2016-05-11powerpc: Update of_remove_property() call sites to remove null checkingSuraj Jitindar Singh1-13/+5
After obtaining a property from of_find_property() and before calling of_remove_property() most code checks to ensure that the property returned from of_find_property() is not null. The previous patch moved this check to the start of the function of_remove_property() in order to avoid the case where this check isn't done and a null value is passed. This ensures the check is always conducted before taking locks and attempting to remove the property. Thus it is no longer necessary to perform a check for null values before invoking of_remove_property(). Update of_remove_property() call sites in order to remove redundant checking for null property value as check is now performed within the of_remove_property function().

2013-12-10powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128MMahesh Salgaonkar1-1/+1
The current logic sets the kdump base to min of 2G or ppc64_rma_size/2. On PowerNV kernel the first memory block 'memory@0' can be very large, equal to the DIMM size with ppc64_rma_size value capped to 1G. Hence on PowerNV, kdump base is set to 512M resulting kdump to fail while allocating paca array. This is because, paca need its memory from RMA region capped at 256M (see allocate_pacas()). This patch lowers the kdump base cap to 128M so that kdump kernel can successfully get memory below 256M for paca allocation.

2013-11-25powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filteringHari Bathini1-0/+12
When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is used in kernel, makedumpfile fails to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do vmemmap translations. So far dump filtering on ppc64 never had to deal with vmemmap addresses seperately as vmemmap regions where mapped in zone normal. But with the inclusion of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP config option in kernel, this vmemmap address translation support becomes necessary for dump filtering. For vmemmap adress translation, few kernel symbols are needed by dump filtering tool. This patch adds those symbols to vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for filtering the kernel dump. Tested this changes successfully with makedumpfile tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside zone normal.

2012-09-07powerpc: Export memory limit via device treeSuzuki Poulose1-0/+12
The powerpc kernel doesn't export the memory limit enforced by 'mem=' kernel parameter. This is required for building the ELF header in kexec-tools to limit the vmcore to capture only the used memory. On powerpc the kexec-tools depends on the device-tree for memory related information, unlike /proc/iomem on the x86. Without this information, the kexec-tools assumes the entire System RAM and vmcore creates an unnecessarily larger dump. This patch exports the memory limit, if present, via chosen/linux,memory-limit property, so that the vmcore can be limited to the memory limit. The prom_init seems to export this value in the same node. But doesn't really appear there. Also the memory_limit gets adjusted with the processing of crashkernel= parameter. This patch makes sure we get the actual limit. The kexec-tools will use the value to limit the 'end' of the memory regions.

2012-09-07powerpc: Change memory_limit from phys_addr_t to unsigned long longSuzuki Poulose1-1/+1
There are some device-tree nodes, whose values are of type phys_addr_t. The phys_addr_t is variable sized based on the CONFIG_PHSY_T_64BIT. Change these to a fixed unsigned long long for consistency. This patch does the change only for memory_limit. The following is a list of such variables which need the change: 1) kernel_end, crashk_size - in arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c 2) (struct resource *)crashk_res.start - We could export a local static variable from machine_kexec.c. Changing the above values might break the kexec-tools. So, I will fix kexec-tools first to handle the different sized values and then change the above.

2012-04-30powerpc/irqdomain: Fix broken NR_IRQ referencesGrant Likely1-5/+2
The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc interrupt code. Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated. However, with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger than NR_IRQS. This has caused breakage on powermac when CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32. This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro. The powerpc-specific for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time. Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().

2011-12-20powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookESuzuki Poulose1-1/+1
The current implementation of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE in BookE is based on mapping the page aligned kernel load address to KERNELBASE. This approach however is not enough for platforms, where the TLB page size is large (e.g, 256M on 44x). So we are renaming the RELOCATABLE used currently in BookE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART to reflect the actual method. The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for PPC32(BookE) based on processing of the dynamic relocations will be introduced in the later in the patch series. This change would allow the use of the old method of RELOCATABLE for platforms which can afford to enforce the page alignment (platforms with smaller TLB size).

2011-08-05powerpc: Move kdump default base address to half RMO size on 64bitAnton Blanchard1-3/+7
We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with commit b5416ca9f824 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit). This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB. We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with 1TB SLBs in a future patch.

2008-10-22powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernelMohan Kumar M1-0/+2
This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234) is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels. The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in head_64.S. During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter. CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and kdump kernel.

2008-07-26kexec jumpHuang Ying1-1/+1
This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

Commit edd8ce67436851a62f99f1d9707b40ea6a8e5323 (Use extended crashkernel command line on ppc64), changed the logic in reserve_crashkernel() which deals with the crashkernel= command line option. This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option, or it is incorrect. We would fall through and calculate the crash_size based on the existing values in crashk_res. If both start and end are 0, the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong. Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c). Then check if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c). Then we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range. Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB, so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.

2006-08-17[POWERPC] Move some kexec logic into machine_kexec.cMichael Ellerman1-0/+56
We're missing a few functions for kexec to compile on 32-bit. There's nothing really 64-bit specific about the 64-bit versions, so make them generic rather than adding empty definitions for 32-bit.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Merge kexecMichael Ellerman1-0/+67
This patch merges, to some extent, the PPC32 and PPC64 kexec implementations. We adopt the PPC32 approach of having ppc_md callbacks for the kexec functions. The current PPC64 implementation becomes the "default" implementation for PPC64 which platforms can select if they need no special treatment. I've added these default callbacks to pseries/maple/cell/powermac, this means iSeries no longer supports kexec - but it never worked anyway. I've renamed PPC32's machine_kexec_simple to default_machine_kexec, inline with PPC64. Judging by the comments it might be better named machine_kexec_non_of, or something, but at the moment it's the only implementation for PPC32 so it's the "default". Kexec requires machine_shutdown(), which is in machine_kexec.c on PPC32, but we already have in setup-common.c on powerpc. All this does is call ppc_md.nvram_sync, which only powermac implements, so instead make machine_shutdown a ppc_md member and have it call core99_nvram_sync directly on powermac. I've also stuck relocate_kernel.S into misc_32.S for powerpc. Built for ARCH=ppc, and 32 & 64 bit ARCH=powerpc, with KEXEC=y/n. Booted on P5 LPAR and successfully kexec'ed.
