pseries_update_drconf_memory() runs from a DT notifier in response to
an update to the ibm,dynamic-memory property of the
/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. This property is an older
less compact format than the ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property used in
most currently supported firmwares. There has never been an equivalent
function for the v2 property.
pseries_update_drconf_memory() compares the 'assigned' flag for each
LMB in the old vs new properties and adds or removes the block
accordingly. However it appears to be of no actual utility:
* Partition suspension and PRRNs are specified only to change LMBs'
NUMA affinity information. This notifier should be a no-op for those
scenarios since the assigned flags should not change.
* The memory hotplug/DLPAR path has a hack which short-circuits
execution of the notifier:
dlpar_memory()
...
rtas_hp_event = true;
drmem_update_dt()
of_update_property()
pseries_memory_notifier()
pseries_update_drconf_memory()
if (rtas_hp_event) return;
So this code only makes sense as a relic of the time when more of the
DLPAR workflow took place in user space. I don't see a purpose for it
now.

Partition suspension, used for hibernation and migration, requires
that the OS place all but one of the LPAR's processor threads into one
of two states prior to calling the ibm,suspend-me RTAS function:
* the architected offline state (via RTAS stop-self); or
* the H_JOIN hcall, which does not return until the partition
resumes execution
Using H_CEDE as the offline mode, introduced by
commit 3aa565f53c ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into
an appropriate offline state"), means that any threads which are
offline from Linux's point of view must be moved to one of those two
states before a partition suspension can proceed.
This was eventually addressed in commit 120496ac2d ("powerpc: Bring
all threads online prior to migration/hibernation"), which added code
to temporarily bring up any offline processor threads so they can call
H_JOIN. Conceptually this is fine, but the implementation has had
multiple races with cpu hotplug operations initiated from user
space[1][2][3], the error handling is fragile, and it generates
user-visible cpu hotplug events which is a lot of noise for a platform
feature that's supposed to minimize disruption to workloads.
With commit 3aa565f53c ("powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU
into an appropriate offline state") reverted, this code becomes
unnecessary, so remove it. Since any offline CPUs now are truly
offline from the platform's point of view, it is no longer necessary
to bring up CPUs only to have them call H_JOIN and then go offline
again upon resuming. Only active threads are required to call H_JOIN;
stopped threads can be left alone.

serialization during LPM")
[2] commit 9fb603050f ("powerpc/rtas: retry when cpu offline races

This effectively reverts commit 3aa565f53c ("powerpc/pseries: Add
hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline state"), which added
an offline mode for CPUs which uses the H_CEDE hcall instead of the
architected stop-self RTAS function in order to facilitate "folding"
of dedicated mode processors on PowerVM platforms to achieve energy
savings. This has been the default offline mode since its
introduction.
There's nothing about stop-self that would prevent the hypervisor from
achieving the energy savings available via H_CEDE, so the original
premise of this change appears to be flawed.
I also have encountered the claim that the transition to and from
ceded state is much faster than stop-self/start-cpu. Certainly we
would not want to use stop-self as an *idle* mode. That is what H_CEDE
is for. However, this difference is insignificant in the context of
Linux CPU hotplug, where the latency of an offline or online operation
on current systems is on the order of 100ms, mainly attributable to
all the various subsystems' cpuhp callbacks.
The cede offline mode also prevents accurate accounting, as discussed
before:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/1571740391-3251-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com/
Unconditionally use stop-self to offline processor threads. This is
the architected method for offlining CPUs on PAPR systems.
The "cede_offline" boot parameter is rendered obsolete.
Removing this code enables the removal of the partition suspend code
which temporarily onlines all present CPUs.

When a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable fault loads registers and enables the
facility in the MSR, re-set the lazy restore counters to 1 rather
than incrementing them so every fault gets the same number of
restores before the next fault.
This probably shouldn't be a practical change because if a lazy counter
was non-zero then it should have been restored and would not cause a
fault when userspace tries to access it. However the code and comment
implies otherwise so that's misleading and unnecessary.

Before returning to user, if there are missing FP/VEC/VSX bits from the
user MSR then those registers had been saved and must be restored again
before use. restore_math will decide whether to restore immediately, or
skip the restore and let fp/vec/vsx unavailable faults demand load the
registers.
Each time restore_math restores one of the FP/VSX or VEC register sets
is loaded, an 8-bit counter is incremented (load_fp and load_vec). When
these wrap to zero, restore_math no longer restores that register set
until after they are next demand faulted.
It's quite usual for those counters to have different values, so if one
wraps to zero and restore_math no longer restores its registers or user
MSR bit but the other is not zero yet does not need to be restored
(because the kernel is not frequently using the FPU), then restore_math
will be called and it will also not return in the early exit check.
This causes msr_check_and_set to test and set the MSR at every kernel
exit despite having no work to do.
This can cause workloads (e.g., a NULL syscall microbenchmark) to run
fast for a time while both counters are non-zero, then slow down when
one of the counters reaches zero, then speed up again after the second
counter reaches zero. The cost is significant, about 10% slowdown on a
NULL syscall benchmark, and the jittery behaviour is very undesirable.
Fix this by having restore_math test all conditions first, and only
update MSR if we will be loading registers.

memory cache flush functions to use a new `dcbf` variant instruction. The new
instructions even though added in ISA 3.1 works even on P8 and P9 because these

Considering these devices are only supported on P8 and above, update the driver
to prevent a P7-compat guest from using persistent memory devices.
We don't update of_pmem driver with the same condition, because, on bare-metal,
the firmware enables pmem support only on P9 and above. There the kernel depends

Returning from an interrupt or syscall to a signal handler currently
begins execution directly at the handler's entry point, with LR set to
the address of the sigreturn trampoline. When the signal handler
function returns, it runs the trampoline. It looks like this:
# interrupt at user address xyz
# kernel stuff... signal is raised
rfid
# void handler(int sig)
addis 2,12,.TOC.-.LCF0@ha
addi 2,2,.TOC.-.LCF0@l

addi r1,r1,__SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE
li r0,__NR_rt_sigreturn
sc
# kernel executes rt_sigreturn
rfid
# back to user address xyz
Note the blr with no matching bl. This can corrupt the return
predictor.
Solve this by instead resuming execution at the signal trampoline
which then calls the signal handler. qtrace-tools link_stack checker
confirms the entire user/kernel/vdso cycle is balanced after this
patch, whereas it's not upstream.
Alan confirms the dwarf unwind info still looks good. gdb still

break inside a signal handler.
Performance is pretty noisy, not a very significant change on a POWER9
here, but branch misses are consistently a lot lower on a
microbenchmark:

The kernel test robot pointed out a slightly different error message
after recent commit 5456ffdee6 ("powerpc/spufs: simplify spufs core
dumping") to spufs for a configuration that never worked:
powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_proxydma_info_dump':
>> file.c:(.text+0x4c68): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'
powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_dma_info_dump':
file.c:(.text+0x4d70): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'
powerpc64-linux-ld: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.o: in function `.spufs_wbox_info_dump':
file.c:(.text+0x4df4): undefined reference to `.dump_emit'
Add a Kconfig dependency to prevent this from happening again.

pnv_ioda_setup_bus_dma() is only used when a passed through PE is
returned to the host. If the kernel is built without IOMMU support
this is dead code. Move it under the #ifdef with the rest of the
IOMMU API support.

The kernel test robot noticed these are non-static which causes Clang to
print some warnings. These are called via ppc_md function pointers so
there's no need for them to be non-static.
