When compiling for pseries or powernv defconfig with "make C=1",
these warning were reported bu sparse tool in powerpc/kernel/kvm.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/kvm.c:635:9: warning: switch with no cases
arch/powerpc/kernel/kvm.c:646:9: warning: switch with no cases
Currently #ifdef were added after the switch case which are specific
for BOOKE and PPC_BOOK3S_32. These are not enabled in pseries/powernv
defconfig. Fix it by moving the #ifdef before switch(){}

The extra-y syntax is planned for deprecation because it is similar
to always-y.
When building the boot wrapper, always-y and extra-y are equivalent.
Use always-y instead.
In arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile, I added ifdef KBUILD_BUILTIN to
keep the current behavior: prom_init_check is skipped when building
only modular objects.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

The existing PowerNV hotplug code did not handle surprise plug events
correctly, leading to a complete failure of the hotplug system after device
removal and a required reboot to detect new devices.
This comes down to two issues:
1) When a device is surprise removed, often the bridge upstream
port will cause a PE freeze on the PHB. If this freeze is not
cleared, the MSI interrupts from the bridge hotplug notification
logic will not be received by the kernel, stalling all plug events
on all slots associated with the PE.
2) When a device is removed from a slot, regardless of surprise or
programmatic removal, the associated PHB/PE ls left frozen.
If this freeze is not cleared via a fundamental reset, skiboot
is unable to clear the freeze and cannot retrain / rescan the
slot. This also requires a reboot to clear the freeze and redetect
the device in the slot.
Issue the appropriate unfreeze and rescan commands on hotplug events,
and don't oops on hotplug if pci_bus_to_OF_node() returns NULL.

In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.
Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.
This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.
Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.
By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.
There are five patches in this series:
The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.
The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.
The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.
The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.
The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
PT_LOAD ranges.
Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.
With this series applied, specifying
crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.
An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.
The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.
This patch (of 5):
Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.
Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.
This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.
This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

VFIO EEH recovery for PCI passthrough devices fails on PowerNV and pseries
platforms due to missing host-side PE bridge reconfiguration. In the
current implementation, eeh_pe_configure() only performs RTAS or OPAL-based
bridge reconfiguration for native host devices, but skips it entirely for
PEs managed through VFIO in guest passthrough scenarios.
This leads to incomplete EEH recovery when a PCI error affects a
passthrough device assigned to a QEMU/KVM guest. Although VFIO triggers the
EEH recovery flow through VFIO_EEH_PE_ENABLE ioctl, the platform-specific
bridge reconfiguration step is silently bypassed. As a result, the PE's
config space is not fully restored, causing subsequent config space access
failures or EEH freeze-on-access errors inside the guest.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring that eeh_pe_configure() always
invokes the platform's configure_bridge() callback (e.g.,
pseries_eeh_phb_configure_bridge) even for VFIO-managed PEs. This ensures
that RTAS or OPAL calls to reconfigure the PE bridge are correctly issued
on the host side, restoring the PE's configuration space after an EEH
event.
This fix is essential for reliable EEH recovery in QEMU/KVM guests using
VFIO PCI passthrough on PowerNV and pseries systems.
Tested with:
- QEMU/KVM guest using VFIO passthrough (IBM Power9,(lpar)Power11 host)
- Injected EEH errors with pseries EEH errinjct tool on host, recovery
verified on qemu guest.
- Verified successful config space access and CAP_EXP DevCtl restoration
after recovery

Recent patch fixed an old commit
'fc2a5a6161a2 ("powerpc/64s: ppc_save_regs is now needed for all 64s builds")'
which is to include building of ppc_save_reg.c only when XMON
and KEXEC_CORE and PPC_BOOK3S are enabled. This was valid, since
ppc_save_regs was called only in replay_system_reset() of old
irq.c which was under BOOK3S.
But there has been multiple refactoring of irq.c and have
added call to ppc_save_regs() from __replay_soft_interrupts
-> replay_soft_interrupts which is part of irq_64.c included
under CONFIG_PPC64. And since ppc_save_regs is called in
CRASH_DUMP path as part of crash_setup_regs in kexec.h,
CONFIG_PPC32 also needs it.
So with this recent patch which enabled the building of
ppc_save_regs.c caused a build break when none of these
(XMON, KEXEC_CORE, BOOK3S) where enabled as part of config.
Patch to enable building of ppc_save_regs.c by defaults.

