Firmware Features: Define new bit flag representing the presence of new device tree property "ibm,drc-info". The flag is used to tell the front end processor whether the Linux kernel supports the new property, and by the front end processor to tell the Linux kernel that the new property is present in the device tree.

feature fixups need to use patch_instruction() early in the boot, even before the code is relocated to its final address, requiring patch_instruction() to use PTRRELOC() in order to address data. But feature fixups applies on code before it is set to read only, even for modules. Therefore, feature fixups can use raw_patch_instruction() instead. Signed-off-by:

The switch log prints the tv_sec portion of timespec as a 32-bit number, while overflows in 2106. It also uses the timespec type, which is safe on 64-bit architectures, but deprecated because it causes overflows in 2038 elsewhere. This changes it to timespec64 and printing a 64-bit number for consistency. Signed-off-by:

In an effort to remove all instances of 'struct timeval' from the kernel, I'm changing the powerpc mpic_timer interface to use plain seconds instead. There is only one user of this interface, and that doesn't use the microseconds portion, so the code gets noticeably simpler in the process. Signed-off-by:

9003a249 removed checn from the DMA window pages allocator, however the VFIO driver tests limits before doing so by calling the get_table_size hook which was left behind; this fixes it. Fixes: 9003a249 "powerpc/powernv/ioda: Remove explicit max window size check" Signed-off-by:

Radix enabled platforms don't support subpage_prot() system calls. But at present the system call goes through without an error and fails later on while validating expected subpage accesses. Lets not allow the system call on powerpc radix platforms to begin with to prevent this confusion in user space. Signed-off-by:

PAPR defines 'ibm,processor-storage-keys' property. It exports two values. The first value holds the number of data-access keys and the second holds the number of instruction-access keys. Due to a bug in the firmware, instruction-access keys is always reported as zero. However any key can be configured to disable data-access and/or disable execution-access. The inavailablity of the second value is not a big handicap, though it could have been used to determine if the platform supported disable-execution-access. Non-PAPR platforms do not define this property in the device tree yet. Fortunately power8 is the only released Non-PAPR platform that is supported. Here, we hardcode the number of supported pkey to 32, by consulting the PowerISA3.0 This patch calculates the number of keys supported by the platform. Also it determines the platform support for read/write/execution access support for pkeys. Signed-off-by:

Handle Data and Instruction exceptions caused by memory protection-key. The CPU will detect the key fault if the HPTE is already programmed with the key. However if the HPTE is not hashed, a key fault will not be detected by the hardware. The software will detect pkey violation in such a case. Signed-off-by:

Map the key protection bits of the vma to the pkey bits in the PTE. The PTE bits used for pkey are 3,4,5,6 and 57. The first four bits are the same four bits that were freed up initially in this patch series. remember? :-) Without those four bits this patch wouldn't be possible. BUT, on 4k kernel, bit 3, and 4 could not be freed up. remember? Hence we have to be satisfied with 5, 6 and 7. Signed-off-by:

Total 32 keys are available on power7 and above. However pkey 0,1 are reserved. So effectively we have 30 pkeys. On 4K kernels, we do not have 5 bits in the PTE to represent all the keys; we only have 3bits. Two of those keys are reserved; pkey 0 and pkey 1. So effectively we have 6 pkeys. This patch keeps track of reserved keys, allocated keys and keys that are currently free. Also it adds skeletal functions and macros, that the architecture-independent code expects to be available.

In memory Collection (IMC) counter pmu driver controls the ucode's execution state. At the system boot, IMC perf driver pause the ucode. Ucode state is changed to "running" only when any of the nest units are monitored or profiled using perf tool. Nest units support only limited set of hardware counters and ucode is always programmed in the "production mode" ("accumulation") mode. This mode is configured to provide key performance metric data for most of the nest units. But ucode also supports other modes which would be used for "debug" to drill down specific nest units. That is, ucode when switched to "powerbus" debug mode (for example), will dynamically reconfigure the nest counters to target only "powerbus" related events in the hardware counters. This allows the IMC nest unit to focus on powerbus related transactions in the system in more detail. At this point, production mode events may or may not be counted. IMC nest counters has both in-band (ucode access) and out of band access to it. Since not all nest counter configurations are supported by ucode, out of band tools are used to characterize other nest counter configurations. Patch provides an interface via "debugfs" to enable the switching of ucode modes in the system. To switch ucode mode, one has to first pause the microcode (imc_cmd), and then write the target mode value to the "imc_mode" file. Proposed Approach: In the proposed approach, the function (export_imc_mode_and_cmd) which creates the debugfs interface for imc mode and command is implemented in opal-imc.c. Thus we can use imc_get_mem_addr() to get the homer base address for each chip. The interface to expose imc mode and command is required only if we have nest pmu units registered. Employing the existing data structures to track whether we have any nest units registered will require to extend data from perf side to opal-imc.c. Instead an integer is introduced to hold that information by counting successful nest unit registration. Debugfs interface is removed based on the integer count. Example for the interface: $ ls /sys/kernel/debug/imc imc_cmd_0 imc_cmd_8 imc_mode_0 imc_mode_8 Signed-off-by: -

local_t is used for atomic modifications for per-CPU data, versus re-entrant modifications via interrupts. local_t read-modify-write atomic operations are currently implemented with hardware atomics (larx/stcx), which are quite slow. This patch implements them by masking all types of interrupts that may do local_t operations ("standard" and perf interrupts). Rusty's benchmark (https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/16/450) gives the following timings for the local_t test, in nanoseconds per iteration: larx/stcx irq+pmu disable _inc 38 10 _add 38 10 _read 4 4 _add_return 38 10 There are still some interrupt types (system reset, machine check, and watchdog), which can not safely use local_t operations, because they are not masked. An alternative approach was proposed, using a CR bit to mark a critical section, which is tested in the interrupt return path, and would then branch to a fixup handler (similar to exception fixups), which re-starts the operation. The problem with this was the complexity of the fixup handler and the latency of the slow path. https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2014-November/123024.htmlSigned-off-by: -
