+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #define OPAL_MPIPL_UPDATE 173
+ #define OPAL_MPIPL_REGISTER_TAG 174
+ #define OPAL_MPIPL_QUERY_TAG 175
+
+These calls are used for MPIPL (Memory Preserving Initial Program Load).
+
+It is an OPTIONAL part of the OPAL spec.
+
+If a platform supports MPIPL, then we will have "/ibm,opal/dump" node in
+device tree (see :ref:`device-tree/ibm,opal/dump`).
+
+.. _OPAL_MPIPL_UPDATE:
+
+OPAL_MPIPL_UPDATE
+==================
+Linux kernel will use this call to register/unregister MPIPL.
+
+.. code-block:: c

+ };
+
+ops :
+-----
+ OPAL_MPIPL_ADD_RANGE
+ Add new entry to MPIPL table. Kernel will send src, dest and size.
+ During MPIPL content from source address is moved to destination address.
+ src = Source start address
+ dest = Destination start address
+ size = size
+
+ OPAL_MPIPL_REMOVE_RANGE
+ Remove kernel requested entry from MPIPL table.
+ src = Source start address
+ dest = Destination start address
+ size = ignore
+
+ OPAL_MPIPL_REMOVE_ALL
+ Remove all kernel passed entry from MPIPL table.
+ src = ignore
+ dest = ignore
+ size = ignore
+
+ OPAL_MPIPL_FREE_PRESERVED_MEMORY
+ Post MPIPL, kernel will indicate OPAL that it has processed dump and

+
+.. _OPAL_MPIPL_REGISTER_TAG:
+
+OPAL_MPIPL_REGISTER_TAG
+=======================
+Kernel will use this API to register tags during MPIPL registration.
+It expects OPAL to preserve these tags across MPIPL. Post MPIPL Linux
+kernel will use `opal_mpipl_query_tag` call to retrieve these tags.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+ opal_mpipl_register_tag(enum opal_mpipl_tags tag, uint64_t tag_val)
+
+ tag:
+ OPAL_MPIPL_TAG_KERNEL
+ During first boot, kernel will setup its metadata area and asks
+ OPAL to preserve metadata area pointer across MPIPL. Post MPIPL
+ kernel requests OPAL to provide metadata pointer and it will use
+ that pointer to retrieve metadata and create dump.
+
+ OPAL_MPIPL_TAG_BOOT_MEM
+ During MPIPL registration kernel will specify how much memory
+ firmware can use for Post MPIPL load. Post MPIPL petitboot kernel
+ will query for this tag to get boot memory size.
+
+Return Values
+-------------
+``OPAL_SUCCESS``
+ Operation success
+
+``OPAL_PARAMETER``
+ Invalid parameter
+
+.. _OPAL_MPIPL_QUERY_TAG:
+
+OPAL_MPIPL_QUERY_TAG
+====================
+Post MPIPL linux kernel will call this API to get metadata tag. And use this
+tag to retrieve metadata information and generate dump.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+

+
+ tag :
+ OPAL_MPIPL_TAG_CPU
+ Pointer to CPU register data content metadata area
+ OPAL_MPIPL_TAG_OPAL
+ Pointer to OPAL metadata area
+ OPAL_MPIPL_TAG_KERNEL
+ During first boot, kernel will setup its metadata area and asks
+ OPAL to preserve metadata area pointer across MPIPL. Post MPIPL
