Masahiro Yamada 97139d4a6f treewide: remove redundant #include <linux/kconfig.h>
Kernel source files need not include <linux/kconfig.h> explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

We have had a couple bugs in this implementation in the past and before
we add another ->notify() implementation for nvdimm devices, lets allow
this routine to be exercised via nfit_test.

Rewrite acpi_nfit_notify() in terms of a generic struct device and
acpi_handle parameter, and then implement a mock acpi_evaluate_object()
that returns a _FIT payload.

Dan Williams d8d378fa1a tools/testing/nvdimm: fix SIGTERM vs hotplug crash
The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race
requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with
SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still
running.

In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls
acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case
goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler.  The
acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region
registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was
missing this guarantee.

Vishal Verma 6839a6d96f nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error
When a latent (unknown to 'badblocks') error is encountered, it will
trigger a machine check exception. On a system with machine check
recovery, this will only SIGBUS the process(es) which had the bad page
mapped (as opposed to a kernel panic on platforms without machine
check recovery features). In the former case, we want to trigger a full
rescan of that nvdimm bus. This will allow any additional, new errors
to be captured in the block devices' badblocks lists, and offending
operations on them can be trapped early, avoiding machine checks.

This is done by registering a callback function with the
x86_mce_decoder_chain and calling the new ars_rescan functionality with
the address in the mce notificatiion.

Currently phys_to_pfn_t() is an exported symbol to allow nfit_test to
override it and indicate that nfit_test-pmem is not device-mapped.  Now,
we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it
provides will no longer be physically contiguous, i.e. won't be capable
of supporting direct_access requests larger than a page.  Make
pmem_direct_access() a weak symbol so that it can be replaced by the
tools/testing/nvdimm/ version, and move phys_to_pfn_t() to a static
inline now that it no longer needs to be overridden.

Dan Williams ab68f26221 /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory
Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped
without need of an intervening file system.  Device DAX is strict,
precise and predictable.  Specifically this interface:

1/ Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte,
pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

2/ Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault
scenarios are supported.

For example, by forcing MADV_DONTFORK semantics and omitting MAP_PRIVATE
support device-dax guarantees that a mapping always behaves/performs the
same once established.  It is the "what you see is what you get" access
mechanism to differentiated memory vs filesystem DAX which has
filesystem specific implementation semantics.

Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance differentiated memory
ranges.

This commit is limited to the base device driver infrastructure to
associate a dax device with pmem range.

Dan Williams 200c79da82 libnvdimm, pmem, pfn: make pmem_rw_bytes generic and refactor pfn setup
In preparation for providing an alternative (to block device) access
mechanism to persistent memory, convert pmem_rw_bytes() to
nsio_rw_bytes().  This allows ->rw_bytes() functionality without
requiring a 'struct pmem_device' to be instantiated.

In other words, when ->rw_bytes() is in use i/o is driven through
'struct nd_namespace_io', otherwise it is driven through 'struct
pmem_device' and the block layer.  This consolidates the disjoint calls
to devm_exit_badblocks() and devm_memunmap() into a common
devm_nsio_disable() and cleans up the init path to use a unified
pmem_attach_disk() implementation.

Linda Knippers 6b577c9d77 nfit: Adjust for different _FIT and NFIT headers
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.

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.

Dan Williams 32ab0a3f51 libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem
Enable the pmem driver to handle PFN device instances.  Attaching a pmem
namespace to a pfn device triggers the driver to allocate and initialize
struct page entries for pmem.  Memory capacity for this allocation comes
exclusively from RAM for now which is suitable for low PMEM to RAM
ratios.  This mechanism will be expanded later for setting an "allocate
from PMEM" policy.

Dan Williams e1455744b2 libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure
Implement the base infrastructure for libnvdimm PFN devices. Similar to
BTT devices they take a namespace as a backing device and layer
functionality on top. In this case the functionality is reserving space
for an array of 'struct page' entries to be handed out through
pfn_to_page(). For now this is just the basic libnvdimm-device-model for
configuring the base PFN device.

As the namespace claiming mechanism for PFN devices is mostly identical
to BTT devices drivers/nvdimm/claim.c is created to house the common
bits.

Ross Zwisler 67a3e8fe90 nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB
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.
