log_info (oops header) holds version (to distinguish between old and new format oops header), length of the oops text (compressed or uncompressed) and timestamp. The version field will sit in the same place as the length in old headers. version is assigned 5000 (greater than oops partition size) so that existing tools will refuse to dump new style partitions as the length is too large. The updated tools will work with both old and new format headers. Signed-off-by:

Under some special circumstances, the EEH device doesn't have the associated device tree node or PCI device. The patch enhances those functions converting EEH device to device tree node or PCI device accordingly to avoid unnecessary system crash. Signed-off-by:

While running Linux as guest on top of phyp, we possiblly have PE that includes single PCI device. However, we didn't return its PCI bus correctly and it leads to failure on recovery from EEH errors for single-dev-PE. The patch fixes the issue.

On BookE (Branch taken + Single Step) is as same as Branch Taken on BookS and in Linux we simulate BookS behavior for BookE as well. When doing so, in Branch taken handling we want to set DBCR0_IC but we update the current->thread->dbcr0 and not DBCR0. Now on 64bit the current->thread.dbcr0 (and other debug registers) is synchronized ONLY on context switch flow. But after handling Branch taken in debug exception if we return back to user space without context switch then single stepping change (DBCR0_ICMP) does not get written in h/w DBCR0 and Instruction Complete exception does not happen. This fixes using ptrace reliably on BookE-PowerPC lmbench latency test (lat_syscall) Results are (they varies a little on each run) 1) ./lat_syscall <action> /dev/shm/uImage action: Open read write stat fstat null Before: 3.8618 0.2017 0.2851 1.6789 0.2256 0.0856 After: 3.8580 0.2017 0.2851 1.6955 0.2255 0.0856 1) ./lat_syscall -P 2 -N 10 <action> /dev/shm/uImage action: Open read write stat fstat null Before: 4.1388 0.2238 0.3066 1.7106 0.2256 0.0856 After: 4.1413 0.2236 0.3062 1.7107 0.2256 0.0856 [ Slightly modified to avoid extra branch in the fast path on Book3S and fix build on all non-BookE 64-bit -- BenH ] Signed-off-by:

VFIO implements platform independent stuff such as a PCI driver, BAR access (via read/write on a file descriptor or direct mapping when possible) and IRQ signaling. The platform dependent part includes IOMMU initialization and handling. This implements an IOMMU driver for VFIO which does mapping/unmapping pages for the guest IO and provides information about DMA window (required by a POWER guest).

This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized) platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver, which is used for PCI pass through. It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties. This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest. The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be added later. Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV platform, it should work on any platform which supports TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling the host kernel again), performance is not the best - circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network. To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config option and configure VFIO as required. Cc: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by:

There appears to be no good reason to keep this as 64bit only. It works on 32bit also, and has checks so that it can work correctly with 32bit binaries on 64bit hardware which is why I think this works. I tested this on qemu using the virtex-ml507 machine type.

Previously in order to handle the edge sensitive decrementers, we choose to set the decrementer to 1 to trigger a decrementer interrupt when re-enabling interrupts. But with the rework of the lazy EE, we would replay the decrementer interrupt when re-enabling interrupts if a decrementer interrupt occurs with irq soft-disabled. So there is no need to trigger a decrementer interrupt in this case any more. Signed-off-by:

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney: "I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing. This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions: 1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle. This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle() tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously) confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not. This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and therefore random memory corruption. 2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks. Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock. 3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels, but really does occur in randconfig testing.
