The error injection facility on pseries VMs allows corruption of
arbitrary guest memory, potentially enabling a sufficiently privileged
user to disable lockdown or perform other modifications of the running
kernel via the rtas syscall.

Block the PAPR error injection facility from being opened or called
when locked down.

At the time this was submitted by Leonardo, I confirmed -- or thought
I had confirmed -- with PowerVM partition firmware development that
the following RTAS functions:

- ibm,get-xive
- ibm,int-off
- ibm,int-on
- ibm,set-xive

were safe to call on multiple CPUs simultaneously, not only with
respect to themselves as indicated by PAPR, but with arbitrary other
RTAS calls:

https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/875zcy2v8o.fsf@linux.ibm.com/

Recent discussion with firmware development makes it clear that this
is not true, and that the code in commit b664db8e3f97 ("powerpc/rtas:
Implement reentrant rtas call") is unsafe, likely explaining several
strange bugs we've seen in internal testing involving DLPAR and
LPM. These scenarios use ibm,configure-connector, whose internal state
can be corrupted by the concurrent use of the "reentrant" functions,
leading to symptoms like endless busy statuses from RTAS.

<title>powerpc/rtas: Allow ibm,platform-dump RTAS call with null buffer address</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a special case to block_rtas_call() to allow the ibm,platform-dump RTAS
call through the RTAS filter if the buffer address is 0.

According to PAPR, ibm,platform-dump is called with a null buffer address
to notify the platform firmware that processing of a particular dump is
finished.

Without this, on a pseries machine with CONFIG_PPC_RTAS_FILTER enabled, an
application such as rtas_errd that is attempting to retrieve a dump will
encounter an error at the end of the retrieval process.

RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).

The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.

Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.

RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":

  R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
  its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
  0 when in the critical regions.

Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real mode, 32 bits big endian mode and Recoverable
Interrupt is loaded. In the case MSR[S] is set, it will remain set while
entering RTAS as only urfid can unset it (thanks Fabiano).

In addition a check is added in do_enter_rtas() to detect calls made with
MSR[RI] unset, as we are forcing it on later.

This patch has been tested on the following machines:
Power KVM Guest
  P8 S822L (host Ubuntu kernel 5.11.0-49-generic)
PowerVM LPAR
  P8 9119-MME (FW860.A1)
  p9 9008-22L (FW950.00)

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.

RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":

  R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
  its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
  0 when in the critical regions.

Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real mode, 32 bits big endian mode and Recoverable
Interrupt is loaded. In the case MSR[S] is set, it will remain set while
entering RTAS as only urfid can unset it (thanks Fabiano).

In addition a check is added in do_enter_rtas() to detect calls made with
MSR[RI] unset, as we are forcing it on later.

This patch has been tested on the following machines:
Power KVM Guest
  P8 S822L (host Ubuntu kernel 5.11.0-49-generic)
PowerVM LPAR
  P8 9119-MME (FW860.A1)
  p9 9008-22L (FW950.00)
  P10 9080-HEX (FW1010.00)

Don't inherit headers "by chances" from asm/prom.h, asm/mpc52xx.h,
asm/pci.h etc...

Include the needed headers, and remove asm/prom.h when it was
needed exclusively for pulling necessary headers.

<title>powerpc: Set crashkernel offset to mid of RMA region</title>

<id>7c5ed82b800d8615cdda00729e7b62e5899f0b13</id>
<content type='text'>
On large config LPARs (having 192 and more cores), Linux fails to boot
due to insufficient memory in the first memblock. It is due to the
memory reservation for the crash kernel which starts at 128MB offset of
the first memblock. This memory reservation for the crash kernel doesn't
leave enough space in the first memblock to accommodate other essential
system resources.

The crash kernel start address was set to 128MB offset by default to
ensure that the crash kernel get some memory below the RMA region which
is used to be of size 256MB. But given that the RMA region size can be
512MB or more, setting the crash kernel offset to mid of RMA size will
leave enough space for the kernel to allocate memory for other system
resources.

Since the above crash kernel offset change is only applicable to the LPAR
platform, the LPAR feature detection is pushed before the crash kernel
reservation. The rest of LPAR specific initialization will still
be done during pseries_probe_fw_features as usual.

This patch is dependent on changes to paca allocation for boot CPU. It
expect boot CPU to discover 1T segment support which is introduced by
the patch posted here:
