Add skeleton to handle "ibm,configure-kernel-dump" rtas call in QEMU,
including register, unregister and invalidate commands.
The register just verifies the structure of the fadump memory structure
passed by kernel, and set fadump_registered in spapr state to true.
Verify basic details mandated by the PAPR, such as number of
inputs/output, and add handling for the three fadump commands:
regiser/unregister/invalidate.
The checks are based on the table in following requirement in PAPR v2.13:
"R1–7.3.30–1. For the Configure Platform Assisted Kernel Dump option ..."
Relevant section for the register command in PAPR is:
Section 7.3.30: "ibm,configure-kernel-dump RTAS call" (PAPR v2.13)
Note: Any modifications made by the kernel to the fadump memory
structure after the 'ibm,configure-kernel-dump' RTAS call returns will
not be reflected in QEMU, as QEMU retains the fadump memory structure
that was provided during fadump registration.
The kernel must unregister and re-register fadump to apply any changes
to the fadump memory structure.

Seems like you forgot to update the above comment.

According to PAPR:
R1–7.3.30–3. When the platform receives an ibm,os-term RTAS call, or
on a system reset without an ibm,nmi-interlock RTAS call, if the
platform has a dump structure registered through the
ibm,configure-kernel-dump call, the platform must process each
registered kernel dump section as required and, when available,
present the dump structure information to the operating system
through the “ibm,kernel-dump” property, updated with status for each
dump section, until the dump has been invalidated through the
ibm,configure-kernel-dump RTAS call.
If Fadump has been registered, trigger an Fadump boot (memory preserving
boot), if QEMU recieves a 'ibm,os-term' rtas call.
Implementing the fadump boot as:
* pause all vcpus (will need to save registers later)
* preserve memory regions specified by fadump (will be implemented
in future)
* do a memory preserving reboot (GUEST_RESET in QEMU doesn't clear
the memory)
Memory regions registered by fadump will be handled in a later patch.
Note: Preserving memory regions is not implemented yet so on an
"ibm,os-term" call will just trigger a reboot in QEMU if fadump is
registered, and the second kernel will boot as a normal boot (not
fadump boot)

While the first kernel boots, it registers memory regions for fadump
such as:
* CPU state data (has to be populated by the platform)
* HPTE state data (has to be populated by the platform)
* Real Mode Regions (platform should copy it to requested
destination addresses)
* OS defined regions (such as parameter save area)
Platform is also expected to modify the 'bytes_dumped' to the length of
data preserved/copied by platform (ideally same as the source length
passed by kernel).
The kernel passes source address and length for the memory regions, and
a destination address to where the memory is to be copied.
Implement the preserving/copying of the Real Mode Regions and the
Parameter Save Area in QEMU Pseries
The regions are copied in chunks instead of copying all at once.

Kernel expects CPU states/register states in the format mentioned in
"Register Save Area" in PAPR.
The platform (in our case, QEMU) saves each CPU register in the form of
an array of "register entries", the start and end of this array is
signified by "CPUSTRT" and "CPUEND" register entries respectively.
The CPUSTRT and CPUEND register entry also has 4-byte logical CPU ID,
thus storing the CPU ID corresponding to the array of register entries.
Each register, and CPUSTRT, CPUEND has a predefined identifier.
Implement calculating identifier for a given register in
'fadump_str_to_u64', which has been taken from the linux kernel
Similarly GPRs also have predefined identifiers, and a corresponding
64-bit resiter value (split into two 32-bit cells). Implement
calculation of GPR identifiers with 'fadump_gpr_id_to_u64'
PAPR has restrictions on particular order of few registers, and is
free to be in any order for other registers.
Some registers mentioned in PAPR have not been exported as they are not
implemented in QEMU / don't make sense in QEMU.
Implement saving of CPU state according to the PAPR document

Seems like converting full 64 bit CPU ID to 64 bit BE value will not
bring reg
entry in below format. Isn't it?

It will be in the same format, since even with storing 8 bytes at once,
we do a 8 byte swap on the CPU ID, thus bringing the cpu id in the
higher 4 bytes only (considering CPU ID fits in 4 bytes as ensured by
the FADUMP_CPU_ID_MASK).
So, it still follows the above format, just that it does not explicitly
use 4 byte blocks.
This is also consistent with how the Linux kernel reads this field:
/* Lower 4 bytes of reg_value contains logical cpu id */
cpu = (be64_to_cpu(reg_entry->reg_value) &
RTAS_FADUMP_CPU_ID_MASK);

Yes, it follows the format since even though we use 8 bytes, but
swapping the 8 bytes at a time, brings the lower 4 bytes of 'vcpu_id'
to the higher 4 bytes after a 8 byte swap, which is where the CPU ID
should be according to the format.
It is also consistent with how the Linux kernel reads this field:
cpu = (be64_to_cpu(reg_entry->reg_value) &
RTAS_FADUMP_CPU_ID_MASK);

Platform (ie. QEMU) is expected to pass few device tree properties for
details for fadump:
* "ibm,configure-kernel-dump-sizes": Space required to store dump data
for firmware provided dump sections (ie. CPU & HPTE regions)
* "ibm,configure-kernel-dump-version": Versions of fadump supported
Pass the above device tree nodes so that kernel can reserve sufficient
space for preserving the CPU state data

With all support in place for preserving memory regions, enable fadump by
exporting the "ibm,kernel-dump" property in the device tree, representing
the fadump dump information, in case of a crash.
Currently "ibm,configure-kernel-dump" RTAS call is already registered,
which tells the kernel that the platform (QEMU) supports fadump.
Now, in case of a crash, if fadump was registered, we also pass
"ibm,kernel-dump" in device tree, which tells the kernel that the fadump
dump is active.
Pass "fadump=on" to enable Linux to use firmware assisted dump.
Logs of a linux boot with firmware assisted dump:

Add testcases for testing fadump with PSeries and PSeries+KVM
combinations
It tests if fadump is successfully detected and registered in the first
kernel boot. Then crashes the kernel, and verifies whether we have a
/proc/vmcore in the 2nd boot
Also introduce 'wait_for_regex_console_pattern' to check for cases where
there is a single success message, but can have multiple failure
messages.
This is particularly useful for cases such as fadump, where the
success message is
"Reserved 1024MB ... successfully"
But at the same point, it can fail with multiple errors such as
"Not supported" or "Allocation failed"
'wait_for_regex_console_pattern' also has a timeout, for cases when we
know the success/failure should appear in a short amount of time,
instead of waiting for the much longer test timeout, such as kernels
with support of fadump will print the success/failure in earlyboot of
the kernel, while kernel without support of fadump won't print anything
for long time, and without a timeout the testcase keeps waiting till
longer test timeout

PowerNV also can be tested with this, will enable PowerNV tests after
MPIPL patches go in
