Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL "ovewrite" capability as
described by the Intel DSM spec v1.7. This will allow triggering of
overwrite on Intel NVDIMMs. The overwrite operation can take tens of
minutes. When the overwrite DSM is issued successfully, the NVDIMMs will
be unaccessible. The kernel will do backoff polling to detect when the
overwrite process is completed. According to the DSM spec v1.7, the 128G
NVDIMMs can take up to 15mins to perform overwrite and larger DIMMs will
take longer.
Given that overwrite puts the DIMM in an indeterminate state until it
completes introduce the NDD_SECURITY_OVERWRITE flag to prevent other
operations from executing when overwrite is happening. The
NDD_WORK_PENDING flag is added to denote that there is a device reference
on the nvdimm device for an async workqueue thread context.

Commit cfe30b8720 "libnvdimm, pmem: adjust for section collisions with
'System RAM'" enabled Linux to workaround occasions where platform
firmware arranges for "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" to collide
within a single section boundary. Unfortunately, as reported in this
issue [1], platform firmware can inflict the same collision between
persistent memory regions.
The approach of interrogating iomem_resource does not work in this
case because platform firmware may merge multiple regions into a single
iomem_resource range. Instead provide a method to interrogate regions
that share the same parent bus.
This is a stop-gap until the core-MM can grow support for hotplug on
sub-section boundaries.

This commit:
5fdf8e5ba5 ("libnvdimm: re-enable deep flush for pmem devices via fsync()")
intended to make sure that deep flush was always available even on
platforms which support a power-fail protected CPU cache. An unintended
side effect of this change was that we also lost the ability to skip
flushing CPU caches on those power-fail protected CPU cache.
Fix this by skipping the low level cache flushing in dax_flush() if we have
CPU caches which are power-fail protected. The user can still override this
behavior by manually setting the write_cache state of a namespace. See
libndctl's ndctl_namespace_write_cache_is_enabled(),

The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

Toshi noticed that the new support for a region-level badblocks missed
the case where errors are cleared due to BTT I/O.
An initial attempt to fix this ran into a "sleeping while atomic"
warning due to taking the nvdimm_bus_lock() in the BTT I/O path to
satisfy the locking requirements of __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear().
However, that lock is not needed since we are not acting on any data that
is subject to change under that lock. The badblocks instance has its own
internal lock to handle mutations of the error list.
So, in order to make it clear that we are just acting on region devices,
rename __nvdimm_bus_badblocks_clear() to nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions().
Eliminate the lock and consolidate all support routines for the new
nvdimm_account_cleared_poison() in drivers/nvdimm/bus.c. Finally, to the
opportunity to cleanup to some unnecessary casts, make the calling
convention of nvdimm_clear_badblocks_regions() clearer by replacing struct
resource with the minimal struct clear_badblocks_context, and use the

The nvdimm_flush() mechanism helps to reduce the impact of an ADR
(asynchronous-dimm-refresh) failure. The ADR mechanism handles flushing
platform WPQ (write-pending-queue) buffers when power is removed. The
nvdimm_flush() mechanism performs that same function on-demand.
When a pmem namespace is associated with a block device, an
nvdimm_flush() is triggered with every block-layer REQ_FUA, or REQ_FLUSH
request. These requests are typically associated with filesystem
metadata updates. However, when a namespace is in device-dax mode,
userspace (think database metadata) needs another path to perform the
same flushing. In other words this is not required to make data
persistent, but in the case of metadata it allows for a smaller failure
domain in the unlikely event of an ADR failure.
The new 'deep_flush' attribute is visible when the individual DIMMs
backing a given interleave-set are described by platform firmware. In
ACPI terms this is "NVDIMM Region Mapping Structures" and associated
"Flush Hint Address Structures". Reads return "1" if the region supports
triggering WPQ flushes on all DIMMs. Reads return "0" the flush
operation is a platform nop, and in that case the attribute is
read-only.
Why sysfs and not an ioctl? An ioctl requires establishing a new
ioctl function number space for device-dax. Given that this would be
called on a device-dax fd an application could be forgiven for
accidentally calling this on a filesystem-dax fd. Placing this interface
in libnvdimm sysfs removes that potential for collision with a
filesystem ioctl, and it keeps ioctls out of the generic device-dax
implementation.

The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of
an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially
created. The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their
location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be
64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken
case.
Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to
the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be
generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by
third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not
validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating
conditions:
1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely
available.
2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected
(nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case.
The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the
namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to
write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.

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.

Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX
(CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows persistent memory ranges to be allocated and
mapped without need of an intervening file system. This initial
infrastructure arranges for a libnvdimm pfn-device to be represented as
a different device-type so that it can be attached to a driver other
than the pmem driver.

When btt devices were re-worked to be child devices of regions this
routine was overlooked. It mistakenly attempts to_nd_namespace_pmem()
or to_nd_namespace_blk() conversions on btt and pfn devices. By luck to
date we have happened to be hitting valid memory leading to a uuid
miscompare, but a recent change to struct nd_namespace_common causes:

This simple change hides pfn_seed attribute for non pmem
regions because they don't support pfn anyway.

The expectation is that the legacy / non-standard pmem discovery method
(e820 type-12) will only ever be used to describe small quantities of
persistent memory. Larger capacities will be described via the ACPI
NFIT. When "allocate struct page from pmem" support is added this default
policy can be overridden by assigning a legacy pmem namespace to a pfn
device, however this would be only be necessary if a platform used the
legacy mechanism to define a very large range.

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.
