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.

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.

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.

This uses the hooks provided by CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO to implement a set of hooks for IO port access to use the LPC bus via OPAL calls for the first 64K of IO space Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

We add a machine_shutdown hook that frees the OPAL interrupts (so they get masked at the source and don't fire while kexec'ing) and which triggers an IODA reset on all the PCIe host bridges which will have the effect of blocking all DMAs and subsequent PCIs interrupts.

This adds support for PCI-X and PCIe on the p5ioc2 IO hub using OPAL. This includes allocating & setting up TCE tables and config space access routines. This also supports fallbacks via RTAS when OPAL is absent, using legacy TCE format pre-allocated via the device-tree (BML style) Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This adds a skeletton for the new Power "Non Virtualized" platform which will be used by machines supporting running without an hypervisor, for example in order to run KVM. These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL for which the support will be provided by later patches. The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of OPAL in various places.
