git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPICA updates from Rafael Wysocki: "Additional ACPICA material for v4.2-rc1 This will update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20150619 (a bug-fix release mostly including stable-candidate fixes) and restore an earlier ACPICA commit that had to be reverted due to a regression introduced by it (the regression is addressed by blacklisting the only known system affected by it to date). The only new feature added by this update is the support for overriding objects in the ACPI namespace and a new ACPI table that can be used for that called the Override System Definition Table (OSDT). That should allow us to "patch" the ACPI namespace built from incomplete or incorrect ACPI System Definition tables (DSDT, SSDT) during system startup without the need to provide replacements for all of those tables in the future. Specifics: - Fix system resume problems related to 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) in the firmare (Lv Zheng) - Fix double initialization of the FACS (Lv Zheng) - Add _CLS object processing code to ACPICA (Suravee Suthikulpanit) - Add support for the (currently missing) new GIC version field in the Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT) (Hanjun Guo) - Add support for overriding objects in the ACPI namespace to ACPICA and OSDT support (Lv Zheng, Bob Moore, Zhang Rui) - Updates related to the TCPA and TPM2 ACPI tables (Bob Moore) - Restore the commit modifying _REV to always return "2" (as required by ACPI 6) and add a blacklisting mechanism for systems that may be affected by that change (Rafael J Wysocki) - Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Sascha Wildner)" * tag 'acpica-4.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (28 commits) Revert 'Revert "ACPICA: Permanently set _REV to the value '2'."'

2015-07-03ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REVRafael J. Wysocki
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration information in a special way. For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision, Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user space). Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell machine mentioned above).

The platform reports 2 FACS tables (which is not allowed by ACPI specification) and the new 32-bit address favor rule forces OSPMs to use the FACS table reported via FADT's X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field. The root cause of the reported bug might be one of the followings: 1. BIOS may favor the 64-bit firmware waking vector address when the version of the FACS is greater than 0 and Linux currently only supports resuming from the real mode, so the 64-bit firmware waking vector has never been set and might be invalid to BIOS while the commit enables higher version FACS. 2. BIOS may favor the FACS reported via the "FIRMWARE_CTRL" field in the FADT while the commit doesn't set the firmware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL", it only sets the firware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL". This patch excludes the cases that can trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. There is no handshaking mechanism can be used by OSPM to tell BIOS which FACS is currently used. Thus the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" may still be used by BIOS and the 0 value of the 32-bit firmware waking vector might trigger such failure. This patch enables the firmware waking vectors for both 32bit/64bit FACS tables in order to ensure we can exclude the cases that trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. The exclusion is split into 2 commits so that if it turns out not to be necessary, this single commit can be reverted without affecting the useful one. Lv Zheng, Bob Moore.

Thus the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" may still be used by BIOS and the 0 value of the 32-bit firmware waking vector might trigger such failure. This patch tries to favor 32bit FACS address in another way where both the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL" and the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL" are loaded so that further commit can set firmware waking vector in the both tables to ensure we can exclude the cases that trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 2. The exclusion is split into 2 commits as this commit is also useful for dumping more ACPI tables, it won't get reverted when such exclusion is no longer necessary. Lv Zheng.

2015-07-01ACPICA: Hardware: Enable 64-bit firmware waking vector for selected FACSLv Zheng
ACPICA commit 7aa598d711644ab0de5f70ad88f1e2de253115e4 The following commit is reported to have broken s2ram on some platforms: Commit: 0249ed2444d65d65fc3f3f64f398f1ad0b7e54cd ACPICA: Add option to favor 32-bit FADT addresses. The platform reports 2 FACS tables (which is not allowed by ACPI specification) and the new 32-bit address favor rule forces OSPMs to use the FACS table reported via FADT's X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field. The root cause of the reported bug might be one of the followings: 1. BIOS may favor the 64-bit firmware waking vector address when the version of the FACS is greater than 0 and Linux currently only supports resuming from the real mode, so the 64-bit firmware waking vector has never been set and might be invalid to BIOS while the commit enables higher version FACS. 2. BIOS may favor the FACS reported via the "FIRMWARE_CTRL" field in the FADT while the commit doesn't set the firmware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "FIRMWARE_CTRL", it only sets the firware waking vector address of the FACS reported by "X_FIRMWARE_CTRL". This patch excludes the cases that can trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 1. ACPI specification says: A. 32-bit FACS address (FIRMWARE_CTRL field in FADT): Physical memory address of the FACS, where OSPM and firmware exchange control information. If the X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field contains a non zero value then this field must be zero. A zero value indicates that no FACS is specified by this field. B. 64-bit FACS address (X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field in FADT): 64bit physical memory address of the FACS. This field is used when the physical address of the FACS is above 4GB. If the FIRMWARE_CTRL field contains a non zero value then this field must be zero. A zero value indicates that no FACS is specified by this field. Thus the 32bit and 64bit firmware waking vector should indicate completely different resuming environment - real mode (1MB addressable) and non real mode (4GB+ addressable) and currently Linux only supports resuming from real mode. This patch enables 64-bit firmware waking vector for selected FACS via new acpi_set_firmware_waking_vectors() API so that it's up to OSPMs to determine which resuming mode should be used by BIOS and ACPICA changes won't trigger the bugs caused by the root cause 1.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules: NFIT: Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

2015-06-26acpi: Add acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node()Toshi Kani
The kernel initializes CPU & memory's NUMA topology from ACPI SRAT table. Some other ACPI tables, such as NFIT and DMAR, also contain proximity IDs for their device's NUMA topology. This information can be used to improve performance of these devices. This patch introduces acpi_map_pxm_to_online_node(), which is similar to acpi_map_pxm_to_node(), but always returns an online node. When the mapped node from a given proximity ID is offline, it looks up the node distance table and returns the nearest online node. ACPI device drivers, which are called after the NUMA initialization has completed in the kernel, can call this interface to obtain their device NUMA topology from ACPI tables. Such drivers do not have to deal with offline nodes. A node may be offline when a device proximity ID is unique, SRAT memory entry does not exist, or NUMA is disabled, ex. "numa=off" on x86.

