powerpc/pseries: PAPR system parameter API

Introduce a set of APIs for retrieving and updating PAPR system
parameters. This encapsulates the toil of temporary RTAS work area
management, RTAS function call retries, and translation of RTAS call
statuses to conventional error values.

There are several places in the kernel that already retrieve system
parameters by calling the RTAS ibm,get-system-parameter function
directly. These will be converted to papr_sysparm_get() in changes to
follow.

As for updating system parameters, current practice is to use
sys_rtas() from user space; there are no in-kernel users of the RTAS
ibm,set-system-parameter function. However this will become deprecated
in time because it is not compatible with lockdown.

The papr_sysparm_* APIs will form the common basis for in-kernel
and user space access to system parameters. The code to expose the
set/get capabilities to user space will follow.

powerpc/pseries: add RTAS work area allocator

Various pseries-specific RTAS functions take a temporary "work area"
parameter - a buffer in memory accessible to RTAS. Typically such
functions are passed the statically allocated rtas_data_buf buffer as
the argument. This buffer is protected by a global spinlock. So users
of rtas_data_buf cannot perform sleeping operations while accessing
the buffer.

Most RTAS functions that have a work area parameter can return a
status (-2/990x) that indicates that the caller should retry. Before
retrying, the caller may need to reschedule or sleep (see
rtas_busy_delay() for details). This combination of factors
leads to uncomfortable constructions like this:

do {
spin_lock(&rtas_data_buf_lock);
rc = rtas_call(token, __pa(rtas_data_buf, ...);
if (rc == 0) {
/* parse or copy out rtas_data_buf contents */
}
spin_unlock(&rtas_data_buf_lock);
} while (rtas_busy_delay(rc));

Another unfortunately common way of handling this is for callers to
blithely ignore the possibility of a -2/990x status and hope for the
best.

If users were allowed to perform blocking operations while owning a
work area, the programming model would become less tedious and
error-prone. Users could schedule away, sleep, or perform other
blocking operations without having to release and re-acquire
resources.

We could continue to use a single work area buffer, and convert
rtas_data_buf_lock to a mutex. But that would impose an unnecessarily
coarse serialization on all users. As awkward as the current design
is, it prevents longer running operations that need to repeatedly use
rtas_data_buf from blocking the progress of others.

There are more considerations. One is that while 4KB is fine for all
current in-kernel uses, some RTAS calls can take much smaller buffers,
and some (VPD, platform dumps) would likely benefit from larger
ones. Another is that at least one RTAS function (ibm,get-vpd)
has *two* work area parameters. And finally, we should expect the
number of work area users in the kernel to increase over time as we
introduce lockdown-compatible ABIs to replace less safe use cases
based on sys_rtas/librtas.

So a special-purpose allocator for RTAS work area buffers seems worth
trying.

Properties:

* The backing memory for the allocator is reserved early in boot in
order to satisfy RTAS addressing requirements, and then managed with
genalloc.
* Allocations can block, but they never fail (mempool-like).
* Prioritizes first-come, first-serve fairness over throughput.
* Early boot allocations before the allocator has been initialized are
served via an internal static buffer.

Intended to replace rtas_data_buf. New code that needs RTAS work area
buffers should prefer this API.

powerpc/pseries: Implement secvars for dynamic secure boot

The pseries platform can support dynamic secure boot (i.e. secure boot
using user-defined keys) using variables contained with the PowerVM LPAR
Platform KeyStore (PLPKS). Using the powerpc secvar API, expose the
relevant variables for pseries dynamic secure boot through the existing
secvar filesystem layout.

The relevant variables for dynamic secure boot are signed in the
keystore, and can only be modified using the H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE hcall.
Object labels in the keystore are encoded using ucs2 format. With our
fixed variable names we don't have to care about encoding outside of the
necessary byte padding.

When a user writes to a variable, the first 8 bytes of data must contain
the signed update flags as defined by the hypervisor.

When a user reads a variable, the first 4 bytes of data contain the
policies defined for the object.

Limitations exist due to the underlying implementation of sysfs binary
attributes, as is the case for the OPAL secvar implementation -
partial writes are unsupported and writes cannot be larger than PAGE_SIZE.
(Even when using bin_attributes, which can be larger than a single page,
sysfs only gives us one page's worth of write buffer at a time, and the
hypervisor does not expose an interface for partial writes.)

powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN support

Implement a limited form of KASAN for Book3S 64-bit machines running under
the Radix MMU, supporting only outline mode.

- Enable the compiler instrumentation to check addresses and maintain the
shadow region. (This is the guts of KASAN which we can easily reuse.)

