2013-05-10powerpc/powernv: Improve kexec reliabilityBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We add a machine_shutdown hook that frees the OPAL interrupts (so they get masked at the source and don't fire while kexec'ing) and which triggers an IODA reset on all the PCIe host bridges which will have the effect of blocking all DMAs and subsequent PCIs interrupts.

2013-05-08powerpc/powernv: Properly drop characters if console is closedBenjamin Herrenschmidt
If the firmware returns an error such as "closed" (or hardware error), we should drop characters. Currently we only do that when a firmware compatible with OPAL v2 APIs is detected, in the code that calls opal_console_write_buffer_space(), which didn't exist with OPAL v1 (or didn't work). However, when enabling early debug consoles, the flag indicating that v2 is supported isn't set yet, causing us, in case of errors or closed console, to spin forever.

2013-05-06powerpc/powernv: Defer OPAL exception handler registrationJeremy Kerr
Currently, the OPAL exception vectors are registered before the feature fixups are processed. This means that the now-firmware-owned vectors will likely be overwritten by the kernel. This change moves the exception registration code to an early initcall, rather than at machine_init time.

2011-09-20powerpc/powernv: Machine check and other system interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
OPAL can handle various interrupt for us such as Machine Checks (it performs all sorts of recovery tasks and passes back control to us with informations about the error), Hardware Management Interrupts and Softpatch interrupts. This wires up the mechanisms and prints out specific informations returned by HAL when a machine check occurs. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-09-20powerpc/powernv: Register and handle OPAL interruptsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We do the minimum which is to "pass" interrupts to HAL, which makes the console smoother and will allow us to implement interrupt based completion and console. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-09-20powerpc/powernv: Support for OPAL consoleBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This adds a udbg and an hvc console backend for supporting a console using the OPAL console interfaces. On OPAL v1 we have hvc0 mapped to whatever console the system was configured for (network or hvsi serial port) via the service processor. On OPAL v2 we have hvcN mapped to the Nth console provided by OPAL which generally corresponds to: hvc0 : network console (raw protocol) hvc1 : serial port S1 (hvsi) hvc2 : serial port S2 (hvsi) Note: At this point, early debug console only works with OPAL v1 and shouldn't be enabled in a normal kernel.

2011-09-20powerpc/powernv: Basic support for OPALBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Add definition of OPAL interfaces along with the wrappers to call into OPAL runtime and the early device-tree parsing hook to locate the OPAL runtime firmware. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
