[Skiboot] [PATCH V5 00/10] opal/errorlog : Generalizes error log read/write routines and adds write to host support for BMC systems

[Mukesh Ojha]

Currently, in the process of committing an error to FSP from OPAL, log info
is first internally converted to PEL format and then pushed to the FSP.
All the errors reported by OPAL are logged to FSP, if for some reason(say
FSP is down) OPAL is not able to log its error to FSP with in a particular
time, then it sends the log to the host directly. So, All the errors logs
(FSP + OPAL) are pushed up to host platform by the FSP.

This patchset improves current error log infrastructure by splitting
existing FSP specific error log read/write routines into common and
hardware(FSP) specific routines. This would make the way easier in
enabling the error log writing to host support for BMC based platforms.

It involves movement of some functions from FSP specific fsp-elog-write.c
and fsp-elog-read.c files to core/errorlog.c . Introduction of platform
hooks for elog info, ack, read and resend pending logs.

Mukesh Ojha (10):
  opal/errorlog : Modification as per coding guidelines to make the code
    more legible
  Removes the elog_enabled variable check from
    'fsp_elog_check_and_fetch_head' routine
  opal/errorlog : Generalizes the error log write path to host
  opal/errorlog : Removal of elog_reject_head() from
    'opal_kexec_elog_notify' routine
  opal/errorlog : Gives function'fsp_elog_write_set_head_state' a more
    meaningful name
  opal/errorlog : Generalizes the error log read path
  opal/errorlog : Renames 'fsp_log_state' to 'sp_log_state'
  Introduces get and put elog routine and reference count field in elog
    structure
  Removes the usage of 'elog_init()' routine, replaces it with
    'opal_elog_init()'
  opal/errorlog : Enables error log write to host on BMC systems
