nvdimm: Support sizeof(struct page) > MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE

nvdimm: Support sizeof(struct page) > MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE
Commit 6e9f05dc66f9 ("libnvdimm/pfn_dev: increase MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE")
...updated MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE to account for sizeof(struct page) potentially doubling in the case of CONFIG_KMSAN=y. Unfortunately this doubles the amount of capacity stolen from user addressable capacity for everyone, regardless of whether they are using the debug option. Revert that change, mandate that MAX_STRUCT_PAGE_SIZE never exceed 64, but allow for debug scenarios to proceed with creating debug sized page maps with a compile option to support debug scenarios.
Note that this only applies to cases where the page map is permanent, i.e. stored in a reservation of the pmem itself ("--map=dev" in "ndctl create-namespace" terms). For the "--map=mem" case, since the allocation is ephemeral for the lifespan of the namespace, there are no explicit restriction. However, the implicit restriction, of having enough available "System RAM" to store the page map for the typically large pmem, still applies.

libnvdimm: Introduce CONFIG_NVDIMM_SECURITY_TEST flag
nfit_test overrode the security_show() sysfs attribute function in nvdimm dimm_devs in order to allow testing of security unlock. With the introduction of CXL security commands, the trick to override security_show() becomes significantly more complicated. By introdcing a security flag CONFIG_NVDIMM_SECURITY_TEST, libnvdimm can just toggle the check via a compile option. In addition the original override can can be removed from tools/testing/nvdimm/.
The flag will also be used to bypass cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() when set in a different commit. This allows testing on QEMU with nfit_test or cxl_test since cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion() checks whether X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR cpu feature flag is set on x86.

nvdimm/blk: Delete the block-aperture window driver
Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery. However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX support have the potential to collide with this code.
In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support.
On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without risking the data they have on that device.

libnvdimm: Enable unit test infrastructure compile checks
The infrastructure to mock core libnvdimm routines for unit testing purposes is prone to bitrot relative to refactoring of that core. Arrange for the unit test core to be built when CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y. This does not result in a functional unit test environment, it is only a helper for 0day to catch unit test build regressions.
Note that there are a few x86isms in the implementation, so this does not bother compile testing this architectures other than 64-bit x86.

Stephen reports that an x86 allmodconfig build fails to build the of_pmem driver due to a missing definition of of_node_to_nid(). That helper is currently only exported in the OF_NUMA=y case. In other cases, ppc and sparc, it is a weak symbol, and outside of those platforms it is a static inline.
Until an OF_NUMA=n configuration can reliably support usage of of_node_to_nid() in modules across architectures, mark this driver as 'bool' instead of 'tristate'.

nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link:

This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the rest is a module.

/dev/dax: fix Kconfig dependency build breakage
The function dax_pmem_probe() in drivers/dax/pmem.c is compiled under the CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM tri-state config option. This config option currently only depends on CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX, a bool, which means that the following configuration is possible:
CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=m ... CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=y
With this config LIBNVDIMM is compiled as a module with NVDIMM_DAX=y just meaning that we will compile drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c into that module. However, dax_pmem_probe() depends on several symbols defined in drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c, which results in the following build errors:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_probe': linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:70: undefined reference to `to_nd_dax' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:74: undefined reference to `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:80: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_enable' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:81: undefined reference to `nvdimm_setup_pfn' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:84: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_disable' linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:122: undefined reference to `to_nd_region' drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_init': linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:147: undefined reference to `__nd_driver_register'
Fix this by making NVDIMM_DAX a tristate. DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on NVDIMM_DAX which depends on LIBNVDIMM. Since they are all now tristates, if LIBNVDIMM is built as a kernel module DEV_DAX_PMEM will be as well. This prevents dax_devs.c from being built as a built-in while its dependencies are in the libnvdimm.ko module.

libnvdimm: introduce devm_nvdimm_memremap(), convert nfit_spa_map() users
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. Note that the removal of nfit_spa_map() and related infrastructure is deferred to a later patch.

libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure
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.

libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem
Enable the pmem driver to handle PFN device instances. Attaching a pmem namespace to a pfn device triggers the driver to allocate and initialize struct page entries for pmem. Memory capacity for this allocation comes exclusively from RAM for now which is suitable for low PMEM to RAM ratios. This mechanism will be expanded later for setting an "allocate from PMEM" policy.

libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure
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.

libnvdimm, nfit, nd_blk: driver for BLK-mode access persistent memory
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.

nd_btt: atomic sector updates
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.
