This processor/memory module was mostly used on ATCA blades and
before that, on cPCI blades. It wasn't really user friendly, with
custom non u-boot bootloaders (powerboot/motload) and no real way
to recover corrupted boot flash (which was a common problem).
As such, it had its day back before the big ppc --> powerpc move
to device trees, and that was largely through commercial BSPs that
started to dry up around 2007.
Systems using one were largely in a "deploy and sustain" mode,
so interest in upgrading to new kernels in the field was nil.
Also, requiring 50A, 48V power supplies and a 2'x2'x2' ATCA
chassis largely rules out any hobbyist/enthusiast interest.
The point of all this, is that we might as well delete the in
kernel files relating to this platform. No point in continuing
to build it via walking the defconfigs or via linux-next testing.

The memory remove code for powerpc/pseries should call remove_memory()
so that we are holding the hotplug_memory lock during memory remove
operations.
This patch updates the memory node remove handler to call remove_memory()
and adds a ppc_md.remove_memory() entry to handle pseries specific work
that is called from arch_remove_memory().
During memory remove in pseries_remove_memblock() we have to stay with
removing memory one section at a time. This is needed because of how memory
resources are handled. During memory add for pseries (via the probe file in
sysfs) we add memory one section at a time which gives us a memory resource
for each section. Future patches will aim to address this so will not have
to remove memory one section at a time.

Detect and recover from machine check when inside opal on a special

in this scenario, get a recovery instruction address and return to it from

OPAL will export the machine check recoverable ranges through
device tree node mcheck-recoverable-ranges under ibm,opal:

0000030 llll llll yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy
...
...
#
where:
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx = Starting instruction address
llll llll = Length of the address range.
yyyy yyyy yyyy yyyy = recovery address
Each recoverable address range entry is (start address, len,
recovery address), 2 cells each for start and recovery address, 1 cell for
len, totalling 5 cells per entry. During kernel boot time, build up the
recovery table with the list of recovery ranges from device-tree node which
will be used during machine check exception to recover from MMIO SCOM UE.

When we fork/clone we currently don't copy any of the TM state to the new
thread. This results in a TM bad thing (program check) when the new process is
switched in as the kernel does a tmrechkpt with TEXASR FS not set. Also, since
R1 is from userspace, we trigger the bad kernel stack pointer detection. So we
end up with something like this:
Bad kernel stack pointer 0 at c0000000000404fc
cpu 0x2: Vector: 700 (Program Check) at [c00000003ffefd40]

pid = 0, comm = swapper/2
WARNING: exception is not recoverable, can't continue
The below fixes this by flushing the TM state before we copy the task_struct to
the clone. To do this we go through the tmreclaim patch, which removes the
checkpointed registers from the CPU and transitions the CPU out of TM suspend
mode. Hence we need to call tmrechkpt after to restore the checkpointed state
and the TM mode for the current task.
To make this fail from userspace is simply:

The PHB diag-data is important to help locating the root cause for

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the
area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data --
from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more
space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process.
To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and
KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the
kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes
would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly.
Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when
compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot
currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway.
In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the
amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more.
This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to
preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would
ever be used on a 64-bit process, though.

In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to
decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is
not continuous.
This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher
in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole
between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a
consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing
in a direct way the pages in that hole.
This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to
check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory.

This will typically result in hitting:

When doing reset in order to recover the affected PE, we issue

For the later case, we didn't cover the situation where PE only

The reason for this is that we are linking our VDSO shared libraries

points out that it is valid and we should probably fix perf userspace.
Regardless, I can't see a reason why we are doing this. The code
is all position independent and we never rely on the VDSO ending
up at 1M (and we never place it there on 64bit tasks).
Changing our link address to 0x0 fixes perf VDSO symbol resolution:

Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using
a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of
the PTE modification when necessary).
ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs.
Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks.
The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with
linux page table.
We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing
hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can
end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal.
We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash
flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is
never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid.
This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption.
Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a
way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation
using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate
mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

pte_update() is a powerpc-ism used to change the bits of a PTE
when the access permission is being restricted (a flush is
potentially needed).
It uses atomic operations on when needed and handles the hash
synchronization on hash based processors.
It is currently only used to clear PTE bits and so the current
implementation doesn't provide a way to also set PTE bits.
The new _PAGE_NUMA bit, when set, is actually restricting access
so it must use that function too, so this change adds the ability
for pte_update() to also set bits.
We will use this later to set the _PAGE_NUMA bit.

Fix it by using udelay() in the timeout loop. The wait time and check
frequency are arbitrary, but seem to work OK. We already rely on
udelay() working so this is not a new dependency.

If we enter with xmon_speaker != 0 we skip the first cmpxchg(), we also
skip the while loop because xmon_speaker != last_speaker (0) - meaning we
skip the second cmpxchg() also.
Following that code path the compiler sees no memory barriers and so is
within its rights to never reload xmon_speaker. The end result is we loop
forever.
This manifests as all cpus being in xmon ('c' command), but they refuse
to take control when you switch to them ('c x' for cpu # x).
I have seen this deadlock in practice and also checked the generated code to
confirm this is what's happening.
The simplest fix is just to always try the cmpxchg().

