2018-03-01phb4: set PBCQ Tunnel BAR for tunneled operationsPhilippe Bergheaud1-0/+76
P9 supports PCI tunneled operations (atomics and as_notify) that are initiated by devices. A subset of the tunneled operations require a response, that must be sent back from the host to the device. For example, an atomic compare and swap will return the compare status, as swap will only performed in case of success. Similarly, as_notify reports if the target thread has been woken up or not, because the operation may fail. To enable tunneled operations, a device driver must tell the host where it expects tunneled operation responses, by setting the PBCQ Tunnel BAR Response register with a specific value within the range of its BARs. This register is currently initialized by enable_capi_mode(). But, as tunneled operations may also operate in PCI mode, a new API is required to set the PBCQ Tunnel BAR Response register, without switching to CAPI mode. This patch provides two new OPAL calls to get/set the PBCQ Tunnel BAR Response register. Note: as there is only one PBCQ Tunnel BAR register, shared between all the devices connected to the same PHB, only one of these devices will be able to use tunneled operations, at any time.

2018-03-01npu2-opencapi: Add OpenCAPI OPAL API callsFrederic Barrat1-0/+126
Add three OPAL API calls that are required by the ocxl driver. - OPAL_NPU_SPA_SETUP The Shared Process Area (SPA) is a table containing one entry (a "Process Element") per memory context which can be accessed by the OpenCAPI device. - OPAL_NPU_SPA_CLEAR_CACHE The NPU keeps a cache of recently accessed memory contexts. When a Process Element is removed from the SPA, the cache for the link must be cleared. - OPAL_NPU_TL_SET The Transaction Layer specification defines several templates for messages to be exchanged on the link. During link setup, the host and device must negotiate what templates are supported on both sides and at what rates those messages can be sent.

2017-12-03core: Add support for quiescing OPALNicholas Piggin2-0/+66
Quiescing is ensuring all host controlled CPUs (except the current one) are out of OPAL and prevented from entering. This can be use in debug and shutdown paths, particularly with system reset sequences. This patch adds per-CPU entry and exit tracking for OPAL calls, and adds logic to "hold" or "reject" at entry time, if OPAL is quiesced. An OPAL call is added, to expose the functionality to Linux, where it can be used for shutdown, kexec, and before generating sreset IPIs for debugging (so the debug code does not recurse into OPAL).

2017-11-28xive: Implement "single escalation" featureBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-8/+21
This adds a new VP flag to control the new DD2.0 "single escalation" feature. This feature allows us to have a single escalation interrupt per VP instead of one per queue. It works by hijacking queue 7 (which is this no longer usable when that is enabled) and exploiting two new hardware bits that will: - Make the normal queues (0..6) escalate unconditionally thus ignoring the ESe bits. - Route the above escalations to queue 7 - Have queue 7 silently escalate without notification Thus the escalation of queue 7 becomes the one escalation interrupt for all the other queues.
