This is a new device driver for a high performance SR-IOV assisted virtual
network for IBM System p and IBM System i systems. The SR-IOV VF will be
attached to the VIOS partition and mapped to the Linux client via the
hypervisor's VNIC protocol that this driver implements.
This driver is able to perform basic tx and rx, new features
and improvements will be added as they are being developed and tested.

On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is
only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic
state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not
completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost.
Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off
or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL
flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this
patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait.
This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure
panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH
in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough
times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer.
The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the
kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic"
message may still be truncated as follows:

This functionality is implemented as a kmsg_dumper as it seems to be the
most sensible way to introduce platform-specific functionality to the
panic function.

Currently we copy the whole mm_context_t to the paca but only access a
few bits of it. This is wasteful of space paca and also takes quite
some time in the hot path of context switching.
This patch pulls in only the required bits from the mm_context_t to
the paca and on context switch, copies only those.
Benchmarking this (On top of Anton's recent MSR context switching
changes [1]) using processes and yield shows an improvement of almost
3% on POWER8:

This code was reworked in commit,
905e75c46dba5f3061049277e4eb7110beedba43
This change removed the fsl_add_bridge() which originally was above
the addition of the pci_exclude_device function. I think the assumption was that
the pci_exclude_device would prevent changes to the bridge PCI config after
it's been added. It seems it wasn't fully tested on MPC85xx ADS because
if you move the fsl_add_bridge() the pci_exclude_device is set in the machine
description then you can never update the PCI Config since the exclude
prevents it. This disrupts things like DMA.
This issue was extensively debugged by David Beazley.

1. Use machine_arch_initcall to hook mpc85xx_common_publish_devices
This can ensure before pcibios_init() is called, pci controllers have

2. Add a workaround for errata A-005434
For the BSC9132, PEX_PEXIWARn[TRGT] for all windows defaults to 0xF,
which is mapped to CCSRBAR. However, for other products, 0xF is
mapped to the local memory. Therefore, for the BSC9132, any default
PCI Express access to the local memory (DDR) will now access the
CCSRBAR. This patch changes the mapping of targets of inbound windows
PEX_PEXIWARn[TRGT] to the Local address space – 0x0 (from 0xF).

Commit 25642e1459ac ("powerpc/opal-irqchip: Fix double endian
conversion") fixed an endian bug by calling opal_handle_events() in
opal_event_unmask().
However this introduced a deadlock if we find an event is active
during unmasking and call opal_handle_events() again. The bad call
sequence is:
opal_interrupt()
-> opal_handle_events()
-> generic_handle_irq()
-> handle_level_irq()
-> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock)
handle_irq_event(desc)
unmask_irq(desc)
-> opal_event_unmask()
-> opal_handle_events()
-> generic_handle_irq()
-> handle_level_irq()
-> raw_spin_lock(&desc->lock) (BOOM)
When generating multiple opal events in quick succession this would lead
to the following stall warnings:
EEH: Fenced PHB#0 detected, location: U78C9.001.WZS09XA-P1-C32

(detected by 20, t=8407 jiffies, g=1325, c=1324, q=1290)
This patch corrects the problem by queuing the work if an event is
active during unmasking, which is similar to the pre-endian fix
behaviour.

NVLink is a high speed interconnect that is used in conjunction with a
PCI-E connection to create an interface between CPU and GPU that
provides very high data bandwidth. A PCI-E connection to a GPU is used
as the control path to initiate and report status of large data
transfers sent via the NVLink.
On IBM Power systems the NVLink processing unit (NPU) is similar to
the existing PHB3. This patch adds support for a new NPU PHB type. DMA
operations on the NPU are not supported as this patch sets the TCE
translation tables to be the same as the related GPU PCIe device for
each NVLink. Therefore all DMA operations are setup and controlled via
the PCIe device.
EEH is not presently supported for the NPU devices, although it may be
added in future.