2015-06-26libnvdimm, nfit: handle unarmed dimms, mark namespaces read-onlyDan Williams
Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked "unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT). The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted. However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only. This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the energy source becomes armed. A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
2015-06-26tools/testing/nvdimm: libnvdimm unit test infrastructureDan Williams
'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit, libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker --wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources. Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation? QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a reproducer unit test. Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3 software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components involved. Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in libndctl? Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/. Q: What are the negative implications of merging this? It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example __wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

2015-06-26libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memoryRoss Zwisler
The libnvdimm implementation handles allocating dimm address space (DPA) between PMEM and BLK mode interfaces. After DPA has been allocated from a BLK-region to a BLK-namespace the nd_blk driver attaches to handle I/O as a struct bio based block device. Unlike PMEM, BLK is required to handle platform specific details like mmio register formats and memory controller interleave. For this reason the libnvdimm generic nd_blk driver calls back into the bus provider to carry out the I/O. This initial implementation handles the BLK interface defined by the ACPI 6 NFIT [1] and the NVDIMM DSM Interface Example [2] composed from DCR (dimm control region), BDW (block data window), IDT (interleave descriptor) NFIT structures and the hardware register format.

2015-06-26nd_btt: atomic sector updatesVishal Verma
BTT stands for Block Translation Table, and is a way to provide power fail sector atomicity semantics for block devices that have the ability to perform byte granularity IO. It relies on the capability of libnvdimm namespace devices to do byte aligned IO. The BTT works as a stacked blocked device, and reserves a chunk of space from the backing device for its accounting metadata. It is a bio-based driver because all IO is done synchronously, and there is no queuing or asynchronous completions at either the device or the driver level. The BTT uses 'lanes' to index into various 'on-disk' data structures, and lanes also act as a synchronization mechanism in case there are more CPUs than available lanes. We did a comparison between two lane lock strategies - first where we kept an atomic counter around that tracked which was the last lane that was used, and 'our' lane was determined by atomically incrementing that. That way, for the nr_cpus > nr_lanes case, theoretically, no CPU would be blocked waiting for a lane. The other strategy was to use the cpu number we're scheduled on to and hash it to a lane number. Theoretically, this could block an IO that could've otherwise run using a different, free lane. But some fio workloads showed that the direct cpu -> lane hash performed faster than tracking 'last lane' - my reasoning is the cache thrash caused by moving the atomic variable made that approach slower than simply waiting out the in-progress IO. This supports the conclusion that the driver can be a very simple bio-based one that does synchronous IOs instead of queuing.

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nfit: add interleave-set state-tracking infrastructureDan Williams
On platforms that have firmware support for reading/writing per-dimm label space, a portion of the dimm may be accessible via an interleave set PMEM mapping in addition to the dimm's BLK (block-data-window aperture(s)) interface. A label, stored in a "configuration data region" on the dimm, disambiguates which dimm addresses are accessed through which exclusive interface. Add infrastructure that allows the kernel to block modifications to a label in the set while any member dimm is active. Note that this is meant only for enforcing "no modifications of active labels" via the coarse ioctl command. Adding/deleting namespaces from an active interleave set is always possible via sysfs. Another aspect of tracking interleave sets is tracking their integrity when DIMMs in a set are physically re-ordered. For this purpose we generate an "interleave-set cookie" that can be recorded in a label and validated against the current configuration. It is the bus provider implementation's responsibility to calculate the interleave set cookie and attach it to a given region.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimmsDan Williams
The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK). ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines. If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory)Dan Williams
A "region" device represents the maximum capacity of a BLK range (mmio block-data-window(s)), or a PMEM range (DAX-capable persistent memory or volatile memory), without regard for aliasing. Aliasing, in the dimm-local address space (DPA), is resolved by metadata on a dimm to designate which exclusive interface will access the aliased DPA ranges. Support for the per-dimm metadata/label arrvies is in a subsequent patch. The name format of "region" devices is "regionN" where, like dimms, N is a global ida index assigned at discovery time. This id is not reliable across reboots nor in the presence of hotplug. Look to attributes of the region or static id-data of the sub-namespace to generate a persistent name. However, if the platform configuration does not change it is reasonable to expect the same region id to be assigned at the next boot. "region"s have 2 generic attributes "size", and "mapping"s where: - size: the BLK accessible capacity or the span of the system physical address range in the case of PMEM. - mappingN: a tuple describing a dimm's contribution to the region's capacity in the format (<nmemX>,<dpa>,<size>). For a PMEM-region there will be at least one mapping per dimm in the interleave set. For a BLK-region there is only "mapping0" listing the starting DPA of the BLK-region and the available DPA capacity of that space (matches "size" above). The max number of mappings per "region" is hard coded per the constraints of sysfs attribute groups. That said the number of mappings per region should never exceed the maximum number of possible dimms in the system. If the current number turns out to not be enough then the "mappings" attribute clarifies how many there are supposed to be. "32 should be enough for anybody...".

2015-06-24libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructureDan Williams
* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias' and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise. * The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.

2015-06-24libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devicesDan Williams
Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats. ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is straightforward to extend support to those formats. Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands' attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported commands for that object.

The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the majority of cases. From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points. There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on the last minute for 4.1.
