When DLPAR adding a CPU we should verify that the CPU does not already
exist. Failure to do so can generate a kernel oops;
[ 9.465585] kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c:382!
[ 9.465796] Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
This oops can be generated by causing a probe to be performed on a cpu
by writing to the sysfs cpu probe file (/sys/devices/system/cpu/probe).
This patch adds a check for the existence of cpu prior to probing the cpu
so userspace doing the wrong thing won't trigger a BUG_ON().

dlpar_configure_connector() call in dlpar_cpu_probe(), but missed
to release the DRC if dlpar_configure_connector() failed.
During CPU hotplug, if configure-connector fails for any reason,
then this will result in subsequent CPU hotplug attempts to fail.
Release the acquired DRC if dlpar_configure_connector() call fails
so that the DRC is left in right isolation and allocation state
for the subsequent hotplug operation to succeed.

The incorrect ordering of operations during cpu dlpar add results in invalid
affinity for the cpu being added. The ibm,associativity property in the
device tree is populated with all zeroes for the added cpu which results in
invalid affinity mappings and all cpus appear to belong to node 0.
This occurs because rtas configure-connector is called prior to making the
rtas set-indicator calls. Phyp does not assign affinity information
for a cpu until the rtas set-indicator calls are made to set the isolation
and allocation state.
Correct the order of operations to make the rtas set-indicator
calls (done in dlpar_acquire_drc) before calling rtas configure-connector.

The current hotplug (or dlpar) of devices (the process is generally the
same for memory, cpu, and pci) on PowerVM systems is initiated
from the HMC, which communicates the request to the partitions through
the RSCT framework. The RSCT framework then invokes the drmgr command.
The drmgr command performs the hotplug operation by doing some pieces,
such as most of the rtas calls and device tree parsing, in userspace
and make requests to the kernel to online/offline the device, update the
device tree and add/remove the device.
For PowerKVM the approach for device hotplug is to follow what is currently
being done for pci hotplug. A hotplug request is initiated from the host.
QEMU then generates an EPOW interrupt to the guest which causes the guest
to make the rtas,check-exception call. In QEMU, the rtas,check-exception call
returns a rtas hotplug event to the guest.
Please note that the current pci hotplug path for PowerKVM involves the
kernel receiving the rtas hotplug event, passing it to rtas_errd in
userspace, and having rtas_errd invoke drmgr. The drmgr command then
handles the request as described above for PowerVM systems.
There is no need for this circuitous route, we should just handle the entire
hotplug of devices in the kernel. What I am planning is to enable this
by moving the code to handle hotplug from drmgr into the kernel to
provide a single path for handling device hotplug for both PowerVM and
PowerKVM systems. This patch provides the common iframework and entry point.
For PowerKVM a future update to the kernel rtas code will recognize rtas
hotplug events returned from rtas,check-exception calls and use the common
entry point to handle hotplug of the device.
For PowerVM systems, This patch creates /sys/kernel/dlpar that can be
used by the drmgr command to initiate hotplug requests. In order to do
this a string of the format "<resource> <action> <id_type> <id>" is
written to this file. The string consists of a resource (cpu, memory, pci,
phb), an action (add or remove), an id_type (count, drc index, drc name),
and the corresponding id. The kernel will parse the string and create a
rtas hotplug section that can be passed to the common entry point for
handling hotplug requests.
It should be noted that there is no chance of updating how we receive
hotplug (dlpar) requests from the HMC on PowerVM systems.

In powerpc pseries platform dlpar operations, use device_online() and
device_offline() instead of cpu_up() and cpu_down().
Calling cpu_up/down() directly does not update the cpu device offline
field, which is used to online/offline a cpu from sysfs. Calling
device_online/offline() instead keeps the sysfs cpu online value
correct. The hotplug lock, which is required to be held when calling
device_online/offline(), is already held when dlpar_online/offline_cpu()
are called, since they are called only from cpu_probe|release_store().
This patch fixes errors on phyp (PowerVM) systems that have cpu(s)
added/removed using dlpar operations; without this patch, the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online nodes do not correctly show the
online state of added/removed cpus.

in the pseries dlpar code with the assumption kobject initialization would
occur in of_node_add. The second commit had the side effect of triggering a

Device tree nodes are already treated as objects, and we already want to

Right now the kernel has to do a lot of work to keep the /proc view in
sync with the in-kernel representation. If device_nodes are switched to
be kobjects then the device tree code can be a whole lot simpler. It
also turns out that switching to using /sysfs from /proc results in
smaller code and data size, and the userspace ABI won't change if
/proc/device-tree symlinks to /sys/firmware/devicetree/base.

cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() serializes CPU online/offline operations
when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE is set. This lock interface is no longer
necessary with the following reason:
- lock_device_hotplug() now protects CPU online/offline operations,
including the probe & release interfaces enabled by
ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE. The use of cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is
redundant.
- cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is only valid when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Currently the cpu-allocation/deallocation process comprises of two steps:
- Set the indicators and to update the device tree with DLPAR node
information.
- Online/offline the allocated/deallocated CPU.
This is achieved by writing to the sysfs tunables "probe" during allocation
and "release" during deallocation.
At the sametime, the userspace can independently online/offline the CPUs of
the system using the sysfs tunable "online".
It is quite possible that when a userspace tool offlines a CPU
for the purpose of deallocation and is in the process of updating the device
tree, some other userspace tool could bring the CPU back online by writing to
the "online" sysfs tunable thereby causing the deallocate process to fail.
The solution to this is to serialize writes to the "probe/release" sysfs
tunable with the writes to the "online" sysfs tunable.
This patch employs a mutex to provide this serialization, which is a no-op on
all architectures except PPC_PSERIES

The Dynamic Logical Partitioning capabilities of the powerpc pseries platform
allows for the addition and removal of resources (i.e. CPU's, memory, and PCI
devices) from a partition. The removal of a resource involves
removing the resource's node from the device tree and then returning the
resource to firmware via the rtas set-indicator call. To add a resource, it
is first obtained from firmware via the rtas set-indicator call and then a
new device tree node is created using the ibm,configure-coinnector rtas call
and added to the device tree.
This patch provides the kernel DLPAR infrastructure in a new filed named
