H A Dpapr-sysparm.c419e27f32b6dc13c3e6f443d1ad104f2845c444b Fri Feb 10 19:42:02 CET 2023 Nathan Lynch <nathanl@linux.ibm.com> powerpc/pseries: PAPR system parameter API

Introduce a set of APIs for retrieving and updating PAPR system
parameters. This encapsulates the toil of temporary RTAS work area
management, RTAS function call retries, and translation of RTAS call
statuses to conventional error values.

There are several places in the kernel that already retrieve system
parameters by calling the RTAS ibm,get-system-parameter function
directly. These will be converted to papr_sysparm_get() in changes to
follow.

As for updating system parameters, current practice is to use
sys_rtas() from user space; there are no in-kernel users of the RTAS
ibm,set-system-parameter function. However this will become deprecated
in time because it is not compatible with lockdown.

The papr_sysparm_* APIs will form the common basis for in-kernel
and user space access to system parameters. The code to expose the
set/get capabilities to user space will follow.
