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.

On PowerNV platform, the OPAL interrupts are exported by firmware through device-node property (/ibm,opal::opal-interrupts). Under some extreme circumstances (e.g. simulator), we don't have this property found from the device tree. For that case, we shouldn't allocate the interrupt map.

The patch implements the OPAL rtc driver that binds with the rtc driver subsystem. The driver uses the platform device infrastructure to probe the rtc device and register it to rtc class framework. The 'wakeup' is supported depending upon the property 'has-tpo' present in the OF node. It provides a way to load the generic rtc driver in in the absence of an OPAL driver. The patch also moves the existing OPAL rtc get/set time interfaces to the new driver and exposes the necessary OPAL calls using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Recently we moved HMI handling into Linux kernel instead of taking HMI directly in OPAL. This new change is dependent on new OPAL call for HMI recovery which was introduced in newer firmware. While this new change works fine with latest OPAL firmware, we broke the HMI handling if we run newer kernel on old OPAL firmware that results in system hang. This patch fixes this issue by falling back to old HMI behavior on older OPAL firmware. This patch introduces a check for opal token OPAL_HANDLE_HMI to see if we are running on newer firmware or old firmware. On newer firmware this check would return OPAL_TOKEN_PRESENT, otherwise we are running on old firmware and fallback to old HMI behavior. Old firmware: POWER8 System Firmware Release as of today <= SV810_087 Action: Let OPAL handle HMIs Newer firmware: in development/yet to be released. Action: Let Linux host handle HMIs.

A lot of the code in platforms/powernv is using non-machine initcalls. That means if a kernel built with powernv support runs on another platform, for example pseries, the initcalls will still run. That is usually OK, because the initcalls will check for something in the device tree or elsewhere before doing anything, so on other platforms they will usually just return. But it's fishy for powernv code to be running on other platforms, so switch them all to be machine initcalls. If we want any of them to run on other platforms in future they should move to sysdev.

This enables support for userspace to fetch and initiate FSP and Platform dumps from the service processor (via firmware) through sysfs. Based on original patch from Vasant Hegde <hegdevasant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Flow: - We register for OPAL notification events. - OPAL sends new dump available notification. - We make information on dump available via sysfs - Userspace requests dump contents - We retrieve the dump via OPAL interface - User copies the dump data - userspace sends ack for dump - We send ACK to OPAL. sysfs files: - We add the /sys/firmware/opal/dump directory - echoing 1 (well, anything, but in future we may support different dump types) to /sys/firmware/opal/dump/initiate_dump will initiate a dump. - Each dump that we've been notified of gets a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/dump/ with a name of the dump type and ID (in hex, as this is what's used elsewhere to identify the dump). - Each dump has files: id, type, dump and acknowledge dump is binary and is the dump itself. echoing 'ack' to acknowledge (currently any string will do) will acknowledge the dump and it will soon after disappear from sysfs. OPAL APIs: - opal_dump_init() - opal_dump_info() - opal_dump_read() - opal_dump_ack() - opal_dump_resend_notification() Currently we are only ever notified for one dump at a time (until the user explicitly acks the current dump, then we get a notification of the next dump), but this kernel code should "just work" when OPAL starts notifying us of all the dumps present.

Based on a patch by: Mahesh Salgaonkar <mahesh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This patch adds support to read error logs from OPAL and export them to userspace through a sysfs interface. We export each log entry as a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog/ Currently, OPAL will buffer up to 128 error log records, we don't need to have any knowledge of this limit on the Linux side as that is actually largely transparent to us. Each error log entry has the following files: id, type, acknowledge, raw. Currently we just export the raw binary error log in the 'raw' attribute. In a future patch, we may parse more of the error log to make it a bit easier for userspace (e.g. to be able to display a brief summary in petitboot without having to have a full parser). If we have >128 logs from OPAL, we'll only be notified of 128 until userspace starts acknowledging them. This limitation may be lifted in the future and with this patch, that should "just work" from the linux side. A userspace daemon should: - wait for error log entries using normal mechanisms (we announce creation) - read error log entry - save error log entry safely to disk - acknowledge the error log entry - rinse, repeat. On the Linux side, we read the error log when we're notified of it. This possibly isn't ideal as it would be better to only read them on-demand. However, this doesn't really work with current OPAL interface, so we read the error log immediately when notified at the moment. I've tested this pretty extensively and am rather confident that the linux side of things works rather well. There is currently an issue with the service processor side of things for >128 error logs though.

Opal now has a new messaging infrastructure to push the messages to linux in a generic format for different type of messages using only one event bit. The format of the opal message is as below: struct opal_msg { uint32_t msg_type; uint32_t reserved; uint64_t params[8]; }; This patch allows clients to subscribe for notification for specific message type. It is upto the subscriber to decipher the messages who showed interested in receiving specific message type. The interface to subscribe for notification is: int opal_message_notifier_register(enum OpalMessageType msg_type, struct notifier_block *nb) The notifier will fetch the opal message when available and notify the subscriber with message type and the opal message. It is subscribers responsibility to copy the message data before returning from notifier callback.

Now that we handle machine check in linux, the MCE decoding should also take place in linux host. This info is crucial to log before we go down in case we can not handle the machine check errors. This patch decodes and populates a machine check event which contain high level meaning full MCE information. We do this in real mode C code with ME bit on. The MCE information is still available on emergency stack (in pt_regs structure format). Even if we take another exception at this point the MCE early handler will allocate a new stack frame on top of current one. So when we return back here we still have our MCE information safe on current stack. We use per cpu buffer to save high level MCE information. Each per cpu buffer is an array of machine check event structure indexed by per cpu counter mce_nest_count. The mce_nest_count is incremented every time we enter machine check early handler in real mode to get the current free slot (index = mce_nest_count - 1). The mce_nest_count is decremented once the MCE info is consumed by virtual mode machine exception handler. This patch provides save_mce_event(), get_mce_event() and release_mce_event() generic routines that can be used by machine check handlers to populate and retrieve the event. The routine release_mce_event() will free the event slot so that it can be reused. Caller can invoke get_mce_event() with a release flag either to release the event slot immediately OR keep it so that it can be fetched again. The event slot can be also released anytime by invoking release_mce_event(). This patch also updates kvm code to invoke get_mce_event to retrieve generic mce event rather than paca->opal_mce_evt. The KVM code always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false so that event is available for linus host machine If machine check occurs while we are in guest, KVM tries to handle the error. If KVM is able to handle MC error successfully, it enters the guest and delivers the machine check to guest. If KVM is not able to handle MC error, it exists the guest and passes the control to linux host machine check handler which then logs MC event and decides how to handle it in linux host. In failure case, KVM needs to make sure that the MC event is available for linux host to consume. Hence KVM always calls get_mce_event() with release flags set to false and later it invokes release_mce_event() only if it succeeds to handle error.
