Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4d2e26a38f docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
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.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Linus Torvalds 192f0f8e9d powerpc updates for 5.3
Notable changes:
 
  - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver, as well
    as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't (yet?) made it
    upstream.
 
  - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf record -e
    mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and kernel crashes.
 
  - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for vmalloc
    when using the Radix MMU.
 
  - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to use gas
    macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.
 
 And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab d67297ad34 docs: kdump: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert kdump documentation to ReST and add it to the
user faced manual, as the documents are mainly focused on
sysadmins that would be enabling kdump.

Note: the vmcoreinfo.rst has one very long title on one of its
sub-sections:

	PG_lru|PG_private|PG_swapcache|PG_swapbacked|PG_slab|PG_hwpoision|PG_head_mask|PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_buddy)|PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_offline)

I opted to break this one, into two entries with the same content,
in order to make it easier to display after being parsed in html and PDF.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Michael Neuling c1fe190c06 powerpc: Add force enable of DAWR on P9 option
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.

Mahesh Salgaonkar a4e92ce8e4 powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware assisted dump
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.

Henrik Austad a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
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.

Matthew R. Ochs 9cf43a3604 scsi: cxlflash: Support LUN provisioning
Adopt the SISLite AFU LUN provisioning capability to allow future CXL
Flash adapters the ability to better manage storage. Update the SISLite
header with the changes necessary to support LUN provision operations
and create a host ioctl interface for user LUN management software. Also
update the cxlflash documentation to describe this new host ioctl.

Uma Krishnan c2c292f450 scsi: cxlflash: Handle AFU sync failures
AFU sync operations are not currently evaluated for failure. This is
acceptable for paths where there is not a dependency on the AFU being
consistent with the host. 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.

In the event of AFU sync failures, either log or cleanup as appropriate for
operations that are dependent on a successful sync completion.

Update documentation to reflect behavior in the event of an AFU sync
failure.

With commit f6e6bedb77 ("powerpc/fadump: Reserve memory at an offset
closer to bottom of RAM"), memory for fadump is no longer reserved at
the top of RAM. But there are still a few places which say so. Change
them appropriately.

Linus Torvalds 7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
    virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
    passing a hint to mmap().
 
  - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
 
  - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
 
  - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
    Architecture 2.0".
 
  - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
 
  - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
 
  - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
    them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
    to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
 
 Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

Matthew R. Ochs 8fa4f1770d scsi: cxlflash: Remove port configuration assumptions
At present, the cxlflash driver only supports hardware with two FC ports. The
code was initially designed with this assumption and is dependent on having
two FC ports - adding more ports will break logic within the driver.

To mitigate this issue, remove the existing port assumptions and transition
the code to support more than two ports. As a side effect, clarify the
interpretation of the DK_CXLFLASH_ALL_PORTS_ACTIVE flag.

- Registers
- Radix mode
- Process element entry
- Dedicated-Shared Process Programming Model
- Translation Fault Handling
- CAPP
- Memory Context ID
    If a valid mm_struct is found the memory context id is used for each
    transaction associated with the process handle. The PSL uses the
    context ID to find the corresponding process element.

Nicholas Piggin 7b8845a2a2 powerpc/64: Document the syscall ABI
Add some documentation for the 64-bit syscall ABI, which doesn't seem
to be documented elsewhere.

This attempts to document existing practice. The only small discrepancy
is glibc clobbers not quite matching the kernel (e.g., xer, some
vsyscalls trash cr1 whereas glibc only clobbers cr0). These will be
resolved after this document is merged.

Cyril Bur 78a3e8889b powerpc: signals: Discard transaction state from signal frames
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..

It isn't clear exactly if there is really a use case for userspace
returning with a suspended transaction, however, doing so doesn't (on
its own) constitute a bad frame. As such, this patch simply discards
the transactional state of the context calling the sigreturn and
continues.

Matthew R. Ochs cd34af40a0 scsi: cxlflash: Transition to application close model
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.

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.

Sam bobroff b4b56f9eca powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions
This patch changes the syscall handler to doom (tabort) active
transactions when a syscall is made and return very early without
performing the syscall and keeping side effects to a minimum (no CPU
accounting or system call tracing is performed). Also included is a
new HWCAP2 bit, PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC, to indicate this
behaviour to userspace.

Currently, the system call instruction automatically suspends an
active transaction which causes side effects to persist when an active
transaction fails.

This does change the kernel's behaviour, but in a way that was
documented as unsupported.  It doesn't reduce functionality as
syscalls will still be performed after tsuspend; it just requires that
the transaction be explicitly suspended.  It also provides a
consistent interface and makes the behaviour of user code
substantially the same across powerpc and platforms that do not
support suspended transactions (e.g. x86 and s390).

Performance measurements using
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/null_syscall.c indicate the cost of
a normal (non-aborted) system call increases by about 0.25%.

Michael Ellerman 68fc378ce3 Revert "powerpc/tm: Abort syscalls in active transactions"
This reverts commit feba40362b.

Although the principle of this change is good, the implementation has a
few issues.

Firstly we can sometimes fail to abort a syscall because r12 may have
been clobbered by C code if we went down the virtual CPU accounting
path, or if syscall tracing was enabled.

Secondly we have decided that it is safer to abort the syscall even
earlier in the syscall entry path, so that we avoid the syscall tracing
path when we are transactional.

So that we have time to thoroughly test those changes we have decided to
revert this for this merge window and will merge the fixed version in
the next window.

NB. Rather than reverting the selftest we just drop tm-syscall from
TEST_PROGS so that it's not run by default.

Linus Torvalds c5aec4c76a Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc
Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here is the bulk of the powerpc changes for this merge window.  It got
  a bit delayed in part because I wasn't paying attention, and in part
  because I discovered I had a core PCI change without a PCI maintainer
  ack in it.  Bjorn eventually agreed it was ok to merge it though we'll
  probably improve it later and I didn't want to rebase to add his ack.

  There is going to be a bit more next week, essentially fixes that I
  still want to sort through and test.

  The biggest item this time is the support to build the ppc64 LE kernel
  with our new v2 ABI.  We previously supported v2 userspace but the
  kernel itself was a tougher nut to crack.  This is now sorted mostly
  thanks to Anton and Rusty.

  We also have a fairly big series from Cedric that add support for
  64-bit LE zImage boot wrapper.  This was made harder by the fact that
  traditionally our zImage wrapper was always 32-bit, but our new LE
  toolchains don't really support 32-bit anymore (it's somewhat there
  but not really "supported") so we didn't want to rely on it.  This
  meant more churn that just endian fixes.

  This brings some more LE bits as well, such as the ability to run in
  LE mode without a hypervisor (ie. under OPAL firmware) by doing the
  right OPAL call to reinitialize the CPU to take HV interrupts in the
  right mode and the usual pile of endian fixes.

  There's another series from Gavin adding EEH improvements (one day we
  *will* have a release with less than 20 EEH patches, I promise!).

  Another highlight is the support for the "Split core" functionality on
  P8 by Michael.  This allows a P8 core to be split into "sub cores" of
  4 threads which allows the subcores to run different guests under KVM
  (the HW still doesn't support a partition per thread).

  And then the usual misc bits and fixes ..."
