2018-12-02fsi: Add On-Chip Controller (OCC) driverEddie James
The OCC is a device embedded on a POWER processor that collects and aggregates sensor data from the processor and system. The OCC can provide the raw sensor data as well as perform thermal and power management on the system. This driver provides an atomic communications channel between a service processor (e.g. a BMC) and the OCC. The driver is dependent on the FSI SBEFIFO driver to get hardware access through the SBE to the OCC SRAM. Commands are issued to the SBE to send or fetch data to the SRAM.

2018-10-24iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functionsDavid Howells
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places. Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions. Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function. The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

2018-08-08fsi: sbefifo: Bump max command lengthBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Otherwise cronus putmem fails istep and BML fails to upload skiboot To do that, we still use our one-page command buffer for small commands for speed, and for anything bigger, with a limit of 1MB plus a page, we vmalloc a temporary buffer. The limit was chosen because Cronus will break up any data transfer into 1M chunks (the extra page is for the command header).

2018-07-27fsi: Add new central chardev supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The various FSI devices (sbefifo, occ, scom, more to come) currently use misc devices. This is problematic as the minor device space for misc is limited and there can be a lot of them. Also it limits our ability to move them to a dedicated /dev/fsi directory or to be smart about device naming and numbering. It also means we have IDAs on every single of these drivers This creates a common fsi "device_type" for the optional /dev/fsi grouping and a dev_t allocator for all FSI devices. "Legacy" devices get to use a backward compatible numbering scheme (as long as chip id <16 and there's only one copy of a given unit type per chip). A single major number and a single IDA are shared for all FSI devices. This doesn't convert the FSI device drivers to use the new scheme yet, they will be converted individually.

The Aspeed AST2x00 can contain a ColdFire v1 coprocessor which is currently unused on OpenPower systems.

In the error path of fsi_master_register(), we currently use device_unregister(). This will cause the last reference to the structure to be dropped, thus freeing the enclosing structure, which isn't what the callers want. Use device_del() instead so that we return to the caller with a refcount of 1.

2018-06-12fsi/sbefifo: Add driver for the SBE FIFOBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This driver provides an in-kernel and a user API for accessing the command FIFO of the SBE (Self Boot Engine) of the POWER9 processor, via the FSI bus. It provides an in-kernel interface to submit command and receive responses, along with a helper to locate and analyse the response status block. It's a simple synchronous submit() type API. The user interface uses the write/read interface that an earlier version of this driver already provided, however it has some specific limitations in order to keep the driver simple and avoid using up a lot of kernel memory: - The user should perform a single write() with the command and a single read() to get the response (with a buffer big enough to hold the entire response). - On a write() the command is simply "stored" into a kernel buffer, it is submitted as one operation on the subsequent read(). This allows to have the code write directly from the FIFO into the user buffer and avoid hogging the SBE between the write() and read() syscall as it's critical that the SBE be freed asap to respond to the host. An extra write() will simply replace the previously written command. - A write of a single 4 bytes containing the value 0x52534554 in big endian will trigger a reset request. No read is necessary, the write() call will return when the reset has been acknowledged or times out. - The command is limited to 4K bytes.

2018-06-12fsi/fsi-master-gpio: Implement CRC error recoveryBenjamin Herrenschmidt

2018-06-12fsi/fsi-master-gpio: Delay sampling of FSI data inputBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Most SoC GPIO implementations, including the Aspeed one, have synchronizers on the GPIO inputs. This means that the value read from a GPIO is a couple of clocks old, from whatever clock source feeds those synchronizers. In practice, this means that in no-delay mode, we are using a value that can potentially be a bit too old and too close to the clock edge establishing the data on the other side of the link. The voltage converters we use on some systems make this worse and sensitive to things like voltage fluctuations etc... This is, we believe, the cause of occasional CRC errors encountered during heavy activity on the LPC bus. This is fixed by introducing a dummy GPIO read before the actual data read. It slows down SBEFIFO by about 15% (less than any delay primitive) and the end result is so far solid.
