The RTAS call ibm,set-dynamic-indicator is used to set the new
indicator state identified by a location code. The current
implementation uses rtas_set_dynamic_indicator() API provided by
librtas library which allocates RMO buffer and issue this RTAS
call in the user space. But /dev/mem access by the user space
is prohibited under system lockdown.
This patch provides an interface with new ioctl
PAPR_DYNAMIC_INDICATOR_IOC_SET to the papr-indices character
driver and expose this interface to the user space that is
compatible with lockdown.
Refer PAPR 7.3.18 ibm,set-dynamic-indicator for more
information on this RTAS call.
- User input parameters to the RTAS call: location code
string, indicator token and new state
Expose these interfaces to user space with a /dev/papr-indices
character device using the following programming model:
int fd = open("/dev/papr-indices", O_RDWR);
int ret = ioctl(fd, PAPR_DYNAMIC_INDICATOR_IOC_SET,
struct papr_indices_io_block)
- The user space passes input parameters in papr_indices_io_block

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.
