Currently during idle-init on power9, if we don't find suitable stop
states in the device tree that can be used as the
default_stop/deepest_stop, we set stop0 (ESL=1,EC=1) as the default
stop state psscr to be used by power9_idle and deepest stop state
which is used by CPU-Hotplug.
However, if the platform firmware has not configured or enabled a stop
state, the kernel should not make any assumptions and fallback to a
default choice.
If the kernel uses a stop state that is not configured by the platform
firmware, it may lead to further failures which should be avoided.
In this patch, we modify the init code to ensure that the kernel uses
only the stop states exposed by the firmware through the device
tree. When a suitable default stop state isn't found, we disable
ppc_md.power_save for power9. Similarly, when a suitable
deepest_stop_state is not found in the device tree exported by the
firmware, fall back to the default busy-wait loop in the CPU-Hotplug
code.

Currently, the powernv cpu-offline function assumes that platform idle
states such as stop on POWER9, winkle/sleep/nap on POWER8 are always
available. On POWER8, it picks nap as the default state if other deep
idle states like sleep/winkle are not available and enabled in the
platform.
On POWER9, nap is not available and all idle states are managed by
STOP instruction. The parameters to the idle state are passed through
processor stop status control register (PSSCR). Hence as such
executing STOP would take parameters from current PSSCR. We do not
want to make any assumptions in kernel on what STOP states and PSSCR
features are configured by the platform.
Ideally platform will configure a good set of stop states that can be
used in the kernel. We would like to start with a clean slate, if the
platform choose to not configure any state or there is an error in
platform firmware that lead to no stop states being configured or
allowed to be requested.
This patch adds a fallback method for CPU-Hotplug that is similar to
snooze loop at idle where the threads are left to spin at low priority
and hence reduce the cycles consumed.
This is a safe fallback mechanism in the case when no stop state would
be requested if the platform firmware did not configure them most
likely due to an error condition.
Requesting a stop state when the platform has not configured them or
enabled them would lead to further error conditions which could be
difficult to debug.

transitions the CPU to the deepest available platform idle state to a

The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.
Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.
This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.
This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.
A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).

Some powerpc platforms use this to move IRQs away from a CPU being

There's a new generic function doing exactly the same thing without all
the bugs, so let's use it instead.
mpe: The obvious place for the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION is on
HOTPLUG_CPU, but that doesn't work. On some configs PM_SLEEP_SMP will
select HOTPLUG_CPU even though its dependencies are not met, which means
the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION doesn't happen. That leads to the
build breaking. Fix it by moving the select of GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION to

Commit 4c6d9acce1 ("powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl") converted local
TLB invalidates to global if the cxl driver is active. This is necessary
because the CAPP snoops invalidations to forward them to the PSL on the

still does local TLB invalidates, as found out the hard way recently.
This patch fixes it by following the same logic as previously: if the
cxl driver is active, the local TLB invalidates are 'upgraded' to
global.

When the kernel is compiled to use 64bit ABIv2 the _GLOBAL() macro does
not include a global entry point. A function's global entry point is
used when the function is called from a different TOC context and in the
kernel this typically means a call from a module into the vmlinux (or
vice-versa).
There are a few exported asm functions declared with _GLOBAL() and
calling them from a module will likely crash the kernel since any TOC
relative load will yield garbage.
flush_icache_range() and flush_dcache_range() are both exported to
modules, and use the TOC, so must use _GLOBAL_TOC().

In the past, there was only one load-with-reservation instruction,
lwarx, and if a program attempted a lwarx on a misaligned address, it
would take an alignment interrupt and the kernel handler would emulate
it as though it was lwzx, which was not really correct, but benign since
it is loading the right amount of data, and the lwarx should be paired
with a stwcx. to the same address, which would also cause an alignment
interrupt which would result in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.
We now have 5 different sizes of load-with-reservation instruction. Of
those, lharx and ldarx cause an immediate SIGBUS by luck since their
entries in aligninfo[] overlap instructions which were not fixed up, but
lqarx overlaps with lhz and will be emulated as such. lbarx can never
generate an alignment interrupt since it only operates on 1 byte.
To straighten this out and fix the lqarx case, this adds code to detect
the l[hwdq]arx instructions and return without fixing them up, resulting
in a SIGBUS being delivered to the process.

Nvlink2 supports address translation services (ATS) allowing devices
to request address translations from an mmu known as the nest MMU
which is setup to walk the CPU page tables.
To access this functionality certain firmware calls are required to
setup and manage hardware context tables in the nvlink processing unit
(NPU). The NPU also manages forwarding of TLB invalidates (known as
address translation shootdowns/ATSDs) to attached devices.
This patch exports several methods to allow device drivers to register

notification of when a device should stop issuing address translation
requests (ATRs). It also adds a fault handler to allow device drivers

Not all user space application is ready to handle wide addresses. It's
known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers to
encode their information. It collides with valid pointers with 512TB
addresses and leads to crashes.
To mitigate this, we are not going to allocate virtual address space
above 128TB by default.
But userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by
specifying hint address (with or without MAP_FIXED) above 128TB.
If hint address set above 128TB, but MAP_FIXED is not specified, we try
to look for unmapped area by specified address. If it's already
occupied, we look for unmapped area in *full* address space, rather than
from 128TB window.
This approach helps to easily make application's memory allocator aware
about large address space without manually tracking allocated virtual
address space.
This is going to be a per mmap decision. ie, we can have some mmaps with
larger addresses and other that do not.
A sample memory layout looks like:
10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB
10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fc:00 9057045 /home/max_addr_512TB
