Fix the NFIT parsing code to treat a 0 index in a SPA Range Structure as
a special case and not match Region Mapping Structures that use 0 to
indicate that they are not mapped. Without this fix some platform BIOS
descriptions of "virtual disk" ranges do not result in the pmem driver
attaching to the range.
Details:
In addition to typical persistent memory ranges, the ACPI NFIT may also
convey "virtual" ranges. These ranges are indicated by a UUID in the SPA
Range Structure of UUID_VOLATILE_VIRTUAL_DISK, UUID_VOLATILE_VIRTUAL_CD,
UUID_PERSISTENT_VIRTUAL_DISK, or UUID_PERSISTENT_VIRTUAL_CD. The
critical difference between virtual ranges and UUID_PERSISTENT_MEMORY,
is that virtual do not support associations with Region Mapping
Structures. For this reason the "index" value of virtual SPA Range
Structures is allowed to be 0. If a platform BIOS decides to represent
NVDIMMs with disconnected "Region Mapping Structures" (range-index ==
0), the kernel may falsely associate them with standalone ranges where
the "SPA Range Structure Index" is also zero. When this happens the
driver may falsely require labels where "virtual disks" are expected to
be label-less. I.e. "label-less" is where the namespace-range ==
region-range and the pmem driver attaches with no user action to create
a namespace.

ACPI 6.4 introduced the "SpaLocationCookie" to the NFIT "System Physical
Address (SPA) Range Structure". The presence of that new field is
indicated by the ACPI_NFIT_LOCATION_COOKIE_VALID flag. Pre-ACPI-6.4
firmware implementations omit the flag and maintain the original size of
the structure.
Update the implementation to check that flag to determine the size
rather than the ACPI 6.4 compliant definition of 'struct
acpi_nfit_system_address' from the Linux ACPICA definitions.
Update the test infrastructure for the new expectations as well, i.e.
continue to emulate the ACPI 6.3 definition of that structure.
Without this fix the kernel fails to validate 'SPA' structures and this
leads to a crash in nfit_get_smbios_id() since that routine assumes that
SPAs are valid if it finds valid SMBIOS tables.

Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

Dan reports that smatch thinks userspace can craft an out-of-bound bus
family number. However, nd_cmd_clear_to_send() blocks all non-zero

However, in the speculation path, family is a user controlled array
index value so mask it for speculation safety. Also, since the
nd_cmd_clear_to_send() safety is non-obvious and possibly may change in
the future include input validation as if userspace could get past the

Several ACPI static tables contain references to proximity domains.
ACPI 6.3 has clarified that only entries in SRAT may define a new
domain (sec 5.2.16).
Those tables described in the ACPI spec have additional clarifying text.
NFIT: Table 5-132,
"Integer that represents the proximity domain to which the memory
belongs. This number must match with corresponding entry in the
SRAT table."
HMAT: Table 5-145,
"... This number must match with the corresponding entry in the SRAT
table's processor affinity structure ... if the initiator is a processor,
or the Generic Initiator Affinity Structure if the initiator is a generic
initiator".
IORT and DMAR are defined by external specifications.
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Rev 3.1 does not make any
explicit statements, but the general SRAT statement above will still apply.
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c5/15/vt-directed-io-spec.pdf
IO Remapping Table, Platform Design Document rev D, also makes not explicit
statement, but refers to ACPI SRAT table for more information and again the
generic SRAT statement above applies.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0049/d/
In conclusion, any proximity domain specified in these tables, should be a
reference to a proximity domain also found in SRAT, and they should not be
able to instantiate a new domain. Hence we switch to pxm_to_node() which
will only return existing nodes.

Augment the existing firmware update emulation to track activations and
validate proper update vs activate sequencing.
The DIMM firmware activate capability has a concept of a maximum amount
of time platform firmware will quiesce the system relative to how many
DIMMs are being activated in parallel. Simulate that DIMM activation
happens serially, 1 second per-DIMM, and limit the max at 3 seconds. The
nfit_test0 bus emulates 5 DIMMs so it will take 2 activations to update
all DIMMs.

