2019-03-28xive: Add calls to save/restore the queues and VPs HW stateCédric Le Goater1-0/+51
To be able to support migration of guests using the XIVE native exploitation mode, (where the queue is effectively owned by the guest), KVM needs to be able to save and restore the HW-modified fields of the queue, such as the current queue producer pointer and generation bit, and to retrieve the modified thread context registers of the VP from the NVT structure : the VP interrupt pending bits. However, there is no need to set back the NVT structure on P9. P10 should be the same. Based on previous work from BenH.

We have new mailing list (skiboot-stable@lists.ozlabs.org) for handling stable trees! Now onwards to submit patches to stable tree, one should send patches to skiboot-stable@lists.ozlabs.org mailing list with subject prefix [PATH <stable-version>] -OR- CC skiboot-stable@lists.ozlabs.org mailing list while sending patches to upstream mailing list (skiboot@lists.ozlabs.org). This will remove the requirement to do the --suppress-cc OR other related --no-cc-* options from git-send-email to remove "CC" list.

2019-02-25power-mgmt : occ : Add 'freq-domain-mask' DT propertyAbhishek Goel1-0/+37
Add a new device-tree property freq-domain-indicator to define group of CPUs which would share same frequency. This property has been added under power-mgmt node. It is a bitmask. Bitwise AND is taken between this bitmask value and PIR of cpu. All the CPUs lying in the same frequency domain will have same result for AND. For example, For POWER9, 0xFFF0 indicates quad wide frequency domain. Taking AND with the PIR of CPUs will yield us frequency domain which is quad wise distribution as last 4 bits have been masked which represent the cores. Similarly, 0xFFF8 will represent core wide frequency domain for P8. Also, Add a new device-tree property domain-runs-at which will denote the strategy OCC is using to change the frequency of a frequency-domain. There can be two strategy - FREQ_MOST_RECENTLY_SET and FREQ_MAX_IN_DOMAIN. FREQ_MOST_RECENTLY_SET : the OCC sets the frequency of the quad to the most recent frequency value requested by the CPUs in the quad. FREQ_MAX_IN_DOMAIN : the OCC sets the frequency of the CPUs in the Quad to the maximum of the latest frequency requested by each of the component cores.

2019-02-25powercap: occ: Fix the powercapping range allowed for userShilpasri G Bhat1-1/+8
OCC provides two limits for minimum powercap. One being hard powercap minimum which is guaranteed by OCC and the other one is a soft powercap minimum which is lesser than hard-min and may or may not be asserted due to various power-thermal reasons. So to allow the users to access the entire powercap range, this patch exports soft powercap minimum as the "powercap-min" DT property. And it also adds a new DT property called "powercap-hard-min" to export the hard-min powercap limit.

2018-07-03npu2: Use same compatible string for NVLink and OpenCAPI link nodes in ↵Andrew Donnellan1-4/+6
device tree Currently, we distinguish between NPU links for NVLink devices and OpenCAPI devices through the use of two different compatible strings - ibm,npu-link and ibm,npu-link-opencapi. As we move towards supporting configurations with both NVLink and OpenCAPI devices behind a single NPU, we need to detect the device type as part of presence detection, which can't happen until well after the point where the HDAT or platform code has created the NPU device tree nodes. Changing a node's compatible string after it's been created is a bit ugly, so instead we should move the device type to a new property which we can add to the node later on. Get rid of the ibm,npu-link-opencapi compatible string, add a new ibm,npu-link-type property, and a helper function to check the link type. Add an "unknown" device type in preparation for later patches to detect device type dynamically. These device tree bindings are entirely internal to skiboot and are not consumed directly by Linux, so this shouldn't break anything (other than internal BML lab environments).

2018-06-18NX: Add NX coprocessor init opal callHaren Myneni1-0/+36
The read offset (4:11) in Receive FIFO control register is incremented by FIFO size whenever CRB read by NX. But the index in RxFIFO has to match with the corresponding entry in FIFO maintained by VAS in kernel. VAS entry is reset to 0 when opening the receive window during driver initialization. So when NX842 is reloaded or in kexec boot, possibility of mismatch between RxFIFO control register and VAS entries in kernel. It could cause CRB failure / timeout from NX. This patch adds nx_coproc_init opal call for kernel to initialize readOffset (4:11) and Queued (15:23) in RxFIFO control register.
