powerpc: export MIN RMA size

Commit 683eab94da75bc ("powerpc/fadump: setup additional parameters for
dump capture kernel") introduced the additional parameter feature in
fadump for HASH MMU with the understanding that GRUB does not use the
memory area between 640MB and 768MB for its operation.

However, the third patch ("powerpc: increase MIN RMA size for CAS
negotiation") in this series is changing the MIN RMA size to 768MB,
allowing GRUB to use memory up to 768MB. This makes the fadump
reservation for the additional parameter feature for HASH MMU
unreliable.

To address this, export the MIN_RMA so that the next patch
("powerpc/fadump: fix additional param memory reservation for HASH MMU")
can identify the correct memory range for the additional parameter
feature in fadump for HASH MMU.

powerpc/prom_init: Fixup missing powermac #size-cells

On some powermacs `escc` nodes are missing `#size-cells` properties,
which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit
045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells
handling").

For example:

Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000

As powermacs boot via prom_init it's possible to add the missing
properties to the device tree during boot, avoiding the warning. Note
that `escc-legacy` nodes are also missing `#size-cells` properties, but
they are skipped by the macio driver, so leave them alone.

powerpc/64: Remove maple platform

The maple platform was added in 2004 [1], to support the "Maple" 970FX
evaluation board.

It was later used for IBM JS20/JS21 machines, as well as the Bimini
machine, aka "Yellow Dog Powerstation".

Sadly all those machines have passed into memory, and there's been no
evidence for years that anyone is still using any of them.

Remove the platform and related code. It can always be reinstated if
there's interest.

Note that this has no impact on support for 970FX based Power Macs.

powerpc/mm: Align memory_limit value specified using mem= kernel parameter

The value specified for the memory limit is used to set a restriction on
memory usage. It is important to ensure that this restriction is within
the linear map kernel address space range. The hash page table
translation uses a 16MB page size to map the kernel linear map address
space. htab_bolt_mapping() function aligns down the size of the range
while mapping kernel linear address space. Since the memblock limit is
enforced very early during boot, before we can detect the type of memory
translation (radix vs hash), we align the memory limit value specified
as a kernel parameter to 16MB. This alignment value will work for both
hash and radix translations.

CPU, MMU and user (ELF_HWCAP) features are unchanged vs P10. However
userspace can detect P11 because the AT_PLATFORM value changes to
"power11".

The logical PVR value of 0x0F000007, passed to firmware via the
ibm_arch_vec, indicates the kernel can support a P11 compatible CPU,
which means at least ISA v3.1 compliant.

When CONFIG_KASAN is selected, we expect prom_init to use __memset()

But with CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, the compiler adds calls
to memset() to clear objects on stack, hence the following failure:

powerpc/64s: Make prom_init require RELOCATABLE

When we boot from open firmware (OF) using PPC_OF_BOOT_TRAMPOLINE, aka.
prom_init, we run parts of the kernel at an address other than the link
address. That happens because OF loads the kernel above zero (OF is at
zero) and we run prom_init before copying the kernel down to zero.

Currently that works even for non-relocatable kernels, because we do
various fixups to the prom_init code to make it run where it's loaded.

However those fixups are not sufficient if the kernel becomes large
enough. In that case prom_init()'s final call to __start() can end up
generating a plt branch:

bl c000000002000018 <00000078.plt_branch.__start>

That results in the kernel jumping to the linked address of __start,
0xc000000000000000, when really it needs to jump to the
0xc000000000000000 + the runtime address because the kernel is still
running at the load address.

We could do further shenanigans to handle that, see Jordan's patch for
example:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/[email protected]

However it is much simpler to just require a kernel with prom_init() to
be built relocatable. The result works in all configurations without
further work, and requires less code.

This should have no effect on most people, as our defconfigs and
essentially all distro configs already have RELOCATABLE enabled.

powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

powerpc/prom_init: Pass linux_banner to firmware via option vector 7

Pass the value of linux_banner to firmware via option vector 7.

Option vector 7 is described in "LoPAR" Linux on Power Architecture
Reference v2.9, in table B.7 on page 824:

An ASCII character formatted null terminated string that describes
the client operating system. The string shall be human readable and
may be displayed on the console.

The string can be up to 256 bytes total, including the nul terminator.

linux_banner contains lots of information, and should make it possible
to identify the exact kernel version that is running:

const char linux_banner[] =
"Linux version " UTS_RELEASE " (" LINUX_COMPILE_BY "@"
LINUX_COMPILE_HOST ") (" LINUX_COMPILER ") " UTS_VERSION "\n";

For example:
Linux version 4.15.0-144-generic (buildd@bos02-ppc64el-018) (gcc
version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)) #148-Ubuntu SMP Sat May 8
02:32:13 UTC 2021 (Ubuntu 4.15.0-144.148-generic 4.15.18)

It's also printed at boot to the console/dmesg, which should make it
possible to correlate what firmware receives with the console/dmesg on

powerpc/prom_init: Convert prom_strcpy() into prom_strscpy_pad()

In a subsequent patch we'd like to have something like a strscpy_pad()
implementation usable in prom_init.c.

Currently we have a strcpy() implementation with only one caller, so
convert it into strscpy_pad() and update the caller.

powerpc/prom_init: Move custom isspace() to its own namespace

If by some reason any of the headers will include ctype.h
we will have a name collision. Avoid this by moving isspace()

("powerpc/prom_init: Evaluate mem kernel parameter for early allocation").

powerpc/prom: Fix "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support" scan

The "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support" property is a list of pairs of
bytes representing the options and values supported by the platform
firmware. At boot time, Linux scans this list and activates the
available features it recognizes : Radix and XIVE.

A recent change modified the number of entries to loop on and 8 bytes,
4 pairs of { options, values } entries are always scanned. This is
fine on KVM but not on PowerVM which can advertises less. As a
consequence on this platform, Linux reads extra entries pointing to
random data, interprets these as available features and tries to
activate them, leading to a firmware crash in
ibm,client-architecture-support.

Fix that by using the property length of "ibm,arch-vec-5-platform-support".
