      powerpc: Change the doorbell IPI calling convention · b866cc21
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Change the doorbell callers to know about their msgsnd addressing,
      rather than have them set a per-cpu target data tag at boot that gets
      sent to the cause_ipi functions. The data is only used for doorbell IPI
      functions, no other IPI types, so it makes sense to keep that detail
      local to doorbell.
      
      Have the platform code understand doorbell IPIs, rather than the
      interrupt controller code understand them. Platform code can look at
      capabilities it has available and decide which to use.

      powerpc/xive: Native exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller · 243e2511
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
      found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
      among other things.
      
      Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
      "XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
      
      This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
      backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
      the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
      
      This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
      enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
      longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
      
      A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
      recovering the lost performance (and more).
