Recently we merged the native xive support for Power9, and then separately some
reworks for doorbell IPI support. In isolation both series were OK, but the
merged result had a bug in one case.

On P9 DD1 we use pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi() which tries to use doorbells, and then
falls back to the interrupt controller. However the fallback is implemented by
calling icp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi. But now that xive support is merged we might be
using xive, in which case icp_ops is not initialised, it's a xics specific
structure. This leads to an oops such as:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000028
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  NIP pnv_p9_dd1_cause_ipi+0x74/0xe0
  LR smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass+0x54/0x70

To fix it, rather than using icp_ops which might be NULL, have both xics and
xive set smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi, and then in the powernv code we save that as
ic_cause_ipi before overriding smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi. For paranoia add a WARN_ON()
to check if somehow smp_ops-&gt;cause_ipi is NULL.

Change the doorbell callers to know about their msgsnd addressing,
rather than have them set a per-cpu target data tag at boot that gets
sent to the cause_ipi functions. The data is only used for doorbell IPI
functions, no other IPI types, so it makes sense to keep that detail
local to doorbell.

Have the platform code understand doorbell IPIs, rather than the
interrupt controller code understand them. Platform code can look at
capabilities it has available and decide which to use.

<title>powerpc: Consolidate variants of real-mode MMIOs</title>

We have all sort of variants of MMIO accessors for the real mode
instructions. This creates a clean set of accessors based on
Linux normal naming conventions, replacing all occurrences of
the old ones in the tree.

I have purposefully removed the "out/in" variants in favor of
only including __raw variants. Any code using these is already
pretty much hand tuned to operate in a very specific environment.
I've fixed up the 2 users (only one of them actually needed
a barrier in the first place).

<title>powerpc/xics: Work around limitations of OPAL XICS priority handling</title>

<id>a69e2fb70350a66f91175cd2625f1e8215c5b6e9</id>
<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.

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.

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().

<title>powerpc: Remove all usages of NO_IRQ</title>

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.
