<content type='text'>
The CPPR (Current Processor Priority Register) of a XICS interrupt
presentation controller contains a value N, such that only interrupts
with a priority "more favoured" than N will be received by the CPU,
where "more favoured" means "less than". So if the CPPR has the value 5
then only interrupts with a priority of 0-4 inclusive will be received.

In theory the CPPR can support a value of 0 to 255 inclusive.
In practice Linux only uses values of 0, 4, 5 and 0xff. Setting the CPPR
to 0 rejects all interrupts, setting it to 0xff allows all interrupts.
The values 4 and 5 are used to differentiate IPIs from external
interrupts. Setting the CPPR to 5 allows IPIs to be received but not
external interrupts.

The CPPR emulation in the OPAL XICS implementation only directly
supports priorities 0 and 0xff. All other priorities are considered
equivalent, and mapped to a single priority value internally. This means
when using icp-opal we can not allow IPIs but not externals.

This breaks Linux's use of priority values when a CPU is hot unplugged.
After migrating IRQs away from the CPU that is being offlined, we set
the priority to 5, meaning we still want the offline CPU to receive
IPIs. But the effect of the OPAL XICS emulation's use of a single
priority value is that all interrupts are rejected by the CPU. With the
CPU offline, and not receiving IPIs, we may not be able to wake it up to
bring it back online.

The first part of the fix is in icp_opal_set_cpu_priority(). CPPR values
of 0 to 4 inclusive will correctly cause all interrupts to be rejected,
so we pass those CPPR values through to OPAL. However if we are called
with a CPPR of 5 or greater, the caller is expecting to be able to allow
IPIs but not external interrupts. We know this doesn't work, so instead
of rejecting all interrupts we choose the opposite which is to allow all
interrupts. This is still not correct behaviour, but we know for the
only existing caller (xics_migrate_irqs_away()), that it is the better
option.

The other part of the fix is in xics_migrate_irqs_away(). Instead of
setting priority (CPPR) to 0, and then back to 5 before migrating IRQs,
we migrate the IRQs before setting the priority back to 5. This should
have no effect on an ICP backend with a working set_priority(), and on
icp-opal it means we will keep all interrupts blocked until after we've
finished doing the IRQ migration. Additionally we wait for 5ms after
doing the migration to make sure there are no IRQs in flight.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix CPU hotplug to handle waking on HVI</title>

The IPIs come in as HVI not EE, so we need to test the appropriate
SRR1 bits. The encoding is such that it won't have false positives
on P7 and P8 so we can just test it like that. We also need to handle
the icp-opal variant of the flush.

<title>powerpc/icp-opal: Fix missing KVM case and harden replay</title>

The icp-opal call is missing the code from icp-native to recover
interrupts snatched by KVM. Without that, when running KVM, we can
get into a situation where an interrupt is lost and the CPU stuck
with an elevated CPPR.

Also harden replay by always checking the return from opal_int_eoi().

NO_IRQ has been == 0 on powerpc for just over ten years (since commit
0ebfff1491ef ("[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change
platforms to use it")). It's also 0 on most other arches.

Although it's fairly harmless, every now and then it causes confusion
when a driver is built on powerpc and another arch which doesn't define
NO_IRQ. There's at least 6 definitions of NO_IRQ in drivers/, at least
some of which are to work around that problem.

So we'd like to remove it. This is fairly trivial in the arch code, we
just convert:

    if (irq == NO_IRQ)	to	if (!irq)
    if (irq != NO_IRQ)	to	if (irq)
    irq = NO_IRQ;	to	irq = 0;
    return NO_IRQ;	to	return 0;

And a few other odd cases as well.

At least for now we keep the #define NO_IRQ, because there is driver
code that uses NO_IRQ and the fixes to remove those will go via other
trees.

Note we also change some occurrences in PPC sound drivers, drivers/ps3,
and drivers/macintosh.

When using the OPAL ICP backend we incorrectly pass Linux CPU numbers
rather than HW CPU numbers to OPAL.

This sets the type of the interrupt appropriately. We set it as follow:

 - If not mapped from the device-tree, we use edge. This is the case
of the virtual interrupts and PCI MSIs for example.

 - If mapped from the device-tree and #interrupt-cells is 2 (PAPR
compliant), we use the second cell to set the appropriate type

 - If mapped from the device-tree and #interrupt-cells is 1 (current
OPAL on P8 does that), we assume level sensitive since those are
typically going to be the PSI LSIs which are level sensitive.

Additionally, we mark the interrupts requested via the opal_interrupts
property all level. This is a bit fishy but the best we can do until we
fix OPAL to properly expose them with a complete descriptor. It is also
correct for the current HW anyway as OPAL interrupts are currently PCI
error and PSI interrupts which are level.

Finally now that edge interrupts are properly identified, we can enable
CONFIG_HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND which will make the core re-send them if
they occur while masked, which some drivers rely upon.

This fixes issues with lost interrupts on some Mellanox adapters.

This adds a new XICS backend that uses OPAL calls, which can be
used when we don't have native support for the platform interrupt
controller.

Function to cause an IPI by directly updating the MFFR register
in the XICS. The function is meant for real-mode callers since
they cannot use the smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi function which uses an
ioremapped address.

Normal usage is for the the KVM real mode code to set the IPI message
using smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass and then invoke icp_native_cause_ipi_rm
to cause the actual IPI.

The function requires kvm_hstate.xics_phys to have been initialized
with the physical address of XICS.
