This patch extends pstore, a generic interface to platform dependent persistent storage, support for powernv platform to capture certain useful information, during dying moments. Such support is already in place for pseries platform. This patch re-uses most of that code. It is a common practice to compile kernels with both CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y and CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=y. The code in nvram_init_oops_partition() routine still works as intended, as the caller is platform specific code which passes the appropriate value for "rtas_partition_exists" parameter. In all other places, where CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES or CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV flag is used in this patchset, it is to reduce the kernel size in cases where this flag is not set and doesn't have any impact logic wise.

With minor checks, we can move most of the code for nvram under pseries to a common place to be re-used by other powerpc platforms like powernv. This patch moves such common code to arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c file.

Raghu noticed an issue with excessive memory allocation on power with a simple cgroup test, specifically, in mem_cgroup_css_alloc -> for_each_node -> alloc_mem_cgroup_per_zone_info(), which ends up blowing up the kmalloc-2048 slab (to the order of 200MB for 400 cgroup directories). The underlying issue is that NODES_SHIFT on power is 8 (256 NUMA nodes possible), which defines node_possible_map, which in turn defines the value of nr_node_ids in setup_nr_node_ids and the iteration of for_each_node. In practice, we never see a system with 256 NUMA nodes, and in fact, we do not support node hotplug on power in the first place, so the nodes that are online when we come up are the nodes that will be present for the lifetime of this kernel. So let's, at least, drop the NUMA possible map down to the online map at runtime. This is similar to what x86 does in its initialization routines. mem_cgroup_css_alloc should also be fixed to only iterate over memory-populated nodes and handle hotplug, but that is a separate change.

The goal is to verify vphn_unpack_associativity() parses VPHN numbers correctly. We feed it with a variety of input values and compare with expected results. PAPR+ does not say much about VPHN parsing: I came up with a list of tests that check many simple cases and some corner ones. I wouldn't dare to say the list is exhaustive though.

The current VPHN parsing logic has some flaws that this patch aims to fix: 1) when the value 0xffff is read, the value 0xffffffff gets added to the the output list and its element count isn't incremented. This is wrong. According to PAPR+ the domain identifiers are packed into a sequence terminated by the "reserved value of all ones". This means that 0xffff is a stream terminator. 2) the combination of byteswaps and casts make the code hardly readable. Let's parse the stream one 16-bit field at a time instead. 3) it is assumed that the hypercall returns 12 32-bit values packed into 6 64-bit registers. According to PAPR+, the domain identifiers may be streamed as 16-bit values. Let's increase the number of expected numbers to 24.

We have set CONFIG_PPC_OF to always 'y' in commit 0a498d96 ("powerpc: set CONFIG_PPC_OF=y always for ARCH=powerpc") nine years ago. And the arch/ppc also has gone away for many years. The OF functionality was also moved to a common place and be used by many archs. So it does make no sense to keep such a option in the current kernel. Just kill it.

The recent change to remove the vrX defines exposed the fact that we are building the copyloops tests without altivec enabled. It depends on the toolchain as to whether altivec is on by default or not, so it only breaks on some toolchains. But we should always enable it.

The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller has to pass non-generic argument. This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

We use r6 and r7 for epapr boot, but the current pre-C init will clobber both of these.

Currently, a 64-bit little-endian zImage.epapr won't boot in epapr mode, as we never return from platform_init. Before entering C, we initialise our stack by setting r1 16 bytes below the end of the _bss_stack: stwu r0,-16(r1) /* establish a stack frame */ However, the called function will save the caller's lr in the caller's frame's lr save area, at -16(r1) to -32(r1). This means that writes to the fdt variable will corrupt the saved link register: 0000000020c06018 l O .bss 0000000000001000 _bss_stack 0000000020c07018 l O .bss 0000000000000008 fdt We'll need at least 32 bytes in the initial stack frame, to handle the LR save area. We bump this to 112 bytes, as that'll be the max required by ABIv1. Thanks to Alistair Popple for debugging help.

We'll likely be entering the zImage.epapr as BE, so include the pseries implementation of _zimage_start, which adds the endian fixup magic. Although the endian fixup won't work on Book III-E machines starting LE, the current entry point doesn't support LE anyway, so we shouldn't be breaking anything.

Drop unused fsl_mpic_primary_get_version(), mpic_set_clk_ratio(), mpic_set_serial_int(). + fsl_mpic_primary_get_version() is just a safe wrapper around fsl_mpic_get_version() for SMP configurations. While the latter is called explicitly for handling PIC initialization and setting up error interrupt vector depending on PIC hardware version, the former isn't used for anything. + As for mpic_set_clk_ratio() and mpic_set_serial_int(), they both are almost nine years old[1] but still have no chance to be called even from out-of-tree modules because they both are __init and of course aren't exported.

This removes definitions in opal-api.h that are completely unused in Linux. For each of these I see three possibilities, 1) we *should* be using them in Linux and patches will arrive to do that, 2) they are not used but should stay in the header to document the API for some important reason, 3) they are not used and needn't be part of the API.

This commit gets opal-api.h to mostly match the version in Skiboot as of commit ea7d806ab0ba. The exceptions are things which are not (currently) used in Linux. Most of this is just whitespace and a few things moving around. I think the diff is readable. Also OpalMessageType became opal_msg_type, requiring a change in the Linux code. Finally Skiboot and Linux disagree on CAPI vs CXL, because CAPI means something else in Linux. To handle that we just point the Linux wrapper, which is named "cxl" to the OPAL token OPAL_PCI_SET_PHB_CAPI_MODE.
