On recent kernels, with some debug options like for instance
CONFIG_LOCKDEP, the BSS requires more than 8M memory, allthough
the kernel code fits in the first 8M.
Today, it is necessary to activate CONFIG_PIN_TLB to get more than 8M
at startup, allthough pinning TLB is not necessary for that.
We could have inconditionaly mapped 16 or 24M bytes at startup
but some old hardware only have 8M and mapping non-existing RAM
would be an issue due to speculative accesses.
With the preceding patch however, the TLB entries are populated on
demand. By setting up the TLB miss handler to handle up to 24M until
the handler is patched for the entire memory space, it is possible
to allow access up to more memory without mapping non-existing RAM.
It is therefore not needed anymore to map memory data at all
at startup. It will be handled by the TLB miss handler.
One might still want to PIN the IMMR and the first 24M of RAM.
It is now possible to do it in the C memory initialisation
functions. In addition, we now know how much memory we have
when we do it, so we are able to adapt the pining to the
real amount of memory available. So boards with less than 24M
can now also benefit from PIN_TLB.

Instead of using the first level page table to define mappings for
the linear memory space, we can use direct mapping from the TLB
handling routines. This has several advantages:
* No need to read the tables at each TLB miss
* No issue in 16k pages mode where the 1st level table maps 64 Mbytes
The size of the available linear space is known at system startup.
In order to avoid data access at each TLB miss to know the memory
size, the TLB routine is patched at startup with the proper size
This patch provides a 10%-15% improvment of TLB miss handling for
kernel addresses

Once the linear memory space has been mapped with 8Mb pages, as
seen in the related commit, we get 11 millions DTLB missed during
the reference 600s period. 77% of the misses are on user addresses
and 23% are on kernel addresses (1 fourth for linear address space
and 3 fourth for virtual address space)
Traditionaly, each driver manages one computer board which has its
own components with its own memory maps.
But on embedded chips like the MPC8xx, the SOC has all registers
located in the same IO area.
When looking at ioremaps done during startup, we see that
many drivers are re-mapping small parts of the IMMR for their own use
and all those small pieces gets their own 4k page, amplifying the
number of TLB misses: in our system we get 0xff000000 mapped 31 times
and 0xff003000 mapped 9 times.
Even if each part of IMMR was mapped only once with 4k pages, it would
still be several small mappings towards linear area.
This patch maps the IMMR with a single 512k page.
With this patch applied, the number of DTLB misses during the 10 min
period is reduced to 11.8 millions for a duration of 5.8s, which
represents 2% of the non-idle time hence yet another 10% reduction.

Memory: 124428K/131072K available (3748K kernel code, 188K rwdata,
648K rodata, 508K init, 290K bss, 6644K reserved)
Kernel virtual memory layout:
* 0xfffdf000..0xfffff000 : fixmap
* 0xfde00000..0xfe000000 : consistent mem
* 0xfddf6000..0xfde00000 : early ioremap
* 0xc9000000..0xfddf6000 : vmalloc & ioremap
SLUB: HWalign=16, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=1, Nodes=1
Today, IMMR is mapped 1:1 at startup
Mapping IMMR 1:1 is just wrong because it may overlap with another
area. On most mpc8xx boards it is OK as IMMR is set to 0xff000000
but for instance on EP88xC board, IMMR is at 0xfa200000 which
overlaps with VM ioremap area
This patch fixes the virtual address for remapping IMMR with the fixmap
regardless of the value of IMMR.
The size of IMMR area is 256kbytes (CPM at offset 0, security engine
at offset 128k) so a 512k page is enough

On some environments (prototype machines, some simulators, etc...)
there is no functional interrupt source to signal completion, so
we rely on the fairly slow OPAL heartbeat.
In a number of cases, the calls complete very quickly or even
immediately. We've observed that it helps a lot to wakeup the OPAL
heartbeat thread before waiting for event in those cases, it will
call OPAL immediately to collect completions for anything that
finished fast enough.

