Merge tag 'cxl-for-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl

Pull Compute Express Link (CXL) updates from Dan Williams:
 "To date Linux has been dependent on platform-firmware to map CXL RAM
  regions and handle events / errors from devices. With this update we
  can now parse / update the CXL memory layout, and report events /
  errors from devices. This is a precursor for the CXL subsystem to
  handle the end-to-end "RAS" flow for CXL memory. i.e. the flow that
  for DDR-attached-DRAM is handled by the EDAC driver where it maps
  system physical address events to a field-replaceable-unit (FRU /
  endpoint device). In general, CXL has the potential to standardize
  what has historically been a pile of memory-controller-specific error
  handling logic.

  Another change of note is the default policy for handling RAM-backed
  device-dax instances. Previously the default access mode was "device",
  mmap(2) a device special file to access memory. The new default is
  "kmem" where the address range is assigned to the core-mm via
  add_memory_driver_managed(). This saves typical users from wondering
  why their platform memory is not visible via free(1) and stuck behind
  a device-file. At the same time it allows expert users to deploy
  policy to, for example, get dedicated access to high performance
  memory, or hide low performance memory from general purpose kernel
  allocations. This affects not only CXL, but also systems with
  high-bandwidth-memory that platform-firmware tags with the
  EFI_MEMORY_SP (special purpose) designation.

  Summary:

   - CXL RAM region enumeration: instantiate 'struct cxl_region' objects
     for platform firmware created memory regions

   - CXL RAM region provisioning: complement the existing PMEM region
     creation support with RAM region support

   - "Soft Reservation" policy change: Online (memory hot-add)
     soft-reserved memory (EFI_MEMORY_SP) by default, but still allow

Dan Williams 4a0079bc7a nvdimm: Replace lockdep_mutex with local lock classes
In response to an attempt to expand dev->lockdep_mutex for device_lock()
validation [1], Peter points out [2] that the lockdep API already has
the ability to assign a dedicated lock class per subsystem device-type.

Use lockdep_set_class() to override the default device_lock()
'__lockdep_no_validate__' class for each NVDIMM subsystem device-type. This
enables lockdep to detect deadlocks and recursive locking within the
device-driver core and the subsystem.

Dan Williams 3c5b903955 cxl: Prove CXL locking
When CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled the 'struct device' definition gets
an additional mutex that is not clobbered by
lockdep_set_novalidate_class() like the typical device_lock(). This
allows for local annotation of subsystem locks with mutex_lock_nested()
per the subsystem's object/lock hierarchy. For CXL, this primarily needs
the ability to lock ports by depth and child objects of ports by their
parent parent-port lock.

Dan Williams d1c6e08e75 libnvdimm/labels: Add uuid helpers
In preparation for CXL labels that move the uuid to a different offset
in the label, add nsl_{ref,get,validate}_uuid(). These helpers use the
proper uuid_t type. That type definition predated the libnvdimm
subsystem, so now is as a good a time as any to convert all the uuid
handling in the subsystem to uuid_t to match the helpers.

Note that the uuid fields in the label data and superblocks is not
replaced per Andy's expectation that uuid_t is a kernel internal type
not to appear in external ABI interfaces. So, in those case
{import,export}_uuid() is used to go between the 2 types.

Also note that this rework uncovered some unnecessary copies for label
comparisons, those are cleaned up with nsl_uuid_equal().

As for the whitespace changes, all new code is clang-format compliant.

Dan Williams 48001ea50d PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation support
Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation
behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state()
indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus,
and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate.
At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state,
->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation
attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to
'armed'.

A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware
activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact
that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory
hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform
firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory
controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly
supports hibernate-freeze.

The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a
firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and
triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the
hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

Aneesh Kumar K.V 8f4b01fcde libnvdimm/namespace: Differentiate between probe mapping and runtime mapping
The nvdimm core currently maps the full namespace to an ioremap range
while probing the namespace mode. This can result in probe failures on
architectures that have limited ioremap space.

For example, with a large btt namespace that consumes most of I/O remap
range, depending on the sequence of namespace initialization, the user
can find a pfn namespace initialization failure due to unavailable I/O
remap space which nvdimm core uses for temporary mapping.

nvdimm core can avoid this failure by only mapping the reserved info
block area to check for pfn superblock type and map the full namespace
resource only before using the namespace.

Given that personalities like BTT can be layered on top of any namespace
type create a generic form of devm_nsio_enable (devm_namespace_enable)
and use it inside the per-personality attach routines. Now
devm_namespace_enable() is always paired with disable unless the mapping
is going to be used for long term runtime access.

With that cleanup the routine can be renamed to the more descriptive
nd_region_advance_seeds().

The change is prompted by an incoming need to optionally advance the
seeds on other events besides 'probe' success.

Dan Williams 7b60422cb7 libnvdimm/security: Consolidate 'security' operations
The security operations are exported from libnvdimm/security.c to
libnvdimm/dimm_devs.c, and libnvdimm/security.c is optionally compiled
based on the CONFIG_NVDIMM_KEYS config symbol.

Rather than export the operations across compile objects, just move the
__security_store() entry point to live with the helpers.

Dan Williams d78c620a2e libnvdimm/security: Introduce a 'frozen' attribute
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.

Dan Williams 87a30e1f05 driver-core, libnvdimm: Let device subsystems add local lockdep coverage
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."

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.

nd_region_available_dpa() accounts for the fact that the largest

allocation limits the available capacity to that point, regardless if
there is BLK allocation hole at a higher address.  Similarly, for the
multi-pmem case we need to track the largest encroachment (highest

whether there is an allocation hole that a BLK allocation could fill at
