^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5) This directory exposes interfaces for interacting with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) the FSP and platform dumps through OPAL firmware interface.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) This is only for the powerpc/powernv platform.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) initiate_dump: When '1' is written to it,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) we will initiate a dump.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) 0xXX-0xYYYY: A directory for dump of type 0xXX and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) id 0xYYYY (in hex). The name of this
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) directory should not be relied upon to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) be in this format, only that it's unique
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) among all dumps. For determining the type
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) and ID of the dump, use the id and type files.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) Do not rely on any particular size of dump
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) type or dump id.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) id: An ASCII representation of the dump ID
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) in hex (e.g. '0x01')
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) type: An ASCII representation of the type of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) dump in the format "0x%x %s" with the ID
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) in hex and a description of the dump type
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) (or 'unknown').
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) Type '0xffffffff unknown' is used when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) we could not get the type from firmware.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) e.g. '0x02 System/Platform Dump'
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) dump: A binary file containing the dump.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) The size of the dump is the size of this file.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) acknowledge: When 'ack' is written to this, we will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) acknowledge that we've retrieved the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) dump to the service processor. It will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) then remove it, making the dump
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) inaccessible.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) Reading this file will get a list of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) supported actions.
