      powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flash · df17f56d
      Ravi K. Nittala 提交于
      The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is
      serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in
      progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by
      the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the
      machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan()
      also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire
      the spin_lock before issuing the request.
      
      The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other
      RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time
      on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup.
      
      Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan()
      work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS
      call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the
      system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.

      powerpc: Use one common impl. of RTAS timebase sync and use raw spinlock · c4007a2f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code,
      using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This
      moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally
      turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on
      the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally
      masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

      powerpc/rtas: Turn rtas lock into a raw spinlock · f97bb36f
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      RTAS currently uses a normal spinlock. However it can be called from
      contexts where this is not necessarily a good idea. For example, it
      can be called while syncing timebases, with the core timebase being
      frozen. Unfortunately, that will deadlock in case of lock contention
      when spinlock debugging is enabled as the spin lock debugging code
      will try to use __delay() which ... relies on the timebase being
      enabled.
      
      Also RTAS can be used in some low level IRQ handling code path so it
      may as well be a raw spinlock for -rt sake.

      [POWERPC] Fix RTAS os-term usage on kernel panic · a2b51812
      Linas Vepstas 提交于
      The rtas_os_term() routine was being called at the wrong time.
      The actual rtas call "os-term" will not ever return, and so
      calling it from the panic notifier is too early.  Instead,
      call it from the machine_reset() call.
      
      This splits the rtas_os_term() routine into two: one part to capture
      the kernel panic message, invoked during the panic notifier, and
      another part that is invoked during machine_reset().
      
      Prior to this patch, the os-term call was never being made,
      because panic_timeout was always non-zero.  Calling os-term
      helps keep the hypervisor happy!  We have to keep the hypervisor
      happy to avoid service, dump and error reporting problems.

      To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not

      xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
      xics_setup_cpu()).
      
      Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
      on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
      busy or extended busy status codes.

      powerpc: Merge machdep.h · 143a1dec
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      A few things change for consistency between ppc32 and ppc64:
      idle functions return void; *_get_boot_time functions return
      unsigned long (i.e. time_t) rather than filling in a struct rtc_time
      (since that's useful to the callers and easier for pmac to
      generate); *_get_rtc_time and *_set_rtc_time functions take
      a struct rtc_time; irq_canonicalize is gone; nvram_sync returns
      void.

      powerpc: Merge in the ppc64 version of the prom code. · 9b6b563c
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c
      and makes them work for ppc32.  This also brings in the new calling
      convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes
      to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with
      r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff.
      
      For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c.  It also
      merges lmb.h.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
