      of: Make device nodes kobjects so they show up in sysfs · 75b57ecf
      Grant Likely 提交于
      Device tree nodes are already treated as objects, and we already want to
      expose them to userspace which is done using the /proc filesystem today.
      Right now the kernel has to do a lot of work to keep the /proc view in
      sync with the in-kernel representation. If device_nodes are switched to
      be kobjects then the device tree code can be a whole lot simpler. It
      also turns out that switching to using /sysfs from /proc results in
      smaller code and data size, and the userspace ABI won't change if
      /proc/device-tree symlinks to /sys/firmware/devicetree/base.
      
      v7: Add missing sysfs_bin_attr_init()
      v6: Add __of_add_property() early init fixes from Pantelis
      v5: Rename firmware/ofw to firmware/devicetree
          Fix updating property values in sysfs
      v4: Fixed build error on Powerpc
          Fixed handling of dynamic nodes on powerpc
      v3: Fixed handling of duplicate attribute and child node names
      v2: switch to using sysfs bin_attributes which solve the problem of
          reporting incorrect property size.

      mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify · e97ca8e5
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
      remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
      does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
      when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
      without GFP_THISNODE set.
      
      However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
      aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
      triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
      migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
      memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
      concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.
      
      Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
      to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
      at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
      kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
      happen when memory is full.

      powerpc/powernv Platform dump interface · c7e64b9c
      Stewart Smith 提交于
      This enables support for userspace to fetch and initiate FSP and
      Platform dumps from the service processor (via firmware) through sysfs.
      
      Based on original patch from Vasant Hegde <hegdevasant@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
      Flow:
        - We register for OPAL notification events.
        - OPAL sends new dump available notification.
        - We make information on dump available via sysfs
        - Userspace requests dump contents
        - We retrieve the dump via OPAL interface
        - User copies the dump data
        - userspace sends ack for dump
        - We send ACK to OPAL.
      
      sysfs files:
        - We add the /sys/firmware/opal/dump directory
        - echoing 1 (well, anything, but in future we may support
          different dump types) to /sys/firmware/opal/dump/initiate_dump
          will initiate a dump.
        - Each dump that we've been notified of gets a directory
          in /sys/firmware/opal/dump/ with a name of the dump type and ID (in hex,
          as this is what's used elsewhere to identify the dump).
        - Each dump has files: id, type, dump and acknowledge
          dump is binary and is the dump itself.
          echoing 'ack' to acknowledge (currently any string will do) will
          acknowledge the dump and it will soon after disappear from sysfs.
      
      OPAL APIs:
        - opal_dump_init()
        - opal_dump_info()
        - opal_dump_read()
        - opal_dump_ack()
        - opal_dump_resend_notification()
      
      Currently we are only ever notified for one dump at a time (until
      the user explicitly acks the current dump, then we get a notification
      of the next dump), but this kernel code should "just work" when OPAL
      starts notifying us of all the dumps present.

      powerpc/powernv: Read OPAL error log and export it through sysfs · 774fea1a
      Stewart Smith 提交于
      Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
      This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export
      them to userspace through a sysfs interface.
      
      We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/
      
      Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't
      need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that
      is actually largely transparent to us.
      
      Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw.
      Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute.
      In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit
      easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in
      petitboot without having to have a full parser).
      
      If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until
      userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in
      the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side.
      
      A userspace daemon should:
      - wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation)
      - read error log entry
      - save error log entry safely to disk
      - acknowledge the error log entry
      - rinse, repeat.
      
      On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This
      possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand.
      However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we
      read the error log immediately when notified at the moment.
      
      I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the
      linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with
      the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.
