Finn Thain 20e07af71f powerpc: Adopt nvram module for PPC64
Adopt nvram module to reduce code duplication. This means CONFIG_NVRAM
becomes available to PPC64 builds. Previously it was only available to
PPC32 builds because it depended on CONFIG_GENERIC_NVRAM.

The IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl as implemented on PPC64 validates the
offset returned by pmac_get_partition(). Do the same in the nvram module.

Note that the old PPC32 generic_nvram module lacked this test.
So when CONFIG_PPC32 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC, the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl
would have returned 0 (always). But when CONFIG_PPC64 && CONFIG_PPC_PMAC,
the IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl would have returned -1 (which is -EPERM)
when the requested partition was not found.

With this patch, the result is now -EINVAL on both PPC32 and PPC64 when
the requested PowerMac NVRAM partition is not found. This is a userspace-
visible change, in the non-existent partition case, which would be in
an error path for an IOC_NVRAM_GET_OFFSET ioctl syscall.

Christophe Leroy c959988118 powerpc/64: Fix strncpy() related build failures with GCC 8.1
GCC 8.1 warns about possible string truncation:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/nvram_64.c:1042:2: error: 'strncpy' specified
  bound 12 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(new_part->header.name, name, 12);

  output truncated before terminating nul copying 8 bytes from a

    strncpy((char *)&n, text, 8);

Fix it by using memcpy(). To make that safe we need to ensure the
destination is pre-zeroed. Use kzalloc() in the nvram code and
initialise the u64 to zero in the ps3 code.

After commit c950fd6f20 kernel registers pstore write based on flag set.
Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for
powerpc architecture. On panic, kernel doesn't write message to
/fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all).

This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting

Geliang Tang 8cfc8ddc99 pstore: add lzo/lz4 compression support
Like zlib compression in pstore, this patch added lzo and lz4
compression support so that users can have more options and better
compression ratio.

The original code treats the compressed data together with the
uncompressed ECC correction notice by using zlib decompress. The
ECC correction notice is missing in the decompression process. The
treatment also makes lzo and lz4 not working. So I treat them
separately by using pstore_decompress() to treat the compressed
data, and memcpy() to treat the uncompressed ECC correction notice.

Paul Gortmaker c0c523897d powerpc: make kernel/nvram_64.c explicitly non-modular
The Makefile/Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

obj-$(CONFIG_PPC64)             += setup_64.o sys_ppc32.o \
                                   signal_64.o ptrace32.o \
                                   paca.o nvram_64.o firmware.o

arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype:config PPC64
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype: bool "64-bit kernel"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.

We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag since that information is already
contained at the top of the file in the comments.

Hari Bathini f7618299b4 powerpc/powernv: Add pstore support on powernv
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.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt cef0d5ad62 powerpc/nvram: Completely clear a new partition
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.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 36673307ae powerpc/nvram: nvram_create_partitions() now uses bytes
This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes
rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally

The size passed is also the data size (ie. doesn't include the
header anymore).

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 4e7c77a385 powerpc/nvram: More flexible nvram_create_partition()
Replace nvram_create_os_partition() with a variant that takes
the partition name, signature and size as arguments.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 74d51d0298 powerpc/nvram: Move things out of asm/nvram.h
This moves a bunch of definitions out of asm/nvram.h to the files
that use them or just outright remove completely unused stuff.

We leave the partition signatures definitions, they will be useful

Thomas Gleixner 3b03fecd12 powerpc: Use unlocked ioctl in nvram_64
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.

Thomas Gleixner fd62c6c448 powerpc/nvram_64: Check nvram_error_log_index in nvram_clear_error_log()
nvram_clear_error_log() calls ppc_md.nvram_write() even when
nvram_error_log_index is -1 (invalid). The nvram_write() function does
not check for a negative offset.

Check nvram_error_log_index as the other nvram log functions do.

Linas Vepstas 79c0108d1b [POWERPC] pseries: Fix jumbled no_logging flag
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.
