In order to aid post-mortem debugging the Qualcomm platforms provide a
"memory download mode", where the boot loader will provide an interface
for custom tools to "download" the content of RAM to a host machine.
The mode is triggered by writing a magic value somewhere in RAM, that is
read in the boot code path after a warm-restart. Two mechanism for
setting this magic value are supported in modern platforms; a direct SCM
call to enable the mode or through a secure io write of a magic value.
In order for a normal reboot not to trigger "download mode" the magic
must be cleared during a clean reboot.
Download mode has to be enabled by including qcom_scm.download_mode=1 on
the command line.

Merge "ARM: keystone: add TI SCI protocol support for v4.10" from
Tero Kristo:
[description taken from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TISCI
Texas Instruments' Keystone generation System on Chips (SoC) starting
with 66AK2G02, now include a dedicated SoC System Control entity called
PMMC(Power Management Micro Controller) in line with ARM architecture
recommendations. The function of this module is to integrate all system
operations in a centralized location. Communication with the SoC System
Control entity from various processing units like ARM/DSP occurs over
Message Manager hardware block.
...
Texas Instruments' System Control Interface defines the communication
protocol between various processing entities to the System Control Entity
on TI SoCs. This is a set of message formats and sequence of operations
required to communicate and get system services processed from System
Control entity in the SoC.]
* 'for-4.10-ti-sci-base' of https://github.com/t-kristo/linux-pm:
firmware: ti_sci: Add support for reboot core service
firmware: ti_sci: Add support for Clock control
firmware: ti_sci: Add support for Device control
firmware: Add basic support for TI System Control Interface (TI-SCI) protocol
Documentation: Add support for TI System Control Interface (TI-SCI) protocol
On arm and arm64, PSCI is one of the possible firmware interfaces
used for power management. This includes both turning CPUs on and off,
and suspending them (entering idle states).
This patch adds a PSCI checker module that enables basic testing of
PSCI operations during startup. There are two main tests: CPU
hotplugging and suspending.
In the hotplug tests, the hotplug API is used to turn off and on again
all CPUs in the system, and then all CPUs in each cluster, checking
the consistency of the return codes.
In the suspend tests, a high-priority thread is created on each core
and uses low-level cpuidle functionalities to enter suspend, in all
the possible states and multiple times. This should allow a maximum
number of CPUs to enter the same sleep state at the same or slightly
different time.
In essence, the suspend tests use a principle similar to that of the
intel_powerclamp driver (drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c), but the
threads are only kept for the duration of the test (they are already
gone when userspace is started) and it does not require to stop/start
the tick.
While in theory power management PSCI functions (CPU_{ON,OFF,SUSPEND})
could be directly called, this proved too difficult as it would imply
the duplication of all the logic used by the kernel to allow for a
clean shutdown/bringup/suspend of the CPU (the deepest sleep states
implying potentially the shutdown of the CPU).
Note that this file cannot be compiled as a loadable module, since it
uses a number of non-exported identifiers (essentially for
PSCI-specific checks and direct use of cpuidle) and relies on the
absence of userspace to avoid races when calling hotplug and cpuidle
functions.
For now at least, CONFIG_PSCI_CHECKER is mutually exclusive with
CONFIG_TORTURE_TEST, because torture tests may also use hotplug and
cause false positives in the hotplug tests.

The Inter-VM communication (IVC) is a communication protocol which is
designed for interprocessor communication (IPC) or the communication
between the hypervisor and the virtual machine with a guest OS.
Message channels are used to communicate between processors. They are
backed by DRAM or SRAM, so care must be taken to maintain coherence of
data.
The IVC library maintains memory-based descriptors for the transmission
and reception channels as well as the data coherence of the counter and
payload. Clients, such as the driver for the BPMP firmware, can use the
library to exchange messages with remote processors.

Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.
The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.
Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.
Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

This patch makes a couple of changes to the SMBIOS/DMI scanning
code so it can be used on other archs (such as ARM and arm64):
(a) wrap the calls to ioremap()/iounmap(), this allows the use of a
flavor of ioremap() more suitable for random unaligned access;
(b) allow the non-EFI fallback probe into hardcoded physical address
0xF0000 to be disabled.

