When issuing PHB reset, OPAL API opal_pci_poll() is called to drive the state machine in OPAL forward. However, we needn't always call the function under some circumstances like reset deassert. This avoids calling opal_pci_poll() when OPAL_SUCCESS is returned from opal_pci_reset(). Except the overhead introduced by additional one unnecessary OPAL call, I didn't run into real issue because of this. Reported-by:

This patch adds an option to use XZ compression for the kernel image. Currently this is only enabled for 64-bit Book3S targets, which is roughly equivalent to the platforms that use the kernel's zImage wrapper, and that have been tested. The bulk of the 32-bit platforms and 64-bit BookE use uboot images, which relies on uboot implementing XZ. In future we can enable XZ support for those targets once someone has tested it.

This modifies the wrapper script so that the -Z option takes an argument to specify the compression type. It can either be 'gz', 'xz' or 'none'. The legazy --no-gzip and -z options are still supported and will set the compression to none and gzip respectively, but they are not documented. Only XZ -6 is used for compression rather than XZ -9. Using compression levels higher than 6 requires the decompressor to build a large (64MB) dictionary when decompressing and some environments cannot satisfy such large allocations (e.g. POWER 6 LPAR partition firmware).

Currently the powerpc boot wrapper has its own wrapper around zlib to handle decompressing gzipped kernels. The kernel decompressor library functions now provide a generic interface that can be used in the pre-boot environment. This allows boot wrappers to easily support different compression algorithms. This patch converts the wrapper to use this new API, but does not add support for using new algorithms. Signed-off-by:

Most architectures allow the compression algorithm used to produced the vmlinuz image to be selected as a kernel config option. In preperation for supporting algorithms other than gzip in the powerpc boot wrapper the makefile needs to be modified to use these config options. Signed-off-by:

The powerpc boot wrapper is potentially compiled with a separate toolchain and/or toolchain flags than the rest of the kernel. The usual case is a 64-bit big endian kernel builds a 32-bit big endian wrapper. The main problem with this is that the wrapper does not have access to the kernel headers (without a lot of gross hacks). To get around this the required headers are copied into the build directory via several sed scripts which rewrite problematic includes. This patch moves these fixups out of the makefile into a separate .sed script file to clean up makefile slightly. Signed-off-by:

In eeh_handle_special_event(), eeh_pe_bus_get() is called before calling eeh_report_failure() on every device under a PE. If a PE was missing a bus for some reason, the error would occur before reporting failure, even though eeh_report_failure() doesn't require a bus. Fix this by moving the bus retrieval and error check after the eeh_report_failure() calls. Signed-off-by:

When the PE used in pnv_eeh_reset() is that of a VF, pnv_eeh_reset_vf_pe() is used. Unlike the other reset functions called in pnv_eeh_reset(), the VF reset doesn't require a bus, and if a bus was missing the function would error out before resetting the VF PE. To avoid this, reorder the VF reset function to occur before finding and checking the bus. Signed-off-by:

When we originally added the ability to split the exception vectors from the kernel (commit 1f6a93e4 ("powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel" 2008-09-15)), the LOAD_HANDLER() macro used an addi instruction to compute the offset of the common handler from the kernel base address. Using addi meant the handler had to be within 32K of the kernel base address, due to the addi instruction taking a signed immediate value. That necessitated creating a trampoline for the system call handler, because system_call_common (in entry64.S) is not linked within 32K of the kernel base address. Later in commit 61e2390e ("powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k offset" 2012-11-15) we changed LOAD_HANDLER to take a 64K offset, by changing it to use ori. Although system_call_common is not in head_64.S or exceptions-64s.S, it is included in head-y, which causes it to be linked early in the kernel text, so in practice it ends up below 64K. Additionally if it can't be placed below 64K the linker will fail to build with a "relocation truncated to fit" error. So remove the trampoline. Newer toolchains are able to work out that the ori in LOAD_HANDLER only takes a 16 bit offset, and so they generate a 16 bit relocation. Older toolchains (binutils 2.22 at least) are not so smart, so we have to add the @l annotation to tell the assembler to generate a 16 bit relocation. Signed-off-by:

Currently we turn the MMU off after copying the image, and we make sure there is no overlap between the hash table and the target pages in that case. That doesn't work for Radix however. In that case, the page tables are scattered and we can't really enforce that the target of the image isn't overlapping one of them. So instead, let's turn the MMU off before copying the image in radix mode. Thankfully, in radix mode, even under a hypervisor, we know we don't have the same kind of RMA limitations that hash mode has. While at it, also turn the MMU off early when using hash in non-LPAR mode, that way we can get rid of the collision check completely. Signed-off-by:

