      powerpc: Consolidate ipi message mux and demux · 23d72bfd
      Milton Miller 提交于
      Consolidate the mux and demux of ipi messages into smp.c and call
      a new smp_ops callback to actually trigger the ipi.
      
      The powerpc architecture code is optimised for having 4 distinct
      ipi triggers, which are mapped to 4 distinct messages (ipi many, ipi
      single, scheduler ipi, and enter debugger).  However, several interrupt
      controllers only provide a single software triggered interrupt that
      can be delivered to each cpu.  To resolve this limitation, each smp_ops
      implementation created a per-cpu variable that is manipulated with atomic
      bitops.  Since these lines will be contended they are optimialy marked as
      shared_aligned and take a full cache line for each cpu.  Distro kernels
      may have 2 or 3 of these in their config, each taking per-cpu space
      even though at most one will be in use.
      
      This consolidation removes smp_message_recv and replaces the single call
      actions cases with direct calls from the common message recognition loop.
      The complicated debugger ipi case with its muxed crash handling code is
      moved to debug_ipi_action which is now called from the demux code (instead
      of the multi-message action calling smp_message_recv).
      
      I put a call to reschedule_action to increase the likelyhood of correctly
      merging the anticipated scheduler_ipi() hook coming from the scheduler
      tree; that single required call can be inlined later.
      
      The actual message decode is a copy of the old pseries xics code with its
      memory barriers and cache line spacing, augmented with a per-cpu unsigned
      long based on the book-e doorbell code.  The optional data is set via a
      callback from the implementation and is passed to the new cause-ipi hook
      along with the logical cpu number.  While currently only the doorbell
      implemntation uses this data it should be almost zero cost to retrieve and
      pass it -- it adds a single register load for the argument from the same
      cache line to which we just completed a store and the register is dead
      on return from the call.  I extended the data element from unsigned int
      to unsigned long in case some other code wanted to associate a pointer.
      
      The doorbell check_self is replaced by a call to smp_muxed_ipi_resend,
      conditioned on the CPU_DBELL feature.  The ifdef guard could be relaxed
      to CONFIG_SMP but I left it with BOOKE for now.
      
      Also, the doorbell interrupt vector for book-e was not calling irq_enter
      and irq_exit, which throws off cpu accounting and causes code to not
      realize it is running in interrupt context.  Add the missing calls.

      powerpc: Remove checks for MSG_ALL and MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF · f1072939
      Milton Miller 提交于
      Now that smp_ops->smp_message_pass is always called with an (online) cpu
      number for the target remove the checks for MSG_ALL and MSG_ALL_BUT_SELF.

      powerpc/xics: Rewrite XICS driver · 0b05ac6e
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to
      conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest.
      
      The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms
      to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For
      now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common
      RTAS ICS backend.
      
      The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones,
      in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different
      interrupt "sources" mechanisms.
