powerpc: Fix endian issues in kexec and crash dump code

2014-02-11T00:24:52+00:00

We expose a number of OF properties in the kexec and crash dump code and these need to be big endian. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.13 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Fix up the kdump base cap to 128M

2013-12-10T00:28:39+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Mahesh Salgaonkar Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/kdump: Adding symbols in vmcoreinfo to facilitate dump filtering

2013-11-25T00:50:12+00:00

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.

powerpc+of: Rename the drivers/of prom_* functions to of_*

powerpc: Export memory limit via device tree

2012-09-07T01:44:33+00:00

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. Tested this patch on ppc64 and ppc32(ppc440) with a kexec-tools patch by Mahesh. Signed-off-by: Suzuki K. Poulose Tested-by: Mahesh J. Salgaonkar Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Change memory_limit from phys_addr_t to unsigned long long

2012-09-07T01:44:30+00:00

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.

powerpc/irqdomain: Fix broken NR_IRQ references

2012-04-30T00:45:26+00:00

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().

powerpc: Rename mapping based RELOCATABLE to DYNAMIC_MEMSTART for BookE

2011-12-20T15:20:19+00:00

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). Changes since v3: * Introduced a new config, NONSTATIC_KERNEL, to denote a kernel which is either a RELOCATABLE or DYNAMIC_MEMSTART(Suggested by: Josh Boyer) Suggested-by: Scott Wood Tested-by: Scott Wood Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.
