When adding cpuidle support to pSeries, we introduced two
regressions:
- The new cpuidle backend driver only works under hypervisors
supporting the "SLPLAR" option, which isn't the case of the
old POWER4 hypervisor and the HV "light" used on js2x blades
- The cpuidle driver registers fairly late, meaning that for
a significant portion of the boot process, we end up having
all threads spinning. This slows down the boot process and
increases the overall resource usage if the hypervisor has
shared processors.
This fixes both by implementing a "default" idle that will cede
to the hypervisor when possible, in a very simple way without
all the bells and whisles of cpuidle.

As a part of pseries_idle backend driver cleanup to make
the code common to both pseries and powernv platforms, it
is necessary to move the backend-driver code to drivers/cpuidle.
As a pre-requisite for that, it is essential to move plpar_wrapper.h
to include/asm.

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. This is done by overwriting the weak
pcibios_root_bridge_prepare function which is called by
pci_create_root_bus().

5 bits
The firmware_has_feature() function makes it easy to check for supported
features of the hypervisor. This patch extends the capability of
firmware_has_feature() to include checking for specified bits
in vector 5 of the architecture vector as reported in the device tree.
As part of this the #defines used for the architecture vector are re-defined
such that each option has the index into vector 5 and the feature bit encoded
into it. This makes checking for architecture bits when initiating data
for firmware_has_feature much easier.

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be
able to account the cputime without using the tick.
Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by
hooking into kernel/user boundaries.
However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require
low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already
have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required
for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick
outside idle.
This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime
accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks.
There are some upsides of doing this:
- This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full
tickless mode).
- We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically
(de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual
and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead
of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically.
And one downside:
- There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime
accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

For PR KVM we allow userspace to map 0xc000000000000000. Because
transitioning from userspace to the guest kernel may use the relocated
exception vectors we have to disable relocation on exceptions whenever
PR KVM is active as we cannot trust that address.
This issue does not apply to HV KVM, since changing from a guest to the
hypervisor will never use the relocated exception vectors.
Currently the hypervisor interface only allows us to toggle relocation
on exceptions on a partition wide scope, so we need to globally disable
relocation on exceptions when the first PR KVM instance is started and
only re-enable them when all PR KVM instances have been destroyed.
It's a bit heavy handed, but until the hypervisor gives us a lightweight
way to toggle relocation on exceptions on a single thread it's only real
option.

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.
Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

Currently, we have 3 phases for EEH initialization on pSeries platform.
All of them are done through builtin functions: platform initialization,
EEH device creation, and EEH subsystem enablement. All of them are done
no later than ppc_md.setup_arch. That means that the slab/slub isn't ready
yet, so we have to allocate memory chunks on basis of PAGE_SIZE for those
dynamically created EEH devices. That's pretty expensive.
In order to utilize slab/slub for memory allocation, we have to move the EEH
initialization functions around, but all of them should be called after slab
is ready.

Original EEH implementation depends on struct pci_dn heavily. However,
EEH shouldn't depend on that actually because EEH needn't share much
information with other PCI components. That's to say, EEH should have
worked independently.
The patch introduces struct eeh_dev so that EEH core components needn't
be working based on struct pci_dn in future. Also, struct pci_dn, struct
eeh_dev instances are created in dynamic fasion and the binding with EEH
device, OF node, PCI device is implemented as well.
The EEH devices are created after PHBs are detected and initialized, but
PCI emunation hasn't started yet. Apart from that, PHB might be created
dynamically through DLPAR component and the EEH devices should be creatd
as well. Another case might be OF node is created dynamically by DR
(Dynamic Reconfiguration), which has been defined by PAPR. For those OF
nodes created by DR, EEH devices should be also created accordingly. The
binding between EEH device and OF node is done while the EEH device is
initially created.
The binding between EEH device and PCI device should be done after PCI
emunation is done. Besides, PCI hotplug also needs the binding so that
the EEH devices could be traced from the newly coming PCI buses or PCI
devices.

EEH has been implemented on RTAS-compliant pSeries platform.
That's to say, the EEH operations will be implemented through RTAS
calls eventually. The situation limited feasible extension on EEH.
In order to support EEH on multiple platforms like pseries and powernv
simutaneously. We have to split the platform dependent EEH options
up out of current implementation.
The patch addresses supporting EEH on multiple platforms. The pseries
platform dependent EEH operations will be abstracted by struct eeh_ops.
EEH core components will be built based on the registered EEH operations.
With the mechanism, what the individual platform needs to do is implement
platform dependent EEH operations.
For now, the pseries platform is covered under the mechanism. That means
we have to think about other platforms to support EEH, like powernv.
Besides, we only have framework for the mechanism and we have to implement
it for pseries platform later.

