powerpc/pseries: start rtasd before PCI probing

2016-07-08T09:22:15Z

A strange behaviour is observed when comparing PCI hotplug in QEMU, between x86 and pseries. If you consider the following steps: - start a VM - add a PCI device via the QEMU monitor before the rtasd has started (for example starting the VM in paused state, or hotplug during FW or boot loader) - resume the VM execution The x86 kernel detects the PCI device, but the pseries one does not. This happens because the rtasd kernel worker is currently started under device_initcall, while PCI probing happens earlier under subsys_initcall. As a consequence, if we have a pending RTAS event at boot time, a message is printed and the event is dropped. This patch moves all the initialization of rtasd to arch_initcall, which is run before subsys_call: this way, logging_enabled is true when the RTAS event pops up and it is not lost anymore. The proc fs bits stay at device_initcall because they cannot be run before fs_initcall. Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

param: convert some "on"/"off" users to strtobool

This changes several users of manual "on"/"off" parsing to use strtobool.

powerpc/le: Enable RTAS events support

2014-04-07T00:33:12Z

The current kernel code assumes big endian and parses RTAS events all wrong. The most visible effect is that we cannot honor EPOW events, meaning, for example, we cannot shut down a guest properly from the hypervisor. This new patch is largely inspired by Nathan's work: we get rid of all the bit fields in the RTAS event structures (even the unused ones, for consistency). We also introduce endian safe accessors for the fields used by the kernel (trivial rtas_error_type() accessor added for consistency).

powerpc/pseries: Add /proc interface to control topology updates

2013-04-26T06:08:26Z

There are instances in which we do not want topology updates to occur. In order to allow this a /proc interface (/proc/powerpc/topology_updates) is introduced so that topology updates can be enabled and disabled. This patch also adds a prrn_is_enabled() call so that PRRN events are handled in the kernel only if topology updating is enabled. Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/pseries: Add PRRN RTAS event handler

2013-04-26T06:08:20Z

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message, we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity information about those resources. The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is re-purposed (since no Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the specific resource reassignment. This patch adds a handler for RTAS events. The function pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps (handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing, so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue to allow event processing to continue. PRRN RTAS events on pseries systems are rare events that have to be initiated from the HMC console for the system by an IBM tech. This allows us to assume that these events are widely spaced. Additionally, all work on the queue is flushed before handling any new work to ensure we only have one event in flight being handled at a time.

powerpc/pseries: Cancel RTAS event scan before firmware flash

2011-11-25T03:11:29Z

The RTAS firmware flash update is conducted using an RTAS call that is serialized by lock_rtas() which uses spin_lock. While the flash is in progress, rtasd performs scan for any RTAS events that are generated by the system. rtasd keeps scanning for the RTAS events generated on the machine. This is performed via workqueue mechanism. The rtas_event_scan() also uses an RTAS call to scan the events, eventually trying to acquire the spin_lock before issuing the request. The flash update takes a while to complete and during this time, any other RTAS call has to wait. In this case, rtas_event_scan() waits for a long time on the spin_lock resulting in a soft lockup. Fix: Just before the flash update is performed, the queued rtas_event_scan() work item is cancelled from the work queue so that there is no other RTAS call issued while the flash is in progress. After the flash completes, the system reboots and the rtas_event_scan() is rescheduled.