Right now the config_bhrb() PMU specific call happens after
write_mmcr0(), which actually enables the PMU for event counting and
interrupts. So there is a small window of time where the PMU and BHRB
runs without the required HW branch filter (if any) enabled in BHRB.
This can cause some of the branch samples to be collected through BHRB
without any filter applied and hence affects the correctness of
the results. This patch moves the BHRB config function call before
enabling interrupts.
Here are some data points captured via trace prints which depicts how we
could get PMU interrupts with BHRB filter NOT enabled with a standard
perf record command line (asking for branch record information as well).
$ perf record -j any_call ls
Before the patch:-
ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299590: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40000000000
ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299603: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40000000000
...
All the PMU interrupts before this point did not have the requested
HW branch filter enabled in the MMCRA.
ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299647: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40040000000
ls-1962 [003] d... 2065.299662: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40040000000
After the patch:-
ls-1850 [008] d... 190.311828: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40040000000
ls-1850 [008] d... 190.311848: .perf_event_interrupt: MMCRA: 40040000000
All the PMU interrupts have the requested HW BHRB branch filter
enabled in MMCRA.

The powerpc specific nx-842 compression driver does not currently
handle translating a vmalloc address to a physical address.
The current driver uses __pa() for all addresses which does not
properly handle vmalloc addresses and thus causes a failure since
we do not pass a proper physical address to the hypervisor.
This patch adds a routine to convert an address to a physical
address by checking for vmalloc addresses and handling them properly.

We have a driver for the ARCH_RANDOM hook in rng.c, so we should select
ARCH_RANDOM on pseries.
Without this the build breaks if you turn ARCH_RANDOM off.
This hasn't broken the build because pseries_defconfig doesn't specify a
value for PPC_POWERNV, which is default y, and selects ARCH_RANDOM.

Relocation's code is not working in little endian mode because the r_info
field, which is a 64 bits value, should be read from the right offset.
The current code is optimized to read the r_info field as a 32 bits value
starting at the middle of the double word (offset 12). When running in LE
mode, the read value is not correct since only the MSB is read.
This patch removes this optimization which consist to deal with a 32 bits
value instead of a 64 bits one. This way it works in big and little endian
mode.

On p8 systems, with relocation on exception feature enabled we are seeing
kdump kernel hang at interrupt vector 0xc*4400. The reason is, with this
feature enabled, exception are raised with MMU (IR=DR=1) ON with the
default offset of 0xc*4000. Since exception is raised in virtual mode it
requires the vector region to be executable without which it fails to
fetch and execute instruction at 0xc*4xxx. For default kernel since kernel
is loaded at real 0, the htab mappings sets the entire kernel text region
executable. But for relocatable kernel (e.g. kdump case) we only copy
interrupt vectors down to real 0 and never marked that region as
executable because in p7 and below we always get exception in real mode.
This patch fixes this issue by marking htab mapping range as executable
that overlaps with the interrupt vector region for relocatable kernel.
Thanks to Ben who helped me to debug this issue and find the root cause.

Disable relocation on exception while going down even in kdump case. This
is because we are about clear htab mappings while kexec-ing into kdump
kernel and we may run into issues if we still have AIL ON.

Commit f5c57710dd ("powerpc/eeh: Use
partial hotplug for EEH unaware drivers") introduces eeh_rmv_device,
which may grab a reference to a driver, but not release it.
That prevents a driver from being removed after it has gone through EEH
recovery.
This patch drops the reference if it was taken.

Commit 446f6d06fa ("powerpc/mpic: Properly
set default triggers") breaks the mpc7447_hpc_defconfig as follows:
CC arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.o
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c: In function 'mpic_set_irq_type':
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:886:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:890:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:894:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpic.c:898:9: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
Looking at the cpp output (gcc 4.7.3), I see:
case mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_VECPRI_SENSE_EDGE] |
mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_VECPRI_POLARITY_POSITIVE]:
The pointer into an array appears because CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD=y is set
for this platform, thus enabling the following:
-------------------
#ifdef CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD
static u32 mpic_infos[][MPIC_IDX_END] = {
[0] = { /* Original OpenPIC compatible MPIC */
[...]
#define MPIC_INFO(name) mpic->hw_set[MPIC_IDX_##name]
#else /* CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD */
#define MPIC_INFO(name) MPIC_##name
#endif /* CONFIG_MPIC_WEIRD */
-------------------
Here we convert the case section to if/else if, and also add
the equivalent of a default case to warn about unknown types.

While we are at it, don't do kmap() under kmap_atomic(), *especially*
for a page we'd allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It's spelled "page_address",
and had that been more than that, we'd have a real trouble - kmap_high()
can block, and doing that while holding kmap_atomic() is a Bad Idea(tm).
