      powerpc/mm: Track backing pages allocated by vmemmap_populate() · 91eea67c
      Mark Nelson 提交于
      We need to keep track of the backing pages that get allocated by
      vmemmap_populate() so that when we use kdump, the dump-capture kernel knows
      where these pages are.
      
      We use a simple linked list of structures that contain the physical address
      of the backing page and corresponding virtual address to track the backing
      pages.
      To save space, we just use a pointer to the next struct vmemmap_backing. We
      can also do this because we never remove nodes.  We call the pointer "list"
      to be compatible with changes made to the crash utility.
      
      vmemmap_populate() is called either at boot-time or on a memory hotplug
      operation. We don't have to worry about the boot-time calls because they
      will be inherently single-threaded, and for a memory hotplug operation
      vmemmap_populate() is called through:
      sparse_add_one_section()
                  |
                  V
      kmalloc_section_memmap()
                  |
                  V
      sparse_mem_map_populate()
                  |
                  V
      vmemmap_populate()
      and in sparse_add_one_section() we're protected by pgdat_resize_lock().
      So, we don't need a spinlock to protect the vmemmap_list.
      
      We allocate space for the vmemmap_backing structs by allocating whole pages
      in vmemmap_list_alloc() and then handing out chunks of this to
      vmemmap_list_populate().
      
      This means that we waste at most just under one page, but this keeps the code
      is simple.

      powerpc: Correct parport interrupt parsing · 7cad1978
      Martyn Welch 提交于
      Currently the parsing of the device tree in
      arch/powerpc/include/asm/parport.h assumes that the interrupt provided in
      the parallel port node is a valid virtual irq. The values for the
      interrupts provided in the device tree should have meaning in the context
      of the driver for the specific interrupt controller to which the interrupt
      is connected and irq_of_parse_and_map() should be used to determine the
      correct virtual irq.

      powerpc: Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on 603/e300 · 75c1d539
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      So we tried to speed things up a bit using flush_hash_pages() directly
      but that falls over on 603 of course meaning we fail to flush the TLB
      properly and we may even end up having it corrupt memory randomly by
      accessing a hash table that doesn't exist.
      
      This removes the "optimization" by always going through flush_tlb_page()
      for now at least.

      powerpc/pseries: Only call start-cpu when a CPU is stopped · aef40e87
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      Currently we always call start-cpu irrespective of if the CPU is
      stopped or not. Unfortunatley on POWER7, firmware seems to not like
      start-cpu being called when a cpu already been started.  This was not
      the case on POWER6 and earlier.
      
      This patch checks to see if the CPU is stopped or not via an
      query-cpu-stopped-state call, and only calls start-cpu on CPUs which
      are stopped.
      
      This fixes a bug with kexec on POWER7 on PHYP where only the primary
      thread would make it to the second kernel.

      powerpc/4xx: Add optional "reset_type" property to control reboot via dts · a32fe93d
      Stefan Roese 提交于
      By setting "reset_type" to one of the following values, the default
      software reset mechanism may be overidden. Here the possible values of
      "reset_type":
      
        1 - PPC4xx core reset
        2 - PPC4xx chip reset
        3 - PPC4xx system reset (default)
      
      This will be used by a new PPC440SPe board port, which needs a "chip
      reset" instead of the default "system reset" to be asserted.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      powerpc: Remove IOMMU_VMERGE config option · 191aee58
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      The description says:
      
       Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
       by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
       This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
       drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
       from *_map_sg().
      
       Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here.
      
      It's out of date. Long ago, drivers didn't have a way to tell IOMMUs
      about their segment length limit (that is, the maximum segment length
      that they can handle). So IOMMUs merged as many segments as possible
      and gave too large segments to drivers.
      
      dma_get_max_seg_size() was introduced to solve the above
      problem. Device drives can use the API to tell IOMMU about the maximum
      segment length that they can handle. In addition, the default limit
      (64K) should be safe for everyone.
      
      So this config option seems to be unnecessary.
      
      Note that this config option just enables users to disable the virtual
      merging by default. Users can still disable the virtual merging by the
      boot parameter.
