Noticing the following might_sleep warning (dump_stack()) during kdump
testing when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP is enabled. All secondary CPUs
will be calling rtas_set_indicator with interrupts disabled to remove
them from global interrupt queue.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:463
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():1

To fix this issue, rtas_set_indicator_fast() is added so that will not
wait for RTAS 'busy' delay and this new function is used for kdump (in
xics_teardown_cpu()) and for CPU hotplug ( xics_migrate_irqs_away() and
xics_setup_cpu()).

Note that the platform architecture spec says that set-indicator
on the indicator we're using here is not permitted to return the
busy or extended busy status codes.

We should not be calling power4_enable_pmcs() in
pseries_lpar_enable_pmcs(); just doing the hypercall is sufficient.
Prior to 2.6.15 we did not call power4_enable_pmcs() for an lpar.

power4_enable_pmcs() tries to read the hid0 register which is no
longer legal for an lpar in newer Power processors.

<title>[POWERPC] Use H_CEDE on non-SMT</title>

<content type='text'>
On the JS21 systems, they have the SPLPAR hypertas set, but are not SMT
capable.  So, they are not making the H_CEDE call.  This is causing the
hypervisor to have to queue up work for the hdecr, taking an excessive
amount of time in maintenance code, and causing jitter on the box.

Making the H_CEDE call helps alleviate that problem.

<title>[PATCH] powerpc: fix trigger handling in the new irq code</title>
<updated>2006-07-10T20:24:20Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Benjamin Herrenschmidt</name>
</author>
<published>2006-07-10T11:44:42Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=6e99e4582861578fb00d84d085f8f283569f51dd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:6e99e4582861578fb00d84d085f8f283569f51dd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch slightly reworks the new irq code to fix a small design error.  I
removed the passing of the trigger to the map() calls entirely, it was not a
good idea to have one call do two different things.  It also fixes a couple of
corner cases.

Mapping a linux virtual irq to a physical irq now does only that.  Setting the
trigger is a different action which has a different call.

The main changes are:

- I no longer call host-&gt;ops-&gt;map() for an already mapped irq, I just return
  the virtual number that was already mapped.  It was called before to give an
  opportunity to change the trigger, but that was causing issues as that could
  happen while the interrupt was in use by a device, and because of the
  trigger change, map would potentially muck around with things in a racy way.
   That was causing much burden on a given's controller implementation of
  map() to get it right.  This is much simpler now.  map() is only called on
  the initial mapping of an irq, meaning that you know that this irq is _not_
  being used.  You can initialize the hardware if you want (though you don't
  have to).

- Controllers that can handle different type of triggers (level/edge/etc...)
  now implement the standard irq_chip-&gt;set_type() call as defined by the
  generic code.  That means that you can use the standard set_irq_type() to
  configure an irq line manually if you wish or (though I don't like that
  interface), pass explicit trigger flags to request_irq() as defined by the
  generic kernel interfaces.  Also, using those interfaces guarantees that
  your controller set_type callback is called with the descriptor lock held,
  thus providing locking against activity on the same interrupt (including
  mask/unmask/etc...) automatically.  A result is that, for example, MPIC's
  own map() implementation calls irq_set_type(NONE) to configure the hardware
  to the default triggers.

- To allow the above, the irq_map array entry for the new mapped interrupt
  is now set before map() callback is called for the controller.

- The irq_create_of_mapping() (also used by irq_of_parse_and_map()) function
  for mapping interrupts from the device-tree now also call the separate
  set_irq_type(), and only does so if there is a change in the trigger type.

- While I was at it, I changed pci_read_irq_line() (which is the helper I
  would expect most archs to use in their pcibios_fixup() to get the PCI
  interrupt routing from the device tree) to also handle a fallback when the
  DT mapping fails consisting of reading the PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN to know wether
  the device has an interrupt at all, and the the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE to get an
  interrupt number from the device.  That number is then mapped using the
  default controller, and the trigger is set to level low.  That default
  behaviour works for several platforms that don't have a proper interrupt
  tree like Pegasos.  If it doesn't work for your platform, then either
  provide a proper interrupt tree from the firmware so that fallback isn't
  needed, or don't call pci_read_irq_line()

- Add back a bit that got dropped by my main rework patch for properly
  clearing pending IPIs on pSeries when using a kexec

<title>[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=0ebfff1491ef85d41ddf9c633834838be144f69f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0ebfff1491ef85d41ddf9c633834838be144f69f</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).

This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.

For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.

the platforms except for the embedded 6xx machines, to use the new
genirq framework.
