bus: mhi: host: Add soc_reset sysfs

2022-04-23T13:27:32+00:00

The MHI bus supports a standardized hardware reset, which is known as the "SoC Reset". This reset is similar to the reset sysfs for PCI devices - a hardware mechanism to reset the state back to square one. The MHI SoC Reset is described in the spec as a reset of last resort. If some unrecoverable error has occurred where other resets have failed, SoC Reset is the "big hammer" that ungracefully resets the device. This is effectivly the same as yanking the power on the device, and reapplying it. However, depending on the nature of the particular issue, the underlying transport link may remain active and configured. If the link remains up, the device will flag a MHI system error early in the boot process after the reset is executed, which allows the MHI bus to process a fatal error event, and clean up appropiately. While the SoC Reset is generally intended as a means of recovery when all else has failed, it can be useful in non-error scenarios. For example, if the device loads firmware from the host filesystem, the device may need to be fully rebooted inorder to pick up the new firmware. In this scenario, the system administrator may use the soc_reset sysfs to cause the device to pick up the new firmware that the admin placed on the filesystem.

blk-crypto: show crypto capabilities in sysfs

2022-02-28T13:40:23+00:00

Add sysfs files that expose the inline encryption capabilities of request queues: /sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/max_dun_bits /sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/modes/$mode /sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto/num_keyslots Userspace can use these new files to decide what encryption settings to use, or whether to use inline encryption at all. This also brings the crypto capabilities in line with the other queue properties, which are already discoverable via the queue directory in sysfs. Design notes: - Place the new files in a new subdirectory "crypto" to group them together and to avoid complicating the main "queue" directory. This also makes it possible to replace "crypto" with a symlink later if we ever make the blk_crypto_profiles into real kobjects (see below). - It was necessary to define a new kobject that corresponds to the crypto subdirectory. For now, this kobject just contains a pointer to the blk_crypto_profile. Note that multiple queues (and hence multiple such kobjects) may refer to the same blk_crypto_profile. An alternative design would more closely match the current kernel data structures: the blk_crypto_profile could be a kobject itself, located directly under the host controller device's kobject, while /sys/block/$disk/queue/crypto would be a symlink to it. I decided not to do that for now because it would require a lot more changes, such as no longer embedding blk_crypto_profile in other structures, and also because I'm not sure we can rule out moving the crypto capabilities into 'struct queue_limits' in the future. (Even if multiple queues share the same crypto engine, maybe the supported data unit sizes could differ due to other queue properties.) It would also still be possible to switch to that design later without breaking userspace, by replacing the directory with a symlink. - Use "max_dun_bits" instead of "max_dun_bytes". Currently, the kernel internally stores this value in bytes, but that's an implementation detail. It probably makes more sense to talk about this value in bits, and choosing bits is more future-proof. - "modes" is a sub-subdirectory, since there may be multiple supported crypto modes, sysfs is supposed to have one value per file, and it makes sense to group all the mode files together. - Each mode had to be named. The crypto API names like "xts(aes)" are not appropriate because they don't specify the key size. Therefore, I assigned new names. The exact names chosen are arbitrary, but they happen to match the names used in log messages in fs/crypto/. - The "num_keyslots" file is a bit different from the others in that it is only useful to know for performance reasons. However, it's included as it can still be useful. For example, a user might not want to use inline encryption if there aren't very many keyslots.

topology/sysfs: Add PPIN in sysfs under cpu topology

2022-02-01T15:36:42+00:00

PPIN is the Protected Processor Identification Number. This is used to identify the socket as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Existing code only displays this when reporting errors. But this makes it inconvenient for large clusters to use it for its intended purpose of inventory control. Add ppin to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology to make what is already available using RDMSR more easily accessible. Make the file read only for root in case there are still people concerned about making a unique system "serial number" available.
