The SBE (Self Boot Engine) are on-chip microcontrollers that perform
early boot steps, as well as provide some runtime facilities (e.g.,
timer, secure register access, MPIPL). The latter facilities are
accessed mostly via a message system called SBEFIFO.
This driver provides initial emulation for the SBE runtime registers
and a very basic SBEFIFO implementation that provides the timer
command. This covers the basic SBE behaviour expected by skiboot when
booting.

The PAPR platform describes an OS environment that's presented by
a combination of a hypervisor and firmware. The features it specifies
require collaboration between the firmware and the hypervisor.
Since the beginning, the runtime component of the firmware (RTAS) has
been implemented as a 20 byte shim which simply forwards it to
a hypercall implemented in qemu. The boot time firmware component is
SLOF - but a build that's specific to qemu, and has always needed to be
updated in sync with it. Even though we've managed to limit the amount
of runtime communication we need between qemu and SLOF, there's some,
and it has become increasingly awkward to handle as we've implemented
new features.
This implements a boot time OF client interface (CI) which is
enabled by a new "x-vof" pseries machine option (stands for "Virtual Open
Firmware). When enabled, QEMU implements the custom H_OF_CLIENT hcall
which implements Open Firmware Client Interface (OF CI). This allows
using a smaller stateless firmware which does not have to manage
the device tree.
The new "vof.bin" firmware image is included with source code under
pc-bios/. It also includes RTAS blob.
This implements a handful of CI methods just to get -kernel/-initrd
working. In particular, this implements the device tree fetching and
simple memory allocator - "claim" (an OF CI memory allocator) and updates
"/memory@0/available" to report the client about available memory.
This implements changing some device tree properties which we know how
to deal with, the rest is ignored. To allow changes, this skips
fdt_pack() when x-vof=on as not packing the blob leaves some room for
appending.
In absence of SLOF, this assigns phandles to device tree nodes to make
device tree traversing work.
When x-vof=on, this adds "/chosen" every time QEMU (re)builds a tree.
This adds basic instances support which are managed by a hash map
ihandle -> [phandle].
Before the guest started, the used memory is:
0..e60 - the initial firmware
8000..10000 - stack
400000.. - kernel
3ea0000.. - initramdisk
This OF CI does not implement "interpret".
Unlike SLOF, this does not format uninitialized nvram. Instead, this
includes a disk image with pre-formatted nvram.
With this basic support, this can only boot into kernel directly.
However this is just enough for the petitboot kernel and initradmdisk to
boot from any possible source. Note this requires reasonably recent guest
kernel with:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=df5be5be8735
The immediate benefit is much faster booting time which especially
crucial with fully emulated early CPU bring up environments. Also this
may come handy when/if GRUB-in-the-userspace sees light of the day.
This separates VOF and sPAPR in a hope that VOF bits may be reused by
other POWERPC boards which do not support pSeries.
This assumes potential support for booting from QEMU backends
such as blockdev or netdev without devices/drivers used.

have been moved to spapr_softmmu.c with the functions they depend on. The
functions is_ram_address and push_sregs_to_kvm_pr are not static anymore
as functions on both spapr_hcall.c and spapr_softmmu.c depend on them.
The hypercalls h_resize_hpt_prepare and h_resize_hpt_commit have been

was moved to spapr_softmmu.c

Add new machine called pegasos2 emulating the Genesi/bPlan Pegasos II,
a PowerPC board based on the Marvell MV64361 system controller and the
VIA VT8231 integrated south bridge/superio chips. It can run Linux,
AmigaOS and a wide range of MorphOS versions. Currently a firmware ROM
image is needed to boot and only MorphOS has a video driver to produce
graphics output. Linux could work too but distros that supported this
machine don't include usual video drivers so those only run with
serial console for now.

Some upcoming POWER machines have a system called PEF (Protected
Execution Facility) which uses a small ultravisor to allow guests to
run in a way that they can't be eavesdropped by the hypervisor. The
effect is roughly similar to AMD SEV, although the mechanisms are
quite different.
Most of the work of this is done between the guest, KVM and the
ultravisor, with little need for involvement by qemu. However qemu
does need to tell KVM to allow secure VMs.
Because the availability of secure mode is a guest visible difference
which depends on having the right hardware and firmware, we don't
enable this by default. In order to run a secure guest you need to
create a "pef-guest" object and set the confidential-guest-support
property to point to it.
Note that this just *allows* secure guests, the architecture of PEF is
such that the guest still needs to talk to the ultravisor to enter
secure mode. Qemu has no direct way of knowing if the guest is in
secure mode, and certainly can't know until well after machine
creation time.
To start a PEF-capable guest, use the command line options:
-object pef-guest,id=pef0 -machine confidential-guest-support=pef0

We're going to make changes in how spapr handles all
ibm,associativity* related properties to enhance our current NUMA
support.
At this moment we have associativity code scattered all around
spapr_* files, with hardcoded values and array sizes. This
makes it harder to change any NUMA specific parameters in
the future. Having everything in the same place allows not
only for easier tuning, but also easier understanding since all
NUMA related code is on the same file.
This patch introduces a new file to gather all NUMA/associativity
handling code in spapr, spapr_numa.c. To get things started, let's
remove associativity-reference-points and max-associativity-domains
code from spapr_dt_rtas() to a new helper called spapr_numa_write_rtas_dt().
This will decouple spapr_dt_rtas() from the NUMA changes that
are going to happen in those two properties.
