| 2017-10-21 | powerpc/powernv: Enable TM without suspend if possible | Michael Ellerman | |
| Some Power9 revisions can run in a mode where TM operates without suspended state. If we find ourself on a CPU that might be in this mode, we query OPAL to check, and if so we reenable TM in CPU features, and enable a new user feature to signal to userspace that we are in this mode. We do not enable the "normal" user feature, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM, but we do enable PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC because that indicates to userspace that the kernel will abort transactions on syscall entry, which is true regardless of the suspend mode.

| 2017-04-04 | powerpc/powernv: Introduce address translation services for Nvlink2 | Alistair Popple | |
| Nvlink2 supports address translation services (ATS) allowing devices to request address translations from an mmu known as the nest MMU which is setup to walk the CPU page tables. To access this functionality certain firmware calls are required to setup and manage hardware context tables in the nvlink processing unit (NPU). The NPU also manages forwarding of TLB invalidates (known as address translation shootdowns/ATSDs) to attached devices. This patch exports several methods to allow device drivers to register a process id (PASID/PID) in the hardware tables and to receive notification of when a device should stop issuing address translation requests (ATRs). It also adds a fault handler to allow device drivers to demand fault pages in.

| 2017-01-30 | powerpc/powernv: Initialise nest mmu | Alistair Popple | |
| POWER9 contains an off core mmu called the nest mmu (NMMU). This is used by other hardware units on the chip to translate virtual addresses into real addresses. The unit attempting an address translation provides the majority of the context required for the translation request except for the base address of the partition table (ie. the PTCR) which needs to be programmed into the NMMU. This patch adds a call to OPAL to set the PTCR for the nest mmu in opal_init(). Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <alistair@popple.id.au> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> | |||
