The /sys/kernel/mobility/migration interface was added all the way back in 2.6.37. However, the drmgr userspace tool was never augmented to use this interface to perfrom migrations. Instead it has continued using a faux rtas call coupled with performing the device tree update processing in userspace and communicating it back to the kernel via the ugly /proc/ppc64/ofdt interface. Up until 3.12 the device tree update code in the kernel was badly broken and bit rotting. This code was fixed in 3.12 and is now utilized by the kernel suspend code as of 3.15. The kernel is now better suited to handle the post-mobility fixup of the device tree and drmgr should be transitioned to using the sysfs migration interface. This patch introduces the api_version sysfs file to /sys/kernel/mobility as a means for drmgr to query the current implementation level of the kernel migration code. This initial versioning indicates it is capable of perfroming all current PAPR requirements for migration including the post-mobility firmware activation and device tree update.

RTAS events require arguments be passed in big endian while hypercalls have their arguments passed in registers and the values should therefore be in CPU endian. The "ibm,suspend_me" 'RTAS' call makes a sequence of hypercalls to setup one true RTAS call. This means that "ibm,suspend_me" is handled specially in the ppc_rtas() syscall. The ppc_rtas() syscall has its arguments in big endian and can therefore pass these arguments directly to the RTAS call. "ibm,suspend_me" is handled specially from within ppc_rtas() (by calling rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) which has left an endian bug on little endian systems due to the requirement of hypercalls. The return value from rtas_ibm_suspend_me() gets returned in cpu endian, and is left unconverted, also a bug on little endian systems. rtas_ibm_suspend_me() does not actually make use of the rtas_args that it is passed. This patch removes the convoluted use of the rtas_args struct to pass params to rtas_ibm_suspend_me() in favour of passing what it needs as actual arguments. This patch also ensures the two callers of rtas_ibm_suspend_me() pass function parameters in cpu endian and in the case of ppc_rtas(), converts the return value. migrate_store() (the other caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me()) is from a sysfs file which deals with everything in cpu endian so this function only underwent cleanup. This patch has been tested with KVM both LE and BE and on PowerVM both LE and BE. Under QEMU/KVM the migration happens without touching these code pathes. For PowerVM there is no obvious regression on BE and the LE code path now provides the correct parameters to the hypervisor.

A lot of the code in platforms/pseries is using non-machine initcalls. That means if a kernel built with pseries support runs on another platform, for example powernv, the initcalls will still run. Most of these cases are OK, though sometimes only due to luck. Some were having more effect: * hcall_inst_init - Checking FW_FEATURE_LPAR which is set on ps3 & celleb. * mobility_sysfs_init - created sysfs files unconditionally - but no effect due to ENOSYS from rtas_ibm_suspend_me() * apo_pm_init - created sysfs, allows write - nothing checks the value written to though * alloc_dispatch_log_kmem_cache - creating kmem_cache on non-pseries machines Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The current code makes rtas calls for update-nodes, activate-firmware and then update-nodes again. The FW provides the same data for both update-nodes calls. As a result a proc entry exists error is reported for the second update while adding device nodes. This patch makes a single rtas call for update-nodes after activating the FW. It also add rtas_busy delay for the activate-firmware rtas call.

The node to be detached is retrieved via its phandle by a call to of_find_node_by_phandle which increments the ref count.

Currently the device nodes created in the device subtree returned by a call to dlpar_configure_connector are all named in the root node. This is because the the node name in the work area returned by ibm,configure-connector rtas call only contains the node name and not the entire node path. Passing the parent node where the new subtree will be created to dlpar_configure_connector allows the correct node path to be prefixed in the full_name field.

On the first call to ibm,update-properties for a node the first property returned is the full node path. Currently this is not parsed correctly by the update_dt_node function. Commit 2e9b7b02 attempted to fix this, but was incorrect as it made a wrong assumption about the layout of the first property in the work area. Further, if ibm,update-properties must be called multiple times for the same node this special property should only be skipped after the initial call. The first property descriptor returned consists of the property name, property value length, and property value. The property name is an empty string, property length is encoded in 4 byte integer, and the property value is the node path.

The work area buffer returned by the ibm,update-properties rtas call contains 20 bytes of header information prior to the property value descriptor data. Currently update_dt_node tries to advance over this header using sizeof(upwa). The update_props_workarea struct contains 20 bytes worth of fields, that map to the relevant header data, but the sizeof the structure is 24 bytes due to 4 bytes of padding at the end of the structure. Packing the structure ensures that we don't advance too far over the rtas buffer.

The rc variable is initially used to store the return code from the ibm,update-properties rtas call which returns 0 or 1 on success. A return code of 1 indicates that ibm,update-properties must be called again for the node. However, the rc variable is overwritten by a call to update_dt_prop which returns 0 on success. This results in ibm,update-properties not being called again for the given node when the rtas call rc was previously 1.

The update_dt_prop helper function fails to set the IN/OUT parameter prop to NULL after a complete property has been parsed from the work area returned by the ibm,update-properties rtas function. This results in the property list of the device node being updated is corrupted and becomes a loop since the same property structure is used repeatedly.

Newer firmware on Power systems can transparently reassign platform resources (CPU and Memory) in use. For instance, if a processor or memory unit is predicted to fail, the platform may transparently move the processing to an equivalent unused processor or the memory state to an equivalent unused memory unit. However, reassigning resources across NUMA boundaries may alter the performance of the partition. When such reassignment is necessary, the Platform Resource Reassignment Notification (PRRN) option provides a mechanism to inform the Linux kernel of changes to the NUMA affinity of its platform resources. When rtasd receives a PRRN event, it needs to make a series of RTAS calls (ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties) to retrieve the updated device tree information. These calls are already handled in the pseries_devicetree_update() routine used in partition migration. This patch exposes pseries_devicetree_update() to make it accessible to other pseries routines, this patch also updates pseries_devicetree_update() to take a 32-bit scope parameter. The scope value, which was previously hard coded to 1 for partition migration, is used for the RTAS calls ibm,update-nodes/properties to update the device tree.

Enable partition migration in the kernel. To do this a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mobility/migration, is created. In order to initiate a migration the stream id (generated by the HMC managing the system) is written to this file. After a migration occurs, and what is the majority of this code, the device tree needs to be updated for the new system the partition is running on. This is done via the ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties rtas calls which return information regarding which nodes and properties of the device tree are to be added/removed/updated.
