The device-tree properties to check secure and trusted boot state are different for guests (pseries) compared to baremetal (powernv). This patch updates the existing is_ppc_secureboot_enabled() and is_ppc_trustedboot_enabled() functions to add support for pseries. For pseries the secureboot and trustedboot state are exposed via device-tree properties /ibm,secure-boot and /ibm,trusted-boot. The values of ibm,secure-boot under pseries are interpreted as: 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled in Log-only mode. This patch interprets this value as disabled, since audit mode is currently not supported for Linux. 2 - Enabled and enforced. 3-9 - Enabled and enforcing; requirements are at the discretion of the operating system. The values of ibm,trusted-boot under pseries are interpreted as: 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled Signed-off-by: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net> Reviewed-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com> [mpe: Drop machdep.h inclusion, tweak change log slightly] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1594813921-12425-1-git-send-email-nayna@linux.ibm.com

The code in vdso_cpu_init that exposes the cpu and numa node to userspace via SPRG_VDSO incorrctly masks the cpu to 12 bits. This means that any kernel running on a box with more than 4096 threads (NR_CPUS advertises a limit of of 8192 cpus) would expose userspace to two cpu contexts running at the same time with the same cpu number. Note: I'm not aware of any distro shipping a kernel with support for more than 4096 threads today, nor of any system image that currently exceeds 4096 threads. Found via code browsing.

When we enter into fadump crash path via system reset we fail to update the pstore. On the system reset path we first update the pstore then we go for fadump crash. But the problem here is when all the CPUs try to get the pstore lock to initiate the pstore write, only one CPUs will acquire the lock and proceed with the pstore write. Since it in NMI context CPUs that fail to get lock do not wait for their turn to write to the pstore and simply proceed with the next operation which is fadump crash. One of the CPU who proceeded with fadump crash path triggers the crash and does not wait for the CPU who gets the pstore lock to complete the pstore update.

A barrier is added to make sure all the secondary CPUs hit the crash_fadump function before we initiates the crash. A timeout is kept to ensure the primary CPU (one who initiates the crash) do not wait for secondary CPUs indefinitely.

Having cpumask file will reduce the number of perf command line parameters (will avoid "-C" option in the perf tool command line).

pseries_update_drconf_memory() runs from a DT notifier in response to an update to the ibm,dynamic-memory property of the /ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. This property is an older less compact format than the ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property used in most currently supported firmwares. There has never been an equivalent function for the v2 property. pseries_update_drconf_memory() compares the 'assigned' flag for each LMB in the old vs new properties and adds or removes the block accordingly. However it appears to be of no actual utility: * Partition suspension and PRRNs are specified only to change LMBs' NUMA affinity information. This notifier should be a no-op for those scenarios since the assigned flags should not change. * The memory hotplug/DLPAR path has a hack which short-circuits execution of the notifier: dlpar_memory() ... rtas_hp_event = true; drmem_update_dt() of_update_property() pseries_memory_notifier() pseries_update_drconf_memory() if (rtas_hp_event) return; So this code only makes sense as a relic of the time when more of the DLPAR workflow took place in user space. I don't see a purpose for it now.

prrn_is_enabled() always returns false/0, so handle_rtas_event() can be simplified and some dead code can be removed. Use machine_is() instead of #ifdef to run this code only on pseries, and add an informational ratelimited message that we are ignoring the events. PRRN events are relatively rare in normal operation and usually arise from operator-initiated actions such as a DPO (Dynamic Platform Optimizer) run. Eventually we do want to consume these events and update the device tree, but that needs more care to be safe vs LPM and DLPAR.

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function: * the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or * the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition resumes execution Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two states before a partition suspension can proceed. This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac ("powerpc: Bring all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads. With commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN; stopped threads can be left alone.

This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f5 ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), which added an offline mode for CPUs which uses the H_CEDE hcall instead of the architected stop-self RTAS function in order to facilitate "folding" of dedicated mode processors on PowerVM platforms to achieve energy savings. This has been the default offline mode since its introduction. There's nothing about stop-self that would prevent the hypervisor from achieving the energy savings available via H_CEDE, so the original premise of this change appears to be flawed. I also have encountered the claim that the transition to and from ceded state is much faster than stop-self/start-cpu. Certainly we would not want to use stop-self as an *idle* mode. That is what H_CEDE is for. However, this difference is insignificant in the context of Linux CPU hotplug, where the latency of an offline or online operation on current systems is on the order of 100ms, mainly attributable to all the various subsystems' cpuhp callbacks. The cede offline mode also prevents accurate accounting, as discussed before: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1571740391-3251-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ Unconditionally use stop-self to offline processor threads. This is the architected method for offlining CPUs on PAPR systems. The "cede_offline" boot parameter is rendered obsolete. Removing this code enables the removal of the partition suspend code which temporarily onlines all present CPUs.
