This patch extends pstore, a generic interface to platform dependent
persistent storage, support for powernv platform to capture certain
useful information, during dying moments. Such support is already in
place for pseries platform. This patch re-uses most of that code.
It is a common practice to compile kernels with both CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES=y
and CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=y. The code in nvram_init_oops_partition() routine
still works as intended, as the caller is platform specific code which
passes the appropriate value for "rtas_partition_exists" parameter.
In all other places, where CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES or CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV
flag is used in this patchset, it is to reduce the kernel size in cases
where this flag is not set and doesn't have any impact logic wise.

With minor checks, we can move most of the code for nvram
under pseries to a common place to be re-used by other
powerpc platforms like powernv. This patch moves such
common code to arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c file.

%12s limit the width, not for the original string output length

When reading partitions, the length has to be translated from
big endian to the endian order of the host. Similarly, when writing
partitions, the length needs to be in big endian order.
The userspace tool 'nvram' needs a similar fix as it is reading
and writing partitions through /dev/nram :

When error occurs, need return the related error code to let upper
caller know about it.
ppc_md.nvram_size() can return the error code (e.g. core99_nvram_size()

Also set ret value when only need it, so can save structions for normal

The nvram log partition stuff currently in nvram_64.c is really
pseries specific. It isn't actually used on anything else (despite
the fact that we ran the code to setup the partition on anything
except powermac) and the log format is specific to pseries RTAS
implementation. So move it where it belongs

This changes the function to use nvram_find_partition() instead
of doing the lookup "by hand". It also makes some of the logic
clearer and prints out more useful diagnostic information.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
Existing code is nasty, has bugs etc... rewrite the function
more simply, and make it take the signature and optional
name of the partitions to remove as arguments, thus making
it a more generic utility.
We also try to remove a log partition that we find and is too
small rather than creating a duplicate.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
This error log stuff is really pseries specific. As a first step we move
the initialization of these variables to the caller of
nvram_create_partition(), which is also slightly reorganized so we
setup the free partition before we clear the new partition, so the
chance of an error during clear leaving us with invalid headers
is lessened.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than
just the first two words since the previous code was rather
specific to the pseries log partition format.

This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes
rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally

The ioctl is only used for powermac systems and reads a partition
number from an array which is initialized at boot time way before the
nvram code is initialized. So it's safe to switch to unlocked_ioctl.

Get rid of the jumbled usage of the no_logging flag. Its use
spans several directories, and is incorrectly/misleadingly
documented. Instead, two changes:
1) nvram will accept error log as soon as its ready.
2) logging to nvram stops on the first fatal error reported.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

This is a cosmetic fixup. When printing the nvram partition table, the
first couple entries have a shorter 'index' value than the others, so
table is a bit askew. This change makes the table look pretty.
Tested on pseries and g5. Footnote: yes, this table is normally hidden
behind a DEBUG_NVRAM #define.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.
We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.