The Fixes commit below tried to add CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S to one of the
conditions to enable the build of ppc_save_regs.o. But it failed to do
so, in fact. The commit omitted to add a dollar sign.
Therefore, ppc_save_regs.o is built always these days (as
"(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S)" is never an empty string).
Fix this by adding the missing dollar sign.

buffer will be returned in the same work area.
The current implementation of this RTAS function is in the user
space but allocation of the work area is restricted with the system
lockdown. So this patch implements this RTAS function in the kernel
and expose to the user space with open/ioctl/read interfaces.
PAPR (2.13+ 21.3 ibm,physical-attestation) defines RTAS function:
- Pass the command struct to obtain the response buffer for the
specific command.
- This RTAS function is sequence RTAS call and has to issue RTAS
call multiple times to get the complete response buffer (max 64K).
The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and
the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the
previous calls.
Expose these interfaces to user space with a
/dev/papr-physical-attestation character device using the following
programming model:
int devfd = open("/dev/papr-physical-attestation");
int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_PHY_ATTEST_IOC_HANDLE,
struct papr_phy_attest_io_block);
- The user space defines the command struct and requests the
response for any command.
- Obtain the complete response buffer and returned the buffer as
blob to the command specific FD.
size = read(fd, buf, len);
- Can retrieve the response buffer once or multiple times until the
end of BLOB buffer.
Implemented this new kernel ABI support in librtas library for
system lockdown

The RTAS call ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state is used to get the
sensor state identified by the location code and the sensor
token. The librtas library provides an API
rtas_get_dynamic_sensor() which uses /dev/mem access for work
area allocation but is restricted under system lockdown.
This patch provides an interface with new ioctl
PAPR_DYNAMIC_SENSOR_IOC_GET to the papr-indices character
driver which executes this HCALL and copies the sensor state
in the user specified ioctl buffer.
Refer PAPR 7.3.19 ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state for more
information on this RTAS call.
- User input parameters to the RTAS call: location code string
and the sensor token
Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-indices
character device using the following programming model:
int fd = open("/dev/papr-indices", O_RDWR);
int ret = ioctl(fd, PAPR_DYNAMIC_SENSOR_IOC_GET,
struct papr_indices_io_block)
- The user space specifies input parameters in
papr_indices_io_block struct
- Returned state for the specified sensor is copied to
papr_indices_io_block.dynamic_param.state

The RTAS call ibm,set-dynamic-indicator is used to set the new
indicator state identified by a location code. The current
implementation uses rtas_set_dynamic_indicator() API provided by
librtas library which allocates RMO buffer and issue this RTAS
call in the user space. But /dev/mem access by the user space
is prohibited under system lockdown.
This patch provides an interface with new ioctl
PAPR_DYNAMIC_INDICATOR_IOC_SET to the papr-indices character
driver and expose this interface to the user space that is
compatible with lockdown.
Refer PAPR 7.3.18 ibm,set-dynamic-indicator for more

The RTAS call ibm,get-indices is used to obtain indices and
location codes for a specified indicator or sensor token. The
current implementation uses rtas_get_indices() API provided by
librtas library which allocates RMO buffer and issue this RTAS
call in the user space. But writable mapping /dev/mem access by
the user space is prohibited under system lockdown.
To overcome the restricted access in the user space, the kernel
provide interfaces to collect indices data from the hypervisor.
This patch adds papr-indices character driver and expose standard
interfaces such as open / ioctl/ read to user space in ways that
are compatible with lockdown.
PAPR (2.13 7.3.17 ibm,get-indices RTAS Call) describes the
following steps to retrieve all indices data:
- User input parameters to the RTAS call: sensor or indicator,
and indice type
- ibm,get-indices is sequence RTAS call which means has to issue
multiple times to get the entire list of indicators or sensors
of a particular type. The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call
with the sequence 1 and the subsequent calls with the sequence
number returned from the previous calls.
- The OS may not interleave calls to ibm,get-indices for different
indicator or sensor types. Means other RTAS calls with different
type should not be issued while the previous type sequence is in
progress. So collect the entire list of indices and copied to
buffer BLOB during ioctl() and expose this buffer to the user
space with the file descriptor.
- The hypervisor fills the work area with a specific format but
does not return the number of bytes written to the buffer.
Instead of parsing the data for each call to determine the data
length, copy the work area size (RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE) to
the buffer. Return work-area size of data to the user space for
each read() call.
Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-indices
character device using the following programming model:
int devfd = open("/dev/papr-indices", O_RDONLY);
int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_INDICES_IOC_GET,
struct papr_indices_io_block)
- Collect all indices data for the specified token to the buffer
char *buf = malloc(RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE);
length = read(fd, buf, RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE)
- RTAS_GET_INDICES_BUF_SIZE of data is returned to the user
space.
- The user space retrieves the indices and their location codes
from the buffer
- Should issue multiple read() calls until reaches the end of
BLOB buffer.
The read() should use the file descriptor obtained from ioctl to
get the data that is exposed to file descriptor. Implemented
support in librtas (rtas_get_indices()) for this new ABI for
system lockdown.

Once the lazy preemption is supported, it would be desirable to change
the preemption models at runtime. So add support for dynamic preemption
using DYNAMIC_KEY.

Performance numbers indicate that, preempt=none(no dynamic) and
preempt=none(dynamic) are close.

get_stubs_size assumes that there must always be at least one patchable
function entry, which is not always the case (modules that export data
but no code), otherwise it returns -ENOEXEC and thus the section header
sh_size is set to that value. During module_memory_alloc() the size is
passed to execmem_alloc() after being page-aligned and thus set to zero
which will cause it to fail the allocation (and thus module loading) as
__vmalloc_node_range() checks for zero-sized allocs and returns null:
[ 115.466896] module_64: cast_common: doesn't contain __patchable_function_entries.
