PowerISA 3.0 makes several changes to not only the format of the HPT but
also the behavior surrounding it. For instance, TLBIE no longer requires
serialization. Removing this lock cuts buildworld time in half on a
18-core/72-thread POWER9 system, demonstrating that this lock is highly
contended on such a system.
There was odd behavior observed trying to make this change in a
backwards-compatible manner in moea64_native.c, so the best option was to
fully split it, and largely revert the original changes adding POWER9
support to the original file.
Suggested by: nwhitehorn
On very large memory systems 'size' can become 2GB or larger, resulting in a
negative value being formatted. Also, moea64_pteg_count is already a long, so
format it as such.
There is a type promotion that transform count = -1 into a unsigned int causing
the default TCE SEG SIZE not being returned on a Boston POWER9 machine.
This machine does not have the 'ibm,supported-tce-sizes' entries, thus, count
is set to -1, and the function continue to execute instead of returning.

Recently a change was made which broke loading 32-bit binaries on powerpc64,
with an assertion in ld-elf32.so.1:
ld-elf32.so.1: assert failed:
/usr/local/poudriere/jails/ppc64/usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c:390
It turns out Elf32_AuxInfo was broken for a very long time on powerpc64, as
it uses long and pointers, which are both 64 bits on powerpc64, and only
manifested with the recent work on auxargs.
Currently kexec loads an initrd file into the main memory but does not
mark that region as reserved, thus the area is not protected.
If any initrd/md file is loaded from kexec/petitboot, the region might become
corarupted/overwritten since FreeBSD does not know the region is 'reserved'.
This patch simply adds the initrd area as a reserved memory region.

This reduces the CPU cycle wastage on power9, which is SMT4. Any idle
thread that's spinning is simply starving working threads on the same core
of valuable resources.
This can be reduced further by taking more advantage of the PSSCR supported
states, as well as permitting state loss, as is currently done for power8.
The currently implemented stop state is the lowest latency, which may still
consume resources.
POWER9 supports Radix page tables in addition to Hashed page tables. When
Radix page tables are in use, the TLB is cut in half, so that half of the
TLB is used for the page walk cache. This is the default behavior, however
FreeBSD currently does not support Radix tables. Clear this bit so that we
can use the full TLB. Do this in the MMU logic so that configuration can be
localized to the specific translation format. Once we do support Radix
tables, the setup for that will be localized to the Radix MMU kobj.
Summary:
PowerISA 2.03 and later require bits 14:65 in the RB register argument,
which is the full value of the vpn argument post-shift. Only POWER4, POWER4+,
and PPC970* need the upper 16 bits cropped.
With this change FreeBSD can boot to multi-user on POWER9.

IPMI access on PowerNV systems is done through the OPAL firmware. This adds a
simple attachment for communicating with the FSP/BMC on these machines. This
has been tested on a Talos POWER9 workstation, only in the bootup phase, noting
the successful attachment messages:
...
ipmi0: IPMI device rev. 0, firmware rev. 2.00, version 2.0, device support mask 0
ipmi0: Number of channels 2
...
The ipmi device has not been added to GENERIC64, but may be after further
testing. It may also eventually be added to the ipmi module at that point.
Summary:
PowerNV architectures (in the test case POWER9) export sensors via the device
tree, which are accessed via OPAL calls. This adds sysctl nodes for each
device in a generic fashion. New sysctl nodes are:
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor_min
dev.opal_sensor.N.sensor_max
dev.opal_sensor.N.type
dev.opal_sensor.N.label
These are rooted at a parent attachment under opal, called opalsens. This does
not add support for the "sensor groups" defined in the device tree.

POWER9 systems use a new interrupt controller, XIVE, managed through OPAL
firmware calls. The OPAL firmware includes support for emulating the previous
generation XICS presentation layer in addition to a new "XIVE Exploitation"
mode. As a stopgap until we have XIVE exploitation mode, enable XICS emulation
mode so that we at least have an interrupt controller.
Since the CPPR is local to the current CPU, it cannot be updated for APs when

r333273 and partially reverted with r333594.
Older CPUs implement addition of offsets into the page table by a
bitwise OR rather than actual addition, which only works if the table is
aligned at a multiple of its own size (they also require it to be aligned
at a multiple of 256KB). Newer ones do not have that requirement, but it
hardly matters to enforce it anyway.
The original code was failing on newer systems with huge amounts of RAM
(> 512 GB), in which the page table was 4 GB in size. Because the
bootstrap memory allocator took its alignment parameter as an int, this
turned into a 0, removing any alignment constraint at all and making
the MMU fail. The first round of this patch (r333273) fixed this case by
aligning it at 256 KB, which broke older CPUs. Fix this instead by widening
the alignment parameter.
Summary:
There were 2 issues that were preventing correct symbol resolution
on PowerPC/pseries:
1- memory corruption at chrp_attach() - this caused the inital
part of the symbol table to become zeroed, which would cause
the kernel linker to fail to parse it.
(this was probably zeroing out other memory parts as well)
2- DDB symbol resolution wasn't working because symtab contained
not relocated addresses but it was given relocated offsets.
Although relocating the symbol table fixed this, it broke the
linker, that already handled this case.
Thus, the fix for this consists in adding a new DDB macro:
DB_STOFFS(offs) that converts a (potentially) relocated offset
into one that can be compared with symbol table values.

This change uses the "reg" property of each CPU instead and also
adds several sanity checks to avoid unexpected behavior (maybe
too many panics?).
The main observed symptom was interrupts being missed by the main
processor, leading to timeouts and the kernel aborting the boot.

The POWER9 MMU (PowerISA 3.0) is slightly different from current
configurations, using a partition table even for hypervisor mode, and
dropping the SDR1 register. Key off the newly early-enabled CPU features
flags for the new architecture, and configure the MMU appropriately.
The POWER9 MMU ignores the "PSIZ" field in the PTCR, and expects a 64kB
table. As we are enabled for powernv (hypervisor mode, no VMs), only
initialize partition table entry 0, and zero out the rest. The actual
contents of the register are identical to SDR1 from previous architectures.
Along with this, fix a bug in the page table allocation with very large
memory. The table can be allocated on any 256k boundary. The
bootstrap_alloc alignment argument is an int, and with large amounts of
memory passing the size of the table as the alignment will overflow an
integer. Hard-code the alignment at 256k as wider alignment is not
necessary.

This code caused more problems than it should have fixed (boot failures) on
the machines I tested, so has been commented out for a while now. Remove
it, and assume the errata fixups were done by the bootloader where they
belong.
Discussing with others, this needs to be at least 20 to boot on some POWER9
nodes. Linux made a similar change for the same reason, so increase to 32
to give us some extra breathing room as well. The input and output arrays
are sized at 256, so much greater than the increase in the property array
size.
sysentvec::sv_hwcap/sv_hwcap2 are pointers to u_long, so cpu_features* need
to be u_long to use the pointers. This also requires a temporary cast in
printing the bitfields, which is fine because the feature flag fields are
only 32 bits anyway.
FreeBSD exports the AT_HWCAP* auxvec items if provided by the ELF sysentvec
structure. Add the CPU features to be exported, so user space can more
easily check for them without using the hw.cpu_features and hw.cpu_features2
sysctls.
Not all feature flags are synced. Those for processors we don't currently
support are ignored currently. Those that are supported are synced best I
can tell. One flag was renamed to match the Linux flag name
(PPC_FEATURE2_VCRYPTO -> PPC_FEATURE2_VEC_CRYPTO).
