Currently we have a fair bit of rather fiddly code to manage the various kmem_caches used to store page tables of various levels. We generally have two caches holding some combination of PGD, PUD and PMD tables, plus several more for the special hugepage pagetables. This patch cleans this all up by taking a different approach. Rather than the caches being designated as for PUDs or for hugeptes for 16M pages, the caches are simply allocated to be a specific size. Thus sharing of caches between different types/levels of pagetables happens naturally. The pagetable size, where needed, is passed around encoded in the same way as {PGD,PUD,PMD}_INDEX_SIZE; that is n where the pagetable contains 2^n pointers.

Currently, hpte_need_flush() only correctly flushes the given address for normal pages. Callers for hugepages are required to mask the address themselves. But hpte_need_flush() already looks up the page sizes for its own reasons, so this is a rather silly imposition on the callers. This patch alters it to mask based on the pagesize it has looked up itself, and removes the awkward masking code in the hugepage caller.

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. Fix the CMM driver to handle this scenario by ignoring requests to decrease the number of loaned pages if we don't think we have any pages loaned. Pages that are marked as "loaned" which are not in the balloon will automatically get switched to "active" the next time we touch the page. This also fixes the case where totalram_pages is smaller than min_mem_mb, which can occur during kdump.

Rather than open-coding our own check, use irq_has_action() to check if an irq has an action - ie. is "in use". irq_has_action() doesn't take the descriptor lock, but it shouldn't matter - we're just using it as an indicator that the irq is in use. disable_irq_nosync() will take the descriptor lock before doing anything also.

The irq_desc array consumes quite a lot of space, and for systems that don't need or can't have 512 irqs it's just wasted space. The first 16 are reserved for ISA, so the minimum of 32 is really 16 - and no one has asked for more than 512 so leave that as the maximum.

The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results. The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there. The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared.

Just as with kexec, hibernation may fail even on well-tested platforms: some PCI device, a driver of which doesn't play well with hibernation, is enough to break resuming. Hibernation code is not much platform dependent, and hiding features only because these were not verified on a particular hardware is counterproductive: we just prevent the features from being widely tested. For example, with this patch I just tested hibernation on a MPC83xx board, and it works quite well, modulo a few drivers that need some fixing. So, let's make it possible to select hibernation support for all PowerPCs, then let's wait for any possible bug reports, and actually fix (or just collect ;-) the bugs instead of hiding them. If some platforms really can't stand hibernation, we can make a blacklist, with proper comments why exactly hibernation doesn't work, whether it is possible to fix, and what needs to be done to fix it. CONFIG_HIBERNATION is still =n by default, so the commit doesn't change anything apart from ability to set it to =y. I'm not sure if EXPERIMENTAL dependency is needed, I'd rather not add it for a few reasons: 1) It doesn't matter much, for distro kernels user has no clue that some feature is experimental. Majority of defconfigs enable EXPERIMENTAL anyway (90 vs. 4, which, btw, means that EXPERIMENTAL is overused in Kconfigs); 2) EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing for features that change default behaviour of a kernel, while for hibernation user has to explicitly issue 'echo disk > /sys/power/state' to trigger any hibernation bugs; 3) Per init/Kconfig, EXPERIMENTAL is a good thing to scare and discourage users from 'widespread use of a feature', while we want to encourage that use.

Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com> Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources. This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that to avoid unrecoverable exceptions. This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered and has to be restored in both cases.

Profiling of a page fault scalability microbenchmark shows flush_hash_range is not calling the batch hpte invalidate hcall (H_BULK_REMOVE). It turns out we have a duplicate firmware feature for hcall-bulk and the current setup code stops after finding the first match. This meant we never batch and always do individual invalidates. The patch below removes the duplicate and shifts FW_FEATURE_CMO to close the gap. With the patch applied the single threaded page fault rate improves from 217169 to 238755 per second on a POWER5 test box, a 10% improvement.

On pSeries, we always force the IO space to be mapped using 4K pages even with a 64K base page size to cope with some limitations in the HV interface to some devices. However, the SLB miss handler code to discriminate between vmalloc and ioremap space uses a CPU feature section such that the code is nop'ed out when the processor support large pages non-cachable mappings. Thus, we end up always using the ioremap page size for vmalloc segments on such processors, causing a discrepency between the segment and the hash table, and thus a hang continously hashing the page. It works for the first segment of the vmalloc space since that segment is "bolted" in by C code correctly, and thankfully we almost never use the vmalloc space beyond the first segment, but the new percpu code made the bug happen. This fixes it by removing the feature section from the assembly, we now always do the comparison between vmalloc and ioremap.

Since the change of how interrupts are disabled during suspend, certain PowerBook models started exhibiting various issues during suspend or resume from sleep. I finally tracked it down to the code that runs various "platform" functions (kind of little scripts extracted from the device-tree), which uses our i2c and PMU drivers expecting interrutps to work, and at a time where with the new scheme, they have been disabled. This causes timeouts internally which for some reason results in the PMU being unable to see the trackpad, among other issues, really it depends on the machine. Most of the time, we fail to properly adjust some clocks for suspend/resume so the results are not always predictable. This patch fixes it by using IRQF_TIMER for both the PMU and the I2C interrupts. I prefer doing it this way than moving the call sites since I really want those platform functions to still be called after all drivers (and before sysdevs). We also do a slight cleanup to via-pmu.c driver to make sure the ADB autopoll mask is handled correctly when doing bus resets Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

When the function graph tracer is enabled, it replaces the return address with a hook back to the tracer. This makes back traces see the hook instead of the actual return address. The current code also shows the real address by checking if the return address jumps to the return_to_handler. If it is, is also prints out the saved real return address. On powerpc64, some modules may return to mod_return_to_handler, which is not checked. This patch will also show the real address if a return is to mod_return_to_handler as well.

However, the PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for every xmon event.
