Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to the calculated CRC. Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef (module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch created a symbol at 0x0: # head -2 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T reloc_start c000000000000000 T .__start This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to 0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf, including: problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract it from the CRCs in that case.

In the Power7 PMU guide: https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/ PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED. It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and documentation accordingly. This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok: - It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform. - No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point (none are listed near the interface). - Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf) would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED". - These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable, so hoping we have some wiggle room.

Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option.

The MPIC global timer is a hardware timer inside the Freescale PIC complying with OpenPIC standard. When the specified interval times out, the hardware timer generates an interrupt. The driver currently is only tested on fsl chip, but it can potentially support other global timers complying to OpenPIC standard. The two independent groups of global timer on fsl chip, group A and group B, are identical in their functionality, except that they appear at different locations within the PIC register map. The hardware timer can be cascaded to create timers larger than the default 31-bit global timers. Timer cascade fields allow configuration of up to two 63-bit timers. But These two groups of timers cannot be cascaded together. It can be used as a wakeup source for low power modes. It also could be used as periodical timer for protocols, drivers and etc. Signed-off-by: NWang Dongsheng <dongsheng.wang@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NLi Yang <leoli@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NScott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

When Jeremy introduced the new device-tree based reserve map, he made the code in early_reserve_mem_dt() bail out if it found one, thus not reserving the initrd nor processing the old style map. I hit problems with variants of kexec that didn't put the initrd in the new style map either. While these could/will be fixed, I believe we should be safe here and rather reserve more than not enough. We could have a firmware passing stuff via the new style map, and in the middle, a kexec that knows nothing about it and adding other things to the old style map. I don't see a big issue with processing both and reserving everything that needs to be. memblock_reserve() supports overlaps fine these days.

The patch set supports compression of oops messages while writing to NVRAM, this helps in capturing more of oops data to lnx,oops-log. The pstore file for oops messages will be in decompressed format making it readable. In case compression fails, the patch takes care of copying the header added by pstore and last oops_data_sz bytes of big_oops_buf to NVRAM so that we have recent oops messages in lnx,oops-log. In case decompression fails, it will result in absence of oops file but still have files (in /dev/pstore) for other partitions.

In pmu_disable() we disable the PMU by setting the FC (Freeze Counters) bit in MMCR0. In order to do this we have to read/modify/write MMCR0. It's possible that we read a value from MMCR0 which has PMAO (PMU Alert Occurred) set. When we write that value back it will cause an interrupt to occur. We will then end up in the PMU interrupt handler even though we are supposed to have just disabled the PMU. We can avoid this by making sure we never write PMAO back. We should not lose interrupts because when the PMU is re-enabled the overflowed values will cause another interrupt. We also reorder the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE so that is done after the PMU is frozen. Otherwise there is a small window between the clearing of SAMPLE_ENABLE and the setting of FC where we could take an interrupt and incorrectly see SAMPLE_ENABLE not set. This would for example change the logic in perf_read_regs().

A mistake we have made in the past is that we pull out the fields we need from the event code, but don't check that there are no unknown bits set. This means that we can't ever assign meaning to those unknown bits in future. Although we have once again failed to do this at release, it is still early days for Power8 so I think we can still slip this in and get away with it.

Similar to the facility unavailble exception, except the facilities are controlled by HFSCR. Adapt the facility_unavailable_exception() so it can be called for either the regular or Hypervisor facility unavailable exceptions.

The exception at 0xf60 is not the TM (Transactional Memory) unavailable exception, it is the "Facility Unavailable Exception", rename it as such. Flesh out the handler to acknowledge the fact that it can be called for many reasons, one of which is TM being unavailable. Use STD_EXCEPTION_COMMON() for the exception body, for some reason we had it open-coded, I've checked the generated code is identical.

KVMTEST is a macro which checks whether we are taking an exception from guest context, if so we branch out of line and eventually call into the KVM code to handle the switch. When running real guests on bare metal (HV KVM) the hardware ensures that we never take a relocation on exception when transitioning from guest to host. For PR KVM we disable relocation on exceptions ourself in kvmppc_core_init_vm(), as of commit a413f474 "Disable relocation on exceptions whenever PR KVM is active". So convert all the RELON macros to use NOTEST, and drop the remaining KVM_HANDLER() definitions we have for 0xe40 and 0xe80.
