Currently there is a bug where if you use oprofile on a pSeries machine, then use perf_counters, then use oprofile again, oprofile will not work correctly; it will lose the PMU configuration the next time the hypervisor does a partition context switch, and thereafter won't count anything. Maynard Johnson identified the sequence causing the problem: - oprofile setup calls ppc_enable_pmcs(), which calls pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, which tells the hypervisor that we want to use the PMU, and sets the "PMU in use" flag in the lppaca. This flag tells the hypervisor whether it needs to save and restore the PMU config. - The perf_counter code sets and clears the "PMU in use" flag directly as it context-switches the PMU between tasks, and leaves it clear when it finishes. - oprofile setup, called for a new oprofile run, calls ppc_enable_pmcs, which does nothing because it has already been called. In particular it doesn't set the "PMU in use" flag. This fixes the problem by arranging for ppc_enable_pmcs to always set the "PMU in use" flag. It makes the perf_counter code call ppc_enable_pmcs also rather than calling the lower-level function directly, and removes the setting of the "PMU in use" flag from pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs, since that is now done in its caller. This also removes the declaration of pasemi_enable_pmcs because it isn't defined anywhere.

By default, the EEH framework on powerpc does what's known as a "hot reset" during recovery of a PCI Express device. We've found a case where the device needs a "fundamental reset" to recover properly. The current PCI error recovery and EEH frameworks do not support this distinction. The attached patch makes changes to EEH to utilize the new bit field.

The SLB can change sizes across a live migration, which was not being handled, resulting in possible machine crashes during migration if migrating to a machine which has a smaller max SLB size than the source machine. Fix this by first reducing the SLB size to the minimum possible value, which is 32, prior to migration. Then during the device tree update which occurs after migration, we make the call to ensure the SLB gets updated. Also add the slb_size to the lparcfg output so that the migration tools can check to make sure the kernel has this capability before allowing migration in scenarios where the SLB size will change.

Several platforms use their own copy of what is essentially the same code, using RTAS to synchronize the timebases when bringing up new CPUs. This moves it all into a single common implementation and additionally turns the spinlock into a raw spinlock since the former can rely on the timebase not being frozen when spinlock debugging is enabled, and finally masks interrupts while the timebase is disabled.

Based on PCI Express AER specs, a root port might receive multiple TLP errors while it could only save a correctable error source id and an uncorrectable error source id at the same time. In addition, some root port hardware might be unable to provide a correct source id, i.e., the source id, or the bus id part of the source id provided by root port might be equal to 0. The patchset implements the support in kernel by searching the device tree under the root port. Patch 1 changes parameter cb of function pci_walk_bus to return a value. When cb return non-zero, pci_walk_bus stops more searching on the device tree.

While adding native EEH support to Emulex and Qlogic drivers, it was discovered that dev->error_state was set to pci_io_channel_normal too late in the recovery process. These drivers rely on error_state to determine if they can access the device in their slot_reset callback, thus error_state needs to be set to pci_io_channel_normal in eeh_report_reset(). Below is a detailed explanation (courtesy of Richard Lary) as to why this is necessary. Background: PCI MMIO or DMA accesses to a frozen slot generate additional EEH errors. If the number of additional EEH errors exceeds EEH_MAX_FAILS the adapter will be shutdown. To avoid triggering excessive EEH errors and an undesirable adapter shutdown, some drivers use the pci_channel_offline(dev) wrapper function to return a Boolean value based on the value of pci_dev->error_state to determine if PCI MMIO or DMA accesses are safe. If the wrapper returns TRUE, drivers must not make PCI MMIO or DMA access to their hardware. The pci_dev structure member error_state reflects one of three values, 1) pci_channel_io_normal, 2) pci_channel_io_frozen, 3) pci_channel_io_perm_failure. Function pci_channel_offline(dev) returns TRUE if error_state is pci_channel_io_frozen or pci_channel_io_perm_failure. The EEH driver sets pci_dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_frozen at the point where the PCI slot is frozen. Currently, the EEH driver restores dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal in eeh_report_resume() before calling the driver's resume callback. However, when the EEH driver calls the driver's slot_reset callback() from eeh_report_reset(), it incorrectly indicates the error state is still pci_channel_io_frozen. Waiting until eeh_report_resume() to restore dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal is too late for Emulex and QLogic FC drivers and any other drivers which are designed to use common code paths in these two cases: i) those called after the driver's slot_reset callback() and ii) those called after the PCI slot is frozen but before the driver's slot_reset callback is called. Case i) all driver paths executed to reinitialize the hardware after a reset and case ii) all code paths executed by driver kernel threads that run asynchronous to the main driver thread, such as interrupt handlers and worker threads to process driver work queues. Emulex and QLogic FC drivers are designed with common code paths which require that pci_channel_offline(dev) reflect the true state of the hardware. The state transitions that the hardware takes from Normal Operations to Slot Frozen to Reset to Normal Operations are documented in the Power Architecture™ Platform Requirements+ (PAPR+) in Table 75. PE State Control. PAPR defines the following 3 states: 0 -- Not reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store allowed, DMA allowed (Normal Operations) 1 -- Reset, Not EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled 2 -- Not reset, EEH stopped, MMIO load/store disabled, DMA disabled (Slot Frozen) An EEH error places the slot in state 2 (Frozen) and the adapter driver is notified that an EEH error was detected. If the adapter driver returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET, the EEH driver calls eeh_reset_device() to place the slot into state 1 (Reset) and eeh_reset_device completes by placing the slot into State 0 (Normal Operations). Upon return from eeh_reset_device(), the EEH driver calls eeh_report_reset, which then calls the adapter's slot_reset callback. At the time the adapter's slot_reset callback is called, the true state of the hardware is Normal Operations and should be accurately reflected by setting dev->error_state to pci_channel_io_normal. The current implementation of EEH driver does not do so and requires this change to correct this deficiency.

This is set when either 6xx or PPC64 is set and open the door for future BOOK3E 64-bit. - 64-bit platforms that relied on PPC64 && PPC_MULTIPLATFORM now use PPC64 && PPC_BOOK3S - A separate and selectable CONFIG_PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE option is now used to control the use of prom_init.c Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

There are hardware limitations on the number of available MSIs, which firmware expresses using a property named "ibm,pe-total-#msi". This property tells us how many MSIs are available for devices below the point in the PCI tree where we find the property. For old firmwares which don't have the property, we assume there are 8 MSIs available per "partitionable endpoint" (PE). The PE can be found using existing EEH code, which uses the methods described in PAPR. For our purposes we want the parent of the node that's identified using this method. When a driver requests n MSIs for a device, we first establish where the "ibm,pe-total-#msi" property above that device is, or we find the PE if the property is not found. In both cases we call this node the "pe_dn". We then count all non-bridge devices below the pe_dn, to establish how many devices in total may need MSIs. The quota is then simply the total available divided by the number of devices, if the request is less than or equal to the quota, the request is fine and we're done. If the request is greater than the quota, we try to determine if there are any "spare" MSIs which we can give to this device. Spare MSIs are found by looking for other devices which can never use their full quota, because their "req#msi(-x)" property is less than the quota. If we find any spare, we divide the spares by the number of devices that could request more than their quota. This ensures the spare MSIs are spread evenly amongst all over-quota requestors.

Currently, pseries_cpu_die() calls msleep() while polling RTAS for the status of the dying cpu. However, if the cpu that is going down also happens to be the one doing the tick then we're hosed as the tick_do_timer_cpu 'baton' is only passed later on in tick_shutdown() when _cpu_down() does the CPU_DEAD notification. Therefore jiffies won't be updated anymore. This replaces that msleep() with a cpu_relax() to make sure we're not going to schedule at that point.

When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor. Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request, which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel, the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel. This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.
