This marks more files and functions that can possibly be called in
real mode as not to be instrumented by KASAN.  Most were found by
inspection, except for get_pseries_errorlog() which was reported as
causing a crash in testing.

<title>powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41b7a347bf1491e7300563bb224432608b41f62a</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a limited form of KASAN for Book3S 64-bit machines running under
the Radix MMU, supporting only outline mode.

 - Enable the compiler instrumentation to check addresses and maintain the
   shadow region. (This is the guts of KASAN which we can easily reuse.)

 - Require kasan-vmalloc support to handle modules and anything else in
   vmalloc space.

 - KASAN needs to be able to validate all pointer accesses, but we can't
   instrument all kernel addresses - only linear map and vmalloc. On boot,
   set up a single page of read-only shadow that marks all iomap and
   vmemmap accesses as valid.

 - Document KASAN in powerpc docs.

Background
----------

KASAN support on Book3S is a bit tricky to get right:

 - It would be good to support inline instrumentation so as to be able to
   catch stack issues that cannot be caught with outline mode.

 - Inline instrumentation requires a fixed offset.

 - Book3S runs code with translations off ("real mode") during boot,
   including a lot of generic device-tree parsing code which is used to
   determine MMU features.

    [ppc64 mm note: The kernel installs a linear mapping at effective
    address c000...-c008.... This is a one-to-one mapping with physical
    memory from 0000... onward. Because of how memory accesses work on
    powerpc 64-bit Book3S, a kernel pointer in the linear map accesses the
    same memory both with translations on (accessing as an 'effective
    address'), and with translations off (accessing as a 'real
    address'). This works in both guests and the hypervisor. For more
    details, see s5.7 of Book III of version 3 of the ISA, in particular
    the Storage Control Overview, s5.7.3, and s5.7.5 - noting that this
    KASAN implementation currently only supports Radix.]

 - Some code - most notably a lot of KVM code - also runs with translations
   off after boot.

 - Therefore any offset has to point to memory that is valid with
   translations on or off.

One approach is just to give up on inline instrumentation. This way
boot-time checks can be delayed until after the MMU is set is up, and we
can just not instrument any code that runs with translations off after
booting. Take this approach for now and require outline instrumentation.

Previous attempts allowed inline instrumentation. However, they came with
some unfortunate restrictions: only physically contiguous memory could be
used and it had to be specified at compile time. Maybe we can do better in
the future.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - Rebased onto 5.17.  Note that a kernel with
 CONFIG_KASAN=y will crash during boot on a machine using HPT
 translation because not all the entry points to the generic
 KASAN code are protected with a call to kasan_arch_is_ready().]

The pseries platform will share vas and nx code and interfaces
with the PowerNV platform, so create the
arch/powerpc/platforms/book3s/ directory and move VAS API code
there. Functionality is not changed.

pci-ioda.c is getting a bit unwieldly due to the amount of stuff jammed in
there. The SR-IOV support can be extracted easily enough and is mostly
standalone, so move it into a separate file.

This patch also moves the PowerNV SR-IOV specific fields from pci_dn and
moves them into a platform specific structure. I'm not sure how they ended
up in there in the first place, but leaking platform specifics into common
code has proven to be a terrible idea so far so lets stop doing that.

On power9, userspace can send GZIP compression requests directly to NX
once kernel establishes NX channel / window with VAS. This patch provides
user space API which allows user space to establish channel using open
VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl, mmap and close operations.

Each window corresponds to file descriptor and application can open
multiple windows. After the window is opened, VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN icoctl to
open a window on specific VAS instance, mmap() system call to map
the hardware address of engine's request queue into the application's
virtual address space.

Then the application can then submit one or more requests to the the
engine by using the copy/paste instructions and pasting the CRBs to
the virtual address (aka paste_address) returned by mmap().

Only NX GZIP coprocessor type is supported right now and allow GZIP
engine access via /dev/crypto/nx-gzip device node.

Thanks to Michael Ellerman for his changes and suggestions to make the
ioctl generic to support any coprocessor type.

Setup fault window for each VAS instance. When NX gets a fault on
request buffer, pastes fault CRB in the corresponding fault FIFO and
then raises an interrupt to the OS. The kernel handles this fault
and process faults CRB from this FIFO.

The X.509 certificates trusted by the platform and required to secure
boot the OS kernel are wrapped in secure variables, which are
controlled by OPAL.

This patch adds firmware/kernel interface to read and write OPAL
secure variables based on the unique key.

This support can be enabled using CONFIG_OPAL_SECVAR.

Export /sys/firmware/opal/core file to analyze opal crashes. Since OPAL
core can be generated independent of CONFIG_FA_DUMP support in kernel,
add this support under a new kernel config option CONFIG_OPAL_CORE.
Also, avoid code duplication by moving common code used while exporting
/proc/vmcore and/or /sys/firmware/opal/core file(s).

<id>urn:sha1:bec53196adf4791d466adf0e339b61186c7b5283</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new kernel config option, CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP that ensures
that crash data, from previously crash'ed kernel, is preserved. This
helps in cases where FADump is not enabled but the subsequent memory
preserving kernel boot is likely to process this crash data. One
typical usecase for this config option is petitboot kernel.

As OPAL allows registering address with it in the first kernel and
retrieving it after MPIPL, use it to store the top of boot memory.
A kernel that intends to preserve crash data retrieves it and avoids
using memory beyond this address.

Move arch_reserved_kernel_pages() function as it is needed for both
FA_DUMP and PRESERVE_FA_DUMP configurations.
