2010-03-07Driver core: Constify struct sysfs_ops in struct kobj_typeEmese Revfy
Constify struct sysfs_ops. This is part of the ops structure constification effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al. Benefits of this constification: * prevents modification of data that is shared (referenced) by many other structure instances at runtime * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional) modification attempts on archs that enforce read-only kernel data at runtime * potentially better optimized code as the compiler can assume that the const data cannot be changed * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata and therefore exclude them from false sharing Signed-off-by: Emese Revfy <re.emese@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com> Acked-by: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@intel.com> Acked-by: Hans J.

2010-03-01KVM: PPC: Keep SRR1 flags around in shadow_msrAlexander Graf
SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a missing htab entry or not. We use that information to speed up the exit path. Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values, we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great. So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set the MSR. They don't hurt. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2010-03-01KVM: PPC: Call SLB patching code in interrupt safe mannerAlexander Graf
Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code. To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced with a similar problem and did the same thing: A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and then RFIs info the actual handler. Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching part.

2010-03-01KVM: PPC: Use PACA backed shadow vcpuAlexander Graf
We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault. After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there. That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it less racy and less complex. Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2010-02-17powerpc: Convert global "BAD" interrupt to per cpu spuriousAnton Blanchard
I often get asked if BAD interrupts are really bad. On some boxes (eg IBM machines running a hypervisor) there are valid cases where are presented with an interrupt that is not for us. These cases are common enough to show up as thousands of BAD interrupts a day. Tone them down by calling them spurious. Since they can be a significant cause of OS jitter, we may as well log them per cpu so we know where they are occurring.

2010-02-17powerpc: Add timer, performance monitor and machine check counts to ↵Anton Blanchard
/proc/interrupts With NO_HZ it is useful to know how often the decrementer is going off. The patch below adds an entry for it and also adds it into the /proc/stat summaries. While here, I added performance monitoring and machine check exceptions. I found it useful to keep an eye on the PMU exception rate when using the perf tool. Since it's possible to take a completely handled machine check on a System p box it also sounds like a good idea to keep a machine check summary. The event naming matches x86 to keep gratuitous differences to a minimum. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-02-17powerpc: Rework /proc/interruptsAnton Blanchard
On a large machine I noticed the columns of /proc/interrupts failed to line up with the header after CPU9. At sufficiently large numbers of CPUs it becomes impossible to line up the CPU number with the counts. While fixing this I noticed x86 has a number of updates that we may as well pull in. On PowerPC we currently omit an interrupt completely if there is no active handler, whereas on x86 it is printed if there is a non zero count. The x86 code also spaces the first column correctly based on nr_irqs. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2010-02-04powerpc/pseries: Pass more accurate number of supported cores to firmwareBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Updated variant of a patch by Joel Schopp. The field containing the number of supported cores which we pass to firmware via the ibm,client-architecture call was set by a previous patch statically as high as is possible (NR_CPUS). However, that value isn't quite right for a system that supports multiple threads per core, thus permitting the firmware to assign more cores to a Linux partition than it can really cope with. This patch improves it by using the device-tree to determine the number of threads supported by the processors in order to adjust the value passed to firmware.

It does not account for SMT, so it may result in cpus assigned to Linux which cannot be booted. A second patch follows that dynamically updates this for SMT. The second field just indicates that our OS is Linux, and not another OS. The system may or may not use this hint to performance tune settings for Linux.
