powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines. This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running in hypervisor mode. OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it. Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware. The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be removed.

powerpc: Check return value of instance-to-package OF call On PA-Semi firmware, the instance-to-package callback doesn't seem to be implemented. We didn't check for error, however, thus subsequently passed the -1 value returned into stdout_node to thins like prom_getprop etc... Thus caused the firmware to load values around 0 (physical) internally as node structures. It somewhat "worked" as long as we had a NULL in the right place (address 8) at the beginning of the kernel, we didn't "see" the bug. But commit 5c0484e25ec03243d4c2f2d4416d4a13efc77f6a "powerpc: Endian safe trampoline" changed the kernel entry point causing that old bug to now cause a crash early during boot. This fixes booting on PA-Semi board by properly checking the return value from instance-to-package.

powerpc/pmac: Early debug output on screen on 64-bit macs We have a bunch of CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_* options that are intended for bringup/debug only. They hard wire a machine specific udbg backend very early on (before we even probe the platform), and use whatever tricks are available on each machine/cpu to be able to get some kind of output out there early on. So far, on powermac with no serial ports, we have CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX to use the low-level btext engine on the screen, but it doesn't do much, at least on 64-bit. It only really gets enabled after the platform has been probed and the MMU enabled. This adds a way to enable it much earlier. From prom_init.c (while still running with Open Firmware), we grab the screen details and set things up using the physical address of the frame buffer. Then btext itself uses the "rm_ci" feature of the 970 processor (Real Mode Cache Inhibited) to access it while in real mode. We need to do a little bit of reorg of the btext code to inline things better, in order to limit how much we touch memory while in this mode as the consequences might be ... interesting. This successfully allowed me to debug problems early on with the G5 (related to gold being broken vs. ppc64 kernels). Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc: Fix -mcmodel=medium breakage in prom_init.c Commit 5ac47f7a6efb (powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit) made prom_init.c position independent by manually relocating its entries in the TOC. We get the address of the TOC entries with the __prom_init_toc_start linker symbol. If __prom_init_toc_start ends up as an entry in the TOC then we need to add an offset to get the current address. This is the case for older toolchains. On the other hand, if we have a newer toolchain that supports -mcmodel=medium then __prom_init_toc_start will be created by a relative offset from r2 (the TOC pointer). Since r2 has already been relocated, nothing more needs to be done. Adding an offset in this case is wrong and Aaro Koskinen and Alexander Graf have noticed noticed G5 and OpenBIOS breakage. Alan Modra suggested we just use r2 to get at the TOC which is simpler and works with both old and new toolchains.

powerpc: Relocate prom_init.c on 64bit The ppc64 kernel can get loaded at any address which means our very early init code in prom_init.c must be relocatable. We do this with a pretty nasty RELOC() macro that we wrap accesses of variables with. It is very fragile and sometimes we forget to add a RELOC() to an uncommon path or sometimes a compiler change breaks it. 32bit has a much more elegant solution where we build prom_init.c with -mrelocatable and then process the relocations manually. Unfortunately we can't do the equivalent on 64bit and we would have to build the entire kernel relocatable (-pie), resulting in a large increase in kernel footprint (megabytes of relocation data). The relocation data will be marked __initdata but it still creates more pressure on our already tight memory layout at boot. Alan Modra pointed out that the 64bit ABI is relocatable even if we don't build with -pie, we just need to relocate the TOC. This patch implements that idea and relocates the TOC entries of prom_init.c. An added bonus is there are very few relocations to process which helps keep boot times on simulators down. gcc does not put 64bit integer constants into the TOC but to be safe we may want a build time script which passes through the prom_init.c TOC entries to make sure everything looks reasonable.

powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookE The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size). Changes since v3: * Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer) Suggested-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Tested-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.

This patch add the necessary code to detect that the OPAL takeover capability is present when running under PowerVM (aka pHyp) and perform said takeover to get hypervisor control of the processor. To perform the takeover, we must first use RTAS (within Open Firmware runtime environment) to start all processors & threads, in order to give control to OPAL on all of them.

powerpc: Fix device tree claim code I have a box that fails in OF during boot with: DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400 at %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768 %SRR1: 800000004000b002 ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string. Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB) but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will never call alloc_up and claim more memory. Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the available address space. This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with an obvious error.

powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinity Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7. Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we need to use the new form 1 affinity information. We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points array. If not we use the second field as we always have. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc/pseries: Pass more accurate number of supported cores to firmware Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp. The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS). However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with. This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust the value passed to firmware.

powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA note Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from 12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage. (The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me" flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note (at least on most pSeries machines). To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities(). So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec. However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from it and transfers it to the zImage.

powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc: Make it possible to move the interrupt handlers away from the kernel This changes the way that the exception prologs transfer control to the handlers in 64-bit kernels with the aim of making it possible to have the prologs separate from the main body of the kernel. Now, instead of computing the address of the handler by taking the top 32 bits of the paca address (to get the 0xc0000000........ part) and ORing in something in the bottom 16 bits, we get the base address of the kernel by doing a load from the paca and add an offset. This also replaces an mfmsr and an ori to compute the MSR value for the handler with a load from the paca. That makes it unnecessary to have a separate version of EXCEPTION_PROLOG_PSERIES that forces 64-bit mode. We can no longer use a direct branches in the exception prolog code, which means that the SLB miss handlers can't branch directly to .slb_miss_realmode any more. Instead we have to compute the address and do an indirect branch. This is conditional on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE; for non-relocatable kernels we use a direct branch as before. (A later change will allow CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to be set on 64-bit powerpc.) Since the secondary CPUs on pSeries start execution in the first 0x100 bytes of real memory and then have to get to wherever the kernel is, we can't use a direct branch to get there. Instead this changes __secondary_hold_spinloop from a flag to a function pointer. When it is set to a non-NULL value, the secondary CPUs jump to the function pointed to by that value. Finally this eliminates one code difference between 32-bit and 64-bit by making __secondary_hold be the text address of the secondary CPU spinloop rather than a function descriptor for it.

The kernel's fixups for Efika already correct one instance of 'chrp', in the 'device_type' property.

[POWERPC] Efika: prune fixups and make them more carefull Prune back Efika fixups to only include changes that are actually required to get a working system. Most of the drivers can accept the compatible properties, even if they don't match the what is recommented in the generic names recommended practice document. This patch also adds extra checks so that fixups are not performed blindly. Instead, the code first verifies that the device tree is faulty before making any changes. This way, if the Efika firmware is updated to fix these issues, then the fixups will no longer get applied. At this point; here is the list of fixups needed for the efika: 1. If the device_type property on the root node is 'chrp', then Linux won't boot. Change device_type to 'efika' to avoid this condition 2. Add full interrupt list to the bestcomm node. In actual fact, the bestcomm interrupts property is technically correct, it just doesn't expose the same granularity as the device driver expects. All other 5200 device trees provide a separate irq number for each bestcomm channel. Rather than hack the driver, it's simpler to fix it up 3. /builtin/sound node is missing an interrupts property 4. /builtin/ethernet node is missing a phy-handle property and the device driver doesn't know what to do without one.

[POWERPC] Advertise correct IDE mode on Pegasos2 The built-in IDE controller is configured in legacy mode, but the PCI registers advertise native mode. Force the PCI class into legacy mode. This allows pata_via to access two drives. The Pegasos specific irq enforcement in the via82cxxx driver must stay because there is apparently no generic way to setup irq per channel.

[POWERPC] Donate idle CPU cycles on dedicated partitions A Power6 can give up CPU cycles on a dedicated CPU (as opposed to a shared CPU) to other shared processors if the administrator asks for it (via the HMC). This enables that to work properly on P6. This just involves setting a bit in the CAS structure as well as the VPA. To donate cycles, a CPU has to have all SMT threads idle and have the donate bit set in the VPA. Then call H_CEDE. The reason why shared processors just aren't used is because dedicated CPUs are guaranteed an actual processor, yet the system is still able to increase the capacity of the shared CPU pool. Also rename the VPA's cpuctls_task_attrs field to a more accurate name. Signed-off-by: Jake Moilanen <moilanen@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

[POWERPC] Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory nodes For PAPR partitions with large amounts of memory, the firmware has an alternative, more compact representation for the information about the memory in the partition and its NUMA associativity information. This adds the code to the kernel to parse this alternative representation. The other part of this patch is telling the firmware that we can handle the alternative representation. There is however a subtlety here, because the firmware will invoke a reboot if the memory representation we request is different from the representation that firmware is currently using. This is because firmware can't change the representation on the fly. Further, some firmware versions used on POWER5+ machines have a bug where this reboot leaves the machine with an altered value of load-base, which will prevent any kernel booting until it is reset to the normal value (0x4000). Because of this bug, we do NOT set fake_elf.rpanote.new_mem_def = 1, and thus we do not request the new representation on POWER5+ and earlier machines. We do request the new representation on POWER6, which uses the ibm,client-architecture-support call. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

[POWERPC] Distinguish POWER6 partition modes and tell userspace This adds code to look at the properties firmware puts in the device tree to determine what compatibility mode the partition is in on POWER6 machines, and set the ELF aux vector AT_HWCAP and AT_PLATFORM entries appropriately. Specifically, we look at the cpu-version property in the cpu node(s). If that contains a "logical" PVR value (of the form 0x0f00000x), we call identify_cpu again with this PVR value. A value of 0x0f000001 indicates the partition is in POWER5+ compatibility mode, and a value of 0x0f000002 indicates "POWER6 architected" mode, with various extensions disabled. We also look for various other properties: ibm,dfp, ibm,purr and ibm,spurr. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

[PATCH] powerpc: Unify mem= handling We currently do mem= handling in three seperate places. And as benh pointed out I wrote two of them. Now that we parse command line parameters earlier we can clean this mess up. Moving the parsing out of prom_init means the device tree might be allocated above the memory limit. If that happens we'd have to move it. As it happens we already have logic to do that for kdump, so just genericise it. This also means we might have reserved regions above the memory limit, if we do the bootmem allocator will blow up, so we have to modify lmb_enforce_memory_limit() to truncate the reserves as well.

