ppc patch queue 2019-12-17 This is the first pull request for the qemu-5.0 branch. It has a lot of accumulated changes, including: * SLOF update to support boot using the IOMMU (will become necessary for secure guests) * Clean ups to pnv handling of chip models * A number of extensions to the powernv machine model * TCG extensions to allow powernv emulated systems to run KVM guests * Outline support for POWER10 chips in powernv * Cleanups to the ibm,client-architecture-support feature negotiation path * XIVE reworks to better handle the powernv machine * Improvements to not waste interrupt queues and other semi-scarce resources when using XIVE under KVM -

ppc patch queue 2019-12-09 This is a last minute pull request for ppc-for-4.2. I know it's very late in freeze, but this does fix a regression: a bad interaction between the new qemu and SLOF device tree construction code means that SLOF will crash if PCI to PCI bridges are included in the system. This PR supersedes ppc-for-4.2-20191206. This one has only a more minimal change to the firmware addressed only at fixing this bug and not incorporating some other unrelated changes that happened in the meantime.

ppc patch queue for 2019-11-26 Here's the first 4.2 hard freeze pull request from me. This has: * A fix for some testcases that cause errors on older host kernels (e.g. RHEL7), with our new default configuration of VSMT mode * Changes to make VFIO devices interact properly with change of irq chip caused by PAPR feature negotiation. This is more involved than I would like, but it's a problem in real use cases and I can't see an easier way to handle it. * Fix an error with ms6522 counters for the g3beige machine * Fix a coverity warning -

ppc patch queue 2019-10-24 Last pull request before soft freeze. * Lots of fixes and cleanups for spapr interrupt controllers * More SLOF updates to fix problems with full FDT rendering at CAS time (alas, more yet are to come) * A few other assorted changes This isn't quite as well tested as I usually try to do before a pull request. But I've been sick and running into some other difficulties, and wanted to get this sent out before heading towards KVM forum. -

ppc patch queue 2019-10-04 Here's the next batch of ppc and spapr patches. Includes: * Fist part of a large cleanup to irq infrastructure * Recreate the full FDT at CAS time, instead of making a difficult to follow set of updates. This will help us move towards eliminating CAS reboots altogether * No longer provide RTAS blob to SLOF - SLOF can include it just as well itself, since guests will generally need to relocate it with a call to instantiate-rtas * A number of DFP fixes and cleanups from Mark Cave-Ayland * Assorted bugfixes * Several new small devices for powernv -

ppc patch queue 2018-08-29 Another pull request for ppc-for-4.2. Includes * Several powernv patches which were pulled last minute from the last PULL, now that some problems with them have been sorted out * A fix for -no-reboot which has been broken since the pseries-rhel4.1.0 machine type * Add some host threads information which AIX guests will need to properly scale the PURR and SPURR * Change behaviour to match x86 when unplugging function 0 of a multifunction PCI device * A number of TCG fixes in FPU emulation And a handful of other assorted fixes and cleanups. -
