Mauro Carvalho Chehab d67297ad34 docs: kdump: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert kdump documentation to ReST and add it to the
user faced manual, as the documents are mainly focused on
sysadmins that would be enabling kdump.

Note: the vmcoreinfo.rst has one very long title on one of its
sub-sections:

	PG_lru|PG_private|PG_swapcache|PG_swapbacked|PG_slab|PG_hwpoision|PG_head_mask|PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_buddy)|PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_offline)

I opted to break this one, into two entries with the same content,
in order to make it easier to display after being parsed in html and PDF.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
AXI master interface and an L2 cache.
If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors
and is unable to accept a certain write via this interface, it will
not progress on read data presented on the read data channel and the
system can deadlock.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI
master interface and an L2 cache.
Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction
to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address
on the AMBA 5 CHI interface, which can cause data corruption if the
interconnect reorders the two transactions.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.

select ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected
to a coherent interconnect.
If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for
write instruction at the same time as a processor in another
cluster is executing a cache maintenance operation to the same
address, then this erratum might cause a clean cache line to be
incorrectly marked as dirty.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this option does not necessarily enable the
workaround, as it depends on the alternative framework, which will
only patch the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 819472 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p1 with an L2 cache
present when it is connected to a coherent interconnect.
If the processor is executing a load and store exclusive sequence at
the same time as a processor in another cluster is executing a cache
maintenance operation to the same address, then this erratum might
cause data corruption.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.

default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 832075 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
instructions to Write-Back memory are mixed with Device loads.
The workaround is to promote device loads to use Load-Acquire
semantics.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

bool "Cortex-A57: 834220: Stage 2 translation fault might be incorrectly reported in presence of a Stage 1 fault"
depends on KVM
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 845719 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.
When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on an affected Cortex-A53
part, a load at EL0 from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32
bits of the virtual address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1
might return incorrect data.
The workaround is to write the contextidr_el1 register on exception
return to a 32-bit task.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.

select ARM64_MODULE_PLTS if MODULES
help
This option links the kernel with '--fix-cortex-a53-843419' and
enables PLT support to replace certain ADRP instructions, which can
cause subsequent memory accesses to use an incorrect address on
Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p4.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_1024718
bool "Cortex-A55: 1024718: Update of DBM/AP bits without break before make might result in incorrect update"
default y
help
This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A55 Erratum 1024718.
Affected Cortex-A55 cores (r0p0, r0p1, r1p0) could cause incorrect
update of the hardware dirty bit when the DBM/AP bits are updated
without a break-before-make. The workaround is to disable the usage
of hardware DBM locally on the affected cores. CPUs not affected by
this erratum will continue to use the feature.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_1418040
bool "Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1: MRC read following MRRC read of specific Generic Timer in AArch32 might give incorrect result"

This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1
errata 1188873 and 1418040.
Affected Cortex-A76/Neoverse-N1 cores (r0p0 to r3p1) could
cause register corruption when accessing the timer registers
from AArch32 userspace.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_1165522
bool "Cortex-A76: Speculative AT instruction using out-of-context translation regime could cause subsequent request to generate an incorrect translation"

help
This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A76 erratum 1165522.
Affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0, r1p0, r2p0) could end-up with
corrupted TLBs by speculating an AT instruction during a guest
context switch.

select ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI
help
This option adds a workaround for ARM Cortex-A76 erratum 1286807.
On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p0), if a virtual
address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being
accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual
address to a new physical page using the recommended
break-before-make sequence, then under very rare circumstances
TLBI+DSB completes before a read using the translation being
invalidated has been observed by other observers. The
workaround repeats the TLBI+DSB operation.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_1463225
bool "Cortex-A76: Software Step might prevent interrupt recognition"
default y
help
This option adds a workaround for Arm Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225.
On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p1), software stepping
of a system call instruction (SVC) can prevent recognition of
subsequent interrupts when software stepping is disabled in the
exception handler of the system call and either kernel debugging
is enabled or VHE is in use.
Work around the erratum by triggering a dummy step exception
when handling a system call from a task that is being stepped
in a VHE configuration of the kernel.
If unsure, say Y.

If unsure, say Y.
config CAVIUM_ERRATUM_27456
bool "Cavium erratum 27456: Broadcast TLBI instructions may cause icache corruption"
default y
help
On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.1 parts, broadcast TLBI
instructions may cause the icache to become corrupted if it
contains data for a non-current ASID. The fix is to
invalidate the icache when changing the mm context.
If unsure, say Y.
config CAVIUM_ERRATUM_30115
bool "Cavium erratum 30115: Guest may disable interrupts in host"
default y
help
On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.2, T81 pass 1.0 through
1.2, and T83 Pass 1.0, KVM guest execution may disable
interrupts in host. Trapping both GICv3 group-0 and group-1
accesses sidesteps the issue.
If unsure, say Y.
config QCOM_FALKOR_ERRATUM_1003
bool "Falkor E1003: Incorrect translation due to ASID change"
default y
help
On Falkor v1, an incorrect ASID may be cached in the TLB when ASID
and BADDR are changed together in TTBRx_EL1. Since we keep the ASID
in TTBR1_EL1, this situation only occurs in the entry trampoline and
then only for entries in the walk cache, since the leaf translation
is unchanged. Work around the erratum by invalidating the walk cache
entries for the trampoline before entering the kernel proper.

If unsure, say Y.
config QCOM_FALKOR_ERRATUM_E1041
bool "Falkor E1041: Speculative instruction fetches might cause errant memory access"
default y
help
Falkor CPU may speculatively fetch instructions from an improper
memory location when MMU translation is changed from SCTLR_ELn[M]=1
to SCTLR_ELn[M]=0. Prefix an ISB instruction to fix the problem.
If unsure, say Y.
config FUJITSU_ERRATUM_010001
bool "Fujitsu-A64FX erratum E#010001: Undefined fault may occur wrongly"
default y
help
This option adds a workaround for Fujitsu-A64FX erratum E#010001.
On some variants of the Fujitsu-A64FX cores ver(1.0, 1.1), memory
accesses may cause undefined fault (Data abort, DFSC=0b111111).
This fault occurs under a specific hardware condition when a
load/store instruction performs an address translation using:
case-1 TTBR0_EL1 with TCR_EL1.NFD0 == 1.
case-2 TTBR0_EL2 with TCR_EL2.NFD0 == 1.
case-3 TTBR1_EL1 with TCR_EL1.NFD1 == 1.
case-4 TTBR1_EL2 with TCR_EL2.NFD1 == 1.
The workaround is to ensure these bits are clear in TCR_ELx.
The workaround only affects the Fujitsu-A64FX.
If unsure, say Y.

To enable use of this extension on CPUs that implement it, say Y.
On CPUs that support the SVE2 extensions, this option will enable

Note that for architectural reasons, firmware _must_ implement SVE

* the AArch64 boot wrapper since commit 5e1261e08abf
("bootwrapper: SVE: Enable SVE for EL2 and below").
For other firmware implementations, consult the firmware documentation

If you need the kernel to boot on SVE-capable hardware with broken
firmware, you may need to say N here until you get your firmware
fixed. Otherwise, you may experience firmware panics or lockups when
booting the kernel. If unsure and you are not observing these
symptoms, you should assume that it is safe to say Y.
CPUs that support SVE are architecturally required to support the
