      powerpc/perf: Move perf core & PMU code into a subdirectory · f2699491
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
      warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
      oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
      grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
      
      While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
      of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
      original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.

      fadump: Invalidate registration and release reserved memory for general use. · b500afff
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      This patch introduces an sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem' to
      invalidate the last fadump registration, invalidate '/proc/vmcore', release
      the reserved memory for general use and re-register for future kernel dump.
      Once the dump is copied to the disk, unlike phyp dump, the userspace tool
      can release all the memory reserved for dump with one single operation of
      echo 1 to '/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem'.
      
      Release the reserved memory region excluding the size of the memory required
      for future kernel dump registration. And therefore, unlike kdump, Fadump
      doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back the system to the production
      configuration.

      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      When registered for firmware assisted dump on powerpc, firmware preserves
      the registers for the active CPUs during a system crash. This patch reads
      the cpu register data stored in Firmware-assisted dump format (except for
      crashing cpu) and converts it into elf notes and updates the PT_NOTE program
      header accordingly. The exact register state for crashing cpu is saved to
      fadump crash info structure in scratch area during crash_fadump() and read
      during second kernel boot.

      fadump: Initialize elfcore header and add PT_LOAD program headers. · 2df173d9
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      Build the crash memory range list by traversing through system memory during
      the first kernel before we register for firmware-assisted dump. After the
      successful dump registration, initialize the elfcore header and populate
      PT_LOAD program headers with crash memory ranges. The elfcore header is
      saved in the scratch area within the reserved memory. The scratch area starts
      at the end of the memory reserved for saving RMR region contents. The
      scratch area contains fadump crash info structure that contains magic number
      for fadump validation and physical address where the eflcore header can be
      found. This structure will also be used to pass some important crash info
      data to the second kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core
      header with correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. Since
      the firmware preserves the entire partition memory at the time of crash the
      contents of the scratch area will be preserved till second kernel boot.
      
      Since the memory dump exported through /proc/vmcore is in ELF format similar
      to kdump, it will help us to reuse the kdump infrastructure for dump capture
      and filtering. Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any
      sysfs interface while reading /proc/vmcore.
      
      NOTE: The current design implementation does not address a possibility of
      introducing additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
      compatibility. It's on TODO list to come up with better approach to
      address this.

      fadump: Reserve the memory for firmware assisted dump. · eb39c880
      Mahesh Salgaonkar 提交于
      Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
      and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
      crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
      RMA region data to the reserved memory area.
      
      If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
      to existing kexec-based kdump.
      
      Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
      adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
      and Manish Ahuja
      
      This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
      assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

      powerpc/mpic: Remove duplicate MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag · e55d7f73
      Kyle Moffett 提交于
      There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is
      reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only
      one of them can be specified in the device tree.
      
      Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the
      MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code
      passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag.
      
      Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
      flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET
      flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

      powerpc/mpic: Remove MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS and duplicate irq_count · 5019609f
      Kyle Moffett 提交于
      The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking
      limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid.  In board code
      which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it
      is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size.
      
      In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all
      of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of
      mpic->num_sources instead.
      
      When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs,
      which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS
      flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the
      manual irq_count parameter.  Since there's no need to manually specify
      the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated
      and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

      Unfortunately, even now that it works properly, the Freescale mpic
      device-node (the "PowerQUICC-III"-compatible one) does not specify it,

      The mpic_alloc() function takes a "flags" parameter and assigns it into

      Consolidate the device-tree flag tests early in mpic_alloc() and change
