2014-04-07powerpc/ppc64: Gracefully handle early interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
If we take an interrupt such as a trap caused by a BUG_ON before the MMU has been setup, the interrupt handlers try to enable virutal mode and cause a recursive crash, making the original problem very hard to debug. This fixes it by adjusting the "kernel_msr" value in the PACA so that it only has MSR_IR and MSR_DR (translation for instruction and data) set after the MMU has been initialized for the processor. We may still not have a console yet but at least we don't get into a recursive fault (and early debug console or memory dump via JTAG of the kernel buffer *will* give us the proper error).

2014-01-09powerpc/e6500: TLB miss handler with hardware tablewalk supportScott Wood
There are a few things that make the existing hw tablewalk handlers unsuitable for e6500: - Indirect entries go in TLB1 (though the resulting direct entries go in TLB0). - It has threads, but no "tlbsrx." -- so we need a spinlock and a normal "tlbsx". Because we need this lock, hardware tablewalk is mandatory on e6500 unless we want to add spinlock+tlbsx to the normal bolted TLB miss handler. - TLB1 has no HES (nor next-victim hint) so we need software round robin (TODO: integrate this round robin data with hugetlb/KVM) - The existing tablewalk handlers map half of a page table at a time, because IBM hardware has a fixed 1MiB indirect page size. e6500 has variable size indirect entries, with a minimum of 2MiB. So we can't do the half-page indirect mapping, and even if we could it would be less efficient than mapping the full page. - Like on e5500, the linear mapping is bolted, so we don't need the overhead of supporting nested tlb misses. Note that hardware tablewalk does not work in rev1 of e6500. We do not expect to support e6500 rev1 in mainline Linux.

2013-12-09powerpc: Dynamically allocate slb_shadow from memblockJeremy Kerr
Currently, the slb_shadow buffer is our largest symbol: [jk@pablo linux]$ nm --size-sort -r -S obj/vmlinux | head -1 c000000000da0000 0000000000040000 d slb_shadow - we allocate 128 bytes per cpu; so 256k with NR_CPUS=2048. As we have constant initialisers, it's allocated in .text, causing a larger vmlinux image. We may also allocate unecessary slb_shadow buffers (> no. pacas), since we use the build-time NR_CPUS rather than the run-time nr_cpu_ids. We could move this to the bss, but then we still have the NR_CPUS vs nr_cpu_ids potential for overallocation. This change dynamically allocates the slb_shadow array, during initialise_pacas(). At a cost of 104 bytes of text, we save 256k of data: [jk@pablo linux]$ size obj/vmlinux{.orig,} text data bss dec hex filename 9202795 5244676 1169576 15617047 ee4c17 obj/vmlinux.orig 9202899 4982532 1169576 15355007 ea4c7f obj/vmlinux Tested on pseries.

2011-07-12powerpc, KVM: Split HVMODE_206 cpu feature bit into separate HV and ↵Paul Mackerras
architecture bits This replaces the single CPU_FTR_HVMODE_206 bit with two bits, one to indicate that we have a usable hypervisor mode, and another to indicate that the processor conforms to PowerISA version 2.06. We also add another bit to indicate that the processor conforms to ISA version 2.01 and set that for PPC970 and derivatives. Some PPC970 chips (specifically those in Apple machines) have a hypervisor mode in that MSR[HV] is always 1, but the hypervisor mode is not useful in the sense that there is no way to run any code in supervisor mode (HV=0 PR=0). On these processors, the LPES0 and LPES1 bits in HID4 are always 0, and we use that as a way of detecting that hypervisor mode is not useful. Where we have a feature section in assembly code around code that only applies on POWER7 in hypervisor mode, we use a construct like END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_HVMODE | CPU_FTR_ARCH_206) The definition of END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET is such that the code will be enabled (not overwritten with nops) only if all bits in the provided mask are set. Note that the CPU feature check in __tlbie() only needs to check the ARCH_206 bit, not the HVMODE bit, because __tlbie() can only get called if we are running bare-metal, i.e. in hypervisor mode.

