      of: Remove duplicate fields from of_platform_driver · 4018294b
      Grant Likely authored 
      

.name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
and device_driver.  This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.

This patch is a pretty mechanical change.  The usage model doesn't change
and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
will be trivial.  This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
many files, but it should be pretty safe.

      powerpc/pseries: Make request_ras_irqs() available to other pseries code · 32c96f77
      Mark Nelson authored 
      

At the moment only the RAS code uses event-sources interrupts (for EPOW
events and internal errors) so request_ras_irqs() (which actually requests
the event-sources interrupts) is found in ras.c and is static.

We want to be able to use event-sources interrupts in other pseries code,
so let's rename request_ras_irqs() to request_event_sources_irqs() and
move it to event_sources.c.

This will be used in an upcoming patch that adds support for IO Event
interrupts that come through as event sources.

      powerpc: Use smt_snooze_delay=-1 to always busy loop · b878dc00
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      

Right now if we want to busy loop and not give up any time to the hypervisor
we put a very large value into smt_snooze_delay. This is sometimes useful
when running a single partition and you want to avoid any latencies due
to the hypervisor or CPU power state transitions. While this works, it's a bit
ugly - how big a number is enough now we have NO_HZ and can be idle for a very
long time.

The patch below makes smt_snooze_delay signed, and a negative value means loop
forever:

echo -1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/smt_snooze_delay

This change shouldn't affect the existing userspace tools (eg ppc64_cpu), but
I'm cc-ing Nathan just to be sure.

      powerpc/kexec: Speedup kexec hash PTE tear down · d504bed6
      Michael Neuling authored 
      

Currently for kexec the PTE tear down on 1TB segment systems normally
requires 3 hcalls for each PTE removal. On a machine with 32GB of
memory it can take around a minute to remove all the PTEs.

This optimises the path so that we only remove PTEs that are valid.
It also uses the read 4 PTEs at once HCALL.  For the common case where
a PTEs is invalid in a 1TB segment, this turns the 3 HCALLs per PTE
down to 1 HCALL per 4 PTEs.

This gives an > 10x speedup in kexec times on PHYP, taking a 32GB
machine from around 1 minute down to a few seconds.

      powerpc: Avoid bad relocations in iSeries code · e62cee42
      Paul Mackerras authored 
      

Subrata Modak reported that building a CONFIG_RELOCATABLE kernel with
CONFIG_ISERIES enabled gives the following warnings:

WARNING: 4 bad relocations
c00000000007216e R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHEST  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8
c000000000072172 R_PPC64_ADDR16_HIGHER  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8

c00000000007217e R_PPC64_ADDR16_LO  __ksymtab+0x00000000009dcec8

The reason is that decrementer_iSeries_masked is using
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE to get the address of a kernel symbol, which
creates relocations that aren't handled by the kernel relocator code.

Instead of reading the tb_ticks_per_jiffy variable, we can just set
the decrementer to its maximum value (0x7fffffff) and that will work
just as well.  In fact timer_interrupt sets the decrementer to that
value initially anyway, and we are sure to get into timer_interrupt
once interrupts are reenabled because we store 1 to the decrementer
interrupt flag in the lppaca (LPPACADECRINT(r12) here).

      powerpc: Use common cpu_die (fixes SMP+SUSPEND build) · abb17f9c
      Milton Miller authored 
      

Configuring a powerpc 32 bit kernel for both SMP and SUSPEND turns on
CPU_HOTPLUG to enable disable_nonboot_cpus to be called by the common
suspend code.  Previously the definition of cpu_die for ppc32 was in
the powermac platform code, causing it to be undefined if that platform
as not selected.

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function 'cpu_idle':
arch/powerpc/kernel/idle.c:98: undefined reference to 'cpu_die'

Move the code from setup_64 to smp.c and rename the power mac
versions to their specific names.

Note that this does not setup the cpu_die pointers in either
smp_ops (request a given cpu die) or ppc_md (make this cpu die),
for other platforms but there are generic versions in smp.c.

      driver-core: Add device node pointer to struct device · d706c1b0
      Grant Likely authored 
      

Currently, platforms using CONFIG_OF add a 'struct device_node *of_node'
to dev->archdata.  However, with CONFIG_OF becoming generic for all
architectures, it makes sense for commonality to move it out of archdata
and into struct device proper.

This patch adds a struct device_node *of_node member to struct device
and updates all locations which currently write the device_node pointer
into archdata to also update dev->of_node.  Subsequent patches will
modify callers to use the archdata location and ultimately remove
the archdata member entirely.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo authored 
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py



The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
