      powerpc/pseries: Re-implement HVSI as part of hvc_vio · 4d2bb3f5
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      On pseries machines, consoles are provided by the hypervisor using
      a low level get_chars/put_chars type interface. However, this is
      really just a transport to the service processor which implements
      them either as "raw" console (networked consoles, HMC, ...) or as
      "hvsi" serial ports.
      
      The later is a simple packet protocol on top of the raw character
      interface that is supposed to convey additional "serial port" style
      semantics. In practice however, all it does is provide a way to
      read the CD line and set/clear our DTR line, that's it.
      
      We currently implement the "raw" protocol as an hvc console backend
      (/dev/hvcN) and the "hvsi" protocol using a separate tty driver
      (/dev/hvsi0).
      
      However this is quite impractical. The arbitrary difference between
      the two type of devices has been a major source of user (and distro)
      confusion. Additionally, there's an additional mini -hvsi implementation
      in the pseries platform code for our low level debug console and early
      boot kernel messages, which means code duplication, though that low
      level variant is impractical as it's incapable of doing the initial
      protocol negociation to establish the link to the FSP.
      
      This essentially replaces the dedicated hvsi driver and the platform
      udbg code completely by extending the existing hvc_vio backend used
      in "raw" mode so that:
      
       - It now supports HVSI as well
       - We add support for hvc backend providing tiocm{get,set}
       - It also provides a udbg interface for early debug and boot console
      
      This is overall less code, though this will only be obvious once we
      remove the old "hvsi" driver, which is still available for now. When
      the old driver is enabled, the new code still kicks in for the low
      level udbg console, replacing the old mini implementation in the platform
      code, it just doesn't provide the higher level "hvc" interface.
      
      In addition to producing generally simler code, this has several benefits
      over our current situation:
      
       - The user/distro only has to deal with /dev/hvcN for the hypervisor
      console, avoiding all sort of confusion that has plagued us in the past
      
       - The tty, kernel and low level debug console all use the same code
      base which supports the full protocol establishment process, thus the
      console is now available much earlier than it used to be with the
      old HVSI driver. The kernel console works much earlier and udbg is
      available much earlier too. Hackers can enable a hard coded very-early
      debug console as well that works with HVSI (previously that was only
      supported for the "raw" mode).
      
      I've tried to keep the same semantics as hvsi relative to how I react
      to things like CD changes, with some subtle differences though:
      
       - I clear DTR on close if HUPCL is set
      
       - Current hvsi triggers a hangup if it detects a up->down transition
         on CD (you can still open a console with CD down). My new implementation
         triggers a hangup if the link to the FSP is severed, and severs it upon
         detecting a up->down transition on CD.

      [POWERPC] Rewrite IO allocation & mapping on powerpc64 · 3d5134ee
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This rewrites pretty much from scratch the handling of MMIO and PIO
      space allocations on powerpc64.  The main goals are:
      
       - Get rid of imalloc and use more common code where possible
       - Simplify the current mess so that PIO space is allocated and
         mapped in a single place for PCI bridges
       - Handle allocation constraints of PIO for all bridges including
         hot plugged ones within the 2GB space reserved for IO ports,
         so that devices on hotplugged busses will now work with drivers
         that assume IO ports fit in an int.
       - Cleanup and separate tracking of the ISA space in the reserved
         low 64K of IO space. No ISA -> Nothing mapped there.
      
      I booted a cell blade with IDE on PIO and MMIO and a dual G5 so
      far, that's it :-)
      
      With this patch, all allocations are done using the code in
      mm/vmalloc.c, though we use the low level __get_vm_area with
      explicit start/stop constraints in order to manage separate
      areas for vmalloc/vmap, ioremap, and PCI IOs.
      
      This greatly simplifies a lot of things, as you can see in the
      diffstat of that patch :-)
      
      A new pair of functions pcibios_map/unmap_io_space() now replace
      all of the previous code that used to manipulate PCI IOs space.
      The allocation is done at mapping time, which is now called from
      scan_phb's, just before the devices are probed (instead of after,
      which is by itself a bug fix). The only other caller is the PCI
      hotplug code for hot adding PCI-PCI bridges (slots).
      
      imalloc is gone, as is the "sub-allocation" thing, but I do beleive
      that hotplug should still work in the sense that the space allocation
      is always done by the PHB, but if you unmap a child bus of this PHB
      (which seems to be possible), then the code should properly tear
      down all the HPTE mappings for that area of the PHB allocated IO space.
      
      I now always reserve the first 64K of IO space for the bridge with
      the ISA bus on it. I have moved the code for tracking ISA in a separate
      file which should also make it smarter if we ever are capable of
      hot unplugging or re-plugging an ISA bridge.
      
      This should have a side effect on platforms like powermac where VGA IOs
      will no longer work. This is done on purpose though as they would have
      worked semi-randomly before. The idea at this point is to isolate drivers
      that might need to access those and fix them by providing a proper
      function to obtain an offset to the legacy IOs of a given bus.
