powerpc/pseries: Add support for IO event interrupts

2011-05-06T03:19:01+00:00

This patch adds support for handling IO Event interrupts which come through at the /event-sources/ibm,io-events device tree node. The interrupts come through ibm,io-events device tree node are generated by the firmware to report IO events. The firmware uses the same interrupt to report multiple types of events for multiple devices. Each device may have its own event handler. This patch implements a plateform interrupt handler that is triggered by the IO event interrupts come through ibm,io-events device tree node, pull in the IO events from RTAS and call device event handlers registered in the notifier list. Device event handlers are expected to use atomic_notifier_chain_register() and atomic_notifier_chain_unregister() to register/unregister their event handler in pseries_ioei_notifier_list list with IO event interrupt. Device event handlers are responsible to identify if the event belongs to the device event handler. The device event handle should return NOTIFY_OK after the event is handled if the event belongs to the device event handler, or NOTIFY_DONE otherwise.

powerpc/xics: Rewrite XICS driver

2011-04-20T01:02:35+00:00

This is a significant rework of the XICS driver, too significant to conveniently break it up into a series of smaller patches to be honest. The driver is moved to a more generic location to allow new platforms to use it, and is broken up into separate ICP and ICS "backends". For now we have the native and "hypervisor" ICP backends and one common RTAS ICS backend. The driver supports one ICP backend instanciation, and many ICS ones, in order to accomodate future platforms with multiple possibly different interrupt "sources" mechanisms.

powerpc: Add support for new hcall H_BEST_ENERGY

2010-11-29T04:48:19+00:00

Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries platforms for energy management optimizations. sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively. These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the system topology and resource mappings. The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two distinct operations that we could do for energy savings. When we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few core to save energy. The choice of the core to deactivate will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list. The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred choice. If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores, then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used. The per-cpu file /sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of the hint itself. Added new driver module arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pseries_energy.c under new config option CONFIG_PSERIES_ENERGY Signed-off-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/Makefiles: Change to new flag variables

powerpc/pseries: Partition migration in the kernel

2010-10-13T05:19:03+00:00

Enable partition migration in the kernel. To do this a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mobility/migration, is created. In order to initiate a migration the stream id (generated by the HMC managing the system) is written to this file. After a migration occurs, and what is the majority of this code, the device tree needs to be updated for the new system the partition is running on. This is done via the ibm,update-nodes and ibm,update-properties rtas calls which return information regarding which nodes and properties of the device tree are to be added/removed/updated.

powerpc/pseries: Partition hibernation support

2010-07-09T01:26:17+00:00

Enables support for HMC initiated partition hibernation. This is a firmware assisted hibernation, since the firmware handles writing the memory out to disk, along with other partition information, so we just mimic suspend to ram. Signed-off-by: Brian King Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/pseries: Make request_ras_irqs() available to other pseries code

2010-05-21T07:31:12+00:00

At the moment only the RAS code uses event-sources interrupts (for EPOW events and internal errors) so request_ras_irqs() (which actually requests the event-sources interrupts) is found in ras.c and is static. We want to be able to use event-sources interrupts in other pseries code, so let's rename request_ras_irqs() to request_event_sources_irqs() and move it to event_sources.c. This will be used in an upcoming patch that adds support for IO Event interrupts that come through as event sources. Signed-off-by: Mark Nelson Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/pseries: Kernel DLPAR Infrastructure

2009-12-09T06:09:32+00:00

The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call and added to the device tree. This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named dlpar.c. The functionality provided is for acquiring and releasing a resource from firmware and the parsing of information returned from the ibm,configure-connector rtas call. Additionally this exports the pSeries reconfiguration notifier chain so that it can be invoked when device tree updates are made.

powerpc/chrp: Use the same RTAS daemon as pSeries

2009-10-30T06:20:53+00:00

The CHRP code has some fishy timer based code to scan the RTAS event log, which uses a 1KB stack buffer and doesn't even use the results. The pSeries code as a nicer daemon that allows userspace to read the event log and basically uses the same RTAS interface This patch moves rtasd.c out of platform/pseries and makes it usable by CHRP, after removing the old crufty event log mechanism in there. The nvram logging part of the daemon is still only available on 64-bit since the underlying nvram management routines aren't currently shared. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Add virtual processor dispatch trace log

2009-03-24T02:47:28+00:00

pseries SPLPAR machines are able to retrieve a log of dispatch and preempt events from the hypervisor. With this information, we can see when and why each dispatch & preempt is occuring. This change adds a set of debugfs files allowing userspace to read this dispatch log. Based on initial patches from Nishanth Aravamudan .
