Instead of using the platform code names, use the correct platform names
to identify the respective Intel NTB hardware.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Disable DMA usage by default, since the CPU provides much better
performance with write combining. Provide a module parameter to enable
DMA usage when offloading the memcpy is preferred.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Changing the memory window BAR mappings to write combining significantly
boosts the performance. We will also use memcpy that uses non-temporal
store, which showed performance improvement when doing non-cached
memcpys.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Allocate memory for the NUMA node of the NTB device.
Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Allocate memory and request the DMA channel for the same NUMA node as
the NTB device.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
When the ntb transport is connecting and waiting for the peer, the debug
console receives lots of debug level messages about the remote qp link
status being down. Rate limit those messages.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
This is a simple debugging driver that enables the doorbell and
scratch pad registers to be read and written from the debugfs. This
tool enables more complicated debugging to be scripted from user space.
This driver may be used to test that your ntb hardware and drivers are
functioning at a basic level.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
This is a simple ping pong driver that exercises the scratch pads and
doorbells of the ntb hardware. This driver may be used to test that
your ntb hardware and drivers are functioning at a basic level.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Add module parameters for the addresses to be used in B2B topology.
Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Reset the link stats when the link goes down. In particular, the TX and
RX index and count must be reset, or else the TX side will be sending
packets to the RX side where the RX side is not expecting them. Reset
all the stats, to be consistent.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
On link down, don't advance RX index to the next entry. The next entry
should never be valid after receiving the link down flag.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
The same message "qp %d: Link Down\n" was printed at two locations in
ntb_transport. Change the messages so they are distinct.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Set errata flags for the specific device IDs to which they apply,
instead of the whole Xeon hardware class.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Link training should be enabled in the driver probe for root port mode.
We should not have to wait for transport to be loaded for this to
happen. Otherwise the ntb device will not show up on the transparent
bridge side of the link.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
The transport was writing and then reading the peer scratch pad,
essentially reading what it just wrote instead of exchanging any
information with the peer. The transport expects the peer values to be
the same as the local values, so this issue was not obvious.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Change ntb_hw_intel to use the new NTB hardware abstraction layer.
Split ntb_transport into its own driver. Change it to use the new NTB
hardware abstraction layer.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe
Signed-off-by: Jon Mason -
Abstract the NTB device behind a programming interface, so that it can
support different hardware and client drivers.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe

This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the
next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer. Splitting this patch
from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due
to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding
the NTB Abstraction layer.Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe

locking much more fine-grained (get rid of the "big GPIO lock(s)"
and store states in the GPIO descriptors.- rename gpiod_[g|s]et_array() to gpiod_[g|s]et_array_value() to
avoid confusions.- New drivers for:
* NXP LPC18xx (currently LPC1850)

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)

Pull x86 FPU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains two main changes:- The big FPU code rewrite: wide reaching cleanups and reorganization
that pulls all the FPU code together into a clean base in
arch/x86/fpu/.The resulting code is leaner and faster, and much easier to
understand. This enables future work to further simplify the FPU
code (such as removing lazy FPU restores).By its nature these changes have a substantial regression risk: FPU
code related bugs are long lived, because races are often subtle
and bugs mask as user-space failures that are difficult to track
back to kernel side backs. I'm aware of no unfixed (or even
suspected) FPU related regression so far.- MPX support rework/fixes. As this is still not a released CPU
feature, there were some buglets in the code - should be much more
robust now (Dave Hansen)"* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (250 commits)
