PowerVM provides an isolated Platform Keystore(PKS) storage allocation
for each LPAR with individually managed access controls to store
sensitive information securely. It provides a new set of hypervisor
calls for Linux kernel to access PKS storage.

Define POWER LPAR Platform KeyStore(PLPKS) driver using H_CALL interface
to access PKS storage.

<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 kexec code paths involve code that necessarily run in real mode, as
CPUs are disabled and control is transferred to the new kernel. Disable
address sanitization for the kexec code and the functions called in real
mode on CPUs being disabled.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Interface to represent PAPR firmware attributes</title>
<updated>2022-03-07T13:05:00Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=3c14b73454cf9f6e2146443fdfbdfb912c0efed3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3c14b73454cf9f6e2146443fdfbdfb912c0efed3</id>
<content type='text'>
Adds a syscall interface to represent the energy and frequency related
PAPR attributes on the system using the new H_CALL
"H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO".

H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL was previously responsible for exporting this
information in the lparcfg, however the H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL
will be deprecated P10 onwards.

The H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO H_CALL is of the following call format:
hcall(
  uint64 H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO,  // Get energy scale info
  uint64 flags,           // Per the flag request
  uint64 firstAttributeId,// The attribute id
  uint64 bufferAddress,   // Guest physical address of the output buffer
  uint64 bufferSize       // The size in bytes of the output buffer
);
As specified in PAPR+ v2.11, section 14.14.3.

This H_CALL can query either all the attributes at once with
firstAttributeId = 0, flags = 0 as well as query only one attribute
at a time with firstAttributeId = id, flags = 1.

The output buffer consists of the following
1. number of attributes              - 8 bytes
2. array offset to the data location - 8 bytes
3. version info                      - 1 byte
4. A data array of size num attributes, which contains the following:
  a. attribute ID              - 8 bytes
  b. attribute value in number - 8 bytes
  c. attribute name in string  - 64 bytes
  d. attribute value in string - 64 bytes

The new H_CALL exports information in direct string value format, hence
a new interface has been introduced in
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info to export this information to
userspace so that the firmware can add new values without the need for
the kernel to be changed.

The H_CALL returns the name, numeric value and string value (if exists)

The format of exposing the sysfs information is as follows:
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info/
   |-- &lt;id&gt;/
     |-- desc
     |-- value
     |-- value_desc (if exists)
   |-- &lt;id&gt;/
     |-- desc
     |-- value
     |-- value_desc (if exists)
...

The energy information that is exported is useful for userspace tools
such as powerpc-utils. Currently these tools infer the
"power_mode_data" value in the lparcfg, which in turn is obtained from
the to be deprecated H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL.

On future platforms, such userspace utilities will have to look at the
data returned from the new H_CALL being populated in this new sysfs
interface and report this information directly without the need of
interpretation.

The hypervisor provides the available VAS GZIP capabilities such
as default or QoS window type and the target available credits in
each type. This patch creates sysfs entries and exports the target,
used and the available credits for each feature.

This interface can be used by the user space to determine the credits
usage or to set the target credits in the case of QoS type (for DLPAR).

/sys/devices/vas/vas0/gzip/default_capabilities (default GZIP capabilities)
	nr_total_credits /* Total credits available. Can be
			 /* changed with DLPAR operation */
	nr_used_credits  /* Used credits */

/sys/devices/vas/vas0/gzip/qos_capabilities (QoS GZIP capabilities)
	nr_total_credits
	nr_used_credits

<content type='text'>
Remove the pseries scanlog driver.

This code supports functions from Power4-era servers that are not present
on targets currently supported by arch/powerpc. System manuals from this
time have this description:

  Scan Dump data is a set of chip data that the service processor gathers
  after a system malfunction. It consists of chip scan rings, chip trace
  arrays, and Scan COM (SCOM) registers. This data is stored in the
  scan-log partition of the system’s Nonvolatile Random Access
  Memory (NVRAM).

PowerVM partition firmware development doesn't recognize the associated
function call or property, and they don't see any references to them in
their codebase. It seems to have been specific to non-virtualized pseries.

This patch adds VAS window allocatioa/close with the corresponding
hcalls. Also changes to integrate with the existing user space VAS
API and provide register/unregister functions to NX pseries driver.

The driver register function is used to create the user space
interface (/dev/crypto/nx-gzip) and unregister to remove this entry.

The user space process opens this device node and makes an ioctl
to allocate VAS window. The close interface is used to deallocate
window.

when CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES is selected, so checking for
CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES in the pseries Makefile is pointless.
