powerpc: Handle both new style and old style reserve maps

2013-07-01T22:20:49+00:00

When Jeremy introduced the new device-tree based reserve map, he made
the code in early_reserve_mem_dt() bail out if it found one, thus not
reserving the initrd nor processing the old style map.

I hit problems with variants of kexec that didn't put the initrd in
the new style map either. While these could/will be fixed, I believe
we should be safe here and rather reserve more than not enough.

We could have a firmware passing stuff via the new style map, and
in the middle, a kexec that knows nothing about it and adding other
things to the old style map.

I don't see a big issue with processing both and reserving everything
that needs to be. memblock_reserve() supports overlaps fine these days.

powerpc/prom: Scan reserved-ranges node for memory reservations

2013-06-20T06:55:11+00:00

Based on benh's proposal at
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2012-September/101237.html,
this change provides support for reserving memory from the
reserved-ranges node at the root of the device tree.

We just call memblock_reserve on these ranges for now.

powerpc: Add asm/debug.h to get powerpc_debugfs_root

2012-11-15T01:59:27+00:00

Since the "Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC"
(ae3a197e3d0bfe3f4bf1693723e82dc018c096f3) This has been failing when
DEBUG is #defined.

powerpc+of: Add of node/property notification chain for adds and removes

2012-11-15T01:56:41+00:00

This patch moves the notification chain for updates to the device tree
from the powerpc/pseries code to the base OF code. This makes this
functionality available to all architectures.

Additionally the notification chain is updated to allow notifications
for property add/remove/update. To make this work a pointer to a new
struct (of_prop_reconfig) is passed to the routines in the notification chain.
The of_prop_reconfig property contains a pointer to the node containing the
property and a pointer to the property itself. In the case of property
updates, the property pointer refers to the new property.

powerpc: Change memory_limit from phys_addr_t to unsigned long long

2012-09-07T01:44:30+00:00

There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t.
The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT.

Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency.

This patch does the change only for memory_limit.

The following is a list of such variables which need the change:

 1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c

 2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static
    variable from machine_kexec.c.

Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will
fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change
 the above.

fadump: Reserve the memory for firmware assisted dump.

2012-02-22T23:50:01+00:00

Reserve the memory during early boot to preserve CPU state data, HPTE region
and RMA (real mode area) region data in case of kernel crash. At the time of
crash, powerpc firmware will store CPU state data, HPTE region data and move
RMA region data to the reserved memory area.

If the firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve the memory, then fallback
to existing kexec-based kdump.

Most of the code implementation to reserve memory has been
adapted from phyp assisted dump implementation written by Linas Vepstas
and Manish Ahuja

This patch also introduces a config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP for firmware
assisted dump feature on Powerpc (ppc64) architecture.

memblock: s/memblock_analyze()/memblock_allow_resize()/ and update users

2011-12-08T18:22:08+00:00

The only function of memblock_analyze() is now allowing resize of
memblock region arrays.  Rename it to memblock_allow_resize() and
update its users.

* The following users remain the same other than renaming.

  arm/mm/init.c::arm_memblock_init()
  microblaze/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  openrisc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  sh/mm/init.c::paging_init()
  sparc/mm/init_64.c::paging_init()
  unicore32/mm/init.c::uc32_memblock_init()

* In the following users, analyze was used to update total size which
  is no longer necessary.

  powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()
  powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree()
  powerpc/mm/init_32.c::MMU_init()
  powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash.c::__early_init_mmu()  
  powerpc/platforms/ps3/mm.c::ps3_mm_add_memory()
  powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/wii.c::wii_memory_fixups()
  sh/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel()

* x86/kernel/e820.c::memblock_x86_fill() was directly setting
  memblock_can_resize before populating memblock and calling analyze
  afterwards.  Call memblock_allow_resize() before start populating.

memblock_can_resize is now static inside memblock.c.