To avoid build problems and breaking dependencies between ACPI header
files, <acpi/acpi.h> should not be included directly by code outside
of the ACPI core subsystem, but this is done by the ACPI iSCSI
Boot Firmware code.
The iBFT specification doesn't mention whether or not it can appear
on a non-ACPI platform, but is says that ACPI 3.0b defines the
mechanism. The current CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND code doesn't use the
ACPI tables API to locate the table, so it doesn't rely on CONFIG_ACPI
directly.
However, since iBFT is is an ACPI-based mechanism (please refer to
the documentation link below for more information), it should be
correct to make CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND depend on CONFIG_ACPI (even
though the table location can be implemented without using ACPI
tables API).
After that change, include/linux/iscsi_ibft.h can be modified to
include <linux/acpi.h> instead of <acpi/acpi.h> as appropriate.

efivars.c has grown far too large and needs to be divided up. Create a
new directory and move the persistence storage code to efi-pstore.c now
that it uses the new efivar API. This helps us to greatly reduce the
size of efivars.c and paves the way for moving other code out of
efivars.c.
Note that because CONFIG_EFI_VARS can be built as a module efi-pstore
must also include support for building as a module.

We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to
UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to
address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid
writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a
wide variety of hardware.
Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data
source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its
use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option,
CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default
value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

It has been pointed out previously, that the firmware subsystem is not the right
place for the SigmaDSP firmware loader. Furthermore the SigmaDSP is currently
only used in audio products and we are aiming for better integration into the
ASoC framework in the future, with support for ALSA controls for firmware
parameters and support dynamic power management as well. So the natural choice
for the SigmaDSP firmware loader is the ASoC subsystem.

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.
Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.
This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().

Introduce a new module "dmi-sysfs" that exports the broken out entries
of the DMI table through sysfs.
Entries are enumerated via dmi_walk() on module load, and are populated
as kobjects rooted at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries.
Entries are named "<type>-<instance>", where:
<type> : is the type of the entry, and
<instance> : is the ordinal count within the DMI table of that
entry type. This instance is used in lieu the DMI
entry's handle as no assurances are made by the kernel
that handles are unique.
All entries export the following attributes:
length : The length of the formatted portion of the entry
handle : The handle given to this entry by the firmware
raw : The raw bytes of the entire entry, including the
formatted portion, the unformatted (strings) portion,
and the two terminating nul characters.
type : The DMI entry type
instance : The ordinal instance of this entry given its type.
position : The position ordinal of the entry within the table in
its entirety.
Entries in dmi-sysfs are kobject backed members called "struct
dmi_sysfs_entry" and belong to dmi_kset. They are threaded through
entry_list (protected by entry_list_lock) so that we can find them at
cleanup time.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Not all iscsi drivers support ibft. For drivers like be2iscsi
that do not but are bootable through a vendor firmware specific
format/process this patch moves the sysfs interface from the ibft code
to a lib module. This then allows userspace tools to search for iscsi boot
info in a common place and in a common format.
ibft iscsi boot info is exported in the same place as it was
before: /sys/firmware/ibft.
vendor/fw boot info gets export in /sys/firmware/iscsi_bootX, where X is the
scsi host number of the HBA. Underneath these parent dirs, the
target, ethernet, and initiator dirs are the same as they were before.

This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start (hex number)
end (hex number)
type (string)
... /1/start
end
type
With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).
--------- 8< --------------------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
start=$(cat $dir/start)
end=$(cat $dir/end)
type=$(cat $dir/type)
printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done
--------- >8 --------------------------
That patch only provides the needed interface:
1. The sysfs interface.
2. The structure and enumeration definition.
3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
example) to add the contents to the interface.
If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.
The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:
- use the original memory map for rebooting,
- use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
case that should only represent the memory of the system.
The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

Add /sysfs/firmware/ibft/[initiator|targetX|ethernetX] directories along with
text properties which export the the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT)
structure.
What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table? It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to
extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they
can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target. Currently the iSCSI
information is hard-coded in the initrd. The /sysfs entries are read-only
one-name-and-value fields.

The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux
kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other
drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system
identification information of the BIOS.
Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop
drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads
successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to
automatically load matching drivers on the right machines.
Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been
parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device
/sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are
available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds
attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for
writing udev rules.
This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to
userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI
info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model
identification and good udev integration.
To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should
export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*");
These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically
just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all
potentially bad characters stripped.
Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules
and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS
lines.
Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds
support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are
very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds
working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.
I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch
for posting it on lkml.