There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is
reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only
one of them can be specified in the device tree.
Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the
MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code
passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag.
Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking
limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid. In board code
which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it
is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size.
In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all
of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of
mpic->num_sources instead.
When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs,
which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS
flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the
manual irq_count parameter. Since there's no need to manually specify
the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated
and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

We've had a 180 second panic timeout on ppc64 for as long as I
can remember. This patch reduces it to 10 seconds on pseries for a few
reasons:
- Almost all pseries machines have a hypervisor console so panic
output will be available in a scrollback buffer.
- The 180 seconds impacts our availability, users (other than
kernel hackers) just want the box to come back around so it
can continue its work.
- I spend a lot of my life staring at the 180 second panic timeout.
Many pseries machines take minutes to power cycle, so it's quicker
to sit through the 180 seconds than it is to power cycle.

On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
really just a transport to the service processor which implements
them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
"hvsi" serial ports.
The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
(/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
(/dev/hvsi0).
However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
in "raw" mode so that:
- It now supports HVSI as well
- We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
- It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
over our current situation:
- The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
- The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
supported for the "raw" mode).
I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
- I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
- Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
detecting a up->down transition on CD.

Future releases of fimrware will enforce a requirement that DTL buffers
do not cross a 4k boundary. Commit
127493d5dc73589cbe00ea5ec8357cc2a4c0d82a satisfies this requirement for
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y kernels, but if !CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
&& CONFIG_DTL=y, the current code will fail at dtl registration time.
Fix this by making the kmem cache from
127493d5dc73589cbe00ea5ec8357cc2a4c0d82a visible outside of setup.c and
using the same cache in both dtl.c and setup.c. This requires a bit of
reorganization to ensure ordering of the kmem cache and buffer
allocations.
Note: Since firmware now limits the size of the buffer, I made
dtl_buf_entries read-only in debugfs.
Tested with upcoming firmware with the 4 combinations of
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_DTL.

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.

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.

Currently, when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is enabled, we use the
PURR register for measuring the user and system time used by
processes, as well as other related times such as hardirq and
softirq times. This turns out to be quite confusing for users
because it means that a program will often be measured as taking
less time when run on a multi-threaded processor (SMT2 or SMT4 mode)
than it does when run on a single-threaded processor (ST mode), even
though the program takes longer to finish. The discrepancy is
accounted for as stolen time, which is also confusing, particularly
when there are no other partitions running.
This changes the accounting to use the timebase instead, meaning that
the reported user and system times are the actual number of real-time
seconds that the program was executing on the processor thread,
regardless of which SMT mode the processor is in. Thus a program will
generally show greater user and system times when run on a
multi-threaded processor than on a single-threaded processor.
On pSeries systems on POWER5 or later processors, we measure the
stolen time (time when this partition wasn't running) using the
hypervisor dispatch trace log. We check for new entries in the
log on every entry from user mode and on every transition from
kernel process context to soft or hard IRQ context (i.e. when
account_system_vtime() gets called). So that we can correctly
distinguish time stolen from user time and time stolen from system
time, without having to check the log on every exit to user mode,
we store separate timestamps for exit to user mode and entry from
user mode.
On systems that have a SPURR (POWER6 and POWER7), we read the SPURR
in account_system_vtime() (as before), and then apportion the SPURR
ticks since the last time we read it between scaled user time and
scaled system time according to the relative proportions of user
time and system time over the same interval. This avoids having to
read the SPURR on every kernel entry and exit. On systems that have
PURR but not SPURR (i.e., POWER5), we do the same using the PURR
rather than the SPURR.
This disables the DTL user interface in /sys/debug/kernel/powerpc/dtl
for now since it conflicts with the use of the dispatch trace log
by the time accounting code.

Right now if we want to busy loop and not give up any time to the hypervisor
we put a very large value into smt_snooze_delay. This is sometimes useful
when running a single partition and you want to avoid any latencies due
to the hypervisor or CPU power state transitions. While this works, it's a bit
ugly - how big a number is enough now we have NO_HZ and can be idle for a very
long time.
The patch below makes smt_snooze_delay signed, and a negative value means loop
forever:
echo -1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/smt_snooze_delay
This change shouldn't affect the existing userspace tools (eg ppc64_cpu), but
I'm cc-ing Nathan just to be sure.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries
machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile
will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next
time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter
won't count anything.
Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem:
- oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want
to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca.
This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore
the PMU config.
- The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly
as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear
when it finishes.
- oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs,
which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular
it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag.
This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set
the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call
ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function
directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller.
This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it
isn't defined anywhere.
