powerpc/pseries: Enforce hcall result buffer validity and size

plpar_hcall(), plpar_hcall9(), and related functions expect callers to
provide valid result buffers of certain minimum size. Currently this
is communicated only through comments in the code and the compiler has
no idea.

For example, if I write a bug like this:

long retbuf[PLPAR_HCALL_BUFSIZE]; // should be PLPAR_HCALL9_BUFSIZE
plpar_hcall9(H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW, retbuf, ...);

This compiles with no diagnostics emitted, but likely results in stack
corruption at runtime when plpar_hcall9() stores results past the end
of the array. (To be clear this is a contrived example and I have not
found a real instance yet.)

To make this class of error less likely, we can use explicitly-sized
array parameters instead of pointers in the declarations for the hcall
APIs. When compiled with -Warray-bounds[1], the code above now
provokes a diagnostic like this:

error: array argument is too small;
is of size 32, callee requires at least 72 [-Werror,-Warray-bounds]
60 | plpar_hcall9(H_ALLOCATE_VAS_WINDOW, retbuf,
| ^ ~~~~~~

[1] Enabled for LLVM builds but not GCC for now. See commit
0da6e5fd6c37 ("gcc: disable '-Warray-bounds' for gcc-13 too") and
related changes.

KVM: PPC: Add support for nestedv2 guests

A series of hcalls have been added to the PAPR which allow a regular
guest partition to create and manage guest partitions of its own. KVM
already had an interface that allowed this on powernv platforms. This
existing interface will now be called "nestedv1". The newly added PAPR
interface will be called "nestedv2". PHYP will support the nestedv2
interface. At this time the host side of the nestedv2 interface has not
been implemented on powernv but there is no technical reason why it
could not be added.

The nestedv1 interface is still supported.

Add support to KVM to utilize these hcalls to enable running nested
guests as a pseries guest on PHYP.

Overview of the new hcall usage:

- L1 and L0 negotiate capabilities with
H_GUEST_{G,S}ET_CAPABILITIES()

- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 with
H_GUEST_CREATE() and receives a handle to use in future hcalls

- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 vCPU with
H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU()

- L1 sets up the L2 using H_GUEST_SET and the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input buffer

- L1 requests the L0 runs the L2 vCPU using H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN()

- L2 returns to L1 with an exit reason and L1 reads the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN output buffer populated by the L0

- L1 handles the exit using H_GET_STATE if necessary

- L1 reruns L2 vCPU with H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN

- L1 frees the L2 in the L0 with H_GUEST_DELETE()

Support for the new API is determined by trying
H_GUEST_GET_CAPABILITIES. On a successful return, use the nestedv2
interface.

Use the vcpu register state setters for tracking modified guest state
elements and copy the thread wide values into the H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input
buffer immediately before running a L2. The guest wide
elements can not be added to the input buffer so send them with a
separate H_GUEST_SET call if necessary.

Make the vcpu register getter load the corresponding value from the real
host with H_GUEST_GET. To avoid unnecessarily calling H_GUEST_GET, track
which values have already been loaded between H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN calls. If
an element is present in the H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN output buffer it also does
not need to be loaded again.

The Platform Keystore provides a signed update interface which can be used
to create, replace or append to certain variables in the PKS in a secure
fashion, with the hypervisor requiring that the update be signed using the
Platform Key.

Implement an interface to the H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE hcall in the plpks
driver to allow signed updates to PKS objects.

(The plpks driver doesn't need to do any cryptography or otherwise handle
the actual signed variable contents - that will be handled by userspace
tooling.)

powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h

We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc:
Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C
functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse
warnings about missing prototypes.

A few months later Nick added a different use case in
commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the
inverse of our original usage.

Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both
reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all.

Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep
only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly.

For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it
into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o
This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h
or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c

powerpc/pseries: Interface to represent PAPR firmware attributes

Adds a syscall interface to represent the energy and frequency related
PAPR attributes on the system using the new H_CALL
"H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO".

H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL was previously responsible for exporting this
information in the lparcfg, however the H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL
will be deprecated P10 onwards.

The H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO H_CALL is of the following call format:
hcall(
uint64 H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO, // Get energy scale info
uint64 flags, // Per the flag request
uint64 firstAttributeId,// The attribute id
uint64 bufferAddress, // Guest physical address of the output buffer
uint64 bufferSize // The size in bytes of the output buffer
);
As specified in PAPR+ v2.11, section 14.14.3.

This H_CALL can query either all the attributes at once with
firstAttributeId = 0, flags = 0 as well as query only one attribute
at a time with firstAttributeId = id, flags = 1.

The output buffer consists of the following
1. number of attributes - 8 bytes
2. array offset to the data location - 8 bytes
3. version info - 1 byte
4. A data array of size num attributes, which contains the following:
a. attribute ID - 8 bytes
b. attribute value in number - 8 bytes
c. attribute name in string - 64 bytes
d. attribute value in string - 64 bytes

The new H_CALL exports information in direct string value format, hence
a new interface has been introduced in
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info to export this information to
userspace so that the firmware can add new values without the need for
the kernel to be changed.

The H_CALL returns the name, numeric value and string value (if exists)

The format of exposing the sysfs information is as follows:
/sys/firmware/papr/energy_scale_info/
|-- <id>/
|-- desc
|-- value
|-- value_desc (if exists)
|-- <id>/
|-- desc
|-- value
|-- value_desc (if exists)
...

The energy information that is exported is useful for userspace tools
such as powerpc-utils. Currently these tools infer the
"power_mode_data" value in the lparcfg, which in turn is obtained from
the to be deprecated H_GET_EM_PARMS H_CALL.

On future platforms, such userspace utilities will have to look at the
data returned from the new H_CALL being populated in this new sysfs
interface and report this information directly without the need of
interpretation.

powerpc/pseries: Fix hcall tracing recursion in pv queued spinlocks

The paravit queued spinlock slow path adds itself to the queue then
calls pv_wait to wait for the lock to become free. This is implemented
by calling H_CONFER to donate cycles.

When hcall tracing is enabled, this H_CONFER call can lead to a spin
lock being taken in the tracing code, which will result in the lock to
be taken again, which will also go to the slow path because it queues
behind itself and so won't ever make progress.

An example trace of a deadlock:

__pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath
trace_clock_global
ring_buffer_lock_reserve
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve
trace_event_buffer_reserve
trace_event_raw_event_hcall_exit

trace_event_buffer_reserve
trace_event_raw_event_rcu_dyntick
rcu_irq_exit
irq_exit
__do_irq
call_do_irq
do_IRQ
hardware_interrupt_common_virt

Fix this by introducing plpar_hcall_norets_notrace(), and using that to
make SPLPAR virtual processor dispatching hcalls by the paravirt
spinlock code.

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Allow nested guest creation when L0 hv_guest_state > L1

On powerpc, L1 hypervisor takes help of L0 using H_ENTER_NESTED
hcall to load L2 guest state in cpu. L1 hypervisor prepares the
L2 state in struct hv_guest_state and passes a pointer to it via
hcall. Using that pointer, L0 reads/writes that state directly
from/to L1 memory. Thus L0 must be aware of hv_guest_state layout
of L1. Currently it uses version field to achieve this. i.e. If
L0 hv_guest_state.version != L1 hv_guest_state.version, L0 won't
allow nested kvm guest.

This restriction can be loosened up a bit. L0 can be taught to
understand older layout of hv_guest_state, if we restrict the
new members to be added only at the end, i.e. we can allow
nested guest even when L0 hv_guest_state.version > L1

powerpc/perf: consolidate GPCI hcall structs into asm/hvcall.h

The H_GetPerformanceCounterInfo (GPCI) hypercall input/output structs are
useful to modules outside of perf/, so move them into asm/hvcall.h to live
alongside the other powerpc hypercall structs.

Leave the perf-specific GPCI stuff in perf/hv-gpci.h.
