powerpc/vas: Export HVWC to debugfs

Export the VAS Window context information to debugfs.

We need to hold a mutex when closing the window to prevent a race
with the debugfs read(). Rather than introduce a per-instance mutex,
we use the global vas_mutex for now, since it is not heavily contended.

The window->cop field is only relevant to a receive window so we were
not setting it for a send window (which is is paired to a receive window
anyway). But to simplify reporting in debugfs, set the 'cop' field for the
send window also.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

powerpc/powernv: Enable removal of memory for in memory tracing

The hardware trace macro feature requires access to a chunk of real
memory. This patch provides a debugfs interface to do this. By
writing an integer containing the size of memory to be unplugged into
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable, the code will attempt to
remove that much memory from the end of each NUMA node.

This patch also adds additional debugsfs files for each node that
allows the tracer to interact with the removed memory, as well as
a trace file that allows userspace to read the generated trace.

Note that this patch does not invoke the hardware trace macro, it
only allows memory to be removed during runtime for the trace macro
to utilise.

powerpc/powernv: Add a kmsg_dumper that flushes console output on panic

On BMC machines, console output is controlled by the OPAL firmware and is
only flushed when its pollers are called. When the kernel is in a panic
state, it no longer calls these pollers and thus console output does not
completely flush, causing some output from the panic to be lost.

Output is only actually lost when the kernel is configured to not power off
or reboot after panic (i.e. CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT is set to 0) since OPAL
flushes the console buffer as part of its power down routines. Before this
patch, however, only partial output would be printed during the timeout wait.

This patch adds a new kmsg_dumper which gets called at panic time to ensure
panic output is not lost. It accomplishes this by calling OPAL_CONSOLE_FLUSH
in the OPAL API, and if that is not available, the pollers are called enough
times to (hopefully) completely flush the buffer.

The flushing mechanism will only affect output printed at and before the
kmsg_dump call in kernel/panic.c:panic(). As such, the "end Kernel panic"
message may still be truncated as follows:

>Call Trace:
>[c000000f1f603b00] [c0000000008e9458] dump_stack+0x90/0xbc (unreliable)

This functionality is implemented as a kmsg_dumper as it seems to be the
most sensible way to introduce platform-specific functionality to the
panic function.

powerpc/powernv: Add support for Nvlink NPUs

NVLink is a high speed interconnect that is used in conjunction with a
PCI-E connection to create an interface between CPU and GPU that

as the control path to initiate and report status of large data
transfers sent via the NVLink.

On IBM Power systems the NVLink processing unit (NPU) is similar to
the existing PHB3. This patch adds support for a new NPU PHB type. DMA
operations on the NPU are not supported as this patch sets the TCE
translation tables to be the same as the related GPU PCIe device for
each NVLink. Therefore all DMA operations are setup and controlled via
the PCIe device.

EEH is not presently supported for the NPU devices, although it may be

powerpc/powernv: Add a virtual irqchip for opal events

Whenever an interrupt is received for opal the linux kernel gets a
bitfield indicating certain events that have occurred and need handling
by the various device drivers. Currently this is handled using a
notifier interface where we call every device driver that has
registered to receive opal events.

This approach has several drawbacks. For example each driver has to do
its own checking to see if the event is relevant as well as event
masking. There is also no easy method of recording the number of times
we receive particular events.

This patch solves these issues by exposing opal events via the
standard interrupt APIs by adding a new interrupt chip and
domain. Drivers can then register for the appropriate events using
standard kernel calls such as irq_of_parse_and_map().

powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover

In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL

powerpc/powernv: Add support for POWER8 split core on powernv

Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the
core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to
appear as full cores to a guest.

The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at
length in the comments within the patch.

One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull
offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure.

The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg:

$ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core

Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that
the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes
correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2.

We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to
prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to
prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to
be run.
