[PATCH v3 00/20] RTAS maintenance

[Nathan Lynch via B4 Submission Endpoint <devnull+nathanl.linux.ibm.com@kernel.org>]

Proposed changes for the RTAS subsystem and client code.

Fixes that are subject to backporting are at the front of the queue.
The rest of the queue is roughly ordered with respect to maturity:
i.e. patches that have already garnered some review and discussion
precede newer, more experimental changes.

Major features:

* Static tracepoints around RTAS entry/exit.
* An allocator for work area buffers.
* A new client of the work area allocator in the form of a
  higher-level API for PAPR system parameter retrieval.
* Constant-time symbolic RTAS function token lookups.

Tested with ppc64le in PowerVM LPARs and QEMU's pseries
model. Obsolescent RTAS platforms (chrp, cell, maple) get build
coverage.

Changes in v3:

* Additions:
  - Ensure 4KB alignment for rtas_data_buf.

* Modifications to existing patches (all per Michael Ellerman)
  - Rename "ret" to "retry" in rtas_busy_delay_early().
  - Reset the stuck counter when rtas_busy_delay_early() warns.
  - Explain addition of __ref to rtas_busy_delay().
  - Spell out function index constants instead of cpp-pasting.
  - Use more conventional header inclusion guards in new heaaders.
  - Align early_work_area_buf.
  - Prevent bad arguments to rtas_work_area_alloc() with a
    compile-time assertion.
  - Discard pr_devel() from rtas-work-area.c.
  - Access work area allocator state through a single struct instead
    of a pointer indirection.
  - Initialize work area descriptors more conventionally.
  - Ensure rtas_function_token() returns RTAS_UNKNOWN_SERVICE on
    non-RTAS platforms.
  - Move rtas-work-area.c to platforms/pseries/ and initialize it on
    pseries only.

Changes in v2:

* Drop applied patches:
  - powerpc/rtas: document rtas_call()
  - powerpc/rtasd: use correct OF API for event scan rate
  - powerpc/rtas: avoid device tree lookups in rtas_os_term()
  - powerpc/rtas: avoid scheduling in rtas_os_term()
  - powerpc/pseries/eeh: use correct API for error log size
  - powerpc/rtas: clean up rtas_error_log_max initialization
  - powerpc/rtas: clean up includes
  - powerpc/rtas: define pr_fmt and convert printk call sites
  - powerpc/rtas: mandate RTAS syscall filtering

* Additions:
  - Safe early-boot fallback in rtas_busy_delay().
  - Fixes for missed RTAS function call retries in various places.
  - Remove RTAS timebase sync from pseries, previously posted
    separately as "powerpc/pseries: drop RTAS-based timebase
    synchronization":
    https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20230110042845.121792-1-nathanl@linux.ibm.com/T/#u
  - RTAS work area buffer allocator.
  - Conversion of pseries DLPAR code to work area allocator.
  - A pseries-specific PAPR system parameter API built on top of the
    RTAS work area allocator.
  - Conversion of ibm,get-system-parameter users to papr_sysparm API.
  - New rtas_function_token() API and associated conversions.

* Modifications to existing patches:
  - Convert RTAS tracepoint definitions to unconditional
    variants (TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() -> TRACE_EVENT()), dropping a
    cpu_online() check that duplicates work already done at the call
    site.
  - Skip tracepoints in unsafe contexts (real mode, CPU
    offline). (Nicholas Piggin)
  - Use bool bitfield for "banned on LE" function flag.
  - Better documentation for "banned on LE" function flag. (Andrew Donnellan)
  - Drop unnecessary cast for xa_load() key argument. (Nick Child)
