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.

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.

We have OPAL_MSG_PRD message type to pass prd related messages from
OPAL to `opal-prd`. It can handle messages upto 64 bytes. We have a
requirement to send bigger than 64 bytes of data from OPAL to
`opal-prd`. Lets add new message type (OPAL_MSG_PRD2) to pass bigger
data.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

If the kernel is notified of an HMI caused by the NPU2, it's currently
not being recognized and it logs the default message:

    Unknown Malfunction Alert of type 3

The NPU on Power 9 has 3 Fault Isolation Registers, so that's a lot of
possible causes, but we should at least log that it's an NPU problem
and report which FIR and which bit were raised if opal gave us the
information.

On TOD/TB errors timebase register stops/freezes until HMI error recovery
gets TOD/TB back into running state. On successful recovery, TB starts
running again and udelay() that relies on TB value continues to function
properly. But in case when HMI fails to recover from TOD/TB errors, the
TB register stay freezed. With TB not running the __delay() function
keeps looping and never return. If __delay() is called while in panic
path then system hangs and never reboots after panic.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Make possible for user to force a full ipl cec reboot</title>

<id>8139046a5a34787849df81f4a5875cf4b404a7a1</id>
<content type='text'>
Ever since fast reboot is enabled by default in opal,
opal_cec_reboot() will use fast-reset instead of full IPL to perform
system reboot. This leaves the user with no direct way to force a full
IPL reboot except changing an nvram setting that persistently disables
fast-reset for all subsequent reboots.

This patch provides a more direct way for the user to force a one-shot
full IPL reboot by passing the command line argument 'full' to the
reboot command. So the user will be able to tweak the reboot behavior
via:

  $ sudo reboot full	# Force a full ipl reboot skipping fast-reset

  or
  $ sudo reboot  	# default reboot path (usually fast-reset)

The reboot command passes the un-parsed command argument to the kernel
via the 'Reboot' syscall which is then passed on to the arch function
pnv_restart(). The patch updates pnv_restart() to handle this cmd-arg
and issues opal_cec_reboot2 with OPAL_REBOOT_FULL_IPL to force a full
IPL reset.

Ever since fast reboot is enabled by default in opal,
opal_cec_reboot() will use fast-reset instead of full IPL to perform
system reboot. This leaves the user with no direct way to force a full
IPL reboot except changing an nvram setting that persistently disables
fast-reset for all subsequent reboots.

This patch provides a more direct way for the user to force a one-shot
full IPL reboot by passing the command line argument 'full' to the
reboot command. So the user will be able to tweak the reboot behavior
via:

  $ sudo reboot full	# Force a full ipl reboot skipping fast-reset

  or
  $ sudo reboot  	# default reboot path (usually fast-reset)

The reboot command passes the un-parsed command argument to the kernel
via the 'Reboot' syscall which is then passed on to the arch function
pnv_restart(). The patch updates pnv_restart() to handle this cmd-arg
and issues opal_cec_reboot2 with OPAL_REBOOT_FULL_IPL to force a full
IPL reset.
