powerpc: Drop return value of smp_ops->probe()

2015-04-10T10:02:49+00:00

smp_ops->probe() is currently supposed to return the number of cpus in
the system.

The last actual usage of the value was removed in May 2007 in e147ec8f1808
"[POWERPC] Simplify smp_space_timers". We still passed the value around
until June 2010 when even that was finally removed in c1aa687d499a
"powerpc: Clean up obsolete code relating to decrementer and timebase".

So drop that requirement, probe() now returns void, and update all
implementations.

powerpc: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:36+00:00

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

* Spurious if (len > 1) test dropped from shared_cpu_map_show().

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Some nice cleanups like removing bootmem, and removal of
__get_cpu_var().

There is one patch to mm/gup.c. This is the generic GUP
implementation, but is only used by us and arm(64). We have an ack
from Steve Capper, and although we didn't get an ack from Andrew he
told us to take the patch through the powerpc tree.

There's one cxl patch. This is in drivers/misc, but Greg said he was
happy for us to manage fixes for it.

There is an infrastructure patch to support an IPMI driver for OPAL.

There is also an RTC driver for OPAL. We weren't able to get any
response from the RTC maintainer, Alessandro Zummo, so in the end we
just merged the driver.

The usual batch of Freescale updates from Scott"

PCI/MSI: Rename mask/unmask_msi_irq treewide

2014-11-23T12:01:45+00:00

The PCI/MSI irq chip callbacks mask/unmask_msi_irq have been renamed
to pci_msi_mask/unmask_irq to mark them PCI specific. Rename all usage
sites. The conversion helper functions are kept around to avoid
conflicts in next and will be removed after merging into mainline.

Coccinelle assisted conversion. No functional change.

powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses

2014-11-03T01:12:32+00:00

This still has not been merged and now powerpc is the only arch that does
not have this change. Sorry about missing linuxppc-dev before.

V2->V2
  - Fix up to work against 3.18-rc1

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

powerpc/powernv: Don't call generic code on offline cpus

2014-09-25T13:14:50+00:00

On PowerNV platforms, when a CPU is offline, we put it into nap mode.
It's possible that the CPU wakes up from nap mode while it is still
offline due to a stray IPI.  A misdirected device interrupt could also
potentially cause it to wake up.  In that circumstance, we need to clear
the interrupt so that the CPU can go back to nap mode.

In the past the clearing of the interrupt was accomplished by briefly
enabling interrupts and allowing the normal interrupt handling code
(do_IRQ() etc.) to handle the interrupt.  This has the problem that
this code calls irq_enter() and irq_exit(), which call functions such
as account_system_vtime() which use RCU internally.  Use of RCU is not
permitted on offline CPUs and will trigger errors if RCU checking is
enabled.

To avoid calling into any generic code which might use RCU, we adopt
a different method of clearing interrupts on offline CPUs.  Since we
are on the PowerNV platform, we know that the system interrupt
controller is a XICS being driven directly (i.e. not via hcalls) by
the kernel.  Hence this adds a new icp_native_flush_interrupt()
function to the native-mode XICS driver and arranges to call that
when an offline CPU is woken from nap.  This new function reads the
interrupt from the XICS.  If it is an IPI, it clears the IPI; if it
is a device interrupt, it prints a warning and disables the source.
Then it does the end-of-interrupt processing for the interrupt.

The other thing that briefly enabling interrupts did was to check and
clear the irq_happened flag in this CPU's PACA.  Therefore, after
flushing the interrupt from the XICS, we also clear all bits except
the PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS (interrupts are hard disabled) bit from the
irq_happened flag.  The PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag is set by power7_nap()
and is left set to indicate that interrupts are hard disabled.  This
means we then have to ignore that flag in power7_nap(), which is
reasonable since it doesn't indicate that any interrupt event needs
servicing.

powerpc/powernv: Enable POWER8 doorbell IPIs

2014-06-11T07:05:12+00:00

This patch enables POWER8 doorbell IPIs on powernv.

Since doorbells can only IPI within a core, we test to see when we can use
doorbells and if not we fall back to XICS.  This also enables hypervisor
doorbells to wakeup us up from nap/sleep via the LPCR PECEDH bit.

Based on tests by Anton, the best case IPI latency between two threads dropped
from 894ns to 512ns.

powerpc: Delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-15T02:46:44+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The one instance where we add an include for init.h covers off
a case where that file was implicitly getting it from another
header which itself didn't need it.
