      powerpc: Check rc of notifier chain for memory remove · 525c411d
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      The return code from invocation of the notifier for
      pSeries_reconfig_chain during update of the device tree is not
      checked.  This causes writes to /proc/ppc64/ofdt to update memory
      properties (i.e. ibm,dyamic-reconfiguration-memory) to always
      return success, instead of the result of the notifier chain.
      
      This happens specifically when we remove/add memory from the
      device tree on machines using memory specified in the
      ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory property of the device tree.

      powerpc/pseries: Update the device tree correctly for drconf memory add/remove · 3c3f67ea
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      This updates the device tree manipulation routines so that memory
      add/remove of lmbs represented under the
      ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node of the device tree invokes the
      hotplug notifier chain.
      
      This change is needed because of the change in the way memory is
      represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node.  All lmbs
      are described in the ibm,dynamic-memory property instead of having a
      separate node for each lmb as in previous device tree layouts.  This
      requires the update_node() routine to check for updates to the
      ibm,dynamic-memory property and invoke the hotplug notifier chain.
      
      This also updates the pseries hotplug notifier to be able to gather information
      for lmbs represented under the ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node and
      have the lmbs added/removed.

      powerpc/pseries: Allow phandle to be specified in formats other than decimal · 4b6e805e
      Nathan Fontenot 提交于
      Allow the phandle passed to the /proc/ppc64/ofdt file to be specified
      in formats other than decimal.  This allows us to easily specify phandle
      values in hex that would otherwise appear as negative integers.
      
      This is an issue on systems where the value of
      /proc/device-tree/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory.ibm,phandle is
      fffffff9.  Having to pass this to the ofdt file as a string results in
      a large negative number, and simple_strtoul() does not handle negative
      numbers.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers · e8222502
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
      powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
      board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
      macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
      device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
      
      We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
      _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
      changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
      _machine.

      [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes · e041c683
      Alan Stern 提交于
      The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe.  There is no
      protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
      chain is in use.  The issues were discussed in this thread:
      
          http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
      
      We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
      classes:
      
      	"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
      	and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
      
      	"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
      	the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
      
      We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API.  Therefore
      this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
      notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
      really just the old API under a new name).  New kinds of data structures are
      used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
      registration, unregistration, and calling a chain.  The three APIs are
      explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
      kernel/sys.c.
      
      With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
      links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
      entries being added or removed.  For raw chains the implementation provides no
      guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections.  (The
      idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
      blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
      handle these things in their own way.)
      
      There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with.  For
      atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
      a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem.  Also, a
      callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
      entries on its own chain.  (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
      had to be changed to avoid it.)
      
      Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
      spinlocks for synchronization.  Instead we use RCU.  The overhead falls almost
      entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
      less frequent that calling a chain.
      
      Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications.  None
      of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.
      
        ATOMIC CHAINS
        -------------
      arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
      arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
      arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain

      kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
      kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
      net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
      net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
      net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
      net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain
      
        BLOCKING CHAINS
        ---------------
      arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
      arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
      arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
      drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
      drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
      drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
      drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
      drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
      kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
      kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
      kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
      kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
      kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
      net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
      net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
      net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain
      
      It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong.  If they are,
      please let us know or submit a patch to fix them.  Note that any chain that
      gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
      used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
      (However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
      atomic.)
      
      The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
      material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
      Morton.

      [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree · 5f64f739
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
      device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:
      
       - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
         exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
         simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
         /proc with random result...
      
       - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
         address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
         buggy and didn't always work anyway.
      
       - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
         node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
         the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
         dentry and inode cache bloat.
      
      This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
      accurate view of the tree presented to userland.
