powerpc/pseries: Do not start secondaries in Open Firmware

2013-09-25T04:19:00Z

Starting secondary CPUs early on from Open Firmware and placing them in a holding spin loop slows down the boot process significantly under some hypervisors such as KVM. This is also unnecessary when RTAS supports querying the CPU state So let's not do it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Default arch idle could cede processor on pseries

2013-09-11T01:41:54Z

When adding cpuidle support to pSeries, we introduced two regressions: - The new cpuidle backend driver only works under hypervisors supporting the "SLPLAR" option, which isn't the case of the old POWER4 hypervisor and the HV "light" used on js2x blades - The cpuidle driver registers fairly late, meaning that for a significant portion of the boot process, we end up having all threads spinning. This slows down the boot process and increases the overall resource usage if the hypervisor has shared processors. This fixes both by implementing a "default" idle that will cede to the hypervisor when possible, in a very simple way without all the bells and whisles of cpuidle.

powerpc/powernv: Return secondary CPUs to firmware on kexec

2013-08-27T07:43:50Z

With OPAL v3 we can return secondary CPUs to firmware on kexec. This allows firmware to do various cleanups making things generally more reliable, and will enable the "new" kernel to call OPAL to perform some reconfiguration tasks early on that can only be done while all the CPUs are in firmware.
