powerpc/rtas: arch-wide function token lookup conversions

2023-02-13T11:35:03+00:00

With the tokens for all implemented RTAS functions now available via
rtas_function_token(), which is optimal and safe for arbitrary
contexts, there is no need to use rtas_token() or cache its result.

Most conversions are trivial, but a few are worth describing in more
detail:

* Error injection token comparisons for lockdown purposes are
  consolidated into a simple predicate: token_is_restricted_errinjct().

* A couple of special cases in block_rtas_call() do not use
  rtas_token() but perform string comparisons against names in the
  function table. These are converted to compare against token values
  instead, which is logically equivalent but less expensive.

* The lookup for the ibm,os-term token can be deferred until needed,
  instead of caching it at boot to avoid device tree traversal during
  panic.

* Since rtas_function_token() accesses a read-only data structure
  without taking any locks, xmon's lookup of set-indicator can be
  performed as needed instead of cached at startup.

powerpc/rtasd: use correct OF API for event scan rate

2022-12-07T11:20:33+00:00

rtas_token() should be used only for properties that are RTAS function
tokens. "rtas-event-scan-rate" does not contain a function token, but it
has the same size/format as token properties so reading it with
rtas_token() happens to work.

Convert to of_property_read_u32().

powerpc/kernel: Add __init attribute to eligible functions

2021-12-23T11:33:10+00:00

Some functions defined in `arch/powerpc/kernel` (and one in `arch/powerpc/
kexec`) are deserving of an `__init` macro attribute. These functions are
only called by other initialization functions and therefore should inherit
the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.

powerpc: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.

2021-08-10T13:14:56+00:00

The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been
deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to
cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock().

Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version.
The behavior remains unchanged.

powerpc/rtasd: simplify handle_rtas_event(), emit message on events

2020-07-16T03:12:38+00:00

prrn_is_enabled() always returns false/0, so handle_rtas_event() can
be simplified and some dead code can be removed. Use machine_is()
instead of #ifdef to run this code only on pseries, and add an
informational ratelimited message that we are ignoring the
events. PRRN events are relatively rare in normal operation and
usually arise from operator-initiated actions such as a DPO (Dynamic
Platform Optimizer) run.

Eventually we do want to consume these events and update the device
tree, but that needs more care to be safe vs LPM and DLPAR.

proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

2020-02-04T03:05:26+00:00

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=> proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=> proc_ioctl

	xxx		=> proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
