2011-07-01powerpc: Add jump label supportMichael Ellerman
This patch adds support for the new "jump label" feature. Unlike x86 and sparc we just merrily patch the code with no locks etc, as far as I know this is safe, but I'm not really sure what the x86/sparc code is protecting against so maybe it's not. I also don't see any reason for us to implement the poke_early() routine, even though sparc does.

2011-06-29powerpc/pseries: Move hvsi support into a libraryBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This will allow a different backend to share it Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-06-29powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of hvc_vioBenjamin Herrenschmidt
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. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2011-06-29powerpc/book3e-64: use a separate TLB handler when linear map is boltedScott Wood
On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses. If on top of that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler. While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

2011-06-27Fix node_start/end_pfn() definition for mm/page_cgroup.cKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in /arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y. Then, we see mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init': mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn' mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn' So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea... But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and should be implemented in the same manner for all archs. (m32r has different implementation...) This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now. A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c) for !NUMA start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); for NUMA (x86-64) start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); Changelog: - fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

2011-06-27powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor vmpic driverAshish Kalra
The Freescale ePAPR reference hypervisor provides interrupt controller services via a hypercall interface, instead of emulating the MPIC controller. This is called the VMPIC. The ePAPR "virtual interrupt controller" provides interrupt controller services for external interrupts. External interrupts received by a partition can come from two sources: - Hardware interrupts - hardware interrupts come from external interrupt lines or on-chip I/O devices. - Virtual interrupts - virtual interrupts are generated by the hypervisor as part of some hypervisor service or hypervisor-created virtual device. Both types of interrupts are processed using the same programming model and same set of hypercalls.

2011-06-27powerpc: introduce ePAPR embedded hypervisor hcall interfaceTimur Tabi
ePAPR hypervisors provide operating system services via a "hypercall" interface. The following steps need to be performed to make an hcall: 1. Load r11 with the hcall number 2. Load specific other registers with parameters 3. Issue instrucion "sc 1" 4. The return code is in r3 5. Other returned parameters are in other registers. To provide this service to the kernel, these steps are wrapped in inline assembly functions. Standard ePAPR hcalls are in epapr_hcalls.h, and Freescale extensions are in fsl_hcalls.h.
