Backend driver to dynamically set voltage and frequency on
IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms. Power management SPRs
are used to set the required PState.This driver works in conjunction with cpufreq governors
like 'ondemand' to provide a demand based frequency and
voltage setting on IBM POWER non-virtualized platforms.PState table is obtained from OPAL v3 firmware through device
tree.powernv_cpufreq back-end driver would parse the relevant device-tree
nodes and initialise the cpufreq subsystem on powernv platform.The code was originally written by svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com. Over
time it was modified to accomodate bug-fixes as well as updates to the
the cpu-freq core. Relevant portions of the change logs corresponding
to those modifications are noted below:* The policy->cpus needs to be populated in a hotplug-invariant
manner instead of using cpu_sibling_mask() which varies with
cpu-hotplug. This is because the cpufreq core code copies this
content into policy->related_cpus mask which should not vary on
cpu-hotplug. [Authored by srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com]* Create a helper routine that can return the cpu-frequency for the
corresponding pstate_id. Also, cache the values of the pstate_max,
pstate_min and pstate_nominal and nr_pstates in a static structure
so that they can be reused in the future to perform any
validations. [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]* Create a driver attribute named cpuinfo_nominal_freq which creates
a sysfs read-only file named cpuinfo_nominal_freq. Export the
frequency corresponding to the nominal_pstate through this
interface.Nominal frequency is the highest non-turbo frequency for the
platform. This is generally used for setting governor policies
from user space for optimal energy efficiency. [Authored by
ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]* Implement a powernv_cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu) method which will
return the current operating frequency. Export this via the sysfs
interface cpuinfo_cur_freq by setting powernv_cpufreq_driver.get to
powernv_cpufreq_get(). [Authored by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com][Change log updated by ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com]

The current kernel code assumes big endian and parses RTAS events all
wrong. The most visible effect is that we cannot honor EPOW events,
meaning, for example, we cannot shut down a guest properly from the
hypervisor.This new patch is largely inspired by Nathan's work: we get rid of all
the bit fields in the RTAS event structures (even the unused ones, for
consistency). We also introduce endian safe accessors for the fields used
by the kernel (trivial rtas_error_type() accessor added for consistency).Cc: Nathan Fontenot

our improved cpuidle support for the "powernv" platform

cost of losing the timers while asleep, and thus exploits the new

"This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
complicated than usual.This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
window. I will describe it a bit more further down.There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch. Since I
didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
for a while now. I'll send a separate pull request for it.Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch

…aulus/powerpc into kvm-next
-
Currently we save the host PMU configuration, counter values, etc.,
when entering a guest, and restore it on return from the guest.
(We have to do this because the guest has control of the PMU while
it is executing.) However, we missed saving/restoring the SIAR and
SDAR registers, as well as the registers which are new on POWER8,
namely SIER and MMCR2.This adds code to save the values of these registers when entering
the guest and restore them on exit. This also works around the bug
in POWER8 where setting PMAE with a counter already negative doesn't
generate an interrupt.Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
Acked-by: Scott Wood -
With HV KVM, some high-frequency hypercalls such as H_ENTER are handled
in real mode, and need to access the memslots array for the guest.
Accessing the memslots array is safe, because we hold the SRCU read
lock for the whole time that a guest vcpu is running. However, the
checks that kvm_memslots() does when lockdep is enabled are potentially
unsafe in real mode, when only the linear mapping is available.
Furthermore, kvm_memslots() can be called from a secondary CPU thread,
which is an offline CPU from the point of view of the host kernel,
and is not running the task which holds the SRCU read lock.To avoid false positives in the checks in kvm_memslots(), and to avoid
possible side effects from doing the checks in real mode, this replaces
kvm_memslots() with kvm_memslots_raw() in all the places that execute
in real mode. kvm_memslots_raw() is a new function that is like
kvm_memslots() but uses rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() instead of
kvm_dereference_check().Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

This adds saving of the transactional memory (TM) checkpointed state
on guest entry and exit. We only do this if we see that the guest has
an active transaction.It also adds emulation of the TM state changes when delivering IRQs
into the guest. According to the architecture, if we are
transactional when an IRQ occurs, the TM state is changed to
suspended, otherwise it's left unchanged.Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling

When the guest does an MMIO write which is handled successfully by an
ioeventfd, ioeventfd_write() returns 0 (success) and
kvmppc_handle_store() returns EMULATE_DONE. Then
kvmppc_emulate_mmio() converts EMULATE_DONE to RESUME_GUEST_NV and
this causes an exit from the loop in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv(), causing an
exit back to userspace with a bogus exit reason code, typically
causing userspace (e.g. qemu) to crash with a message about an unknown
exit code.This adds handling of RESUME_GUEST_NV in kvmppc_vcpu_run_hv() in order
to fix that. For generality, we define a helper to check for either
of the return-to-guest codes we use, RESUME_GUEST and RESUME_GUEST_NV,
to make it easy to check for either and provide one place to update if
any other return-to-guest code gets defined in future.Since it only affects Book3S HV for now, the helper is added to
the kvm_book3s.h header file.We use the helper in two places in kvmppc_run_core() as well for
future-proofing, though we don't see RESUME_GUEST_NV in either place
at present.[paulus@samba.org - combined 4 patches into one, rewrote description]

PCI suspend/resume work and misc bits. -
While checking powersaving mode in machine check handler at 0x200, we
clobber CFAR register. Fix it by saving and restoring it during beq/bgt.Signed-off-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar

The previous commit added constraint and register handling to allow
processes using EBB (Event Based Branches) to request access to the BHRB
(Branch History Rolling Buffer).With that in place we can allow processes using EBB to access the BHRB.
This is achieved by setting BHRBA in MMCR0 when we enable EBB access. We
must also clear BHRBA when we are disabling.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Some power8 revisions have a hardware bug where we can lose a PMU
exception, this commit adds a workaround to detect the bad condition and
rectify the situation.See the comment in the commit for a full description.

Some power8 revisions have a hardware bug where we can lose a
Performance Monitor (PMU) exception under certain circumstances.We will be adding a workaround for this case, see the next commit for
details. The observed behaviour is that writing PMAO doesn't cause an
exception as we would expect, hence the name of the feature.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Currently the sysrq ShowRegs command does not print any PMU registers as
we have an empty definition for perf_event_print_debug(). This patch
defines perf_event_print_debug() to print various PMU registers.Example output:
CPU: 0 PMU registers, ppmu = POWER7 n_counters = 6

and then wait for the response.This patch uses messaging infrastructure to pull the data to linux

Add predicate functions for having arch_get_random[_seed]*(). The
only current use is to avoid the loop in arch_random_refill() when
arch_get_random_seed_long() is unavailable.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

Upcoming Intel silicon adds a new RDSEED instruction, which is similar
to RDRAND but provides a stronger guarantee: unlike RDRAND, RDSEED
will always reseed the PRNG from the true random number source between
each read. Thus, the output of RDSEED is guaranteed to be 100%
entropic, unlike RDRAND which is only architecturally guaranteed to be
1/512 entropic (although in practice is much more.)The RDSEED instruction takes the same time to execute as RDRAND, but
RDSEED unlike RDRAND can legitimately return failure (CF=0) due to
entropy exhaustion if too many threads on too many cores are hammering
the RDSEED instruction at the same time. Therefore, we have to be
more conservative and only use it in places where we can tolerate
failures.This patch introduces the primitives arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}()
but does not use it yet.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin
