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/opal: Annotate out param endianness

2023-10-19T06:16:20+00:00

Sparse reports an endian mismatch with args to opal_int_get_xirr(). Checking the skiboot source[1] shows the function takes a __be32* (as expected), so update the function declaration to reflect this.

powerpc/powernv: remove orphan declarations from opal.h

Remove the following orphan declarations from opal.h: 1. opal_notifier_register() 2. opal_notifier_unregister() 3. opal_notifier_update_evt() 4. opal_notifier_enable() 5. opal_notifier_disable() They have been removed since commit 81f2f7ce4c5b ("opal: Remove events notifier"), so remove them.

powerpc/powernv: Add __init attribute to eligible functions

2021-12-23T11:33:15+00:00

Some functions defined in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv' are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit the attribute. Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

powerpc/powernv: Fix type of opal_mpipl_query_tag() addr argument

2021-04-22T10:59:09+00:00

opal_mpipl_query_tag() takes a pointer to a 64-bit value, which firmware writes a value to. As OPAL is traditionally big endian this value will be big endian. This can be confirmed by looking at the implementation in skiboot: static uint64_t opal_mpipl_query_tag(enum opal_mpipl_tags tag, __be64 *tag_val) { ... *tag_val = cpu_to_be64(opal_mpipl_tags[tag]); return OPAL_SUCCESS; } Fix the declaration to annotate that the value is big endian.

powerpc/powernv: Add OPAL API interface to access secure variable

2019-11-12T13:33:22+00:00

The X.509 certificates trusted by the platform and required to secure boot the OS kernel are wrapped in secure variables, which are controlled by OPAL. This patch adds firmware/kernel interface to read and write OPAL secure variables based on the unique key. This support can be enabled using CONFIG_OPAL_SECVAR.

powerpc/opal: add MPIPL interface definitions

2019-09-13T14:04:43+00:00

MPIPL is Memory Preserving IPL supported from POWER9. This enables the kernel to reset the system with memory 'preserved'. Also, it supports copying memory from a source address to some destination address during MPIPL boot. Add MPIPL interface definitions here to leverage these f/w features in adding FADump support for PowerNV platform.
