      powerpc/pseries: Do not start secondaries in Open Firmware · dbe78b40
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Starting secondary CPUs early on from Open Firmware and placing them
      in a holding spin loop slows down the boot process significantly under
      some hypervisors such as KVM.
      
      This is also unnecessary when RTAS supports querying the CPU state
      
      So let's not do it.

      powerpc/zImage: make the "OF" wrapper support ePAPR boot · 0c9fa291
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      This makes the "OF" zImage wrapper (zImage.pseries, zImage.pmac,
      zImage.maple) work if booted via a flat device-tree (ePAPR boot
      mode), and thus potentially usable with kexec.

      powerpc: Remove ksp_limit on ppc64 · cbc9565e
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains
      the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for
      detecting stack overflows.
      
      It has a few problems however:
      
       - First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but
      not actually exploited
      
       - When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update
      is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This
      is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit.
      
      Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical
      future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid
      a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely
      during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the
      asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.

      powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack · 0366a1c7
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
      instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
      softirq stack.
      
      This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
      irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
      the irq stack.
      
      This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
      irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

      cfq: explicitly use 64bit divide operation for 64bit arguments · f3cff25f
      Anatol Pomozov authored
      'samples' is 64bit operant, but do_div() second parameter is 32.
      do_div silently truncates high 32 bits and calculated result
      is invalid.
      
      In case if low 32bit of 'samples' are zeros then do_div() produces
      kernel crash.
