* docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-171-449/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific book. The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard. The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few missing section title identifiers. One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an even longer one. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

* cxl: Add psl9 specific codeChristophe Lombard2017-04-131-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture, level 2, for the IBM POWER9 brings new content and features: - POWER9 Service Layer - Registers - Radix mode - Process element entry - Dedicated-Shared Process Programming Model - Translation Fault Handling - CAPP - Memory Context ID If a valid mm_struct is found the memory context id is used for each transaction associated with the process handle. The PSL uses the context ID to find the corresponding process element.

* cxl: Support to flash a new image on the adapter from a guestChristophe Lombard2016-03-091-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new flash.c file contains the logic to flash a new image on the adapter, through a hcall. It is an iterative process, with chunks of data of 1M at a time. There are also 2 phases: write and verify. The flash operation itself is driven from a user-land tool. Once flashing is successful, an rtas call is made to update the device tree with the new properties values for the adapter and the AFU(s) Add a new char device for the adapter, so that the flash tool can access the card, even if there is no valid AFU on it.