- Require kasan-vmalloc support to handle modules and anything else in
vmalloc space.

- KASAN needs to be able to validate all pointer accesses, but we can't
instrument all kernel addresses - only linear map and vmalloc. On boot,
set up a single page of read-only shadow that marks all iomap and
vmemmap accesses as valid.

- Document KASAN in powerpc docs.

Background
----------

KASAN support on Book3S is a bit tricky to get right:

- It would be good to support inline instrumentation so as to be able to
catch stack issues that cannot be caught with outline mode.

- Inline instrumentation requires a fixed offset.

- Book3S runs code with translations off ("real mode") during boot,
including a lot of generic device-tree parsing code which is used to
determine MMU features.

[ppc64 mm note: The kernel installs a linear mapping at effective
address c000...-c008.... This is a one-to-one mapping with physical
memory from 0000... onward. Because of how memory accesses work on
powerpc 64-bit Book3S, a kernel pointer in the linear map accesses the
same memory both with translations on (accessing as an 'effective
address'), and with translations off (accessing as a 'real
address'). This works in both guests and the hypervisor. For more
details, see s5.7 of Book III of version 3 of the ISA, in particular
the Storage Control Overview, s5.7.3, and s5.7.5 - noting that this
KASAN implementation currently only supports Radix.]

- Some code - most notably a lot of KVM code - also runs with translations
off after boot.

- Therefore any offset has to point to memory that is valid with
translations on or off.

One approach is just to give up on inline instrumentation. This way
boot-time checks can be delayed until after the MMU is set is up, and we
can just not instrument any code that runs with translations off after
booting. Take this approach for now and require outline instrumentation.

Previous attempts allowed inline instrumentation. However, they came with
some unfortunate restrictions: only physically contiguous memory could be
used and it had to be specified at compile time. Maybe we can do better in
the future.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - Rebased onto 5.17. Note that a kernel with
CONFIG_KASAN=y will crash during boot on a machine using HPT
translation because not all the entry points to the generic
KASAN code are protected with a call to kasan_arch_is_ready().]

powerpc/pseries: Interface to represent PAPR firmware attributes

Adds a syscall interface to represent the energy and frequency related
PAPR attributes on the system using the new H_CALL
"H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO".

H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL was previously responsible for exporting this
information in the lparcfg, however the H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL
will be deprecated P10 onwards.

The H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO H_CALL is of the following call format:
hcall(
uint64 H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO, // Get energy scale info
uint64 flags, // Per the flag request
uint64 firstAttributeId,// The attribute id
uint64 bufferAddress, // Guest physical address of the output buffer
uint64 bufferSize // The size in bytes of the output buffer
);
As specified in PAPR+ v2.11, section 14.14.3.

This H_CALL can query either all the attributes at once with
firstAttributeId = 0, flags = 0 as well as query only one attribute
at a time with firstAttributeId = id, flags = 1.

The output buffer consists of the following
1. number of attributes - 8 bytes
2. array offset to the data location - 8 bytes
3. version info - 1 byte
4. A data array of size num attributes, which contains the following:
a. attribute ID - 8 bytes
b. attribute value in number - 8 bytes
c. attribute name in string - 64 bytes
d. attribute value in string - 64 bytes

The new H_CALL exports information in direct string value format, hence
a new interface has been introduced in
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info to export this information to
userspace so that the firmware can add new values without the need for
the kernel to be changed.

The H_CALL returns the name, numeric value and string value (if exists)

The format of exposing the sysfs information is as follows:
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info/
|-- <id>/
|-- desc
|-- value
|-- value_desc (if exists)
|-- <id>/
|-- desc
|-- value
|-- value_desc (if exists)
...

The energy information that is exported is useful for userspace tools
such as powerpc-utils. Currently these tools infer the
"power_mode_data" value in the lparcfg, which in turn is obtained from
the to be deprecated H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL.

On future platforms, such userspace utilities will have to look at the
data returned from the new H_CALL being populated in this new sysfs
interface and report this information directly without the need of
interpretation.

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: Change places using CONFIG_KEXEC to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead.

Commit 2965faa5e03d ("kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core
code") introduced CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE so that CONFIG_KEXEC means whether
the kexec_load system call should be compiled-in and CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE
means whether the kexec_file_load system call should be compiled-in.
These options can be set independently from each other.

Since until now powerpc only supported kexec_load, CONFIG_KEXEC and
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE were synonyms. That is not the case anymore, so we
need to make a distinction. Almost all places where CONFIG_KEXEC was
being used should be using CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE instead, since
kexec_file_load also needs that code compiled in.
