H A D | spapr.c | diff a3bf9fbdad600b1e4335dd90979f8d6072e4f602 Wed May 15 12:05:01 CEST 2019 Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org> powerpc/pseries: Fix xive=off command line
On POWER9, if the hypervisor supports XIVE exploitation mode, the guest OS will unconditionally requests for the XIVE interrupt mode even if XIVE was deactivated with the kernel command line xive=off. Later on, when the spapr XIVE init code handles xive=off, it disables XIVE and tries to fall back on the legacy mode XICS.
This discrepency causes a kernel panic because the hypervisor is configured to provide the XIVE interrupt mode to the guest :
kernel BUG at arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/xics-common.c:135! ... NIP xics_smp_probe+0x38/0x98 LR xics_smp_probe+0x2c/0x98 Call Trace: xics_smp_probe+0x2c/0x98 (unreliable) pSeries_smp_probe+0x40/0xa0 smp_prepare_cpus+0x62c/0x6ec kernel_init_freeable+0x148/0x448 kernel_init+0x2c/0x148 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x68
Look for xive=off during prom_init and don't ask for XIVE in this case. One exception though: if the host only supports XIVE, we still want to boot so we ignore xive=off.
Similarly, have the spapr XIVE init code to looking at the interrupt mode negotiated during CAS, and ignore xive=off if the hypervisor only supports XIVE.