User space checkpoint and restart tool (CRIU) needs the page's change
to be soft tracked. This allows to do a pre checkpoint and then dump
only touched pages.
This is done by using a newly assigned PTE bit (_PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY) when
the page is backed in memory, and a new _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit when
the page is swapped out.
To introduce a new PTE _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit value common to hash 4k
and hash 64k pte, the bits already defined in hash-*4k.h should be
shifted left by one.
The _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit is dynamically put after the swap type in
the swap pte. A check is added to ensure that the bit is not
overwritten by _PAGE_HPTEFLAGS.

The STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES macro takes both a vector number, and a
location (memory address). However both are always identical, so combine
them to save repeating ourselves.
This does mean an exception handler must always exist at the location in
memory that matches its vector number. But that's OK because this is the
"STD" macro (standard), which does exactly that. We have other macros
for the other cases, eg. STD_EXCEPTION_PSERIES_OOL (out of line).

Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is a macro which is present at the start of most
of our first level exception handlers. It conditionally executes a
HMT_MEDIUM instruction, which sets the processor priority to medium.
On on modern systems, ie. Power7 and later, it is nop'ed out at boot.
All it does is make the exception vectors more cramped, and consume 4
bytes of icache.
On old systems it has the effect of boosting the processor priority at
the start of exception processing. If we were previously in the idle
loop for example, we may be at low or very low priority. This is
desirable as we want to process the exception as fast as possible.
However looking closely at the generated code, we see that in all cases
we execute another HMT_MEDIUM just four instructions later. With code
patching applied, the final code on an old (Power6) system will look
like, eg:
c000000000000300 <data_access_pSeries>:
c000000000000300: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
c000000000000304: 7d b2 43 a6 mtsprg 2,r13
c000000000000308: 7d b1 42 a6 mfsprg r13,1
c00000000000030c: f9 2d 00 80 std r9,128(r13)
c000000000000310: 60 00 00 00 nop
c000000000000314: 7c 42 13 78 mr r2,r2 <-
So I suggest that the added code complexity of HMT_MEDIUM_PPR_DISCARD is
not justified by the benefit of boosting the processor priority for the
duration of four instructions, and therefore we drop it.

Most users of RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction Services) use rtas_call(),
which deals with locking as well as endian handling.
However we have two users outside of rtas.c that can't use rtas_call()
because they have different locking requirements.
The hotplug CPU code can't take the RTAS lock because the CPU would go
offline with the lock held and no other CPUs would be able to call RTAS
until the CPU came back online.
The xmon code doesn't want to take the lock because it would risk dead
locking when we are trying to recover from a crash.
Both sites required multiple patches when we added little endian
support, proving that programmers can't do endian right.
Although that ship has sailed, we can still clean the code up by
providing an unlocked version of rtas_call() which avoids the need to
open code the logic elsewhere.

OPALv2 only ever existed in the lab and didn't escape to the world.
All OPAL systems in the wild are OPALv3.
The probability of there being an OPALv2 system still powered on
anywhere inside IBM is approximately zero, let alone anyone
expecting to run mainline kernels.
So, start to remove references to OPALv2.

The OpenPower Abstraction Layer firmware went through a couple
of iterations in the lab before being released. What we now know
as OPAL advertises itself as OPALv3.
OPALv2 and OPALv1 never made it outside the lab, and the possibility
of anyone at all ever building a mainline kernel today and expecting
it to boot on such hardware is zero.

When running on newer OPAL firmware that supports sending extra
OPAL_MSG types, we would print a warning on *every* message received.
This could be a problem for kernels that don't support OPAL_MSG_OCC
on machines that are running real close to thermal limits and the
OCC is throttling the chip. For a kernel that is paying attention to
the message queue, we could get these notifications quite often.
Conceivably, future message types could also come fairly often,
and printing that we didn't understand them 10,000 times provides
no further information than printing them once.
