The skiboot firmware has a hot reset handler which fences the NVIDIA V100
GPU RAM on Witherspoons and makes accesses no-op instead of throwing HMIs:
https://github.com/open-power/skiboot/commit/fca2b2b839a67
Now we are going to pass V100 via VFIO which most certainly involves
KVM guests which are often terminated without getting a chance to offline
GPU RAM so we end up with a running machine with misconfigured memory.
Accessing this memory produces hardware management interrupts (HMI)
which bring the host down.
To suppress HMIs, this wires up this hot reset hook to vfio_pci_disable()
via pci_disable_device() which switches NPU2 to a safe mode and prevents
HMIs.

The system call tables are in different format in all
architecture and it will be difficult to manually add or
modify the system calls in the respective files. To make
it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the
uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also
help to unify the implementation across all architectures.
The system call table generation script is added in
syscalls directory which contain the script to generate
both uapi header file and system call table files.
The syscall.tbl file will be the input for the scripts.
syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls
along with system call number and corresponding entry point.
Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible
by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file.
Adding a new table entry consisting of:
- System call number.
- ABI.
- System call name.
- Entry point name.
- Compat entry name, if required.
syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header-
unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table_32/64/c32/spu.h files
respectively. File syscall_table_32/64/c32/spu.h is incl-
uded by syscall.S - the real system call table. Both *.sh
files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the
header and table files.

PowerPC uses a syscall table with native and compat calls
interleaved, which is a slightly simpler way to define two
matching tables.
As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage
is no longer important, but the interleaved table gets in
the way of using the same scripts as on the other archit-
ectures.
Split out a new compat_sys_call_table symbol that contains
all the compat calls, and leave the main table for the nat-
ive calls, to more closely match the method we use every-
where else.

NR_syscalls macro holds the number of system call exist
in powerpc architecture. We have to change the value of
NR_syscalls, if we add or delete a system call.
One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
The syscall.tbl file contains the number of system call
information. So we have two option to update NR_syscalls
value.
1. Update NR_syscalls in asm/unistd.h manually by count-
ing the no.of system calls. No need to update NR_sys-
calls until we either add a new system call or delete
existing system call.
2. We can keep this feature in above mentioned script,
that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
citly update NR_syscalls in asm/unistd.h file.
The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along
with NR_syscalls asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_syscalls
also added for making the name convention same across all
architecture. While __NR_syscalls isn't strictly part of
the uapi, having it as part of the generated header to
simplifies the implementation. We also need to enclose
this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid side effects.

The AFU Descriptor Template in the PCI config space has a Name Space
field which is a 24 Byte ASCII character string of descriptive name
space for the AFU. The OCXL driver read the string four characters at
a time with pci_read_config_dword().
This optimization is valid on a little-endian system since this is PCI,
but a big-endian system ends up with each subset of four characters in
reverse order.
This could be fixed by switching to read characters one by one. Another
option is to swap the bytes if we're big-endian.
Go for the latter with le32_to_cpu().

There is a TM Bad Thing bug that can be caused when you return from a
signal context in a suspended transaction but with ucontext MSR[TS] unset.
This forces regs->msr[TS] to be set at syscall entrance (since the CPU
state is transactional). It also calls treclaim() to flush the transaction
state, which is done based on the live (mfmsr) MSR state.
Since user context MSR[TS] is not set, then restore_tm_sigcontexts() is not
called, thus, not executing recheckpoint, keeping the CPU state as not
transactional. When calling rfid, SRR1 will have MSR[TS] set, but the CPU
state is non transactional, causing the TM Bad Thing with the following

Usually a TM Bad Thing exception is raised due to three different problems.
a) touching SPRs in an active transaction; b) using TM instruction with the
facility disabled and c) setting a wrong MSR/SRR1 at RFID.
The two initial cases are easy to identify by looking at the instructions.
The latter case is harder, because the MSR is masked after RFID, so, it is
very useful to look at the previous MSR (SRR1) before RFID as also the
current and masked MSR.
Since MSR is saved at paca just before RFID, this patch prints it if a TM

