2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document. PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend (Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches" for this document: Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/5.Posting.rst Fixes: 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bffb91e4a63d41bf5fae1c23e1e8b3bba0b8806.1584716446.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2020-01-17KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Implement H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcallSukadev Bhattiprolu
Implement the H_SVM_INIT_ABORT hcall which the Ultravisor can use to abort an SVM after it has issued the H_SVM_INIT_START and before the H_SVM_INIT_DONE hcalls. This hcall could be used when Ultravisor encounters security violations or other errors when starting an SVM. Note that this hcall is different from UV_SVM_TERMINATE ucall which is used by HV to terminate/cleanup an VM that has becore secure. The H_SVM_INIT_ABORT basically undoes operations that were done since the H_SVM_INIT_START hcall - i.e page-out all the VM pages back to normal memory, and terminate the SVM. (If we do not bring the pages back to normal memory, the text/data of the VM would be stuck in secure memory and since the SVM did not go secure, its MSR_S bit will be clear and the VM wont be able to access its pages even to do a clean exit). Based on patches and discussion with Paul Mackerras, Ram Pai and Bharata Rao.

2019-09-17docs: powerpc: Add missing documentation referenceAdam Zerella
The documentation pages for 'elfnote' and 'ultravisor' are not included in the powerpc documentation index, this generates Sphinx warnings: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree Additionally, when one includes these missing doc pages, more Sphinx warnings appear. Unused footnote references, syntax highlighting and table of content ordering has been adjusted.

2019-08-30Documentation/powerpc: Ultravisor APISukadev Bhattiprolu
Protected Execution Facility (PEF) is an architectural change for POWER 9 that enables Secure Virtual Machines (SVMs). When enabled, PEF adds a new higher privileged mode, called Ultravisor mode, to POWER architecture. Along with the new mode there is new firmware called the Protected Execution Ultravisor (or Ultravisor for short). POWER 9 DD2.3 chips (PVR=0x004e1203) or greater will be PEF-capable. Attached documentation provides an overview of PEF and defines the API for various interfaces that must be implemented in the Ultravisor firmware as well as in the KVM Hypervisor. Based on input from Mike Anderson, Thiago Bauermann, Claudio Carvalho, Ben Herrenschmidt, Guerney Hunt, Paul Mackerras.
