      powerpc/powernv: Override dma_get_required_mask() · fe7e85c6
      Gavin Shan 提交于
      The dma_get_required_mask() function is used by some drivers to
      query the platform about what DMA mask is needed to cover all of
      memory. This is a bit of a strange semantic when we have to choose
      between IOMMU translation or bypass, but essentially what it means
      is "what DMA mask will give best performances".
      
      Currently, our IOMMU backend always returns a 32-bit mask here, we
      don't do anything special to it when we have bypass available. This
      causes some drivers to choose a 32-bit mask, thus losing the ability
      to use the bypass window, thinking this is more efficient. The problem
      was reported from the driver of following device:
      
      0004:03:00.0 0107: 1000:0087 (rev 05)
      0004:03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios \
                   Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05)
      
      This patch adds an override of that function in order to, instead,
      return a 64-bit mask whenever a bypass window is available in order
      for drivers to prefer this configuration.

      powerpc/powernv: Add support for POWER8 split core on powernv · e2186023
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the
      core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to
      appear as full cores to a guest.
      
      The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at
      length in the comments within the patch.
      
      One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull
      offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure.
      
      The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg:
      
       $ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core
      
      Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that
      the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes
      correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2.
      
      We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to
      prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to
      prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to
      be run.

      benh.  Fix for irq race by paulus.  The rest by mikey and mpe.

      powerpc/powernv: Add iommu DMA bypass support for IODA2 · cd15b048
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch adds the support for to create a direct iommu "bypass"
      window on IODA2 bridges (such as Power8) allowing to bypass iommu
      page translation completely for 64-bit DMA capable devices, thus
      significantly improving DMA performances.
      
      Additionally, this adds a hook to the struct iommu_table so that
      the IOMMU API / VFIO can disable the bypass when external ownership
      is requested, since in that case, the device will be used by an
      environment such as userspace or a KVM guest which must not be
      allowed to bypass translations.
