powerpc/xive: Fix trying to "push" an already active pool VP

2018-04-24T07:43:08Z

commit b32e56e5a87a1f9243db92bc7a5df0ffb4627cfb upstream. When setting up a CPU, we "push" (activate) a pool VP for it. However it's an error to do so if it already has an active pool VP. This happens when doing soft CPU hotplug on powernv since we don't tear down the CPU on unplug. The HW flags the error which gets captured by the diagnostics. Fix this by making sure to "pull" out any already active pool first.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable use of the new XIVE "single escalation" feature

2018-01-19T01:10:21Z

That feature, provided by Power9 DD2.0 and later, when supported by newer OPAL versions, allows us to sacrifice a queue (priority 7) in favor of merging all the escalation interrupts of the queues of a single VP into a single interrupt. This reduces the number of host interrupts used up by KVM guests especially when those guests use multiple priorities. It will also enable a future change to control the masking of the escalation interrupts more precisely to avoid spurious ones. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

treewide: make "nr_cpu_ids" unsigned

2017-09-09T01:26:48Z

First, number of CPUs can't be negative number. Second, different signnnedness leads to suboptimal code in the following cases: 1) kmalloc(nr_cpu_ids * sizeof(X)); "int" has to be sign extended to size_t. 2) while (loff_t *pos < nr_cpu_ids) MOVSXD is 1 byte longed than the same MOV. Other cases exist as well. Basically compiler is told that nr_cpu_ids can't be negative which can't be deduced if it is "int".

powerpc: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name

2017-08-23T12:27:04Z

Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing of the full path string for each node.

Merge branch 'kvm-ppc-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD

2017-05-09T09:50:01Z

The main thing here is a new implementation of the in-kernel XICS interrupt controller emulation for POWER9 machines, from Ben Herrenschmidt. POWER9 has a new interrupt controller called XIVE (eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) which is able to deliver interrupts directly to guest virtual CPUs in hardware without hypervisor intervention. With this new code, the guest still sees the old XICS interface but performance is better because the XICS emulation in the host uses the XIVE directly rather than going through a XICS emulation in firmware.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller

2017-04-27T11:37:29Z

This patch makes KVM capable of using the XIVE interrupt controller to provide the standard PAPR "XICS" style hypercalls. It is necessary for proper operations when the host uses XIVE natively. This has been lightly tested on an actual system, including PCI pass-through with a TG3 device.
