Protected Execution Facility (PEF) is an architectural change for
POWER 9 that enables Secure Virtual Machines (SVMs). When enabled,
PEF adds a new higher privileged mode, called Ultravisor mode, to POWER
architecture. Along with the new mode there is new firmware called the
Protected Execution Ultravisor (or Ultravisor for short).POWER 9 DD2.3 chips (PVR=0x004e1203) or greater will be PEF-capable.
Attached documentation provides an overview of PEF and defines the API
for various interfaces that must be implemented in the Ultravisor
firmware as well as in the KVM Hypervisor.Based on input from Mike Anderson, Thiago Bauermann, Claudio Carvalho,

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.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

"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.

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

This adds a flag so that the DAWR can be enabled on P9 via:
echo Y > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/dawr_enable_dangerousThe DAWR was previously force disabled on POWER9 in:
9654153158 powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features
Also see Documentation/powerpc/DAWR-POWER9.txtThis 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

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 4095With this patch:
[root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 8133 194 7464 12 475 7338
Swap: 4095 0 4095Changes 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:

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/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.Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad

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

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.Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin

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..

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.Inspired-by: Al Viro

IBM online documentation for EEH uses "extended error handling" and
"enhanced error handling" to refer to the same thing, in different
places. The only place mentioning it as "enhanced error handling" in the
kernel is the MAINTAINERS file, and it's "extended" in some documentation.IBM originally defined EEH as "enhanced error handling", so standardise
all mentions of EEH to use that term.Signed-off-by: Russell Currey

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.Co-authored-by: Frederic Barrat
