Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Add POWER9 machine check handler. There are several new types of errors
added, so logging messages for those are also added.
This doesn't attempt to reuse any of the P7/8 defines or functions,
because that becomes too complex. The better option in future is to use
a table driven approach.

Currently severity and initiator are always set to MCE_SEV_ERROR_SYNC and
MCE_INITIATOR_CPU in the core mce code. Allow them to be set by the
machine specific mce handlers.
No functional change for existing handlers.

A synchronous machine check is an exception raised by the attempt to
execute the current instruction. If the error can't be corrected, it
can make sense to SIGBUS the currently running process.
In other cases, the error condition is not related to the current
instruction, so killing the current process is not the right thing to
do.
Today, all machine checks are MCE_SEV_ERROR_SYNC, so this has no
practical change. It will be used to handle POWER9 asynchronous
machine checks.

This was caused by the device having NULL dma_ops, triggering the
BUG_ON(). Previously the device inherited its dma_ops via the assignment
to dev->ofdev.dev.archdata. However after commit 5657933dbb6e the
dma_ops are moved into dev->ofdev.dev, and so they need to be explicitly
copied.

On POWERNV platform, in order to do DMA via IOMMU (i.e. 32bit DMA in
our case), a device needs an iommu_table pointer set via
set_iommu_table_base().
The codeflow is:
- pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_dma_pe()
- pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_default_config()
- pnv_ioda_setup_bus_dma() [1]
pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_dma_pe() creates IOMMU groups,
pnv_pci_ioda2_setup_default_config() does default DMA setup,
pnv_ioda_setup_bus_dma() takes a bus PE (on IODA2, all physical function
PEs as bus PEs except NPU), walks through all underlying buses and
devices, adds all devices to an IOMMU group and sets iommu_table.
On IODA2, when VFIO is used, it takes ownership over a PE which means it
removes all tables and creates new ones (with a possibility of sharing
them among PEs). So when the ownership is returned from VFIO to
the kernel, the iommu_table pointer written to a device at [1] is
stale and needs an update.
This adds an "add_to_group" parameter to pnv_ioda_setup_bus_dma()
(in fact re-adds as it used to be there a while ago for different
reasons) to tell the helper if a device needs to be added to
an IOMMU group with an iommu_table update or just the latter.
This calls pnv_ioda_setup_bus_dma(..., false) from
pnv_ioda2_release_ownership() so when the ownership is restored,
32bit DMA can work again for a device. This does the same thing
on obtaining ownership as the iommu_table point is stale at this point
anyway and it is safer to have NULL there.
We did not hit this earlier as all tested devices in recent years were
only using 64bit DMA; the rare exception for this is MPT3 SAS adapter
which uses both 32bit and 64bit DMA access and it has not been tested
with VFIO much.

The IODA2 specification says that a 64 DMA address cannot use top 4 bits
(3 are reserved and one is a "TVE select"); bottom page_shift bits
cannot be used for multilevel table addressing either.
The existing IODA2 table allocation code aligns the minimum TCE table
size to PAGE_SIZE so in the case of 64K system pages and 4K IOMMU pages,
we have 64-4-12=48 bits. Since 64K page stores 8192 TCEs, i.e. needs
13 bits, the maximum number of levels is 48/13 = 3 so we physically
cannot address more and EEH happens on DMA accesses.
This adds a check that too many levels were requested.
It is still possible to have 5 levels in the case of 4K system page size.

On POWER8 (ISA 2.07) lxvx and stxvx are defined to be extended mnemonics
of lxvd2x and stxvd2x. For POWER9 (ISA 3.0) the HW architects in their
infinite wisdom made lxvx and stxvx instructions in their own right.
POWER9 aware GCC will use the POWER9 instruction for lxvx and stxvx
causing these selftests to fail on POWER8. Further compounding the
issue, because of the way -mvsx works it will cause the power9
instructions to be used regardless of -mcpu=power8 to GCC or -mpower8 to
AS.
The safest way to address the problem for now is to not use the extended
mnemonic. We don't care how the CPU loads the values from memory since
the tests only performs register comparisons, so using stdvd2x/lxvd2x
does not impact the test.

Recent toolchains force the TOC to be 256 byte aligned. We need to
enforce this alignment in the zImage linker script, otherwise pointers
to our TOC variables (__toc_start) could be incorrect. If the actual
start of the TOC and __toc_start don't have the same value we crash
early in the zImage wrapper.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Five fairly small fixes for things that went in this cycle.
A fairly large patch to rework the CAS logic on Power9, necessitated
by a late change to the firmware API, and we can't boot without it.
Three fixes going to stable, allowing more instructions to be emulated
on LE, fixing a boot crash on 32-bit Freescale BookE machines, and the
OPAL XICS workaround.
And a patch from me to sort the selects under CONFIG PPC. Annoying
churn, but worth it in the long run, and best for it to go in now to
avoid conflicts.

We have a big list of selects under CONFIG_PPC, and currently they're
completely unsorted. This means people tend to add new selects at the
bottom of the list, and so two commits which both add a new select will
often conflict.
Instead sort it alphabetically. This is nicer in and of itself, but also
means two commits that add a new select will have a greater chance of
not conflicting.
Add a note at the top and bottom asking people to keep it sorted.
And while we're here pad out the 'if' expressions to make them stand
out.
