ACPI 6.2 adds support for named methods to access the label storage area of an NVDIMM. We prefer these new methods if available and otherwise fallback to the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL _DSMs. The kernel ioctls, ND_IOCTL_{GET,SET}_CONFIG_{SIZE,DATA}, remain generic and the driver translates the 'package' payloads into the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL 'buffer' format to maintain compatibility with existing userspace and keep the output buffer parsing code in the driver common. The output payloads are mostly compatible save for the 'label area locked' status that moves from the 'config_size' (_LSI) command to the 'config_read' (_LSR) command status.

ACPI 6.2 defines in section 9.20.7.2 that the OSPM may call a Start ARS with Flags Bit [1] set upon receiving the 0x81 notification. Upon receiving the notification, the OSPM may decide to issue a Start ARS with Flags Bit [1] set to prepare for the retrieval of existing records and issue the Query ARS Status function to retrieve the records. Add support to call a Start ARS from acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() with ND_ARS_RETURN_PREV_DATA set when HW_ERROR_SCRUB_ON is not set.

This is an optional notification. Only locations that were mapped in to SPA by the platform will generate a notification. Add support of this notification value by initiating an ARS scan.

A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl() and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing the rest of the tests to not run / fail. This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress against implementations it has seen in practice.

Per "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.3" NVDIMM devices, children of the ACPI0012 NVDIMM Root device, can receive health event notifications. Given that these devices are precluded from registering a notification handler via acpi_driver.acpi_device_ops (due to no _HID), we use acpi_install_notify_handler() directly.

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. Cc: Rafael J.

nvdimm_flush() is a replacement for the x86 'pcommit' instruction. It is an optional write flushing mechanism that an nvdimm bus can provide for the pmem driver to consume. In the case of the NFIT nvdimm-bus-provider nvdimm_flush() is implemented as a series of flush-hint-address [1] writes to each dimm in the interleave set (region) that backs the namespace. The nvdimm_has_flush() routine relies on platform firmware to describe the flushing capabilities of a platform. It uses the heuristic of whether an nvdimm bus provider provides flush address data to return a ternary result: 1: flush addresses defined 0: dimm topology described without flush addresses (assume ADR) -errno: no topology information, unable to determine flush mechanism The pmem driver is expected to take the following actions on this ternary result: 1: nvdimm_flush() in response to REQ_FUA / REQ_FLUSH and shutdown 0: do not set, WC or FUA on the queue, take no further action -errno: warn and then operate as if nvdimm_has_flush() returned '0' The caveat of this heuristic is that it can not distinguish the "dimm does not have flush address" case from the "platform firmware is broken and failed to describe a flush address". Given we are already explicitly trusting the NFIT there's not much more we can do beyond blacklisting broken firmwares if they are ever encountered.

There are currently 4 known similar but incompatible definitions of the command sets that can be sent to an NVDIMM through ACPI. It is also clear that future platform generations (ACPI or not) will continue to revise and extend the DIMM command set as new devices and use cases arrive. It is obviously untenable to continue to proliferate divergence of these command definitions, and to that end a standardization process has begun to provide for a unified specification. However, that leaves a problem about what to do with this first generation where vendors are already shipping divergence. The Linux kernel can support these initial diverged platforms without giving platform-firmware free reign to continue to diverge and compound kernel maintenance overhead. The kernel implementation can encourage standardization in two ways: 1/ Require that any function code that userspace wants to send be explicitly white-listed in the implementation. For ACPI this means function codes marked as supported by acpi_check_dsm() may only be invoked if they appear in the white-list. A function must be publicly documented before it is added to the white-list. 2/ The above restrictions can be trivially bypassed by using the "vendor-specific" payload command. However, since vendor-specific commands are by definition not publicly documented and have the potential to corrupt the kernel's view of the dimm state, we provide a toggle to disable vendor-specific operations. Enabling undefined behavior is a policy decision that can be made by the platform owner and encourages firmware implementations to choose public over private command implementations.

Address range scrub is a potentially long running process that we want to complete before any pmem regions are registered. Perform this operation asynchronously to allow other drivers to load in the meantime. Platform firmware may have initiated a partial scrub prior to the driver loading, so we must be careful to consume those results before kicking off kernel initiated scrubs on other regions. This rework also makes the registration path more tolerant of scrub errors in that it splits scrubbing into 2 phases. The first phase synchronously waits for a platform-firmware initiated scrub to complete. The second phase scans the remaining address ranges asynchronously and notifies the related driver(s) when the scrub completes. Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

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.

Add support in the NFIT BLK I/O path for the "latch" flag defined in the "Get Block NVDIMM Flags" _DSM function: http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf This flag requires the driver to read back the command register after it is written in the block I/O path. This ensures that the hardware has fully processed the new command and moved the aperture appropriately. Signed-off-by: NRoss Zwisler <ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NRafael J.
