In the powerpc-pseries specific implementation, the IO hotplug event is handled in the user space (drmgr tool). For the DLPAR IO ADD, the corresponding device tree nodes and properties will be added to the device tree after the device enable. The user space (drmgr tool) uses configure_connector RTAS call with the DRC index to retrieve the device nodes and updates the device tree by writing to /proc/ppc64/ofdt. Under system lockdown, /dev/mem access to allocate buffers for configure_connector RTAS call is restricted which means the user space can not issue this RTAS call and also can not access to /proc/ppc64/ofdt. The pseries implementation need user interaction to power-on and add device to the slot during the ADD event handling. So adds complexity if the complete hotplug ADD event handling moved to the kernel. To overcome /dev/mem access restriction, this patch extends the /sys/kernel/dlpar interface and provides ‘dt add index <drc_index>’ to the user space. The drmgr tool uses this interface to update the device tree whenever the device is added. This interface retrieves device tree nodes for the corresponding DRC index using the configure_connector RTAS call and adds new device nodes / properties to the device tree.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
