Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/dg-gitlab/tags/ppc-for-6.1-20210709' into staging
ppc patch queue 2021-07-09 Here's a (probably) final pull request before the qemu-6.1 soft freeze. Includes: * Implementation of the new H_RPT_INVALIDATE hypercall * Virtual Open Firmware for pSeries and pegasos2 machine types. This is an experimental minimal Open Firmware implementation which works by delegating nearly everything to qemu itself via a special hypercall. * A number of cleanups to the ppc soft MMU code * Fix to handling of two-level radix mode translations for the powernv machine type * Update the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS call with newly defined bits. This will allow more flexible handling of possible future CPU Spectre-like flaws * Correctly treat mtmsrd as an illegal instruction on BookE cpus * Firmware update for the ppce500 machine type # gpg: Signature made Fri 09 Jul 2021 06:16:42 BST # gpg: using RSA key 75F46586AE61A66CC44E87DC6C38CACA20D9B392 # gpg: Good signature from "David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>" [full] # gpg: aka "David Gibson (Red Hat) <dgibson@redhat.com>" [full] # gpg: aka "David Gibson (ozlabs.org) <dgibson@ozlabs.org>" [full] # gpg: aka "David Gibson (kernel.org) <dwg@kernel.org>" [unknown] # Primary key fingerprint: 75F4 6586 AE61 A66C C44E 87DC 6C38 CACA 20D9 B392 * remotes/dg-gitlab/tags/ppc-for-6.1-20210709: (33 commits) target/ppc: Support for H_RPT_INVALIDATE hcall linux-headers: Update spapr: Fix implementation of Open Firmware client interface target/ppc: Don't compile ppc_tlb_invalid_all without TCG ppc/pegasos2: Implement some RTAS functions with VOF ppc/pegasos2: Fix use of && instead of & ppc/pegasos2: Use Virtual Open Firmware as firmware replacement target/ppc/spapr: Update H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS L1D cache flush bits target/ppc: Allow virtual hypervisor on CPU without HV ppc/pegasos2: Introduce Pegasos2MachineState structure target/ppc: mtmsrd is an illegal instruction on BookE spapr: Implement Open Firmware client interface docs/system: ppc: Update ppce500 documentation with eTSEC support roms/u-boot: Bump ppce500 u-boot to v2021.07 to add eTSEC support target/ppc: change ppc_hash32_xlate to use mmu_idx target/ppc: introduce mmu-books.h target/ppc: changed ppc_hash64_xlate to use mmu_idx target/ppc: fix address translation bug for radix mmus target/ppc: Fix compilation with DEBUG_BATS debug option target/ppc: Fix compilation with FLUSH_ALL_TLBS debug option ...