Just using the hash ops won't work anymore since radix will have NULL in there. Instead create an mmu_cleanup_all() function which will do the right thing based on the MMU mode. For Radix, for now I clear UPRT and the PTCR, effectively switching back to Radix with no partition table setup. Currently set it to NULL on BookE thought it might be a good idea to wipe the TLB there (Scott ?) Signed-off-by:

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit 0ebfff14 ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches. Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least some of which are to work around that problem. So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we just convert: if (irq == NO_IRQ) to if (!irq) if (irq != NO_IRQ) to if (irq) irq = NO_IRQ; to irq = 0; return NO_IRQ; to return 0; And a few other odd cases as well. At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other trees. Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3, and drivers/macintosh. Signed-off-by:

mtmsrd with L=1 only affects MSR_EE and MSR_RI bits, and we always know what state those bits are, so the kernel MSR does not need to be loaded when modifying them. mtmsrd is often in the critical execution path, so avoiding dependency on even L1 load is noticable. On a POWER8 this saves about 3 cycles from the syscall path, and possibly a few from other exception returns (not measured). Signed-off-by:

The mflr r10 instruction was left over from when the code used LR to branch to system_call_entry from the exception handler. That was changed by commit 6a404806 ("powerpc: Avoid link stack corruption in MMU on syscall entry path") to use the count register. The value is never used now, so mflr can be removed, and r10 can be used for storage rather than spilling to the SPR scratch register. The scratch register spill causes a long pipeline stall due to the SPR read after write. This change brings getppid syscall cost from 406 to 376 cycles on POWER8. getppid for non-relocatable case is 371 cycles. Signed-off-by:

For hugetlb to work with 4K page size, we need MAX_ORDER to be 13 or more. When switching from a 64K page size to 4K linux page size using make oldconfig, we end up with a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER value of 9. This results in a 16M hugepage beiing considered as a gigantic huge page which in turn results in failure to setup hugepages if gigantic hugepage support is not enabled. This also results in kernel crash with 4K radix configuration. We hit the below BUG_ON on radix: kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:364!

In our linker script we open code the list of text sections, because we need to include the __ftr_alt sections, which are arch-specific. This means we can't use TEXT_TEXT as defined in vmlinux.lds.h, and so we don't have the MEM_KEEP() logic for memory hotplug sections. If we build the kernel with the gold linker, and with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y, we see that functions marked __meminit can end up outside of the _stext/_etext range, and also outside of _sinittext/_einittext, eg: c000000000000000 T _stext c0000000009e0000 A _etext c0000000009e3f18 T hash__vmemmap_create_mapping c000000000ca0000 T _sinittext c000000000d00844 T _einittext This causes them to not be recognised as text by is_kernel_text(), and prevents them being patched by jump_label (and presumably ftrace/kprobes etc.). Fix it by adding MEM_KEEP() directives, mirroring what TEXT_TEXT does. This isn't a problem when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n, because we use the standard INIT_TEXT_SECTION() and EXIT_TEXT macros from vmlinux.lds.h.

Currently the _GLOBAL() macro unilaterally sets the assembler section to ".text" at the start of the macro. This is rude as the caller may be using a different section. So let the caller decide which section to emit the code into. On big endian we do need to switch to the ".opd" section to emit the OPD, but do that with pushsection/popsection, thereby leaving the original section intact. I verified that the order of all entries in System.map is unchanged after this patch. The actual addresses shift around slightly so you can't just diff the System.map. Signed-off-by:

Rather than forcing the whole function into the ".kprobes.text" section, just add the symbol's address to the kprobe blacklist. This also lets us drop the three versions of the_KPROBE macro, in exchange for just one version of _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL - which is a good cleanup. Signed-off-by:

Currently we mark the C implementations of some exception handlers as __kprobes. This has the effect of putting them in the ".kprobes.text" section, which separates them from the rest of the text. Instead we can use the blacklist macros to add the symbols to a blacklist which kprobes will check. This allows the linker to move exception handler functions close to callers and avoids trampolines in larger kernels. Signed-off-by:

Normally, when MSR[VSX/VR/SPE] bits == 1, the used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe bit have already been set. However when loading a signal frame from user space we need to explicitly set used_vsr/used_vr/used_spe to make them consistent with the MSR bits from the signal frame. For example, CRIU application, who utilizes sigreturn to restore checkpointed process, will lead to the case where MSR[VSX] bit is active in signal frame, but used_vsr bit is not set in the kernel. (the same applies to VR/SPE). This patch fixes this by always setting used_* bit when MSR related bits are active in signal frame and we are doing sigreturn. Based on a proposal by Benh.
