On machines supporting the OPAL firmware version 1, the system is initially booted under pHyp. We then use a special hypercall to verify if OPAL is available and if it is, we then trigger a "takeover" which disables pHyp and loads the OPAL runtime firmware, giving control to the kernel in hypervisor mode. This patch add the necessary code to detect that the OPAL takeover capability is present when running under PowerVM (aka pHyp) and perform said takeover to get hypervisor control of the processor. To perform the takeover, we must first use RTAS (within Open Firmware runtime environment) to start all processors & threads, in order to give control to OPAL on all of them. We then call the takeover hypercall on everybody, OPAL will re-enter the kernel main entry point passing it a flat device-tree. 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.

This adds more generic support for doing CPU hotplug with a simple idle loop and no actual reset of the processors. The generic smp_generic_kick_cpu() does the hotplug bringup trick if the PACA shows that the CPU has already been started at boot and we provide an accessor for the CPU state.

When chasing a performance issue on ppc64, I noticed tasks communicating via a pipe would often end up on different nodes. It turns out SD_WAKE_AFFINE is not set in our node defition. Commit 9fcd18c9 (sched: re-tune balancing) enabled SD_WAKE_AFFINE in the node definition for x86 and we need a similar change for ppc64. I used lmbench lat_ctx and perf bench pipe to verify this fix. Each benchmark was run 10 times and the average taken. lmbench lat_ctx: before: 66565 ops/sec after: 204700 ops/sec 3.1x faster perf bench pipe: before: 5.6570 usecs after: 1.3470 usecs 4.2x faster Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

In SMP mode, the kernel would produce call trace when resumed from hibernation. The reason is when the function destroy_context is called to drop the resuming mm context, the mm->context.active is 1 which is wrong and should be zero. We pass the current->active_mm as previous mm context to function switch_mmu_context to decrease the context.active by 1. In UP mode, there is no effect.

u64 is used rather than phys_addr_t to keep things simple, as this is called from assembly code. Update callers to pass a 64-bit address in r3/r4. Other unused register assignments that were once parameters to machine_init are dropped. For FSL BookE, look up the physical address of the device tree from the effective address passed in r3 by the loader. This is required for situations where memory does not start at zero (due to AMP or IOMMU-less virtualization), and thus the IMA doesn't start at zero, and thus the device tree effective address does not equal the physical address.

There is one place in the MPIC driver that assumes that the cores are numbered from 0 to n-1. However, this is not true if the CPUs are not numbered sequentially. This can happen on a eight-core SOC where cores two and three are removed in the device tree. So instead of blindly looping, we iterate over the discovered CPUs and use the SMP ID as the index. This means that we no longer ask the MPIC how many CPUs there are, so we also delete mpic->num_cpus. We also catch if the number of CPUs in the SOC exceeds the number that the MPIC supports. This should never happen, of course, but it's good to be sure. Signed-off-by: NTimur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Enable hugepages on Freescale BookE processors. This allows the kernel to use huge TLB entries to map pages, which can greatly reduce the number of TLB misses and the amount of TLB thrashing experienced by applications with large memory footprints. Care should be taken when using this on FSL processors, as the number of large TLB entries supported by the core is low (16-64) on current processors. The supported set of hugepage sizes include 4m, 16m, 64m, 256m, and 1g. Page sizes larger than the max zone size are called "gigantic" pages and must be allocated on the command line (and cannot be deallocated). This is currently only fully implemented for Freescale 32-bit BookE processors, but there is some infrastructure in the code for 64-bit BooKE.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16 bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much. However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit 59e97e4d ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good idea. On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and rwsem). That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section, causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction replacement. So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious bug to begin with.
