We must not handle EEH error on devices which are passed to somebody
else. Instead, we expect that the frozen device owner detects an EEH
error and recovers from it.
This avoids EEH error handling on passed through devices so the device
owner gets a chance to handle them.

mpic_msgrs has type struct mpic_msgr **, not struct mpic_msgr *, so the
elements of the array should have pointer type, not structure type.
The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which
could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and
it is also a bit nicer to read.

The general idea is that each core will release all of its
threads into the secondary thread startup code, which will
eventually wait in the secondary core holding area, for the
appropriate bit in the PACA to be set. The kick_cpu function
pointer will set that bit in the PACA, and thus "release"
the core/thread to boot. We also need to do a few things that
U-Boot normally does for CPUs (like enable branch prediction).

Power8 has a new register (MMCR2), which contains individual freeze bits
for each counter. This is an improvement on previous chips as it means
we can have multiple events on the PMU at the same time with different
exclude_{user,kernel,hv} settings. Previously we had to ensure all
events on the PMU had the same exclude settings.
The core of the patch is fairly simple. We use the 207S feature flag to
indicate that the PMU backend supports per-event excludes, if it's set
we skip the generic logic that enforces the equality of excludes between
events. We also use that flag to skip setting the freeze bits in MMCR0,
the PMU backend is expected to have handled setting them in MMCR2.
The complication arises with EBB. The FCxP bits in MMCR2 are accessible
R/W to a task using EBB. Which means a task using EBB will be able to
see that we are using MMCR2 for freezing, whereas the old logic which
used MMCR0 is not user visible.
The task can not see or affect exclude_kernel & exclude_hv, so we only
need to consider exclude_user.
The table below summarises the behaviour both before and after this
commit is applied:
exclude_user true false
------------------------------------
| User visible | N N
Before | Can freeze | Y Y
| Can unfreeze | N Y
------------------------------------
| User visible | Y Y
After | Can freeze | Y Y
| Can unfreeze | Y/N Y
------------------------------------
So firstly I assert that the simple visibility of the exclude_user
setting in MMCR2 is a non-issue. The event belongs to the task, and
was most likely created by the task. So the exclude_user setting is not
privileged information in any way.
Secondly, the behaviour in the exclude_user = false case is unchanged.
This is important as it is the case that is actually useful, ie. the
event is created with no exclude setting and the task uses MMCR2 to
implement exclusion manually.
For exclude_user = true there is no meaningful change to freezing the
event. Previously the task could use MMCR2 to freeze the event, though
it was already frozen with MMCR0. With the new code the task can use
MMCR2 to freeze the event, though it was already frozen with MMCR2.
The only real change is when exclude_user = true and the task tries to
use MMCR2 to unfreeze the event. Previously this had no effect, because
the event was already frozen in MMCR0. With the new code the task can
unfreeze the event in MMCR2, but at some indeterminate time in the
future the kernel will overwrite its setting and refreeze the event.
Therefore my final assertion is that any task using exclude_user = true
and also fiddling with MMCR2 was deeply confused before this change, and
remains so after it.

A lot of the code in platforms/pseries is using non-machine initcalls.
That means if a kernel built with pseries support runs on another
platform, for example powernv, the initcalls will still run.
Most of these cases are OK, though sometimes only due to luck. Some were
having more effect:
* hcall_inst_init
- Checking FW_FEATURE_LPAR which is set on ps3 & celleb.
* mobility_sysfs_init
- created sysfs files unconditionally
- but no effect due to ENOSYS from rtas_ibm_suspend_me()
* apo_pm_init
- created sysfs, allows write

That means if a kernel built with powernv support runs on another

That is usually OK, because the initcalls will check for something in
the device tree or elsewhere before doing anything, so on other
platforms they will usually just return.
But it's fishy for powernv code to be running on other platforms, so
switch them all to be machine initcalls. If we want any of them to run
on other platforms in future they should move to sysdev.

Currently we have sys_sigpending and sys_old_getrlimit defined to use

in systbl.S.
This seems to have been done when ppc and ppc64 were merged, in commit
9994a33 "Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S".
AFAICS there's no longer (or never was) any need for this, we can just
use SYSX() for both and remove the #defines to sys_ni_syscall.
The expansion before was:
#define COMPAT_SYS(func) .llong .sys_##func,.compat_sys_##func
#define sys_old_getrlimit sys_ni_syscall
COMPAT_SYS(old_getrlimit)
=>
.llong .sys_old_getrlimit,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit
=>
.llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit
After is:
#define SYSX(f, f3264, f32) .llong .f,.f3264
SYSX(sys_ni_syscall, compat_sys_old_getrlimit, sys_old_getrlimit)
=>
.llong .sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit
ie. they are equivalent.

in the pseries dlpar code with the assumption kobject initialization would
occur in of_node_add. The second commit had the side effect of triggering a

This allows us to write tools that monitor the frequency and duration

OPAL_HANDLE_INTERRUPT 5 0.199 0.037 0.042 0.040 12547.545

We have an unconditional branch that gets noped out during boot and

By using jump labels we can simplify this to just a single nop that

This fixes IODA1/2 to use it_page_shift as it may be bigger than 4K.
This changes involved constant values to use "ull" modifier.

We are seeing a lot of PMU warnings on POWER8:
Can't find PMC that caused IRQ
Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU
exception on the transition from negative to 0. Some versions of POWER8
have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows.
A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left),
where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or
just ensure that period_left is always >= 1.
This patch takes the second option.

powerpc:allmodconfig has been failing for some time with the following
error.
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1312: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1
A number of attempts to fix the problem by moving around code have been
unsuccessful and resulted in failed builds for some configurations and
the discovery of toolchain bugs.
Fix the problem by disabling RELOCATABLE for COMPILE_TEST builds instead.
While this is less than perfect, it avoids substantial code changes
which would otherwise be necessary just to make COMPILE_TEST builds
happy and might have undesired side effects.

On POWER8 when switching to a KVM guest we set bits in MMCR2 to freeze
the PMU counters. Aside from on boot they are then never reset,
resulting in stuck perf counters for any user in the guest or host.
We now set MMCR2 to 0 whenever enabling the PMU, which provides a sane
state for perf to use the PMU counters under either the guest or the
host.
This was manifesting as a bug with ppc64_cpu --frequency:
$ sudo ppc64_cpu --frequency
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 0
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 8
...
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 144
WARNING: couldn't run on cpu 152
min: 18446744073.710 GHz (cpu -1)
max: 0.000 GHz (cpu -1)
avg: 0.000 GHz
The command uses a perf counter to measure CPU cycles over a fixed
amount of time, in order to approximate the frequency of the machine.
The counters were returning zero once a guest was started, regardless of
weather it was still running or had been shut down.
By dumping the value of MMCR2, it was observed that once a guest is
running MMCR2 is set to 1s - which stops counters from running:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo p > /proc/sysrq-trigger'
CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER8 n_counters = 6
PMC1: 5b635e38 PMC2: 00000000 PMC3: 00000000 PMC4: 00000000

This is done unconditionally in book3s_hv_interrupts.S upon entering the
guest, and the original value is only save/restored if the host has
indicated it was using the PMU. This is okay, however the user of the
PMU needs to ensure that it is in a defined state when it starts using
it.

Instead of separate bits for every POWER8 PMU feature, have a single one
for v2.07 of the architecture.
This saves us adding a MMCR2 define for a future patch.
