cxl: Export library to support IBM XSL

2017-07-03T13:07:03+00:00

This patch exports a in-kernel 'library' API which can be called by other drivers to help interacting with an IBM XSL on a POWER9 system. The XSL (Translation Service Layer) is a stripped down version of the PSL (Power Service Layer) used in some cards such as the Mellanox CX5. Like the PSL, it implements the CAIA architecture, but has a number of differences, mostly in it's implementation dependent registers. The XSL also uses a special DMA cxl mode, which uses a slightly different init sequence for the CAPP and PHB.

Merge branch 'fixes' into next

Merge our fixes branch, a few of them are tripping people up while working on top of next, and we also have a dependency between the CXL fixes and new CXL code we want to merge into next.

2017-06-30T17:55:34+00:00

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "Hopefully the last two powerpc fixes for 4.12. The CXL one is larger than I'd usually send at rc7, but it fixes new code this cycle, so better to have it working for the release. It was actually sent a few weeks back but got blocked in testing behind another fix that was causing issues. We are still tracking one crash in v4.12-rc7, but only one person has reproduced it and the commit identified by bisect doesn't touch any of the relevant code, so I think it's 50/50 whether that commit is actually the problem or it's some code layout / toolchain issue. Two fixes for code we merged this cycle: - cxl: Fixes for Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0 - Avoid miscompilation w/GCC 4.6.3 on 32-bit - don't inline copy_to/from_user() Thanks to Al Viro, Larry Finger, Christophe Lombard" * tag 'powerpc-4.12-8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/32: Avoid miscompilation w/GCC 4.6.3 - don't inline copy_to/from_user() cxl: Fixes for Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0

cxl: Fixes for Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0

2017-06-23T06:26:23+00:00

A previous set of patches "cxl: Add support for Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0" has introduced a new support for the CAPI cards. These patches have been tested on Simulation environment and quite a bit of them have been tested on real hardware. This patch brings new fixes after a series of tests carried out on new equipment: - Add POWER9 definition. - Re-enable any masked interrupts when the AFU is not activated after resetting the AFU. - Remove the api cxl_is_psl8/9 which is no longer useful. - Do not dump CAPI1 registers. - Rewrite cxl_is_page_fault() function. - Do not register slb callack on P9.

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37+00:00

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.