A strange behaviour is observed when comparing PCI hotplug in QEMU, between
x86 and pseries. If you consider the following steps:
- start a VM
- add a PCI device via the QEMU monitor before the rtasd has started (for
example starting the VM in paused state, or hotplug during FW or boot
loader)
- resume the VM execution
The x86 kernel detects the PCI device, but the pseries one does not.
This happens because the rtasd kernel worker is currently started under
device_initcall, while PCI probing happens earlier under subsys_initcall.
As a consequence, if we have a pending RTAS event at boot time, a message
is printed and the event is dropped.
This patch moves all the initialization of rtasd to arch_initcall, which is
run before subsys_call: this way, logging_enabled is true when the RTAS
event pops up and it is not lost anymore.
The proc fs bits stay at device_initcall because they cannot be run before
fs_initcall.

The domain/PHB field of PCI addresses has its value obtained from a
global variable, incremented each time a new domain (represented by
struct pci_controller) is added on the system. The domain addition
process happens during boot or due to PHB hotplug add.
As recent kernels are using predictable naming for network interfaces,
the network stack is more tied to PCI naming. This can be a problem in
hotplug scenarios, because PCI addresses will change if devices are
removed and then re-added. This situation seems unusual, but it can
happen if a user wants to replace a NIC without rebooting the machine,
for example.
This patch changes the way PCI domain values are generated: now, we use
device-tree properties to assign fixed PHB numbers to PCI addresses
when available (meaning pSeries and PowerNV cases). We also use a bitmap
to allow dynamic PHB numbering when device-tree properties are not
used. This bitmap keeps track of used PHB numbers and if a PHB is
released (by hotplug operations for example), it allows the reuse of
this PHB number, avoiding PCI address to change in case of device remove
and re-add soon after. No functional changes were introduced.

For memory hotplug to work, the MMU code needs to provide the functions
create_section_mapping() and remove_section_mapping() to respectively
map and unmap portions of the linear mapping.

just error out. This fixes the build with configurations such as 64-bit

This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so
that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the
user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in
the firmware and other nasty things.
Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When
compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be
compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a
later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of
OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console
also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.

Power ISAv3 adds a large decrementer (LD) mode which increases the size
of the decrementer register. The size of the enlarged decrementer
register is between 32 and 64 bits with the exact size being dependent
on the implementation. When in LD mode, reads are sign extended to 64
bits and a decrementer exception is raised when the high bit is set (i.e
the value goes below zero). Writes however are truncated to the physical
register width so some care needs to be taken to ensure that the high
bit is not set when reloading the decrementer. This patch adds support
for using the LD inside the host kernel on processors that support it.
When LD mode is supported firmware will supply the ibm,dec-bits property
for CPU nodes to allow the kernel to determine the maximum decrementer
value. Enabling LD mode is a hypervisor privileged operation so the kernel
can only enable it manually when running in hypervisor mode. Guests that
support LD mode can request it using the "ibm,client-architecture-support"
firmware call (not implemented in this patch) or some other platform
specific method. If this property is not supplied then the traditional
decrementer width of 32 bit is assumed and LD mode will not be enabled.
This patch was based on initial work by Jack Miller.

If ppc_rtas() is called with args.nargs == 16 and args.nret == 0,
args.rets is set to point to &args.args[16], which is beyond the end of

when we check the first return code (which, per PAPR, is a required
output of all RTAS calls) to see if there's been a hardware error.
Change the nargs/nret check to ensure nargs is <= 15, allowing room for
the status code. Users shouldn't be calling with nret == 0, but there's
no real harm if they do, so we don't stop them.

Commit d6a9996e84ac ("powerpc/mm: vmalloc abstraction in preparation for
radix") turned kernel memory and IO addresses from #defined constants to
variables initialised at runtime.
On PA6T (pasemi) systems the setup_arch() machine call initialises the
onboard PCI-e root-ports, and uses pci_io_base to do this, which is now
before its value has been set, resulting in a panic early in boot before
console IO is initialised.
Move the pci_io_base initialisation to the same place as vmalloc ranges
are set (hash__early_init_mmu()/radix__early_init_mmu()) - this is the
earliest possible place we can initialise it.

Implement new character device driver to allow access from user space
to the operator panel display present on IBM Power Systems machines
with FSPs.
This will allow status information to be presented on the display which
is visible to a user.
The driver implements a character buffer which a user can read/write
by accessing the device (/dev/op_panel). This buffer is then displayed on
the operator panel display. Any attempt to write past the last character
position will have no effect and attempts to write more characters than
the size of the display will be truncated. The device may only be accessed
by a single process at a time.
