2010-11-29powerpc: Add VPHN firmware featureJesse Larrew
This simple patch adds the firmware feature for VPHN to the firmware features bitmask. Signed-off-by: Jesse Larrew <jlarrew@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-11-29powerpc: Add support for new hcall H_BEST_ENERGYVaidyanathan Srinivasan
Create sysfs interface to export data from H_BEST_ENERGY hcall that can be used by administrative tools on supported pseries platforms for energy management optimizations. sys/device/system/cpu/pseries_(de)activate_hint_list and sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint will provide hints for activation and deactivation of cpus respectively. These hints are abstract number given by the hypervisor based on the extended knowledge the hypervisor has regarding the system topology and resource mappings. The activate and the deactivate sysfs entry is for the two distinct operations that we could do for energy savings. When we have more capacity than required, we could deactivate few core to save energy. The choice of the core to deactivate will be based on /sys/devices/system/cpu/deactivate_hint_list. The comma separated list of cpus (cores) will be the preferred choice. If we have to activate some of the deactivated cores, then /sys/devices/system/cpu/activate_hint_list will be used. The per-cpu file /sys/device/system/cpu/cpuN/pseries_(de)activate_hint further provide more fine grain information by exporting the value of the hint itself. Added new driver module arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pseries_energy.c under new config option CONFIG_PSERIES_ENERGY Signed-off-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-07-09powerpc/pseries: Migration code reorganization / hibernation prepBrian King
Partition hibernation will use some of the same code as is currently used for Live Partition Migration. This function further abstracts this code such that code outside of rtas.c can utilize it. It also changes the error field in the suspend me data structure to be an atomic type, since it is set and checked on different cpus without any barriers or locking.

2010-05-21powerpc/pseries: Add hcall to read 4 ptes at a time in real modeMichael Neuling
This adds plpar_pte_read_4_raw() which can be used read 4 PTEs from PHYP at a time, while in real mode. It also creates a new hcall9 which can be used in real mode. It's the same as plpar_hcall9 but minus the tracing hcall statistics which may require variables outside the RMO.

2010-04-07powerpc/pseries: Export data from new hcall H_EM_GET_PARMSVaidyanathan Srinivasan
Add support for H_EM_GET_PARMS hcall that will return data related to power modes from the platform. Export the data directly to user space for administrative tools to interpret and use. cat /proc/powerpc/lparcfg will export power mode data Signed-off-by: Vaidyanathan Srinivasan <svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-10-28powerpc: tracing: Add hypervisor call tracepointsAnton Blanchard
Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints. This replaces the inline assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints. To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load. By doing so we keep the overhead at a minimum. Time taken for a null hcall: No tracepoint code: 135.79 cycles Disabled tracepoints: 137.95 cycles For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null hcall of 201.44 cycles!

2008-08-18powerpc: Make CMO paging space pool ID and page size availableRobert Jennings
During platform setup, save off the primary/secondary paging space pool IDs and the page size. Added accessors in hvcall.h for these variables. This is needed for a subsequent fix. Submitted-by: Robert Jennings <rcj@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-08-04powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
