2009-12-18powerpc: Make the CMM memory hotplug awareRobert Jennings
The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug memory remove operation. This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier. The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the used pages in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier chain). The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be removed. The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations that fail due to other handlers. CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to adjust.

2009-12-13wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ramAlbert Herranz
The Nintendo Wii video game console has two discontiguous RAM regions: - MEM1: 24MB @ 0x00000000 - MEM2: 64MB @ 0x10000000 Unfortunately, the kernel currently does not support discontiguous RAM memory regions on 32-bit PowerPC platforms. This patch adds a series of workarounds to allow the use of the second memory region (MEM2) as RAM by the kernel. Basically, a single range of memory from the beginning of MEM1 to the end of MEM2 is reported to the kernel, and a memory reservation is created for the hole between MEM1 and MEM2. With this patch the system is able to use all the available RAM and not just ~27% of it. This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Track previous CPPR values to correctly EOI interruptsMark Nelson
At the moment when we EOI an interrupt we set the CPPR back to 0xFF regardless of its previous value. This could lead to problems if we take an interrupt with a priority of 5, but before EOIing it we get an IPI which has a priority of 4. The problem is that at the moment when we EOI the IPI we will set the CPPR to 0xFF, but it should really be set back to 5 (the previous priority). To keep track of the previous CPPR values we create the xics_cppr structure that has an array for CPPR values and an index pointing to the current priority. This can easily grow if new priorities get added in the future. This will also be useful because the partition adjunct option of upcoming machines will update the H_XIRR hcall to accept the CPPR as a parameter.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Correct pseries/dlpar.c build break without CONFIG_SMPNathan Fontenot
The recent patch to add cpu offline/online as part of the DLPAR process for pseries causes a build break if CONFIG_SMP is not defined. Original patch here; http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-November/078299.html This corrects the build break by moving the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus under the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE portions of dlpar.c. This patch also slightly modifies the online_node_cpus and offline_node_cpus routines to prepend dlpar_ to the them and make them static. These two routine are only used in the dlpar add/remove of cpus and these changes should help clarify that.

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Serialize cpu hotplug operations during deactivate Vs ↵Gautham R Shenoy
deallocate Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps: - Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node information. - Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU. This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation and "release" during deallocation. At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of the system using the sysfs tunable "online". It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail. The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable. This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on all architectures except PPC_PSERIES Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-12-09powerpc/pseries: Kernel DLPAR InfrastructureNathan Fontenot
The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call and added to the device tree. This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree updates are made.

2009-11-24powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline stateGautham R Shenoy
When a CPU is offlined on POWER currently, we call rtas_stop_self() and hand the CPU back to the resource pool. This path is used for DLPAR which will cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside. This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined. On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation, instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to returning it to the resource pool. The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the preferred_offline_state() which can be either - CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling rtas_stop_self() - CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency hint specifier. The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking cpu_down(). The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.
