pseries/iommu: remove DDW on kexec We currently insert a property in the device-tree when we successfully configure DDW for a given slot. This was meant to be an optimization to speed up kexec/kdump, so that we don't need to make the RTAS calls again to re-configured DDW in the new kernel. However, we end up tripping a plpar_tce_stuff failure on kexec/kdump because we unconditionally parse the ibm,dma-window property for the node at bus/dev setup time. This property contains the 32-bit DMA window LIOBN, which is distinct from the DDW window's. We pass that LIOBN (via iommu_table_init -> iommu_table_clear -> tce_free -> tce_freemulti_pSeriesLP) to plpar_tce_stuff, which fails because that 32-bit window is no longer present after 25ebc45b ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: remove default window before attempting DDW manipulation"). I believe the simplest, easiest-to-maintain fix is to just change our initcall to, rather than detecting and updating the new kernel's DDW knowledge, just remove all DDW configurations. When the drivers re-initialize, we will set everything back up as it was before.

There are now two kinds of DMA windows that might be presented by PowerVM DDW support -- huge windows (that can map all of system memory regardless of the LPAR configuration) and non-huge windows (which can't). They are implemented slightly differently in PowerVM, and thus have different characteristics. The most obvious is that slot isolate doesn't clear the TCEs/window for us with non-huge windows. Thus, when a DLPAR operation occurs on a slot using a non-huge window, TCEs are still present (the notifier chain doesn't currently remove them explicitly) and the DLPAR fails. Fix this by calling remove_ddw() first, which will unmap the DDW TCEs. Note: a corresponding change to drmgr is needed to actually successfully DLPAR, such that the device-tree update (which causes the notifier chain to fire) occurs before slot isolate.

CTS-1000 is based on P4080. GPIO 27 is used to signal the FPGA to switch off power, and also associates IRQ 8 with front-panel button press (which we use to call orderly_poweroff()). The relevant device-tree looks like this: gpio0: gpio@130000 { compatible = "fsl,qoriq-gpio"; reg = <0x130000 0x1000>; interrupts = <55 2 0 0>; #gpio-cells = <2>; gpio-controller; /* Allows powering off the system via GPIO signal. */ gpio-halt@27 { compatible = "sgy,gpio-halt"; gpios = <&gpio0 27 0>; interrupts = <8 1 0 0>; }; }; Because the driver cannot match on sgy,gpio-halt (because the node is never processed through of_platform), it matches on fsl,qoriq-gpio and then checks child nodes for the matching sgy,gpio-halt. This also ensures that the GPIO controller is detected prior to sgy_cts1000's probe callback, since that node wont match via of_platform until the controller is registered. Also, because the GPIO handler for triggering system poweroff might sleep, the IRQ uses a workqueue to call orderly_poweroff(). As a final note, this driver may be expanded for other features specific to the CTS-1000.

commit f96972f2 "kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()" added a call to disable_nonboot_cpus() on kernel_restart(), which tries to shutdown all the CPUs except the first one. The issue with the PA Semi, is that it does not support CPU hotplug. When the call is made to __cpu_down(), it calls the notifiers CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, and then tries to take the CPU down. One of the notifiers to the CPU hotplug code, is the cpufreq. The DOWN_PREPARE will call __cpufreq_remove_dev() which calls cpufreq_driver->exit. The PA Semi exit handler unmaps regions of I/O that is used by an interrupt that goes off constantly (system_reset_common, but it goes off during normal system operations too). I'm not sure exactly what this interrupt does. Running a simple function trace, you can see it goes off quite a bit: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | <idle>-0 [001] 1558.859363: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.860112: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861109: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [001] 1558.861361: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception <idle>-0 [000] 1558.861437: .pasemi_system_reset_exception <-.system_reset_exception When the region is unmapped, the system crashes with: Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

On POWER7 when we have really small counts left before overflow, we can take a PMU IRQ, but the PMC gets wound back to just before the overflow. If the kernel is setting the PMC to a value just before the overflow, we can get interrupted again without the PMC making any progress (ie another buggy overflow). In this case, we can end up making no forward progress, with the PMC interrupt returning us to the same count over and over. The below detects when we are making no forward progress (ie. delta = 0) and then increases the amount left before the overflow. This stops us from locking up.

If a PMC is about to overflow on a counter that's on an active perf event (ie. less than 256 from the end) and a _different_ PMC overflows just at this time (a PMC that's not on an active perf event), we currently mark the event as found, but in reality it's not as it's likely the other PMC that caused the IRQ. Since we mark it as found the second catch all for overflows doesn't run, and we don't reset the overflowing PMC ever. Hence we keep hitting that same PMC IRQ over and over and don't reset the actual overflowing counter. This is a rewrite of the perf interrupt handler for book3s to get around this. We now check to see if any of the PMCs have actually overflowed (ie >= 0x80000000). If yes, record it for active counters and just reset it for inactive counters. If it's not overflowed, then we check to see if it's one of the buggy power7 counters and if it is, record it and continue. If none of the PMCs match this, then we make note that we couldn't find the PMC that caused the IRQ.

The DDW code uses a eeh_dev struct from the pci_dev. However, this is not set until eeh_add_device_late is called. Since pci_bus_add_devices is called before eeh_add_device_late, the PCI devices are added to the bus, making drivers' probe hooks to be called. These will call set_dma_mask, which will call the DDW code, which will require the eeh_dev struct from pci_dev. This would result in a crash, due to a NULL dereference. Calling eeh_add_device_late after pci_bus_add_devices would make the system BUG, because device files shouldn't be added to devices there were not added to the system. So, a new function is needed to add such files only after pci_bus_add_devices have been called.

When a device DMA window includes the address 0, it's reserved in the TCE bitmap to avoid returning that address to drivers. When the device is removed, the bitmap is checked for any mappings not removed by the driver, indicating a possible DMA mapping leak.

powerpc: Avoid load of static chain register when calling nested functions through a pointer on 64bit The ppc64 ABI has a static chain register (r11) which is only used when calling nested functions through a pointer. Considering that we take a dim view of nested functions in the kernel, we have a lot of unnecessary overhead here. gcc 4.7 has an option to disable loading of r11 so lets use it. If hell freezes over and hipsters manage to litter the kernel with nested functions, gcc will give us an error message and won't simply compile bad code: You cannot take the address of a nested function if you use the -mno-pointers-to-nested-functions option. Furthermore our kernel module trampolines don't setup the static chain register so adding this option and forcing gcc to error out makes even more sense.