2011-03-10powerpc/iseries: Fix early init access to lppacaBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The combination of commit 8154c5d22d91cd16bd9985b0638c8957e4688d0e and 93c22703efa72c7527dbd586d1951c1f4a85fd70 Broke boot on iSeries. The problem is that iSeries very early boot code, which generates the device-tree and runs before our normal early initializations does need access the lppaca's very early, before the PACA array is initialized, and in fact even before the boot PACA has been initialized (it contains all 0's at this stage). However, the first patch above makes that code use the new llpaca_of(cpu) accessor, which itself is changed by the second patch to use the PACA array. We fix that by reverting iSeries to directly dereferencing the array. In addition, we fix all iterators in the iSeries code to always skip CPU whose number is above 63 which is the maximum size of that array and the maximum number of supported CPUs on these machines. Additionally, we make sure the boot_paca is properly initialized in our early startup code. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-09-02powerpc: Dynamically allocate most lppaca structsPaul Mackerras
This arranges for the lppaca structs for most cpus to be dynamically allocated in the same manner as the paca structs. If we don't include support for legacy iSeries, only the first lppaca is statically allocated; the rest are dynamically allocated. If we include legacy iSeries support, then we statically allocate the first 64 lppaca structs, since the iSeries hypervisor requires that the lppaca structs be present in the data section of the kernel image, but legacy iSeries supports at most 64 cpus. With CONFIG_NR_CPUS, the kernel image size for a typical pSeries config went from: text data bss dec hex filename 9524478 4734564 8469944 22728986 15ad11a ../test-1024/vmlinux to: text data bss dec hex filename 9524482 3751508 8469944 21745934 14bd10e ../test-1024/vmlinux a reduction of 983052 bytes overall.

2010-05-21powerpc/kexec: Fix race in kexec shutdownMichael Neuling
In kexec_prepare_cpus, the primary CPU IPIs the secondary CPUs to kexec_smp_down(). kexec_smp_down() calls kexec_smp_wait() which sets the hw_cpu_id() to -1. The primary does this while leaving IRQs on which means the primary can take a timer interrupt which can lead to the IPIing one of the secondary CPUs (say, for a scheduler re-balance) but since the secondary CPU now has a hw_cpu_id = -1, we IPI CPU -1... Kaboom! We are hitting this case regularly on POWER7 machines. There is also a second race, where the primary will tear down the MMU mappings before knowing the secondaries have entered real mode. Also, the secondaries are clearing out any pending IPIs before guaranteeing that no more will be received. This changes kexec_prepare_cpus() so that we turn off IRQs in the primary CPU much earlier. It adds a paca flag to say that the secondaries have entered the kexec_smp_down() IPI and turned off IRQs, rather than overloading hw_cpu_id with -1. This new paca flag is again used to in indicate when the secondaries has entered real mode. It also ensures that all CPUs have their IRQs off before we clear out any pending IPI requests (in kexec_cpu_down()) to ensure there are no trailing IPIs left unacknowledged.

2010-03-09powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacasMichael Ellerman
On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus. We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system. The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas, but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any unused pacas.

2008-09-15powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executablePaul Mackerras
This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-09-15powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernelPaul Mackerras
This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

2006-03-27[PATCH] powerpc: Allow non zero boot cpuidsAnton Blanchard
We currently have a hack to flip the boot cpu and its secondary thread to logical cpuid 0 and 1. This means the logical - physical mapping will differ depending on which cpu is boot cpu. This is most apparent on kexec, where we might kexec on any cpu and therefore change the mapping from boot to boot. The patch below does a first pass early on to work out the logical cpuid of the boot thread. We then fix up some paca structures to match. Ive also removed the boot_cpuid_phys variable for ppc64, to be consistent we use get_hard_smp_processor_id(boot_cpuid) everywhere.

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level per-cpu structure. This doesn't have to be so, the patch below removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures. This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and hypervisor portions of every PACA. On the other hand it means an extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The hypervisor locates this area through a pointer at the beginning of the paca, so the structure itself can be located elsewhere. This patch moves the reg_save area out into its own array. This reduces the amount of iSeries specific gunk which is visible to general powerpc code via paca.h Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR and iSeries RS64.

2005-11-11[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platformsPaul Mackerras
This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used, systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed _systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch), _machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S is also turned into C code.

2005-11-10[PATCH] powerpc: Move various ppc64 files with no ppc32 equivalent to powerpcDavid Gibson
This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are: abs_addr.h compat.h lppaca.h paca.h tce.h cpu_setup_power4.S ioctl32.c firmware.c pacaData.c The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile changes are: - #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form - trailing whitespace removed - comments giving full paths removed - pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps - Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
