[PATCH v5 22/25] powerpc/pseries: Pass PLPKS password on kexec

From: Andrew Donnellan
Date: Tue Jan 31 2023 - 01:41:06 EST


From: Russell Currey <ruscur@xxxxxxxxxx>

Before interacting with the PLPKS, we ask the hypervisor to generate a
password for the current boot, which is then required for most further
PLPKS operations.

If we kexec into a new kernel, the new kernel will try and fail to
generate a new password, as the password has already been set.

Pass the password through to the new kernel via the device tree, in
/chosen/ibm,plpks-pw. Check for the presence of this property before
trying to generate a new password - if it exists, use the existing
password and remove it from the device tree.

v3: New patch

v4: Fix compile when CONFIG_PSERIES_PLPKS=n (snowpatch)
