Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
This includes:- kernel-doc markup fixes
- ReST fixes
- Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
that should be happening along the merge window.The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.
PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on

booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined
Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a
lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale.
The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the
evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst
contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the
ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification
are now.All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch
specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same
details documented.Cc: Frank Rowand

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks.
- Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on
Power9 or later.- Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be
unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way
to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking
userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice.- A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion
checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other
architectures.- Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update
code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised
systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems.- Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs.
- A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link
stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path.- Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as
usual.Thanks to: Abhishek Goel, Alastair D'Silva, Alexander A. Klimov, Alexey

The Ultravisor is expected to explicitly call H_SVM_PAGE_IN for all the
pages of the SVM before calling H_SVM_INIT_DONE. This causes a huge
delay in tranistioning the VM to SVM. The Ultravisor is only interested
in the pages that contain the kernel, initrd and other important data
structures. The rest contain throw-away content.However if not all pages are requested by the Ultravisor, the Hypervisor
continues to consider the GFNs corresponding to the non-requested pages
as normal GFNs. This can lead to data-corruption and undefined behavior.In H_SVM_INIT_DONE handler, move all the PFNs associated with the SVM's
GFNs to secure-PFNs. Skip the GFNs that are already Paged-in or Shared
or Paged-in followed by a Paged-out.Reviewed-by: Bharata B Rao

Page-merging of pages in memory-slots associated with a Secure VM
is disabled in H_SVM_PAGE_IN handler.This operation should have been done the much earlier; the moment the VM
is initiated for secure-transition. Delaying this operation increases
the probability for those pages to acquire new references, making it
impossible to migrate those pages in H_SVM_PAGE_IN handler.Disable page-migration in H_SVM_INIT_START handling.

From Nick's cover letter:
Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI
System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
information leaks).- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
closer to a function call.Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
the ABI.Previous discussions:

Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.
For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin

P9 DD2 NX workbook (Table 4-36) says DMA controller uses CC=5

OS to notify user space when NX encounters address translation

as NX does not get faults on kernel addresses.This patch defines CSB_CC_FAULT_ADDRESS(250) and updates CSB.CC with

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Support for userspace to send requests directly to the on-chip GZIP
accelerator on Power9.- Rework of our lockless page table walking (__find_linux_pte()) to
make it safe against parallel page table manipulations without
relying on an IPI for serialisation.- A series of fixes & enhancements to make our machine check handling
more robust.- Lots of plumbing to add support for "prefixed" (64-bit) instructions
on Power10.- Support for using huge pages for the linear mapping on 8xx (32-bit).
- Remove obsolete Xilinx PPC405/PPC440 support, and an associated sound
driver.- Removal of some obsolete 40x platforms and associated cruft.
- Initial support for booting on Power10.
- Lots of other small features, cleanups & fixes.

These platforms are no longer supported and tested.PowerPC 405/440 port is orphan from 2013 by
commit cdeb89943bfc ("MAINTAINERS: Fix incorrect status tag") and

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix:- A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception
vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and
interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code
that is also faster in general.- Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had
become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years.- Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should
hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings
from the workqueue code and other problems.- MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and
update the status of others.- Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")
enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each
document title, plus to each chapter inside it.There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections
with the same name anymore.A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to
avoid most creating references for every single section title,
but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside
a document.There are a few places where there are two chapters with the
same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to
avoid symbol conflict within the same document.PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend
(Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches"
for this document:Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/5.Posting.rst

"A pretty small batch for us, and apologies for it being a bit late, I
wanted to sneak Christophe's user_access_begin() series in.Summary:
- Implement user_access_begin() and friends for our platforms that
support controlling kernel access to userspace.- Enable CONFIG_VMAP_STACK on 32-bit Book3S and 8xx.
- Some tweaks to our pseries IOMMU code to allow SVMs ("secure"
virtual machines) to use the IOMMU.- Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE to the 32-bit
VDSO, and some other improvements.- A series to use the PCI hotplug framework to control opencapi
card's so that they can be reset and re-read after flashing a new
FPGA image.As well as other minor fixes and improvements as usual.

This doc patch provides an initial description of the hcall op-codes
that are used by Linux kernel running as a guest (LPAR) on top of
PowerVM or any other sPAPR compliant hyper-visor (e.g qemu).Apart from documenting the hcalls the doc-patch also provides a
rudimentary overview of how hcall ABI, how they are issued with the
Linux kernel and how information/control flows between the guest and
hypervisor.Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Jain

Implement the H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcall which the Ultravisor can use to
abort an SVM after it has issued the H_SVM_INIT_START and before the
H_SVM_INIT_DONE hcalls. This hcall could be used when Ultravisor
encounters security violations or other errors when starting an SVM.Note that this hcall is different from UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall which
is used by HV to terminate/cleanup an VM that has becore secure.The H_SVM_INIT_ABORT basically undoes operations that were done
since the H_SVM_INIT_START hcall - i.e page-out all the VM pages back
to normal memory, and terminate the SVM.(If we do not bring the pages back to normal memory, the text/data
of the VM would be stuck in secure memory and since the SVM did not
go secure, its MSR_S bit will be clear and the VM wont be able to
access its pages even to do a clean exit).Based on patches and discussion with Paul Mackerras, Ram Pai and
Bharata Rao.Signed-off-by: Ram Pai
