Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt: "This is the powerpc new goodies for 3.17. The short story: The biggest bit is Michael removing all of pre-POWER4 processor support from the 64-bit kernel. POWER3 and rs64. This gets rid of a ton of old cruft that has been bitrotting in a long while. It was broken for quite a few versions already and nobody noticed. Nobody uses those machines anymore. While at it, he cleaned up a bunch of old dusty cabinets, getting rid of a skeletton or two. Then, we have some base VFIO support for KVM, which allows assigning of PCI devices to KVM guests, support for large 64-bit BARs on "powernv" platforms, support for HMI (Hardware Management Interrupts) on those same platforms, some sparse-vmemmap improvements (for memory hotplug), There is the usual batch of Freescale embedded updates (summary in the merge commit) and fixes here or there, I think that's it for the highlights" * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (102 commits) powerpc/eeh: Export eeh_iommu_group_to_pe() powerpc/eeh: Add missing #ifdef CONFIG_IOMMU_API powerpc: Reduce scariness of interrupt frames in stack traces powerpc: start loop at section start of start in vmemmap_populated() powerpc: implement vmemmap_free() powerpc: implement vmemmap_remove_mapping() for BOOK3S powerpc: implement vmemmap_list_free() powerpc: Fail remap_4k_pfn() if PFN doesn't fit inside PTE powerpc/book3s: Fix endianess issue for HMI handling on napping cpus. powerpc/book3s: handle HMIs for cpus in nap mode. powerpc/powernv: Invoke opal call to handle hmi. powerpc/book3s: Add basic infrastructure to handle HMI in Linux. powerpc/iommu: Fix comments with it_page_shift powerpc/powernv: Handle compound PE in config accessors powerpc/powernv: Handle compound PE for EEH powerpc/powernv: Handle compound PE powerpc/powernv: Split ioda_eeh_get_state() powerpc/powernv: Allow to freeze PE powerpc/powernv: Enable M64 aperatus for PHB3 powerpc/eeh: Aux PE data for error log ... |

Linux Kernel Selftests The kernel contains a set of "self tests" under the tools/testing/selftests/ directory. These are intended to be small unit tests to exercise individual code paths in the kernel. On some systems, hot-plug tests could hang forever waiting for cpu and memory to be ready to be offlined. A special hot-plug target is created to run full range of hot-plug tests. In default mode, hot-plug tests run in safe mode with a limited scope. In limited mode, cpu-hotplug test is run on a single cpu as opposed to all hotplug capable cpus, and memory hotplug test is run on 2% of hotplug capable memory instead of 10%. Running the selftests (hotplug tests are run in limited mode) ============================================================= To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_tests - note that some tests will require root privileges. To run only tests targeted for a single subsystem: (including hotplug targets in limited mode) $ make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=cpu-hotplug run_tests See the top-level tools/testing/selftests/Makefile for the list of all possible targets. Running the full range hotplug selftests ======================================== To build the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests hotplug To run the tests: $ make -C tools/testing/selftests run_hotplug - note that some tests will require root privileges. Contributing new tests ====================== In general, the rules for for selftests are * Do as much as you can if you're not root; * Don't take too long; * Don't break the build on any architecture, and * Don't cause the top-level "make run_tests" to fail if your feature is unconfigured.
