When support for _FIT was added, the code presumed that the data
returned by the _FIT method is identical to the NFIT table, which
starts with an acpi_table_header. However, the _FIT is defined
to return a data in the format of a series of NFIT type structure
entries and as a method, has an acpi_object header rather tahn
an acpi_table_header.
To address the differences, explicitly save the acpi_table_header
from the NFIT, since it is accessible through /sys, and change
the nfit pointer in the acpi_desc structure to point to the
table entries rather than the headers.

The size of NFIT tables don't necessarily match the size of the
data structures that we use for them. For example, the NVDIMM
Control Region Structure table is shorter for a device with
no block control windows than for a device with block control windows.
Other tables, such as Flush Hint Address Structure and the Interleave
Structure are variable length by definition.
Account for the size difference when comparing table entries by
using the actual table size from the table header if it's less
than the structure size.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
notable for what it does not contain, than what it does. There were a
handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
for 4.5.
The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
-next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is
contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump
support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has
received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.
Summary:
- Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
updates of the NFIT at runtime.
- Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.
- Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and
as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by
default"

Add a .notify callback to the acpi_nfit_driver that gets called on a
hotplug event. From this, evaluate the _FIT ACPI method which returns
the updated NFIT with handles for the hot-plugged NVDIMM.
Iterate over the new NFIT, and add any new tables found, and
register/enable the corresponding regions.
In the nfit test framework, after normal initialization, update the NFIT
with a new hot-plugged NVDIMM, and directly call into the driver to
update its view of the available regions.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For
rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was
done on a random lab machine.
PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s
PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s
To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:
http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.
In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.

ACPI 6.0 NFIT Memory Device State Flags in Table 5-129 defines
NVDIMM status as follows. These bits indicate multiple info,
such as failures, pending event, and capability.
Bit [0] set to 1 to indicate that the previous SAVE to the
Memory Device failed.
Bit [1] set to 1 to indicate that the last RESTORE from the
Memory Device failed.
Bit [2] set to 1 to indicate that platform flush of data to
Memory Device failed. As a result, the restored data content
may be inconsistent even if SAVE and RESTORE do not indicate
failure.
Bit [3] set to 1 to indicate that the Memory Device is observed
to be not armed prior to OSPM hand off. A Memory Device is
considered armed if it is able to accept persistent writes.
Bit [4] set to 1 to indicate that the Memory Device observed
SMART and health events prior to OSPM handoff.
/sys/bus/nd/devices/nmemX/nfit/flags shows this flags info.
The output strings associated with the bits are "save", "restore",
"smart", etc., which can be confusing as they may be interpreted
as positive status, i.e. save succeeded.
Change also the dev_info() message in acpi_nfit_register_dimms()
to be consistent with the sysfs flags strings.

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).
The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.
A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement
mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an
external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit,
libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker
--wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully
functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.
Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully
emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
reproducer unit test.
Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
involved.
Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
libndctl?
Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.
Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example
__wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future
maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA)
between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces. After DPA has been allocated from
a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O
as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to
handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory
controller interleave. For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk
driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O.
This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the
ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from
DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave
descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power
fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability
to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm
namespace devices to do byte aligned IO.
The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space
from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based
driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or
asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level.
The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures,
and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more
CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock
strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked
which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by
atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case,
theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other
strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to
a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've
otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads
showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking
'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the
atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the
in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a
very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm
label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave
set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window
aperture(s)) interface. A label, stored in a "configuration data
region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed
through which exclusive interface.
Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a
label in the set while any member dimm is active. Note that this is
meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the
coarse ioctl command. Adding/deleting namespaces from an active
interleave set is always possible via sysfs.
Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity
when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered. For this purpose we
generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and
validated against the current configuration. It is the bus provider
implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie
and attach it to a given region.

The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).
ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio
block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or
volatile memory), without regard for aliasing. Aliasing, in the
dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to
designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges.
Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent
patch.
The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is
a global ida index assigned at discovery time. This id is not reliable
across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug. Look to attributes of
the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a
persistent name. However, if the platform configuration does not change
it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next
boot.
"region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where:
- size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the
system physical address range in the case of PMEM.
- mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's
capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>). For a PMEM-region
there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set. For
a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the
BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size"
above).
The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the
constraints of sysfs attribute groups. That said the number of mappings
per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in
the system. If the current number turns out to not be enough then the
"mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32
should be enough for anybody...".

* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and
attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a
nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported
device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias'
and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic
sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type
number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a
vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise.
* The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver
for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and
store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.
Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of
nvdimm bus devices by default.

Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.
ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events
If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.
Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.

Enable nvdimm devices to be registered on a nvdimm_bus. The kernel
assigned device id for nvdimm devicesis dynamic. If userspace needs a
more static identifier it should consult a provider-specific attribute.
In the case where NFIT is the provider, the 'nmemX/nfit/handle' or
'nmemX/nfit/serial' attributes may be used for this purpose.

The control device for a nvdimm_bus is registered as an "nd" class
device. The expectation is that there will usually only be one "nd" bus
registered under /sys/class/nd. However, we allow for the possibility
of multiple buses and they will listed in discovery order as
ndctl0...ndctlN. This character device hosts the ioctl for passing
control messages. The initial command set has a 1:1 correlation with
the commands listed in the by the "NFIT DSM Example" document [1], but
this scheme is extensible to future command sets.
Note, nd_ioctl() and the backing ->ndctl() implementation are defined in
a subsequent patch. This is simply the initial registrations and sysfs
attributes.

A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm
resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device,
nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices. The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such
non-volatile memory resources in a system. The nfit.ko driver attaches
to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and
parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.
