This patch allows the kernel to recognized that it was loaded at zero and the copy down of the image is unnecessary. This is useful for Simulators and kexec models. On a typical 3.8 MiB vmlinux.strip this saves about 2.3 million instructions. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

With this patch, kdump uses the firmware soft-reset NMI for two purposes: 1) Initiate the kdump (take a crash dump) by issuing a soft-reset. 2) Break a CPU out of a deadlock condition that is detected during kdump processing. When a soft-reset is initiated each CPU will enter system_reset_exception() and set its corresponding bit in the global bit-array cpus_in_sr then call die(). When die() finds the CPU's bit set in cpu_in_sr crash_kexec() is called to initiate a crash dump. The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() is called the "crashing CPU". All other CPUs are "secondary CPUs". The secondary CPU's pass through to crash_kexec_secondary() and sleep. The crashing CPU waits for all CPUs to enter via soft-reset then boots the kdump kernel (see crash_soft_reset_check()) When the system crashes due to a panic or exception, crash_kexec() is called by panic() or die(). The crashing CPU sends an IPI to all other CPUs to notify them of the pending shutdown. If a CPU is in a deadlock or hung state with interrupts disabled, the IPI will not be delivered. The result being, that the kdump kernel is not booted. This problem is solved with the use of a firmware generated soft-reset. After the crashing_cpu has issued the IPI, it waits for 10 sec for all CPUs to enter crash_ipi_callback(). A CPU signifies its entry to crash_ipi_callback() by setting its corresponding bit in the cpus_in_crash bit array. After 10 sec, if one or more CPUs have not set their bit in cpus_in_crash we assume that the CPU(s) is deadlocked. The operator is then prompted to generate a soft-reset to break the deadlock. Each CPU enters the soft reset handler as described above. Two conditions must be handled at this point: 1) The system crashed because the operator generated a soft-reset. See 2) The system had crashed before the soft-reset was generated ( in the case of a Panic or oops). The first CPU to enter crash_kexec() uses the state of the kexec_lock to determine this state. If kexec_lock is already held then condition 2 is true and crash_kexec_secondary() is called, else; this CPU is flagged as the crashing CPU, the kexec_lock is acquired and crash_kexec() proceeds as described above. Each additional CPUs responding to the soft-reset will pass through crash_kexec() to kexec_secondary(). All secondary CPUs call crash_ipi_callback() readying them self's for the shutdown. When ready they clear their bit in cpus_in_sr. The crashing CPU waits in kexec_secondary() until all other CPUs have cleared their bits in cpus_in_sr. The kexec kernel boot is then started.

In the context save/restore code, the SPU MFC command queue purge code has a bug: static inline void wait_purge_complete(struct spu_state *csa, struct spu *spu) { struct spu_priv2 __iomem *priv2 = spu->priv2; /* Save, Step 28: * Poll MFC_CNTL[Ps] until value '11' is * read * (purge complete). */ POLL_WHILE_FALSE(in_be64(&priv2->mfc_control_RW) & MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE); } This will exit as soon as _one_ of the 2 bits that compose MFC_CNTL_PURGE_DMA_COMPLETE is set, and one of them happens to be "purge in progress"... which means that we'll happily continue restoring the MFC while it's being purged at the same time.

This fixes a bug where we don't properly map SPE MMIO space as guarded, causing various test cases to fail, probably due to write combining and other niceties caused by the lack of the G bit.

Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually call into it until we know its entry point address. Currently we grab that in rtas_initialize(), however that's quite late in the boot sequence. To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove that code.

Currently it's unsafe to call rtas_call() prior to rtas_initialize(). This is because the rtas.entry value hasn't been setup and so we don't know where to enter, but we just try anyway. We can't do anything intelligent without rtas.entry, so if it's not set, just return. Code that calls rtas_call() early needs to be aware that the call might fail.

Initialise the ppc_md htab callbacks earlier, in the probe routines. This allows us to call htab_finish_init() from htab_initialize(), and makes it private to hash_utils_64.c.

Haren Myneni authored
During kdump boot, noticed some machines checkstop on dma protection fault for ongoing DMA left in the first kernel. Instead of initializing TCE entries in iommu_init() for the kdump boot, this patch fixes this issue by walking through the each TCE table and checks whether the entries are in use by the first kernel. If so, reserve those entries by setting the corresponding bit in tbl->it_map such that these entries will not be available for the kdump boot. However it could be possible that all TCE entries might be used up due to the driver bug that does continuous mapping. My observation is around 1700 TCE entries are used on some systems (Ex: P4) at some point of time during kdump boot and saving dump (either write into the disk or sending to remote machine). Hence, this patch will make sure that minimum of 2048 entries will be available such that kdump boot could be successful in some cases.

Builds on ARM report link problems with common configurations like statically linked NFS (for nfsroot). The symptom is that __init section code references __exit section code; that won't work since the exit sections are discarded (since they can never be called). The best fix for these particular cases would be an "__init_or_exit" section annotation.

This reverts commit e5c44fd8. Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem. Daniel says: "[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as module.mod. it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides lsmod looking horrible stuff like this in modprobe.conf: install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom interrupts it" Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
