This provides access to the mbox registers on the ast2400 and ast2500
SoCs.

This driver allows arbitrary reads and writes to the 16 data registers as
the other end may have configured the mbox hardware to provide an
interrupt when a specific register gets written to.

<id>urn:sha1:9f4f9ae81d0affc182f54dd00285ddb90e0b3ae1</id>
<content type='text'>
This driver enables the LPC snoop hardware on the ASPEED BMC
which generates an interrupt upon every write to an I/O port
by the host.

This is typically used to monitor BIOS boot progress by listening
to well-known debug port 80h.

The functionality in this commit just saves all snooped values
to a circular 2K buffer in the kernel, subsequent commits can
act on the values to do things with them.

I ran into a link error on ARM64 for lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing:

drivers/misc/built-in.o: In function `lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing':
:(.rodata+0x68c8): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CALL26 against symbol `__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc' defined in .text section in kernel/built-in.o

I did not analyze this further, but my theory is that we would need a trampoline
to call __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), but the linker (correctly) only adds trampolines
for callers in executable sections.

Disabling KCOV for this one file avoids the build failure with no
other practical downsides I can think of.

The problem can only happen on kernels that contain both kcov and
lkdtm, so if we want to backport this, it should be in the earliest
version that has both (v4.8).

Fixes: 5c9a8750a640 ("kernel: add kcov code coverage")
Fixes: 9a49a528dcf3 ("lkdtm: add function for testing .rodata section")

<id>urn:sha1:6c4e976785011dfbe461821d0bfc58cfd60eac56</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to manage server systems, there is typically another processor
known as a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) which is responsible
for powering the server and other various elements, sometimes fans,
often the system flash.

The Aspeed BMC family which is what is used on OpenPOWER machines and a
number of x86 as well is typically connected to the host via an LPC
(Low Pin Count) bus (among others).

The LPC bus is an ISA bus on steroids. It's generally used by the
BMC chip to provide the host with access to the system flash (via MEM/FW
cycles) that contains the BIOS or other host firmware along with a
number of SuperIO-style IOs (via IO space) such as UARTs, IPMI
controllers.

On the BMC chip side, this is all configured via a bunch of registers
whose content is related to a given policy of what devices are exposed
at a per system level, which is system/vendor specific, so we don't want
to bolt that into the BMC kernel. This started with a need to provide
something nicer than /dev/mem for user space to configure these things.

One important aspect of the configuration is how the MEM/FW space is
exposed to the host (ie, the x86 or POWER). Some registers in that
bridge can define a window remapping all or portion of the LPC MEM/FW
space to a portion of the BMC internal bus, with no specific limits
imposed in HW.

I think it makes sense to ensure that this window is configured by a
kernel driver that can apply some serious sanity checks on what it is
configured to map.

In practice, user space wants to control this by flipping the mapping
between essentially two types of portions of the BMC address space:

   - The flash space. This is a region of the BMC MMIO space that
more/less directly maps the system flash (at least for reads, writes
are somewhat more complicated).

   - One (or more) reserved area(s) of the BMC physical memory.

The latter is needed for a number of things, such as avoiding letting
the host manipulate the innards of the BMC flash controller via some
evil backdoor, we want to do flash updates by routing the window to a
portion of memory (under control of a mailbox protocol via some
separate set of registers) which the host can use to write new data in
bulk and then request the BMC to flash it. There are other uses, such
as allowing the host to boot from an in-memory flash image rather than
the one in flash (very handy for continuous integration and test, the
BMC can just download new images).

It is important to note that due to the way the Aspeed chip lets the
kernel configure the mapping between host LPC addresses and BMC ram
addresses the offset within the window must be a multiple of size.
Not doing so will fragment the accessible space rather than simply
moving 'zero' upwards. This is caused by the nature of HICR8 being a
mask and the way host LPC addresses are translated.

<id>urn:sha1:37afff0d87c9939843c664970af6c6d952f95712</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a new "protect-exec" reserved sram area type which is
makes use of the the existing functionality provided for the "pool"
sram region type for use with the genalloc framework and with the
added requirement that it be maintained as read-only and executable
while allowing for an arbitrary number of drivers to share the space.

This introduces a common way to maintain a region of sram as read-only
and executable and also introduces a helper function, sram_exec_copy,
which allows for copying data to this protected region while maintaining
locking to avoid conflicts between multiple users of the same space. A
region of memory that is marked with the "protect-exec" flag in the
device tree also has the requirement of providing a page aligned block
of memory so that the page attribute manipulation does not affect
surrounding regions.

Also, selectively enable this only for builds that support set_memory_*
calls, for now just ARM, through the use of Kconfig.
