powerpc/pseries: Add support for FORM2 associativity

2021-08-13T12:04:27Z

PAPR interface currently supports two different ways of communicating resource grouping details to the OS. These are referred to as Form 0 and Form 1 associativity grouping. Form 0 is the older format and is now considered deprecated. This patch adds another resource grouping named FORM2.

powerpc/64s/syscall: Use pt_regs.trap to distinguish syscall ABI difference between sc and scv syscalls

2021-05-20T14:58:03Z

The sc and scv 0 system calls have different ABI conventions, and ptracers need to know which system call type is being used if they want to look at the syscall registers. Document that pt_regs.trap can be used for this, and fix one in-tree user to work with scv 0 syscalls.

powerpc/papr_scm: Implement support for H_SCM_FLUSH hcall

2021-04-14T13:04:07Z

Add support for ND_REGION_ASYNC capability if the device tree indicates 'ibm,hcall-flush-required' property in the NVDIMM node. Flush is done by issuing H_SCM_FLUSH hcall to the hypervisor. If the flush request failed, the hypervisor is expected to to reflect the problem in the subsequent nvdimm H_SCM_HEALTH call. This patch prevents mmap of namespaces with MAP_SYNC flag if the nvdimm requires an explicit flush[1].

docs: powerpc: Fix tables in syscall64-abi.rst

2021-02-25T20:04:24Z

Commit 209b44c804c ("docs: powerpc: syscall64-abi.rst: fix a malformed table") attempted to fix the formatting of tables in syscall64-abi.rst, but inadvertently changed some register names. Redo the tables with the correct register names, and while we're here, clean things up to separate the registers into different rows and add headings.
