powerpc/pseries: Fix vector5 in ibm architecture vector table

2018-03-06T12:05:38+00:00

With ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 and ibm,drc-info coming around the same
time, byte22 in vector5 of ibm architecture vector table got set twice
separately. The end result is that guest kernel isn't advertising
support for ibm,dynamic-memory-v2.

Fix this by removing the duplicate assignment of byte22.

powerpc/pseries: Revert support for ibm,drc-info devtree property

2018-02-22T03:32:41+00:00

This reverts commit 02ef6dd8109b581343ebeb1c4c973513682535d6.

The earlier patch tried to enable support for a new property
"ibm,drc-info" on powerpc systems.

Unfortunately, some errors in the associated patch set break things
in some of the DLPAR operations.  In particular when attempting to
hot-add a new CPU or set of CPUs, the original patch failed to
properly calculate the available resources, and aborted the operation.
In addition, the original set missed several opportunities to compress
and reuse common code.

As the associated patch set was meant to provide an optimization of
storage and performance of a set of device-tree properties for future
systems with large amounts of resources, reverting just restores
the previous behavior for existing systems.  It seems unnecessary
to enable this feature and introduce the consequent problems in the
field that it will cause at this time, so please revert it for now
until testing of the corrections are finished properly.

powerpc/xive: add XIVE Exploitation Mode to CAS

2017-09-02T11:02:38+00:00

On POWER9, the Client Architecture Support (CAS) negotiation process
determines whether the guest operates in XIVE Legacy compatibility or
in XIVE exploitation mode. Now that we have initial guest support for
the XIVE interrupt controller, let's inform the hypervisor what we can
do.

The platform advertises the XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the
property "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1 :

 - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
 - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only
 - 0b10 XIVE legacy or exploitation mode

The OS asks for XIVE Exploitation Mode support using the property
"ibm,architecture-vec-5", byte 23 bits 0-1:

 - 0b00 XIVE legacy mode Only
 - 0b01 XIVE exploitation mode Only

powerpc: don't fortify prom_init

2017-07-12T23:26:03+00:00

prom_init is a bit special; in theory it should be able to be linked
separately to the kernel.  To keep this from getting too complex, the
symbols that prom_init.c uses are checked.

Fortification adds symbols, and it gets quite messy as it includes
things like panic().  So just don't fortify prom_init.c for now.

powerpc/prom: Increase minimum RMA size to 512MB

2017-04-04T03:27:59+00:00

When booting very large systems with a large initrd, we run out of
space early in boot for either RTAS or the flattened device tree (FDT).
Boot fails with messages like:

	Could not allocate memory for RTAS
or
	No memory for flatten_device_tree (no room)

Increasing the minimum RMA size to 512MB fixes the problem. This
should not have an impact on smaller LPARs (with 256MB memory),
as the firmware will cap the RMA to the memory assigned to the LPAR.

Fix is based on input/discussions with Michael Ellerman. Thanks to
Praveen K. Pandey for testing on a large system.

powerpc: Update to new option-vector-5 format for CAS

2017-03-06T10:44:09+00:00

On POWER9 the ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS) negotiation process
has been updated to change how the host to guest negotiation is done for
the new hash/radix mmu as well as the nest mmu, process tables and guest
translation shootdown (GTSE).

This is documented in the unreleased PAPR ACR "CAS option vector
additions for P9".

The host tells the guest which options it supports in
ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support. The guest then chooses a subset of these
to request in the CAS call and these are agreed to in the
ibm,architecture-vec-5 property of the chosen node.

Thus we read ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support and make our selection before
calling CAS. We then parse the ibm,architecture-vec-5 property of the
chosen node to check whether we should run as hash or radix.

ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support format:

index value pairs:  ... 

index: Option vector 5 byte number
val:   Some representation of supported values

powerpc: Parse the command line before calling CAS

2017-03-06T10:44:08+00:00

On POWER9 the hypervisor requires the guest to decide whether it would
like to use a hash or radix mmu model at the time it calls
ibm,client-architecture-support (CAS) based on what the hypervisor has
said it's allowed to do. It is possible to disable radix by passing
"disable_radix" on the command line. The next patch will add support for
the new CAS format, thus we need to parse the command line before calling
CAS so we can correctly select which mmu we would like to use.
