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.

Given dimms and bus commands share the same command number space we need to be careful that we are translating status in the correct context. Otherwise we can, for example, fail an ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE command because max_xfer is zero. It fails because that condition erroneously correlates with the 'cleared == 0' failure of ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR.

Given ambiguities in the ACPI 6.1 definition of the "Output (Size)" field of the ARS (Address Range Scrub) Status command, a firmware implementation may in practice return 0, 4, or 8 to indicate that there is no output payload to process. The specification states "Size of Output Buffer in bytes, including this field.". However, 'Output Buffer' is also the name of the entire payload, and earlier in the specification it states "Max Query ARS Status Output Buffer Size: Maximum size of buffer (including the Status and Extended Status fields)". Without this fix if the BIOS happens to return 0 it causes memory corruption as evidenced by this result from the acpi_nfit_ctl() unit test. ars_status00000000: 00020000 00000000 ........

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. The registered handler, acpi_nvdimm_notify(), triggers a poll(2) event on the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs attribute when a health event notification is received. Cc: Rafael J.

The "NVDIMM Block Window Driver Writer's Guide": http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DriverWritersGuide-July-2016.pdf ...defines the layout of the block window status register. For the July 2016 version of the spec linked to above, this happens in Figure 4 on page 26. The only bits defined in this spec are bits 31, 5, 4, 2, 1 and 0. The rest of the bits in the status register are reserved, and there is a warning following the diagram that says: Note: The driver cannot assume the value of the RESERVED bits in the status register are zero. These reserved bits need to be masked off, and the driver must avoid checking the state of those bits. This change ensures that for hardware implementations that set these reserved bits in the status register, the driver won't incorrectly fail the block I/Os.

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.

Normally, an ARS (Address Range Scrub) only happens at boot/initialization time. There can however arise situations where a bus-wide rescan is needed - notably, in the case of discovering a latent media error, we should do a full rescan to figure out what other sectors are bad, and thus potentially avoid triggering an mce on them in the future.

acpi_evaluate_object() allocates memory. Free the buffer allocated during acpi_nfit_add(). In order for this memory to be freed acpi_nfit_init() needs to be converted to duplicate the nfit contents in its internal allocation. Use zero-length arrays to minimize the thrash with the rest of the nfit driver implementation. All of the add_<nfit-sub-table>() routines now validate a minimum table size and expect hotplugged tables to match the size of the original table to count as a duplicate. For variable length tables, like 'idt' and 'flush', we calculate the dynamic size. Note that hotplug by definition cannot change the interleave as it would cause data corruption of in-use namespaces.

This patch adds logic to treat virtual ramdisk SPA as pmem region, then ramdisk's /dev/pmem* device can be mounted with iso9660. It's useful to work with the httpboot in EFI firmware to pull a remote ISO file to the local memory region for booting and installation. Wiki page of UEFI HTTPBoot with OVMF: https://en.opensuse.org/UEFI_HTTPBoot_with_OVMF The ramdisk function in EDK2/OVMF generates a ACPI0012 root device that it contains empty _STA but without _DSM: DefinitionBlock ("ssdt2.aml", "SSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "RamDisk ", 0x00001000) { Scope (\_SB) { Device (NVDR) { Name (_HID, "ACPI0012") // _HID: Hardware ID Name (_STR, Unicode ("NVDIMM Root Device")) // _STR: Description String Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) // _STA: Status { Return (0x0F) } } } } In section 5.2.25.2 of ACPI 6.1 spec, it mentions that the "SPA Range Structure Index" of virtual SPA shall be set to zero. That means virtual SPA will not be associated by any NVDIMM region mapping. The VCD's SPA Range Structure in NFIT is similar to virtual disk region as following: [028h 0040 2] Subtable Type : 0000 [System Physical Address Range] [02Ah 0042 2] Length : 0038 [02Ch 0044 2] Range Index : 0000 [02Eh 0046 2] Flags (decoded below) : 0000 Add/Online Operation Only : 0 Proximity Domain Valid : 0 [030h 0048 4] Reserved : 00000000 [034h 0052 4] Proximity Domain : 00000000 [038h 0056 16] Address Range GUID : 77AB535A-45FC-624B-5560-F7B281D1F96E [048h 0072 8] Address Range Base : 00000000B6ABD018 [050h 0080 8] Address Range Length : 0000000005500000 [058h 0088 8] Memory Map Attribute : 0000000000000000 The way to not associate a SPA range is to never reference it from a "flush hint", "interleave", or "control region" table. After testing on OVMF, pmem driver can support the region that it doesn't assoicate to any NVDIMM mapping. So, treat VCD like pmem is a idea to get a pmem block device that it contains iso. v4: Instoduce nfit_spa_is_virtual() to check virtual ramdisk SPA and create pmem region. v3: To simplify patch, removed useless VCD region in libnvdimm. v2: Removed the code for setting VCD to a read-only region.

