powerpc/powernv: Remove separate entry for OPAL real mode calls

2017-02-07T05:40:18Z

All entry points already read the MSR so they can easily do the right thing. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/powernv: Initialise nest mmu

2017-01-30T09:24:33Z

POWER9 contains an off core mmu called the nest mmu (NMMU). This is used by other hardware units on the chip to translate virtual addresses into real addresses. The unit attempting an address translation provides the majority of the context required for the translation request except for the base address of the partition table (ie. the PTCR) which needs to be programmed into the NMMU. This patch adds a call to OPAL to set the PTCR for the nest mmu in opal_init(). Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/powernv: Define real-mode versions of OPAL XICS accessors

2016-11-22T23:32:11Z

This defines real-mode versions of opal_int_get_xirr(), opal_int_eoi() and opal_int_set_mfrr(), for use by KVM real-mode code. It also exports opal_int_set_mfrr() so that the modular part of KVM can use it to send IPIs. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Set server for passed-through interrupts

2016-09-12T00:12:28Z

When a guest has a PCI pass-through device with an interrupt, it will direct the interrupt to a particular guest VCPU. In fact the physical interrupt might arrive on any CPU, and then get delivered to the target VCPU in the emulated XICS (guest interrupt controller), and eventually delivered to the target VCPU. Now that we have code to handle device interrupts in real mode without exiting to the host kernel, there is an advantage to having the device interrupt arrive on the same sub(core) as the target VCPU is running on. In this situation, the interrupt can be delivered to the target VCPU without any exit to the host kernel (using a hypervisor doorbell interrupt between threads if necessary). This patch aims to get passed-through device interrupts arriving on the correct core by setting the interrupt server in the real hardware XICS for the interrupt to the first thread in the (sub)core where its target VCPU is running. We do this in the real-mode H_EOI code because the H_EOI handler already needs to look at the emulated ICS state for the interrupt (whereas the H_XIRR handler doesn't), and we know we are running in the target VCPU context at that point. We set the server CPU in hardware using an OPAL call, regardless of what the IRQ affinity mask for the interrupt says, and without updating the affinity mask. This amounts to saying that when an interrupt is passed through to a guest, as a matter of policy we allow the guest's affinity for the interrupt to override the host's. This is inspired by an earlier patch from Suresh Warrier, although none of this code came from that earlier patch. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Put exception configuration in a common place

2016-07-21T08:56:31Z

The various calls to establish exception endianness and AIL are now done from a single point using already established CPU and FW feature bits to decide what to do. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/opal: Add real mode call wrappers

2016-07-17T06:42:46Z

Replace the old generic opal_call_realmode() with proper per-call wrappers similar to the normal ones and convert callers. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/powernv: Add XICS emulation APIs

2016-07-15T10:18:43Z

OPAL provides an emulated XICS interrupt controller to use as a fallback on newer processors that don't have a XICS. It's meant as a way to provide backward compatibility with future processors. Add the corresponding interfaces. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Stewart Smith Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/opal: Wake up kopald polling thread before waiting for events

2016-07-08T09:53:26Z

On some environments (prototype machines, some simulators, etc...) there is no functional interrupt source to signal completion, so we rely on the fairly slow OPAL heartbeat. In a number of cases, the calls complete very quickly or even immediately. We've observed that it helps a lot to wakeup the OPAL heartbeat thread before waiting for event in those cases, it will call OPAL immediately to collect completions for anything that finished fast enough.

powerpc/powernv: Add driver for operator panel on FSP machines

2016-06-29T07:33:46Z

Implement new character device driver to allow access from user space to the operator panel display present on IBM Power Systems machines with FSPs. This will allow status information to be presented on the display which is visible to a user. The driver implements a character buffer which a user can read/write by accessing the device (/dev/op_panel). This buffer is then displayed on the operator panel display. Any attempt to write past the last character position will have no effect and attempts to write more characters than the size of the display will be truncated. The device may only be accessed by a single process at a time. Signed-off-by: Suraj Jitindar Singh Reviewed-by: Andrew Donnellan Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
