powerpc: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-09-01T07:53:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.

powerpc/pseries: Add FW_FEATURE_PLPKS feature flag

2023-04-20T03:21:46+00:00

Add a firmware feature flag, FW_FEATURE_PLPKS, to indicate availability of Platform KeyStore related hcalls. Check this flag in plpks_is_available() and pseries_plpks_init() before trying to make an hcall.

Revert "powerpc: Remove unused FW_FEATURE_NATIVE references"

2022-08-25T22:41:54+00:00

This reverts commit 79b74a68486765a4fe685ac4069bc71366c538f5. It broke booting on IBM Cell machines when the kernel is also built with CONFIG_PPC_PS3=y. That's because FW_FEATURE_NATIVE_ALWAYS = 0 does have an important effect, which is to clear the PS3 ALWAYS features from FW_FEATURE_ALWAYS. Note that CONFIG_PPC_NATIVE has since been renamed CONFIG_PPC_HASH_MMU_NATIVE.

powerpc/pseries: add FW_FEATURE_WATCHDOG flag

2022-07-20T11:57:39+00:00

PAPR v2.12 specifies a new optional function set, "hcall-watchdog", for the /rtas/ibm,hypertas-functions property. The presence of this function set indicates support for the H_WATCHDOG hypercall. Check for this function set and, if present, set the new FW_FEATURE_WATCHDOG flag.

powerpc/pseries: Interface to represent PAPR firmware attributes

2022-03-07T13:05:00+00:00

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/ |-- / |-- desc |-- value |-- value_desc (if exists) |-- / |-- 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.

PAPR interface currently supports two different ways of communicating resource grouping details to the OS. These are referred to as Form 0 and Form 1 associativity grouping. Form 0 is the older format and is now considered deprecated. This patch adds another resource grouping named FORM2.