Commit 4995734e "acpi, nfit: fix acpi_check_dsm() vs zero functions implemented" attempted to fix a QEMU regression by supporting its usage of a zero-mask as a valid response to a DSM-family probe request. However, this behavior breaks HP platforms that return a zero-mask by default causing the probe to misidentify the DSM-family. Instead, the QEMU regression can be fixed by simply not requiring the DSM family to be identified. This effectively reverts commit 4995734e, and removes the DSM requirement from the init path.

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.

In preparation for generically mapping flush hint addresses for both the BLK and PMEM use case, provide a generic / reference counted mapping api. Given the fact that a dimm may belong to multiple regions (PMEM and BLK), the flush hint addresses need to be held valid as long as any region associated with the dimm is active. This is similar to the existing BLK-region case where multiple BLK-regions may share an aperture mapping. Up-level this shared / reference-counted mapping capability from the nfit driver to a core nvdimm capability. This eliminates the need for the nd_blk_region.disable() callback.

QEMU 2.6 implements nascent support for nvdimm DSMs. Depending on configuration it may only implement the function0 dsm to indicate that no other DSMs are available. Commit 31eca76b "nfit, libnvdimm: limited/whitelisted dimm command marshaling mechanism" breaks QEMU, but QEMU is spec compliant. Per the spec the way to indicate that no functions are supported is: If Function Index is zero, the return is a buffer containing one bit for each function index, starting with zero. Bit 0 indicates whether there is support for any functions other than function 0 for the specified UUID and Revision ID. If set to zero, no functions are supported (other than function zero) for the specified UUID and Revision ID. Update the nfit driver to determine the family (interface UUID) without requiring the implementation to define any other functions, i.e. short-circuit acpi_check_dsm() to succeed per the spec. The nfit driver appears to be the only user passing funcs==0 to acpi_check_dsm(), so this behavior change of the common routine should be limited to the probing done by the nfit driver.

Otherwise, we fail to handle reported errors and assume commands complete successfully.

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.

Clarify the distinction between "commands", the ioctls userspace calls to request the kernel take some action on a given dimm device, and "_DSMs", the actual function numbers used in the firmware interface to the DIMM. _DSMs are ACPI specific whereas commands are Linux kernel generic. This is in preparation for breaking the 1:1 implicit relationship between the kernel ioctl number space and the firmware specific function numbers.

ACPI 6.1, Table 5-133, updates NVDIMM Control Region Structure as follows. - Valid Fields, Manufacturing Location, and Manufacturing Date are added from reserved range. No change in the structure size. - IDs (SPD values) are stored as arrays of bytes (i.e. big-endian format). The spec clarifies that they need to be represented as arrays of bytes as well. This patch makes the following changes to support this update. - Change the NFIT driver to show SPD ID values in big-endian format. - Change sprintf format to use "0x" instead of "#" since "%#02x" does not prepend '0'. link: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdfSigned-off-by: NToshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com> Cc: Rafael J.
