2013-05-14powerpc/booke64: Fix kernel hangs at kernel_dbg_excScott Wood2-4/+11
MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0 (e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new debug state. Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap (e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch. We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was intended in the 64-bit code as well.

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those threads are taken back offline. During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline (H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200 bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below call trace).

2013-05-14powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec when using VMX optimised memcpyAnton Blanchard1-0/+4
commit b3f271e86e5a (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to save the current tasks' VMX state. kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr we get a cryptic oops or lockup. I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.

2013-05-08powerpc/powernv: Properly drop characters if console is closedBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+7
If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware error), we should drop characters. Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2 APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(), which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work). However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors or closed console, to spin forever.

This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware which may not have a working console but which has a method of reading/writing kernel memory.

2013-05-07powerpc: Make hard_irq_disable() do the right thing vs. irq tracingBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-9/+7
If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled (which is the most common case) all is already well. However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that the irqs are going off. We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular dependency hell hole. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2013-05-06powerpc/pci: Support per-aperture memory offsetBenjamin Herrenschmidt10-104/+54
The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses. This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset (basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows. This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed but this will be a more invasive change.

Some devices don't have a correct node ID and thus can't be attached to an iommu.

2013-05-06irqdomain: Allow quiet failure modeBenjamin Herrenschmidt2-6/+28
Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as "protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those machines. This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map() callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks', or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly. This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than that: - HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on typical distro configs even on modern systems. - Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick. - A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation, especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature helps desktop and mobile workloads as well. The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency. Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing two NOHZ kconfig modes: - CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of whether a CPU is idle or not. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode. - CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a CPU. The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by default. This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already. This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull request is marked RFC because: - it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is small but did not get ready in time. - it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I marked it RFC. - it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and while the components have been in testing for some time, the full combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either. - the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100% equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this feature at this point. - it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed. Without flaming us to crisp! :-) Future plans: - there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go for the 0 Hz target though. - once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do - once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running. I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long - but the final word is up to you as usual.

Merge ipc fixes and cleanups from my IPC branch. The ipc locking has always been pretty ugly, and the scalability fixes to some degree made it even less readable. We had two cases of double unlocks in error paths due to this (one rcu read unlock, one semaphore unlock), and this fixes the bugs I found while trying to clean things up a bit so that we are less likely to have more. * ipc-cleanups: ipc: simplify rcu_read_lock() in semctl_nolock() ipc: simplify semtimedop/semctl_main() common error path handling ipc: move sem_obtain_lock() rcu locking into the only caller ipc: fix double sem unlock in semctl error path ipc: move the rcu_read_lock() from sem_lock_and_putref() into callers ipc: sem_putref() does not need the semaphore lock any more ipc: move rcu_read_unlock() out of sem_unlock() and into callers
