      powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling · 7230c564
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      The current implementation of lazy interrupts handling has some
issues that this tries to address.

We don't do the various workarounds we need to do when re-enabling
interrupts in some cases such as when returning from an interrupt
and thus we may still lose or get delayed decrementer or doorbell
interrupts.

The current scheme also makes it much harder to handle the external
"edge" interrupts provided by some BookE processors when using the
EPR facility (External Proxy) and the Freescale Hypervisor.

Additionally, we tend to keep interrupts hard disabled in a number
of cases, such as decrementer interrupts, external interrupts, or
when a masked decrementer interrupt is pending. This is sub-optimal.

This is an attempt at fixing it all in one go by reworking the way
we do the lazy interrupt disabling from the ground up.

The base idea is to replace the "hard_enabled" field with a
"irq_happened" field in which we store a bit mask of what interrupt
occurred while soft-disabled.

When re-enabling, either via arch_local_irq_restore() or when returning
from an interrupt, we can now decide what to do by testing bits in that
field.

We then implement replaying of the missed interrupts either by
re-using the existing exception frame (in exception exit case) or via
the creation of a new one from an assembly trampoline (in the
arch_local_irq_enable case).

This removes the need to play with the decrementer to try to create
fake interrupts, among others.

In addition, this adds a few refinements:

 - We no longer  hard disable decrementer interrupts that occur
while soft-disabled. We now simply bump the decrementer back to max
(on BookS) or leave it stopped (on BookE) and continue with hard interrupts
enabled, which means that we'll potentially get better sample quality from
performance monitor interrupts.

 - Timer, decrementer and doorbell interrupts now hard-enable
shortly after removing the source of the interrupt, which means
they no longer run entirely hard disabled. Again, this will improve
perf sample quality.

 - On Book3E 64-bit, we now make the performance monitor interrupt
act as an NMI like Book3S (the necessary C code for that to work
appear to already be present in the FSL perf code, notably calling
nmi_enter instead of irq_enter). (This also fixes a bug where BookE
perfmon interrupts could clobber r14 ... oops)

 - We could make "masked" decrementer interrupts act as NMIs when doing
timer-based perf sampling to improve the sample quality.

---

v2:

- Add hard-enable to decrementer, timer and doorbells
- Fix CR clobber in masked irq handling on BookE
- Make embedded perf interrupt act as an NMI
- Add a PACA_HAPPENED_EE_EDGE for use by FSL if they want
  to retrigger an interrupt without preventing hard-enable

v3:

 - Fix or vs. ori bug on Book3E
 - Fix enabling of interrupts for some exceptions on Book3E

v4:

 - Fix resend of doorbells on return from interrupt on Book3E

v5:

 - Rebased on top of my latest series, which involves some significant
rework of some aspects of the patch.

v6:
 - 32-bit compile fix
 - more compile fixes with various .config combos
 - factor out the asm code to soft-disable interrupts
 - remove the C wrapper around preempt_schedule_irq

v7:
 - Fix a bug with hard irq state tracking on native power7

      powerpc/eeh: pseries platform config space access in EEH · 3780444c
      Gavin Shan authored 
      With the original EEH implementation, the access to config space of
the corresponding PCI device is done by RTAS sensitive function. That
depends on pci_dn heavily. That would limit EEH extension to other
platforms like powernv because other platforms might have different
ways to access PCI config space.

The patch splits those functions used to access PCI config space
and implement them in platform related EEH component. It would be
helpful to support EEH on multiple platforms simutaneously in future.

      powerpc/eeh: Introduce struct eeh_stats for EEH · e575f8db
      Gavin Shan authored 
      With the original EEH implementation, the EEH global statistics
are maintained by individual global variables. That makes the
code a little hard to maintain.

The patch introduces extra struct eeh_stats for the EEH global
statistics so that it can be maintained in collective fashion.

It's the rework on the corresponding v5 patch. According to
the comments from David Laight, the EEH global statistics have
been changed for a litte bit so that they have fixed-type of
"u64". Also, the format used to print them has been changed to
"%llu" based on David's suggestion. Also, the output format of
EEH global statistics should be kept as intacted according to
Michael's suggestion that there might be tools parsing them.

      powerpc/eeh: Replace pci_dn with eeh_dev for EEH on pSeries · 54793d0e
      Gavin Shan authored 
      The pci_dn has been replaced with eeh_dev. In order to comply with
the rule, the EEH platform implementation on pSeries should also
be adjusted for a little bit so that it will depend on eeh_dev instead
of pci_dn.

The patch replaces pci_dn with eeh_dev. The corresponding information
will be retrieved from eeh_dev instead of pci_dn.

      powerpc/eeh: Replace pci_dn with eeh_dev for EEH aux components · 40a7cd92
      Gavin Shan authored 
      The original EEH implementation is heavily depending on struct pci_dn.
We have to put EEH related information to pci_dn. Actually, we could
split struct pci_dn so that the EEH sensitive information to form an
individual struct, then EEH looks more independent.

The patch replaces pci_dn with eeh_dev for EEH aux components like
event and driver. Also, the eeh_event struct has been adjusted for
a little bit since eeh_dev has linked the associated FDT (Flat Device
Tree) node and PCI device. It's not necessary for eeh_event struct to
trace FDT node and PCI device. We can just simply to trace eeh_dev in
eeh_event.

The patch also renames function pcid_name() to eeh_pcid_name(), which
should be missed in the previous patch where the EEH aux components
have been cleaned up.

      powerpc/eeh: Replace pci_dn with eeh_dev for EEH address cache · d50a7d4c
      Gavin Shan authored 
      With original EEH implementation, struct pci_dn is used while building
PCI I/O address cache, which helps on searching the corresponding
PCI device according to the given physical I/O address. Besides, pci_dn
is associated with the corresponding PCI device while building its
I/O cache.

The patch replaces struct pci_dn with struct eeh_dev so that EEH address
cache won't depend on struct pci_dn. That will help EEH to become an
independent module in future. Besides, the binding of eeh_dev and PCI
device is done while building PCI device I/O cache.

      Gavin Shan authored 
      With original EEH implementation, all EEH related statistics have
been put into struct pci_dn. We've introduced struct eeh_dev to
replace struct pci_dn in EEH core components, including EEH sysfs
component.

The patch shows EEH statistics from struct eeh_dev instead of struct
pci_dn in EEH sysfs component. Besides, it also fixed the EEH device
retrieval from PCI device, which was introduced by the previous patch
in the series of patch.

      powerpc/eeh: Introduce EEH device · eb740b5f
      Gavin Shan authored 
      Original EEH implementation depends on struct pci_dn heavily. However,
EEH shouldn't depend on that actually because EEH needn't share much
information with other PCI components. That's to say, EEH should have
worked independently.

The patch introduces struct eeh_dev so that EEH core components needn't
be working based on struct pci_dn in future. Also, struct pci_dn, struct
eeh_dev instances are created in dynamic fasion and the binding with EEH
device, OF node, PCI device is implemented as well.

The EEH devices are created after PHBs are detected and initialized, but
PCI emunation hasn't started yet. Apart from that, PHB might be created
dynamically through DLPAR component and the EEH devices should be creatd
as well. Another case might be OF node is created dynamically by DR
(Dynamic Reconfiguration), which has been defined by PAPR. For those OF
nodes created by DR, EEH devices should be also created accordingly. The
binding between EEH device and OF node is done while the EEH device is
initially created.

The binding between EEH device and PCI device should be done after PCI
emunation is done. Besides, PCI hotplug also needs the binding so that
the EEH devices could be traced from the newly coming PCI buses or PCI
devices.
