powerpc: Define config option for processors with broadcast TLBIE

Power ISA v3.0 (and later) implementations in the Linux Compliancy
Subset and lower are not required to implement broadcast TLBIE, and in
fact Microwatt doesn't.

To avoid the need to specify "disable_tlbie" on the kernel command
line on SMP Microwatt systems, this defines a config option that
asserts that the platform implements broadcast TLBIE. This option is
selected by the pseries and powernv platforms, but not by microwatt.
Note that this option is only relevant when the radix MMU is being
used, so platforms without a radix MMU don't need it.

powerpc/pseries: Export hardware trace macro dump via debugfs

This patch adds debugfs interface to export Hardware Trace Macro (HTM)
function data in a LPAR. New hypervisor call "H_HTM" has been
defined to setup, configure, control and dump the HTM data.
This patch supports only dumping of HTM data in a LPAR.
New debugfs folder called "htmdump" has been added under
/sys/kernel/debug/arch path which contains files need to
pass required parameters for the H_HTM dump function. New Kconfig
option called "CONFIG_HTMDUMP" is added in platform/pseries
for the same.

powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa counters

To support performance measurement for KVM on PowerVM(KoP)
feature, PowerVM hypervisor has added couple of new software
counters in Virtual Process Area(VPA) of the partition.

Commit e1f288d2f9c69 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV nestedv2: Add
support for reading VPA counters for pseries guests")
have updated the paca fields with corresponding changes.

Proposed perf interface is to expose these new software
counters for monitoring of context switch latencies and
runtime aggregate. Perf interface driver is called
"vpa_pmu" and it has dependency on KVM and perf, hence
added new config called "VPA_PMU" which depends on
"CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV" and "CONFIG_HV_PERF_CTRS".
Since, kvm and kvm_host are currently compiled as built-in
modules, this perf interface takes the same path and
registered as a module.

vpa_pmu perf interface needs access to some of the kvm
functions and structures like kvmhv_get_l2_counters_status(),
hence kvm_book3s_64.h and kvm_ppc.h are included.
Below are the events added to monitor KoP:

vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/
vpa_pmu/l2_to_l1_lat/
vpa_pmu/l2_runtime_agg/

and vpa_pmu driver supports only per-cpu monitoring with this patch.
Example usage:

[command]# perf stat -e vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/ -a -I 1000
1.001017682 727,200 vpa_pmu/l1_to_l2_lat/

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/pseries: Turn PSERIES_PLPKS into a hidden option

It seems a bit unnecessary for the PLPKS code to have a user-visible
config option when it doesn't do anything on its own, and there's existing
options for enabling Secure Boot-related features.

It should be enabled by PPC_SECURE_BOOT, which will eventually be what
uses PLPKS to populate keyrings.

However, we can't get of the separate option completely, because it will
also be used for SED Opal purposes.

Change PSERIES_PLPKS into a hidden option, which is selected by
PPC_SECURE_BOOT.

Imp

powerpc/pseries: Implement CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING

CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN under pseries does not provide stolen
time accounting unless CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING is enabled.
Implement this using the VPA accumulated wait counters.

Note this will not work on current KVM hosts because KVM does not
implement the VPA dispatch counters (yet). It could be implemented
with the dispatch trace log as it is for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE,
but that is not necessary for the more limited accounting provided
by PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING, and it is more expensive, complex, and
has downsides like potential log wrap.

From Shrikanth:

[...] it was tested on Power10 [PowerVM] Shared LPAR. system has two
LPAR. we will call first one LPAR1 and second one as LPAR2. Test was
carried out in SMT=1. Similar observation was seen in SMT=8 as well.

LPAR config header from each LPAR is below. LPAR1 is twice as big as
LPAR2. Since Both are sharing the same underlying hardware, work
stealing will happen when both the LPAR's are contending for the same
resource.

LPAR1:
type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=40 cpus=40 ent=20.00
LPAR2:
type=Shared mode=Uncapped smt=Off lcpu=20 cpus=40 ent=10.00

mpstat was used to check for the utilization. stress-ng has been used
as the workload. Few cases are tested. when the both LPAR are idle
there is no steal time. when LPAR1 starts running at 100% which
consumes all of the physical resource, steal time starts to get
accounted. With LPAR1 running at 100% and LPAR2 starts running, steal
time starts increasing. This is as expected. When the LPAR2 Load is
increased further, steal time increases further.

