2011-01-21powerpc: Fix corruption when grabbing FWNMI dataAnton Blanchard
The FWNMI code uses a global buffer without any locks to read the RTAS error information. If two CPUs take a machine check at once then we will corrupt this buffer. Since most FWNMI rtas messages are not of the extended type, we can create a 64bit percpu buffer and use it where possible. If we do receive an extended RTAS log then we fall back to the old behaviour of using the global buffer.

2011-01-21powerpc: Rework pseries machine check handlerAnton Blanchard
Rework pseries machine check handler: - If MSR_RI isn't set, we cannot recover even if the machine check was fully recovered - Rename nonfatal to recovered - Handle RTAS_DISP_LIMITED_RECOVERY - Use BUS_MCEERR_AR instead of BUS_ADRERR - Don't check all the RTAS error log fields when receiving a synchronous machine check. Recent versions of the pseries firmware do not fill them in during a machine check and instead send a follow up error log with the detailed information. If we see a synchronous machine check, and we came from userspace then kill the task. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-01-21powerpc: Never halt RTAS error logging after receiving an unrecoverable ↵Anton Blanchard
machine check Newer versions of the System p firwmare send a partial RTAS error log in the machine check handler with a more detailed response appearing sometime later via check event. This means at machine check time we do not have enough information to ascertain exactly what went on. Furthermore, I have found the RTAS error logs in the machine check handler contain no useful information, so halting on them makes little sense. If we want to halt it would make more sense to do it following the error log received sometime later via check event. In light of this, never halt the error log in the pseries machine check handler.

2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: dcache rationalise dget variantsNick Piggin
dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point). However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-07fs: dcache scale dentry refcountNick Piggin

2010-12-09powerpc/powermac: Make auto-loading of therm_pm72 possibleMarc Zyngier
The therm_pm72 driver, used on the PowerMac G5 range, cannot be auto-loaded, since the driver itself creates both the device node and the driver instance. Moving the device node creation to the platform setup code and adding the necessary MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() information allows the driver to be automatically loaded by udev on any semi-modern distribution. It "fixes" a major source of problem on G5 machines where the driver wasn't explicitely loaded by default, and the system would automatically shutdown under load. Tested on an Xserve G5.

Note: In cases where a caller was passing bus->number previously to iommu_table_setparms_lpar() rather than phb->bus->number, this can lead to a different value in tbl->it_busno.

2010-11-29powerpc: Add support for new hcall H_BEST_ENERGYVaidyanathan Srinivasan
Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries platforms for energy management optimizations. sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively. These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the system topology and resource mappings. The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two distinct operations that we could do for energy savings. When we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few core to save energy. The choice of the core to deactivate will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list. The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred choice. If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores, then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used. The per-cpu file /sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of the hint itself.

While at it, fix two checkpatch errors. Several non-const struct instances constified by this patch were added after the introduction of platform_suspend_ops in checkpatch.pl's list of "should be const" structs (79404849e90a41ea2109bd0e2f7c7164b0c4ce73). Patch against mainline. Inspired by hunks of the grsecurity patch, updated for newer kernels.
