The current Branch History Rolling Buffer (BHRB) code misinterprets the order of entries in the hardware buffer. It assumes that a branch target address will be read _after_ its corresponding branch. In reality the branch target comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch. This is a rewrite of the code to take this into account. Signed-off-by:

The new Branch History Rolling buffer (BHRB) code is only useful on 64bit processors, so move it into the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 region. This avoids code bloat on 32bit systems. Signed-off-by:

This is the exception hooks for context tracking subsystem, including data access, program check, single step, instruction breakpoint, machine check, alignment, fp unavailable, altivec assist, unknown exception, whose handlers might use RCU. This patch corresponds to [PATCH] x86: Exception hooks for userspace RCU extended QS commit 6ba3c97a But after the exception handling moved to generic code, and some changes in following two commits: 56dd9470 context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic code 6c1e0256 context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit it is able for exception hooks to use the generic code above instead of a redundant arch implementation.

This is the syscall slow path hooks for context tracking subsystem, corresponding to [PATCH] x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS commit bf5a3c13 TIF_MEMDIE is moved to the second 16-bits (with value 17), as it seems there is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is better for it to be in the same 16 bits with others in the group, so in the asm code, andi. with this group could work. Signed-off-by:

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it explicitly outside of debug code. If we have MSR_DE set in prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0 (e.g. ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded. DSRR0 will not point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at kernel_dbg_exc. Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new debug state. Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch taken event. If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap (e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch. We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even checking the DSRR0 address. Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was intended in the 64-bit code as well. Signed-off-by:

Saw this warning again, and this time from the ret_from_fork path. It seems we could clear the back chain earlier in copy_thread(), which could cover both path, and also fix potential lockdep usage in schedule_tail(), or exception occurred before we clear the back chain. Signed-off-by:

We are getting build errors with CONFIG_PROC_FS=n: arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c In function 'rtas_flash_init': 745:33: error: unused variable 'f' [-Werror=unused-variable] But rtas_flash.c should not be built when CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, beacause all it does is provide a /proc interface to the RTAS flash routines. CONFIG_RTAS_FLASH already depends on CONFIG_RTAS_PROC, to indicate that it depends on the RTAS proc support, but CONFIG_RTAS_PROC does not depend on CONFIG_PROC_FS. So fix that. Signed-off-by:

This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online prior to migration/hibernation. After migration/hibernation those threads are taken back offline. During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is required by the hypervisor. Without this patch, threads that are offline (H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200 bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below call trace). This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

commit b3f271e8 (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to save the current tasks' VMX state. kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr we get a cryptic oops or lockup. I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too. Signed-off-by:

We add a machine_shutdown hook that frees the OPAL interrupts (so they get masked at the source and don't fire while kexec'ing) and which triggers an IODA reset on all the PCIe host bridges which will have the effect of blocking all DMAs and subsequent PCIs interrupts. Signed-off-by:

If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware error), we should drop characters. Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2 APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(), which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work). However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors or closed console, to spin forever. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a new udbg early debug console which utilises statically defined input and output buffers stored within the kernel BSS. It is primarily designed to assist with bring up of new hardware which may not have a working console but which has a method of reading/writing kernel memory. This version incorporates comments made by Ben H (thanks!). Changes from v1: - Add memory barriers. - Ensure updating of read/write positions is atomic. Signed-off-by:

If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled (which is the most common case) all is already well. However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that the irqs are going off. We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular dependency hell hole. Signed-off-by:

The PCI core supports an offset per aperture nowadays but our arch code still has a single offset per host bridge representing the difference betwen CPU memory addresses and PCI MMIO addresses. This is a problem as new machines and hypervisor versions are coming out where the 64-bit windows will have a different offset (basically mapped 1:1) from the 32-bit windows. This fixes it by using separate offsets. In the long run, we probably want to get rid of that intermediary struct pci_controller and have those directly stored into the pci_host_bridge as they are parsed but this will be a more invasive change.

Some devices don't have a correct node ID and thus can't be attached to an iommu. The message displayed by the iommu code isn't very useful if you don't have a device-tree node as it tries to print the device-tree path but not the struct device name. Improve this by printing the device name as well. Signed-off-by: -

Some interrupt controllers refuse to map interrupts marked as "protected" by firwmare. Since we try to map everyting in the device-tree on some platforms, we end up with a lot of nasty WARN's in the boot log for what is a normal situation on those machines. This defines a specific return code (-EPERM) from the host map() callback which cause irqdomain to fail silently. MPIC is updated to return this when hitting a protected source printing only a single line message for diagnostic purposes. Signed-off-by:

On pseries machines the detection for max_bus_speed should be done through an OpenFirmware property. This patch adds a function to perform this detection and a hook to perform dynamic adding of the function only for pseries.
