powerpc/powernv: Move opal-api.h closer to the Skiboot version 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.

powernv: Fix OPAL tracepoint code Patch c49f63530bb6 ("powernv: Add OPAL tracepoints") has a spurious store to the stack: ld r12,opal_tracepoint_refcount@toc(r2); \ std r12,32(r1); \ The store was originally used to save the current tracepoint status so the entry and the exit tracepoints were always balanced. In the end I just created a separate path when tracepoints are enabled. The offset on the stack used for this store is not valid for ABIv2 and it causes strange issues. I noticed it because OPAL console input was broken.

powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus Winkle is a deep idle state supported in power8 chips. A core enters winkle when all the threads of the core enter winkle. In this state power supply to the entire chiplet i.e core, private L2 and private L3 is turned off. As a result it gives higher powersavings compared to sleep. But entering winkle results in a total hypervisor state loss. Hence the hypervisor context has to be preserved before entering winkle and restored upon wake up. Power-on Reset Engine (PORE) is a dedicated engine which is responsible for powering on the chiplet during wake up. It can be programmed to restore the register contests of a few specific registers. This patch uses PORE to restore register state wherever possible and uses stack to save and restore rest of the necessary registers. With hypervisor state restore things fall under three categories- per-core state, per-subcore state and per-thread state. To manage this, extend the infrastructure introduced for sleep. Mainly we add a paca variable subcore_sibling_mask. Using this and the core_idle_state we can distingush first thread in core and subcore. Signed-off-by: Shreyas B.

powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management Deep idle states like sleep and winkle are per core idle states. A core enters these states only when all the threads enter either the particular idle state or a deeper one. There are tasks like fastsleep hardware bug workaround and hypervisor core state save which have to be done only by the last thread of the core entering deep idle state and similarly tasks like timebase resync, hypervisor core register restore that have to be done only by the first thread waking up from these state. The current idle state management does not have a way to distinguish the first/last thread of the core waking/entering idle states. Tasks like timebase resync are done for all the threads. This is not only is suboptimal, but can cause functionality issues when subcores and kvm is involved. This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to track idle states of threads in a per-core structure. It uses this info to perform tasks like fastsleep workaround and timebase resync only once per core. Signed-off-by: Shreyas B. Prabhu <shreyas@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Originally-by: Preeti U.

rtc/tpo: Driver to support rtc and wakeup on PowerNV platform 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.

powernv: Use _GLOBAL_TOC for opal wrappers Currently, we can't call opal wrappers from modules when using the LE ABIv2, which requires a TOC init. If we do we'll try and load the opal entry point using the wrong toc and probably explode or worse jump to the wrong address. Nothing in upstream is making opal calls from a module, but we do export one of the wrappers so we should fix this anyway. This change uses the _GLOBAL_TOC() macro (rather than _GLOBAL) for the opal wrappers, so that we can do non-local calls to them.

If tracepoints are enabled we branch out to a common routine that calls an entry and exit tracepoint.

powerpc/powernv Platform dump interface 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.
