<content type='text'>
Since termio interface is now obsolete, include/uapi/asm/ioctls.h
has some constant macros referring to "struct termio", this caused
build failure at userspace.

In file included from /usr/include/asm/ioctl.h:12,
                 from /usr/include/asm/ioctls.h:5,
                 from tst-ioctls.c:3:
tst-ioctls.c: In function 'get_TCGETA':
tst-ioctls.c:12:10: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'
   12 |   return TCGETA;
      |          ^~~~~~

Even though termios.h provides "struct termio", trying to juggle definitions around to
make it compile could introduce regressions. So better to open code it.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Add a char driver for physical-attestation RTAS</title>
<updated>2025-04-17T06:12:30+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=86900ab620a42396a749b506d4a187820fc3fabe'/>

<content type='text'>
The RTAS call ibm,physical-attestation is used to retrieve
information about the trusted boot state of the firmware and
hypervisor on the system, and also Trusted Platform Modules (TPM)
data if the system is TCG 2.0 compliant.

This RTAS interface expects the caller to define different command
structs such as RetrieveTPMLog, RetrievePlatformCertificat and etc,
in a work area with a maximum size of 4K bytes and the response
buffer will be returned in the same work area.

The current implementation of this RTAS function is in the user
space but allocation of the work area is restricted with the system
lockdown. So this patch implements this RTAS function in the kernel
and expose to the user space with open/ioctl/read interfaces.

PAPR (2.13+ 21.3 ibm,physical-attestation) defines RTAS function:
- Pass the command struct to obtain the response buffer for the
  specific command.
- This RTAS function is sequence RTAS call and has to issue RTAS
  call multiple times to get the complete response buffer (max 64K).
  The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and
  the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the
  previous calls.

Expose these interfaces to user space with a
/dev/papr-physical-attestation character device using the following
programming model:

 int devfd = open("/dev/papr-physical-attestation");
 int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_PHY_ATTEST_IOC_HANDLE,
                      struct papr_phy_attest_io_block);
 - The user space defines the command struct and requests the
   response for any command.
 - Obtain the complete response buffer and returned the buffer as
   blob to the command specific FD.
 size = read(fd, buf, len);
 - Can retrieve the response buffer once or multiple times until the
   end of BLOB buffer.

Implemented this new kernel ABI support in librtas library for
system lockdown

<title>powerpc/pseries: Add papr-platform-dump character driver for dump retrieval</title>

ibm,platform-dump RTAS call in combination with writable mapping
/dev/mem is issued to collect platform dump from the hypervisor
and may need multiple calls to get the complete dump. The current
implementation uses rtas_platform_dump() API provided by librtas
library to issue these RTAS calls. But /dev/mem access by the
user space is prohibited under system lockdown.

The solution should be to restrict access to RTAS function in user
space and provide kernel interfaces to collect dump. This patch
adds papr-platform-dump character driver and expose standard
interfaces such as open / ioctl/ read to user space in ways that
are compatible with lockdown.

PAPR (7.3.3.4.1 ibm,platform-dump) provides a method to obtain
the complete dump:
- Each dump will be identified by ID called dump tag.
- A sequence of RTAS calls have to be issued until retrieve the
  complete dump. The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with
  the sequence 0 and the subsequent calls with the sequence
  number returned from the previous calls.
- The hypervisor returns "dump complete" status once the complete
  dump is retrieved. But expects one more RTAS call from the
  partition with the NULL buffer to invalidate dump which means
  the dump will be removed in the hypervisor.
- Sequence of calls are allowed with different dump IDs at the
  same time but not with the same dump ID.

Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-platform-dump
character device using the following programming model:

   int devfd = open("/dev/papr-platform-dump", O_RDONLY);
   int fd = ioctl(devfd,PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE, &amp;dump_id)
	- Restrict user space to access with the same dump ID.
          Typically we do not expect user space requests the dump
          again for the same dump ID.
   char *buf = malloc(size);
   length = read(fd, buf, size);
        - size should be minimum 1K based on PAPR and  &lt;= 4K based
          on RTAS work area size. It will be restrict to RTAS work
          area size. Using 4K work area based on the current
          implementation in librtas library
        - Each read call issue RTAS call to get the data based on
          the size requirement and returns bytes returned from the
          hypervisor
        - If the previous call returns dump complete status, the
          next read returns 0 like EOF.
   ret = ioctl(PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_INVALIDATE, &amp;dump_id)
	- RTAS call with NULL buffer to invalidates the dump.

The read API should use the file descriptor obtained from ioctl
based on dump ID so that gets dump contents for the corresponding
dump ID. Implemented support in librtas (rtas_platform_dump()) for
this new ABI to support system lockdown.

To issue ibm,get-indices, ibm,set-dynamic-indicator and
ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state in the user space, the RMO buffer is
allocated for the work area which is restricted under system
lockdown. So instead of user space execution, the kernel will
provide /dev/papr-indices interface to execute these RTAS calls.

The user space assigns data in papr_indices_io_block struct
depends on the specific HCALL and passes to the following ioctls:

PAPR_INDICES_IOC_GET:		Use for ibm,get-indices. Returns a
				get-indices handle fd to read data.
PAPR_DYNAMIC_SENSOR_IOC_GET:	Use for  ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state.
				Updates the sensor state in

PAPR_DYNAMIC_INDICATOR_IOC_SET:	Use for ibm,set-dynamic-indicator.

The patch adds a one-reg register identifier which can be used to
read and set the virtual HASHPKEYR for the guest during enter/exit
with KVM_REG_PPC_HASHPKEYR. The specific SPR KVM API documentation
too updated.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Enable BPF Kernel Functions (kfuncs) in the powerpc BPF JIT.

 - Allow per-process DEXCR (Dynamic Execution Control Register) settings
   via prctl, notably NPHIE which controls hashst/hashchk for ROP
   protection.

 - Install powerpc selftests in sub-directories. Note this changes the
   way run_kselftest.sh needs to be invoked for powerpc selftests.

 - Change fadump (Firmware Assisted Dump) to better handle memory
   add/remove.

 - Add support for passing additional parameters to the fadump kernel.

 - Add support for updating the kdump image on CPU/memory add/remove
   events.

 - Other small features, cleanups and fixes.