Platform reboots are expensive. Towards reducing downtime to apply
firmware updates the Intel NVDIMM command definition is growing support
for applying live firmware updates that only require temporarily
suspending memory traffic instead of a full reboot.
Follow-on commits add support for triggering firmware activation, this
patch only defines the commands, adds probe support, and validates that
they are blocked via the ioctl path. The ioctl-path block ensures that
the OS is in charge since these commands have side effects only the OS
can handle. Specifically firmware activation may cause the memory
controller to be quiesced on the order of 100s of milliseconds. In that
case Linux ensure the activation only takes place while the OS is in a
suspend state.

- Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.
- Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach in
the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider them
power-fail protected.
- Fixup some flexible-array declarations.
Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit test
compilation fixups.
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The NDD_ALIASING flag is used to indicate where pmem capacity might
alias with blk capacity and require labeling. It is also used to
indicate whether the DIMM supports labeling. Separate this latter
capability into its own flag so that the NDD_ALIASING flag is scoped to
true aliased configurations.
To my knowledge aliased configurations only exist in the ACPI spec,
there are no known platforms that ship this support in production.
This clarity allows namespace-capacity alignment constraints around
interleave-ways to be relaxed.

In the process of debugging a system with an NVDIMM that was failing to
unlock it was found that the kernel is reporting 'locked' while the DIMM
security interface is 'frozen'. Unfortunately the security state is
tracked internally as an enum which prevents it from communicating the
difference between 'locked' and 'locked + frozen'. It follows that the
enum also prevents the kernel from communicating 'unlocked + frozen'
which would be useful for debugging why security operations like 'change
passphrase' are disabled.
Ditch the security state enum for a set of flags and introduce a new
sysfs attribute explicitly for the 'frozen' state. The regression risk
is low because the 'frozen' state was already blocked behind the
'locked' state, but will need to revisit if there were cases where
applications need 'frozen' to show up in the primary 'security'
attribute. The expectation is that communicating 'frozen' is mostly a
helper for debug and status monitoring.

"A collection of locking and async operations fixes for v5.3-rc2. These
had been soaking in a branch targeting the merge window, but missed
due to a regression hunt. This fixed up version has otherwise been in
-next this past week with no reported issues.
In order to gain confidence in the locking changes the pull also
includes a debug / instrumentation patch to enable lockdep coverage
for libnvdimm subsystem operations that depend on the device_lock for
exclusion. As mentioned in the changelog it is a hack, but it works
and documents the locking expectations of the sub-system in a way that
others can use lockdep to verify. The driver core touches got an ack
from Greg.
Summary:
- Fix duplicate device_unregister() calls (multiple threads competing
to do unregister work when scheduling device removal from a sysfs
attribute of the self-same device).
- Fix badblocks registration order bug. Ensure region badblocks are

libnvdimm/region: Register badblocks before namespaces
libnvdimm/bus: Prevent duplicate device_unregister() calls
drivers/base: Introduce kill_device()
For good reason, the standard device_lock() is marked
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because there is simply no sane way to
describe the myriad ways the device_lock() ordered with other locks.
However, that leaves subsystems that know their own local device_lock()
ordering rules to find lock ordering mistakes manually. Instead,
introduce an optional / additional lockdep-enabled lock that a subsystem
can acquire in all the same paths that the device_lock() is acquired.
A conversion of the NFIT driver and NVDIMM subsystem to a
lockdep-validate device_lock() scheme is included. The
debug_nvdimm_lock() implementation implements the correct lock-class and
stacking order for the libnvdimm device topology hierarchy.
Yes, this is a hack, but hopefully it is a useful hack for other
subsystems device_lock() debug sessions. Quoting Greg:
"Yeah, it feels a bit hacky but it's really up to a subsystem to mess up
using it as much as anything else, so user beware :)
I don't object to it if it makes things easier for you to debug."

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

Merge several updates to the ARS implementation. Highlights include:
* Support retrieval of short-ARS results if the ARS state is "requires
continuation", and even if the "no_init_ars" module parameter is
specified.
* Allow busy-polling of the kernel ARS state by allowing root to reset
the exponential back-off timer.
* Filter potentially stale ARS results by tracking query-ARS relative to
the previous start-ARS.
Merge miscellaneous libnvdimm sub-system updates for v5.1. Highlights
include:
* Support for the Hyper-V family of device-specific-methods (DSMs)
* Several fixes and workarounds for Hyper-V compatibility.
* Fix for the support to cache the dirty-shutdown-count at init.
