We stash it in boot_command_line which isn't in BSS and so won't be overwritten. We then use that as a default cmd_line before we walk the device-tree. Signed-off-by:Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

On machines supporting the OPAL firmware version 1, the system is initially booted under pHyp. We then use a special hypercall to verify if OPAL is available and if it is, we then trigger a "takeover" which disables pHyp and loads the OPAL runtime firmware, giving control to the kernel in hypervisor mode. This patch add the necessary code to detect that the OPAL takeover capability is present when running under PowerVM (aka pHyp) and perform said takeover to get hypervisor control of the processor. To perform the takeover, we must first use RTAS (within Open Firmware runtime environment) to start all processors & threads, in order to give control to OPAL on all of them. We then call the takeover hypercall on everybody, OPAL will re-enter the kernel main entry point passing it a flat device-tree. Signed-off-by: -

We used to overwrite with CONFIG_CMDLINE if we found a chosen node but failed to get bootargs out of it or they were empty, unless CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE is set. Instead change that to overwrite if "data" is non empty after the bootargs check. It allows arch code to have other mechanisms to retrieve the command line prior to parsing the device-tree. Note: CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE case should ideally be handled elsewhere as it won't work as it-is if the device-tree has no /chosen node Signed-off-by:

This adds a skeletton for the new Power "Non Virtualized" platform which will be used by machines supporting running without an hypervisor, for example in order to run KVM. These machines will be using a new firmware called OPAL for which the support will be provided by later patches. The PowerNV platform is intended to be also usable under the BML environment used internally for early CPU bringup which is why the code also supports using RTAS instead of OPAL in various places.

This adds more generic support for doing CPU hotplug with a simple idle loop and no actual reset of the processors. The generic smp_generic_kick_cpu() does the hotplug bringup trick if the PACA shows that the CPU has already been started at boot and we provide an accessor for the CPU state. Signed-off-by: -

On big POWER7 boxes we see large amounts of CPU time in system processes like workqueue and watchdog kernel threads. We currently rebalance the entire machine each time a task goes idle and this is very expensive on large machines. Disable newidle balancing at the node level and rely on the scheduler tick to rebalance across nodes. Signed-off-by:

The largest POWER7 boxes have 32 nodes. SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN groups nodes into chunks of 16 and adds a global balancing domain (SD_ALLNODES) above it. If we bump SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN to 32, then we avoid this extra level of balancing on our largest boxes. Signed-off-by:

When chasing a performance issue on ppc64, I noticed tasks communicating via a pipe would often end up on different nodes. It turns out SD_WAKE_AFFINE is not set in our node defition. Commit 9fcd18c9 (sched: re-tune balancing) enabled SD_WAKE_AFFINE in the node definition for x86 and we need a similar change for ppc64. I used lmbench lat_ctx and perf bench pipe to verify this fix. Each benchmark was run 10 times and the average taken. lmbench lat_ctx: before: 66565 ops/sec after: 204700 ops/sec 3.1x faster perf bench pipe: before: 5.6570 usecs after: 1.3470 usecs 4.2x faster Signed-off-by:

When a xHC host is unable to handle isochronous transfer in the interval, it reports a Missed Service Error event and skips some tds. Currently xhci driver handles MSE event in the following ways: 1. When encounter a MSE event, set ep->skip flag, update event ring dequeue pointer and return. 2. When encounter the next event on this ep, the driver will run the do-while loop, fetch td from ep's td_list to find the td corresponding to this event. All tds missed are marked as short transfer(-EXDEV). The do-while loop will end in two ways: 1. If the td pointed by the event trb is found; 2. If the ep ring's td_list is empty. However, if a buggy HW reports some unpredicted event (for example, an overrun event following a MSE event while the ep ring is actually not empty), the driver will never find the td, and it will loop until the td_list is empty. Unfortunately, the spinlock is dropped when give back a urb in the do-while loop. During the spinlock released period, the class driver may still submit urbs and add tds to the td_list. This may cause disaster, since the td_list will never be empty and the loop never ends, and the system hangs. To fix this, count the number of TDs on the ep ring before skipping TDs, and quit the loop when skipped that number of tds. This guarantees the do-while loop will end after certain number of cycles, and driver will not be trapped in an infinite loop. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes, when a USB 3.0 device is disconnected, the Intel Panther Point xHCI host controller will report a link state change with the state set to "SS.Inactive". This causes the xHCI host controller to issue a warm port reset, which doesn't finish before the USB core times out while waiting for it to complete. When the warm port reset does complete, and the xHC gives back a port status change event, the xHCI driver kicks khubd. However, it fails to set the bit indicating there is a change event for that port because the logic in xhci-hub.c doesn't check for the warm port reset bit. After that, the warm port status change bit is never cleared by the USB core, and the xHC stops reporting port status change bits. (The xHCI spec says it shouldn't report more port events until all change bits are cleared.) This means any port changes when a new device is connected will never be reported, and the port will seem "dead" until the xHCI driver is unloaded and reloaded, or the computer is rebooted. Fix this by making the xHCI driver set the port change bit when a warm port reset change bit is set. A better solution would be to make the USB core handle warm port reset in differently, merging the current code with the standard port reset code that does an incremental backoff on the timeout, and tries to complete the port reset two more times before giving up. That more complicated fix will be merged next window, and this fix will be backported to stable. This should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, since that was the first kernel with commit a11496eb ("xHCI: warm reset support"). Signed-off-by:

Ok, this isn't optimal, since it means that 'iotop' needs admin capabilities, and we may have to work on this some more. But at the same time it is very much not acceptable to let anybody just read anybody elses IO statistics quite at this level. Use of the GENL_ADMIN_PERM suggested by Johannes Berg as an alternative to checking the capabilities by hand. Reported-by:

Since commit 188917e1, /proc/ppc64 is a symlink to /proc/powerpc/. That means that creating /proc/ppc64/eeh will end up with a unaccessible file, that is not listed under /proc/powerpc/ and, then, not listed under /proc/ppc64/. Creating /proc/powerpc/eeh fixes that problem and maintain the compatibility intended with the ppc64 symlink. Signed-off-by:

In SMP mode, the kernel would produce call trace when resumed from hibernation. The reason is when the function destroy_context is called to drop the resuming mm context, the mm->context.active is 1 which is wrong and should be zero. We pass the current->active_mm as previous mm context to function switch_mmu_context to decrease the context.active by 1. In UP mode, there is no effect. Signed-off-by:

The various port_init_hw methods of ppc4xx_pciex_hwops should have been marked __init and when I added ppc4xx_pciex_port_reset_sdr(), which is __init.

u64 is used rather than phys_addr_t to keep things simple, as this is called from assembly code. Update callers to pass a 64-bit address in r3/r4. Other unused register assignments that were once parameters to machine_init are dropped. For FSL BookE, look up the physical address of the device tree from the effective address passed in r3 by the loader. This is required for situations where memory does not start at zero (due to AMP or IOMMU-less virtualization), and thus the IMA doesn't start at zero, and thus the device tree effective address does not equal the physical address.