Case 1: 0% LPAR1; 0% LPAR2
%usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %gnice %idle
0.00 0.00 0.05 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 99.95

Case 2: 100% LPAR1; 0% LPAR2
%usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %gnice %idle
97.68 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.32 0.00 0.00 0.00

Case 3: 100% LPAR1; 50% LPAR2
%usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %gnice %idle
86.34 0.00 0.10 0.00 0.00 0.03 13.54 0.00 0.00 0.00

Case 4: 100% LPAR1; 100% LPAR2
%usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %gnice %idle
78.54 0.00 0.07 0.00 0.00 0.02 21.36 0.00 0.00 0.00

Case 5: 50% LPAR1; 100% LPAR2
%usr %nice %sys %iowait %irq %soft %steal %guest %gnice %idle
49.37 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.17 0.00 0.00 49.47

Patch is accounting for the steal time and basic tests are holding
good.

random: remove CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM

When RDRAND was introduced, there was much discussion on whether it
should be trusted and how the kernel should handle that. Initially, two
mechanisms cropped up, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, a compile time switch, and
"nordrand", a boot-time switch.

Later the thinking evolved. With a properly designed RNG, using RDRAND
values alone won't harm anything, even if the outputs are malicious.
Rather, the issue is whether those values are being *trusted* to be good
or not. And so a new set of options were introduced as the real
ones that people use -- CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu".
With these options, RDRAND is used, but it's not always credited. So in
the worst case, it does nothing, and in the best case, maybe it helps.

Along the way, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM's meaning got sort of pulled into the
center and became something certain platforms force-select.

The old options don't really help with much, and it's a bit odd to have
special handling for these instructions when the kernel can deal fine
with the existence or untrusted existence or broken existence or
non-existence of that CPU capability.

Simplify the situation by removing CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM and using the
ordinary asm-generic fallback pattern instead, keeping the two options
that are actually used. For now it leaves "nordrand" for now, as the
removal of that will take a different route.

powerpc/pseries: delete scanlog

Remove the pseries scanlog driver.

This code supports functions from Power4-era servers that are not present
on targets currently supported by arch/powerpc. System manuals from this
time have this description:

Scan Dump data is a set of chip data that the service processor gathers
after a system malfunction. It consists of chip scan rings, chip trace
arrays, and Scan COM (SCOM) registers. This data is stored in the
scan-log partition of the system’s Nonvolatile Random Access
Memory (NVRAM).

PowerVM partition firmware development doesn't recognize the associated
function call or property, and they don't see any references to them in
their codebase. It seems to have been specific to non-virtualized pseries.

Introduce a powerpc version of the cc_platform_has() function. This will
be used to replace the powerpc mem_encrypt_active() implementation, so
the implementation will initially only support the CC_ATTR_MEM_ENCRYPT
attribute.

powerpc/pseries: Implement paravirt qspinlocks for SPLPAR

This implements the generic paravirt qspinlocks using H_PROD and
H_CONFER to kick and wait.

This uses an un-directed yield to any CPU rather than the directed
yield to a pre-empted lock holder that paravirtualised simple
spinlocks use, that requires no kick hcall. This is something that
could be investigated and improved in future.

Performance results can be found in the commit which added queued
spinlocks.

powerpc/pseries/cmm: Implement balloon compaction

We can now get rid of the cmm_lock and completely rely on the balloon
compaction internals, which now also manage the page list and the
lock.

Inflated/"loaned" pages are now movable. Memory blocks that contain
such pages can get offlined. Also, all such pages will be marked
PageOffline() and can therefore be excluded in memory dumps using
recent versions of makedumpfile.

Don't switch to balloon_page_alloc() yet (due to the GFP_NOIO). Will
do that separately to discuss this change in detail.

powerpc/pseries/svm: Force SWIOTLB for secure guests

SWIOTLB checks range of incoming CPU addresses to be bounced and sees if
the device can access it through its DMA window without requiring bouncing.
In such cases it just chooses to skip bouncing. But for cases like secure
guests on powerpc platform all addresses need to be bounced into the shared
pool of memory because the host cannot access it otherwise. Hence the need
to do the bouncing is not related to device's DMA window and use of bounce
buffers is forced by setting swiotlb_force.

Also, connect the shared memory conversion functions into the
ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT hooks and call swiotlb_update_mem_attributes() to
convert SWIOTLB's memory pool to shared memory.

powerpc/pseries/dma: Enable SWIOTLB

So far the pseries platforms has always been using IOMMU making
SWIOTLB unnecessary. Now we want secure guests which means devices can
only access certain areas of guest physical memory; we are going to
use SWIOTLB for this purpose.

This allows SWIOTLB for pseries. By default there is no change in
behavior.

This enables SWIOTLB when the "swiotlb" kernel parameter is set to
"force".

With the SWIOTLB enabled, the kernel creates a directly mapped DMA
window (using the usual DDW mechanism) and implements SWIOTLB on top
of that.
