[PATCH 00/14] powerpc: Add support for POWER8 relocation on exceptions

[Michael Neuling]

This set of patches adds support for taking exceptions with the MMU on which is
supported by POWER8.

A new set of exception vectors is added at 0xc000_0000_0000_4xxx.  When the HW
takes us here, MSR IR/DR will be set already and we no longer need a costly
RFID to turn the MMU back on again.

The original 0x0 based exception vectors remain for when the HW can't leave the
MMU on.  Examples of this are when we can't trust the current the MMU mappings,
like when we are changing from guest to hypervisor (HV 0 -> 1) or when the MMU
was off already.  In these cases the HW will take us to the original 0x0 based
exception vectors with the MMU off as before.

The core of these patches were originally written by Matt Evans.  

Ian Munsie (5):
  powerpc: Add set_mode hcall
  powerpc: Add wrappers to enable/disable relocation on exceptions
  powerpc: Move get_longbusy_msecs into hvcall.h and remove duplicate
    function
  powerpc: Enable relocation on during exceptions at boot
  powerpc: Disable relocation on exceptions when kexecing

Michael Neuling (9):
  powerpc: Add POWER8 architected mode to cputable
  powerpc: Whitespace changes in exception64s.S
  powerpc: Remove unessessary 0x3000 location enforcement
  powerpc: Make load_hander handle upto 64k offset
  powerpc: Turn syscall handler into macros
  powerpc: Add new macros needed for relocation on exceptions
  powerpc: Add relocation on exception vector handlers
  powerpc: Move initial mfspr LPCR out of __init_LPCR
  powerpc: Setup relocation on exceptions for bare metal systems

[PATCH 06/14] powerpc: Add new macros needed for relocation on exceptions

[Michael Neuling]

POWER8/v2.07 allows exceptions to be taken with the MMU still on.

A new set of exception vectors is added at 0xc000_0000_0000_4xxx.  When the HW
takes us here, MSR IR/DR will be set already and we no longer need a costly
RFID to turn the MMU back on again.

The original 0x0 based exception vectors remain for when the HW can't leave the
MMU on.  Examples of this are when we can't trust the current the MMU mappings,
like when we are changing from guest to hypervisor (HV 0 -> 1) or when the MMU
was off already.  In these cases the HW will take us to the original 0x0 based
exception vectors with the MMU off as before.

The below macros are copies of the macros used at the 0x0 offset but modified
to handle the MMU being on.  In these macros we use the link register to jump
to the secondary handlers rather than using RFID (RFID was also use to turn on
the MMU).

[PATCH 07/14] powerpc: Add relocation on exception vector handlers

[Michael Neuling]

POWER8/v2.07 allows exceptions to be taken with the MMU still on.

A new set of exception vectors is added at 0xc000_0000_0000_4xxx.  When the HW
takes us here, MSR IR/DR will be set already and we no longer need a costly
RFID to turn the MMU back on again.

The original 0x0 based exception vectors remain for when the HW can't leave the
MMU on.  Examples of this are when we can't trust the current the MMU mappings,
like when we are changing from guest to hypervisor (HV 0 -> 1) or when the MMU
was off already.  In these cases the HW will take us to the original 0x0 based
exception vectors with the MMU off as before.

This uses the new macros added previously too implement these new execption
vectors at 0xc000_0000_0000_4xxx.  We exit these exception vectors using
mflr/blr (rather than mtspr SSR0/RFID), since we don't need the costly MMU
switch anymore.

This moves the __end_interrupts marker down past these new 0x4000 vectors since
they will need to be copied down to 0x0 when the kernel is not at 0x0.

Is the AIL field only two bits?  If not, you probably want to clear
the other bits.

[PATCH 11/14] powerpc: Add wrappers to enable/disable relocation on exceptions

[Michael Neuling]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

These wrappers hide the parameters that have to be passed to H_SET_MODE
to enable/disable relocation on during exceptions.

As noted in the comments, since these have partition wide scope, they
may take some time to complete and must be periodically retried until
H_SUCCESS is returned.

Actually, it's the same as 10/12.  Looks like i didn't clear out my send

10/14 is correct.

[PATCH 13/14] powerpc: Enable relocation on during exceptions at boot

[Michael Neuling]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

We currently do this synchronously at boot from setup_arch. On a large
system this could hypothetically take a little while to complete, so
currently we will give up if we are asked to wait for more than a second
in total.

If we actually start hitting that timeout in practice we can always move
this code into a kernel thread to take care of it in the background.

[PATCH 14/14] powerpc: Disable relocation on exceptions when kexecing

[Michael Neuling]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

Since we don't know if they new kernel we are kexecing into has been
built to support relocation on exceptions, we disable them before we
kexec.

We do NOT disable them if we are execing a kdump kernel, because we
want to change as little state as possible and it is likely that we are
execing ourselves and will be able to handle them anyway.

Extra "the" (here and in a couple of patches). 

Can't do much more since I don't have any hardware past G5, but the series
looks nice and avoiding transient excursions to real mode is a good thing.

Thanks.