[PATCH] Fix pSeries identification in prom_init.c The OF trampoline code prom_init.c still needs to identify IBM pSeries (PAPR) machines in order to run some platform specific code on them like instanciating the TCE tables. The code doing that detection was changed recently in 2.6.17 early stages but was done slightly incorrectly. It should be testing for an exact match of "chrp" and it currently tests for anything that begins with "chrp". That means it will incorrectly match with platforms using Maple-like device-trees and have open firmware. This fixes it by using strcmp instead of strncmp to match what the actual platform detection code does.

[PATCH] cell: add platform detection code I can't really get a conclusive answer from the firmware people what to check for, so I just try scanning for anything that starts with "IBM,CPB", which should be correct for all hardware produced so far and for systemsim.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add a is_kernel_addr() macro There's a bunch of code that compares an address with KERNELBASE to see if it's a "kernel address", ie. >= KERNELBASE. The proper test is actually to compare with PAGE_OFFSET, since we're going to change KERNELBASE soon. So replace all of them with an is_kernel_addr() macro that does that.

[PATCH] powerpc: merge code values for identifying platforms This patch merges platform codes. systemcfg->platform is no longer used, systemcfg use in general is deprecated as much as possible (and renamed _systemcfg before it gets completely moved elsewhere in a future patch), _machine is now used on ppc64 along as ppc32. Platform codes aren't gone yet but we are getting a step closer. A bunch of asm code in head[_64].S is also turned into C code.

ppc/powerpc: workarounds for old Open Firmware versions This adds code to work around some problems with old versions of Open Firmware, such as on the early powermacs (7500 etc.) and the "Longtrail" CHRP machine. On these machines we have to claim the physical and virtual address ranges explicitly when claiming memory and then set up a V->P mapping. The Longtrail has more problems: setprop doesn't work, and we have to set an "allow-reclaim" variable to 0 in order to get claim on physical memory ranges to fail if the memory is already claimed.

[PATCH] powerpc: Purge bootinfo.h With ARCH=powerpc we assume the presence of a device tree, so we don't require any support for the old bi_recs method of passing boot parameters. Likewise, we've never needed it for ppc64, but we still had an include/asm-ppc64/bootinfo.h from which nothing was used. This patch removes that file, and all references to it in arch/ppc64 and arch/powerpc. A related, unused variable 'boot_mem_size' is also removed from setup_32.c. The bootinfo stuff remains in ARCH=ppc for the time being. Built and booted on Power5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), built for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc).

powerpc: Fixes to get the Longtrail CHRP a bit further Talk about buggy firmware... the OF on the Longtrail returns 0 from the claim client service rather than -1 when the claim fails. It also has no device_type on the /memory node and blows up if the output buffer for package-to-path is too big. This also fixes a bug with calling alloc_up with align == 0, where we did _ALIGN_UP(alloc_bottom, 0) which will end up as 0. Lastly, we now check the return value (in r3) from calling the prom, and return -1 from call_prom if we get a negative value back. That is supposed to indicate that the requested client service doesn't exist. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc: Run on old powermacs. Old powermacs have a number of differences from current machines: - there is no interrupt tree in the device tree, just interrupt or AAPL,interrupt properties - the chosen node in the device tree is called /chosen@0 - the OF claim method doesn't map the memory, so we have to do an explicit map call as well - there is no /chosen/cpu property on SMP machines - the NVRAM isn't structured as a set of partitions. This adapts the merged powermac support code to cope with these issues. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc: Merge in 64-bit powermac support. This brings in a lot of changes from arch/ppc64/kernel/pmac_*.c to arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/*.c and makes various minor tweaks elsewhere. On the powermac we now initialize ppc_md by copying the whole pmac_md structure into it, which required some changes in the ordering of initializations of individual fields of it.

powerpc: Initialize btext subsystem later, after prom_init We were initializing the btext stuff from prom_init(), thus breaking the rule that all communication between prom_init() and the rest of the kernel has to be via the flattened device tree. This removes the btext initialization calls from prom_init() and initializes it instead after the device tree is unflattened. It would be nice to do it earlier, but that needs some more infrastructure to find the properties we need in the flattened device tree. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc: Merge in the ppc64 version of the prom code. This brings in the ppc64 version of prom_init.c, prom.c and btext.c and makes them work for ppc32. This also brings in the new calling convention, where the first entry to the kernel (with r5 != 0) goes to the prom_init code, which then restarts from the beginning (with r5 == 0) after it has done its stuff. For now this also brings in the ppc32 version of setup.c. It also merges lmb.h. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