On a signal handler return, the user could set a context with MSR[TS] bits
set, and these bits would be copied to task regs->msr.
At restore_tm_sigcontexts(), after current task regs->msr[TS] bits are set,
several __get_user() are called and then a recheckpoint is executed.
This is a problem since a page fault (in kernel space) could happen when
calling __get_user(). If it happens, the process MSR[TS] bits were
already set, but recheckpoint was not executed, and SPRs are still invalid.
The page fault can cause the current process to be de-scheduled, with
MSR[TS] active and without tm_recheckpoint() being called. More
importantly, without TEXASR[FS] bit set also.
Since TEXASR might not have the FS bit set, and when the process is
scheduled back, it will try to reclaim, which will be aborted because of
the CPU is not in the suspended state, and, then, recheckpoint. This
recheckpoint will restore thread->texasr into TEXASR SPR, which might be
zero, hitting a BUG_ON().

This patch simply delays the MSR[TS] set, so, if there is any page fault in
the __get_user() section, it does not have regs->msr[TS] set, since the TM
structures are still invalid, thus avoiding doing TM operations for
in-kernel exceptions and possible process reschedule.
With this patch, the MSR[TS] will only be set just before recheckpointing
and setting TEXASR[FS] = 1, thus avoiding an interrupt with TM registers in
invalid state.
Other than that, if CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, there might be a preemption just
after setting MSR[TS] and before tm_recheckpoint(), thus, this block must
be atomic from a preemption perspective, thus, calling
preempt_disable/enable() on this code.
It is not possible to move tm_recheckpoint to happen earlier, because it is
required to get the checkpointed registers from userspace, with
__get_user(), thus, the only way to avoid this undesired behavior is
delaying the MSR[TS] set.
The 32-bits signal handler seems to be safe this current issue, but, it
might be exposed to the preemption issue, thus, disabling preemption in
this chunk of code.
Changes from v2:
* Run the critical section with preempt_disable.

For fadump to work successfully there should not be any holes in reserved
memory ranges where kernel has asked firmware to move the content of old
kernel memory in event of crash. Now that fadump uses CMA for reserved
area, this memory area is now not protected from hot-remove operations
unless it is cma allocated. Hence, fadump service can fail to re-register
after the hot-remove operation, if hot-removed memory belongs to fadump
reserved region. To avoid this make sure that memory from fadump reserved
area is not hot-removable if fadump is registered.
However, if user still wants to remove that memory, he can do so by

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

With this patch:

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.

writes to the BUCSR register which is hypervisor privilleged. However,
the branch predictor is flushed at each KVM entry, so the branch
predictor has been already flushed, so just return as soon as possible
to guest.

Currently for CONFIG_PPC_FSL_BOOK3E the spectre_v2 file is incorrect:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2
"Mitigation: Software count cache flush"
Which is wrong. Fix it to report vulnerable for now.

The BUCSR register can be used to invalidate the entries in the

In order to protect against speculation attacks (Spectre
variant 2) on NXP PowerPC platforms, the branch predictor
should be flushed when the privillege level is changed.
This patch is adding the infrastructure to fixup at runtime
the code sections that are performing the branch predictor flush
depending on a boot arg parameter which is added later in a
separate patch.

If the device tree doesn't reside in the memory which is declared
inside it, it has to be moved as well as this memory will not be
mapped by the kernel.

Add some documentation on which CPU versions map to which ISA
versions. This is all publicly available information, some of it
already in the kernel source, but it's much nicer to have it all in
one place.

This reverts the remains of commit b9ef7d6b11 ("powerpc: Update
default configurations").
That commit was proceeded by a commit which added a config option to
control use of BOOTX for early debug, ie. PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX, and
then the update of the defconfigs was intended to not change behaviour
by then enabling the new config option.
However enabling PPC_EARLY_DEBUG had other consequences, notably
causing us to register the udbg console at the end of udbg_early_init().
This means on a system which doesn't have anything that BOOTX can
use (most systems), we register the udbg console very early but the
bootx code just throws everything away, meaning early boot messages
are never printed to the console.
What we want to happen is for the udbg console to only be registered
later (from setup_arch()) once we've setup udbg_putc, and then all
early boot messages will be replayed.

For this use case, completions and semaphores are equivalent,
but semaphores are an awkward interface that should generally
be avoided, so use the completion instead.

Implementing rollback with goto and labels is a common practice that
leads to prettier and more maintainable code. FWIW, this design pattern
is already being used in alloc_link() a few lines below in this file.
Do the same in setup_xsl_irq().
