git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix: - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general. - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years. - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the workqueue code and other problems. - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the status of others. - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document. PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend (Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches" for this document: Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/5.Posting.rst Fixes: 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bffb91e4a63d41bf5fae1c23e1e8b3bba0b8806.1584716446.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2020-01-29powerpc: Provide initial documentation for PAPR hcallsVaibhav Jain
This doc patch provides an initial description of the hcall op-codes that are used by Linux kernel running as a guest (LPAR) on top of PowerVM or any other sPAPR compliant hyper-visor (e.g qemu). Apart from documenting the hcalls the doc-patch also provides a rudimentary overview of how hcall ABI, how they are issued with the Linux kernel and how information/control flows between the guest and hypervisor.

2020-01-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcallSukadev Bhattiprolu
Implement the H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcall which the Ultravisor can use to abort an SVM after it has issued the H_SVM_INIT_START and before the H_SVM_INIT_DONE hcalls. This hcall could be used when Ultravisor encounters security violations or other errors when starting an SVM. Note that this hcall is different from UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall which is used by HV to terminate/cleanup an VM that has becore secure. The H_SVM_INIT_ABORT basically undoes operations that were done since the H_SVM_INIT_START hcall - i.e page-out all the VM pages back to normal memory, and terminate the SVM. (If we do not bring the pages back to normal memory, the text/data of the VM would be stuck in secure memory and since the SVM did not go secure, its MSR_S bit will be clear and the VM wont be able to access its pages even to do a clean exit).

Protected Execution Facility (PEF) is an architectural change for POWER 9 that enables Secure Virtual Machines (SVMs). When enabled, PEF adds a new higher privileged mode, called Ultravisor mode, to POWER architecture. Along with the new mode there is new firmware called the Protected Execution Ultravisor (or Ultravisor for short). POWER 9 DD2.3 chips (PVR=0x004e1203) or greater will be PEF-capable. Attached documentation provides an overview of PEF and defines the API for various interfaces that must be implemented in the Ultravisor firmware as well as in the KVM Hypervisor.

Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific book. The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard. The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few missing section title identifiers. One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an even longer one.

2019-04-20powerpc: Add force enable of DAWR on P9 optionMichael Neuling
This adds a flag so that the DAWR can be enabled on P9 via: echo Y > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerous The DAWR was previously force disabled on POWER9 in: 9654153158 powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features Also see Documentation/powerpc/DAWR-POWER9.txt This is a dangerous setting, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Some users may not care about a bad user crashing their box (ie. single user/desktop systems) and really want the DAWR. This allows them to force enable DAWR. This flag can also be used to disable DAWR access. Once this is cleared, all DAWR access should be cleared immediately and your machine once again safe from crashing. Userspace may get confused by toggling this. If DAWR is force enabled/disabled between getting the number of breakpoints (via PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO) and setting the breakpoint, userspace will get an inconsistent view of what's available. Similarly for guests. For the DAWR to be enabled in a KVM guest, the DAWR needs to be force enabled in the host AND the guest. For this reason, this won't work on POWERVM as it doesn't allow the HCALL to work. Writes of 'Y' to the dawr_enable_dangerous file will fail if the hypervisor doesn't support writing the DAWR. To double check the DAWR is working, run this kernel selftest: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/ptrace/ptrace-hwbreak.c Any errors/failures/skips mean something is wrong.

2018-12-21powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware assisted dumpMahesh Salgaonkar
One of the primary issues with Firmware Assisted Dump (fadump) on Power is that it needs a large amount of memory to be reserved. On large systems with TeraBytes of memory, this reservation can be quite significant. In some cases, fadump fails if the memory reserved is insufficient, or if the reserved memory was DLPAR hot-removed. In the normal case, post reboot, the preserved memory is filtered to extract only relevant areas of interest using the makedumpfile tool. While the tool provides flexibility to determine what needs to be part of the dump and what memory to filter out, all supported distributions default this to "Capture only kernel data and nothing else". We take advantage of this default and the Linux kernel's Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) to fundamentally change the memory reservation model for fadump. Instead of setting aside a significant chunk of memory nobody can use, this patch uses CMA instead, to reserve a significant chunk of memory that the kernel is prevented from using (due to MIGRATE_CMA), but applications are free to use it. With this fadump will still be able to capture all of the kernel memory and most of the user space memory except the user pages that were present in CMA region. Essentially, on a P9 LPAR with 2 cores, 8GB RAM and current upstream: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7557 193 6822 12 541 6725 Swap: 4095 0 4095 With this patch: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 8133 194 7464 12 475 7338 Swap: 4095 0 4095 Changes made here are completely transparent to how fadump has traditionally worked. Thanks to Aneesh Kumar and Anshuman Khandual for helping us understand CMA and its usage. TODO: - Handle case where CMA reservation spans nodes.

2018-09-09Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

Examples include link reset events and LUN cleanup operations. On paths where there is a dependency, such as a LUN open, a sync failure should be acted upon.

2016-08-29powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal framesCyril Bur
Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the processor in suspended state. sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally.. >From the PowerPC ISA: TM Bad Thing Exception [Category: Transactional Memory] An attempt is made to execute a mtspr targeting a TM register in other than Non-transactional state.

2016-08-23scsi: cxlflash: Transition to application close modelMatthew R. Ochs
Caching the adapter file descriptor and performing a close on behalf of an application is a poor design. This is due to the fact that once a file descriptor in installed, it is free to be altered without the knowledge of the cxlflash driver. This can lead to inconsistencies between the application and kernel. Furthermore, the nature of the former design is more exploitable and thus should be abandoned. To support applications performing a close on the adapter file that is associated with a context, a new flag is introduced to the user API to indicate to applications that they are responsible for the close following the cleanup (detach) of a context. The documentation is also updated to reflect this change in behavior. Inspired-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matthew R. Ochs <mrochs@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Manoj N.

2016-04-11powerpc/eeh: rename EEH from "extended" to "enhanced" error handlingRussell Currey
IBM online documentation for EEH uses "extended error handling" and "enhanced error handling" to refer to the same thing, in different places. The only place mentioning it as "enhanced error handling" in the kernel is the MAINTAINERS file, and it's "extended" in some documentation. IBM originally defined EEH as "enhanced error handling", so standardise all mentions of EEH to use that term.

2016-03-09cxl: Support to flash a new image on the adapter from a guestChristophe Lombard
The new flash.c file contains the logic to flash a new image on the adapter, through a hcall. It is an iterative process, with chunks of data of 1M at a time. There are also 2 phases: write and verify. The flash operation itself is driven from a user-land tool. Once flashing is successful, an rtas call is made to update the device tree with the new properties values for the adapter and the AFU(s) Add a new char device for the adapter, so that the flash tool can access the card, even if there is no valid AFU on it.
