PowerPC FW introduced HVPIPE RTAS calls such as
ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg for the user space
to exchange information with different sources such as Hardware
Management Consoles (HMC).
HVPIPE_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE is defined to use /dev/papr-hvpipe
interface for ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg
RTAS calls.
Also defined papr_hvpipe_hdr which will added in the payload
that is passed between the kernel and the user space.

that end.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around:
- The most significant change is the replacement of the old
kernel-doc script (a monstrous collection of Perl regexes that
predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is
a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more
maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx
build system.
This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the
small number of problems that turned up have been addressed,
seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script
remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.
Credit goes to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for doing all this work.

The present sbrmi module only support reporting power via hwmon.
However, AMD data center range of processors support various
system management functionality using custom protocols defined in
Advanced Platform Management Link (APML) specification.
Register a miscdevice, which creates a device /dev/sbrmiX with an IOCTL
interface for the user space to invoke the APML Mailbox protocol, which
is already defined in sbrmi_mailbox_xfer().
The APML protocols depend on a set of RMI registers. Having an IOCTL
as a single entry point will help in providing synchronization among
these protocols as multiple transactions on RMI register set may
create race condition.
Support for other protocols will be added in subsequent patches.
APML mailbox protocol returns additional error codes written by
SMU firmware in the out-bound register 0x37. These errors include,
invalid core, message not supported over platform and
others. This additional error codes can be used to provide more
details to user space.
Open-sourced and widely used https://github.com/amd/esmi_oob_library
will continue to provide user-space programmable API.

Much like device numbers that used to be assigned by LANANA (see commit
ebdf4040c1 ("Documentation: update the devices.txt documentation"),
ioctl numbers list is maintained by general kernel community nowadays
instead of contacting Michael directly as he's long stepped down from
kernel-related activity (his last LKML message was from 2003 [1] and
he's in CREDITS since the beginning of kernel's git history). Also,
patch (including one to update ioctl numbers list) submission now
follows process as described in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst rather than sending
patches directly to Linus as in the distant past.
Update the docs to reflect that.

The RTAS call ibm,physical-attestation is used to retrieve
information about the trusted boot state of the firmware and
hypervisor on the system, and also Trusted Platform Modules (TPM)
data if the system is TCG 2.0 compliant.
This RTAS interface expects the caller to define different command
structs such as RetrieveTPMLog, RetrievePlatformCertificat and etc,
in a work area with a maximum size of 4K bytes and the response
buffer will be returned in the same work area.
The current implementation of this RTAS function is in the user
space but allocation of the work area is restricted with the system
lockdown. So this patch implements this RTAS function in the kernel
and expose to the user space with open/ioctl/read interfaces.
PAPR (2.13+ 21.3 ibm,physical-attestation) defines RTAS function:
- Pass the command struct to obtain the response buffer for the
specific command.
- This RTAS function is sequence RTAS call and has to issue RTAS
call multiple times to get the complete response buffer (max 64K).
The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with the sequence 1 and
the subsequent calls with the sequence number returned from the
previous calls.
Expose these interfaces to user space with a
/dev/papr-physical-attestation character device using the following
programming model:
int devfd = open("/dev/papr-physical-attestation");
int fd = ioctl(devfd, PAPR_PHY_ATTEST_IOC_HANDLE,
struct papr_phy_attest_io_block);
- The user space defines the command struct and requests the
response for any command.
- Obtain the complete response buffer and returned the buffer as
blob to the command specific FD.
size = read(fd, buf, len);
- Can retrieve the response buffer once or multiple times until the
end of BLOB buffer.
Implemented this new kernel ABI support in librtas library for
system lockdown

ibm,platform-dump RTAS call in combination with writable mapping
/dev/mem is issued to collect platform dump from the hypervisor
and may need multiple calls to get the complete dump. The current
implementation uses rtas_platform_dump() API provided by librtas
library to issue these RTAS calls. But /dev/mem access by the
user space is prohibited under system lockdown.
The solution should be to restrict access to RTAS function in user
space and provide kernel interfaces to collect dump. This patch
adds papr-platform-dump character driver and expose standard
interfaces such as open / ioctl/ read to user space in ways that
are compatible with lockdown.
PAPR (7.3.3.4.1 ibm,platform-dump) provides a method to obtain
the complete dump:
- Each dump will be identified by ID called dump tag.
- A sequence of RTAS calls have to be issued until retrieve the
complete dump. The hypervisor expects the first RTAS call with
the sequence 0 and the subsequent calls with the sequence
number returned from the previous calls.
- The hypervisor returns "dump complete" status once the complete
dump is retrieved. But expects one more RTAS call from the
partition with the NULL buffer to invalidate dump which means
the dump will be removed in the hypervisor.
- Sequence of calls are allowed with different dump IDs at the
same time but not with the same dump ID.
Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-platform-dump
character device using the following programming model:
int devfd = open("/dev/papr-platform-dump", O_RDONLY);
int fd = ioctl(devfd,PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE, &dump_id)
- Restrict user space to access with the same dump ID.
Typically we do not expect user space requests the dump
again for the same dump ID.
char *buf = malloc(size);
length = read(fd, buf, size);
- size should be minimum 1K based on PAPR and <= 4K based
on RTAS work area size. It will be restrict to RTAS work
area size. Using 4K work area based on the current
implementation in librtas library
- Each read call issue RTAS call to get the data based on
the size requirement and returns bytes returned from the
hypervisor
- If the previous call returns dump complete status, the
next read returns 0 like EOF.
ret = ioctl(PAPR_PLATFORM_DUMP_IOC_INVALIDATE, &dump_id)
- RTAS call with NULL buffer to invalidates the dump.
The read API should use the file descriptor obtained from ioctl
based on dump ID so that gets dump contents for the corresponding
dump ID. Implemented support in librtas (rtas_platform_dump()) for
this new ABI to support system lockdown.

To issue ibm,get-indices, ibm,set-dynamic-indicator and
ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state in the user space, the RMO buffer is
allocated for the work area which is restricted under system
lockdown. So instead of user space execution, the kernel will
provide /dev/papr-indices interface to execute these RTAS calls.
The user space assigns data in papr_indices_io_block struct
depends on the specific HCALL and passes to the following ioctls:
PAPR_INDICES_IOC_GET: Use for ibm,get-indices. Returns a
get-indices handle fd to read data.
PAPR_DYNAMIC_SENSOR_IOC_GET: Use for ibm,get-dynamic-sensor-state.

Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
"fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
userspace.
Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.
This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
an appropriate subsystem.
There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
of this:
https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/
This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:
- CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
the fwctl security model
- mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
family of Smart NICs.
- AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"
