drivers/nvdimm: Fix build failure when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set

The following build failure occurs when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set
as generic pmu functions are not visible in that scenario.

drivers/nvdimm: Fix build failure when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set

The following build failure occurs when CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is not set
as generic pmu functions are not visible in that scenario.

|-- s390-randconfig-r044-20220313
| |-- nd_perf.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-perf_pmu_migrate_context
| |-- nd_perf.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-perf_pmu_register
| `-- nd_perf.c:(.text):undefined-reference-to-perf_pmu_unregister

Similar build failure in nds32 architecture:
nd_perf.c:(.text+0x21e): undefined reference to `perf_pmu_migrate_context'
nd_perf.c:(.text+0x434): undefined reference to `perf_pmu_register'
nd_perf.c:(.text+0x57c): undefined reference to `perf_pmu_unregister'

Fix this issue by adding check for CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS config option
and disabling the nvdimm perf interface incase this config is not set.

Also remove function declaration of perf_pmu_migrate_context,
perf_pmu_register, perf_pmu_unregister functions from nd.h as these are
common pmu functions which are part of perf_event.h and since we
are disabling nvdimm perf interface incase CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS option
is not set, we not need to declare them in nd.h

Also move the platform_device header file addition part from nd.h to
nd_perf.c and add stub functions for register_nvdimm_pmu and
unregister_nvdimm_pmu functions to handle CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=n
case.

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.

drivers/nvdimm: Add perf interface to expose nvdimm performance stats

A common interface is added to get performance stats reporting
support for nvdimm devices. Added interface defines supported
event list, config fields for the event attributes and their
corresponding bit values which are exported via sysfs.

Interface also added support for pmu register/unregister functions,
cpu hotplug feature along with macros for handling events addition
via sysfs. It adds attribute groups for format, cpumask and events
to the pmu structure.

User could use the standard perf tool to access perf events exposed
via nvdimm pmu.

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.

virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

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

libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option

We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:

1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting

2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)

3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

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.

libnvdimm: infrastructure for btt devices

NVDIMM namespaces, in addition to accepting "struct bio" based requests,
also have the capability to perform byte-aligned accesses. By default
only the bio/block interface is used. However, if another driver can
make effective use of the byte-aligned capability it can claim namespace
interface and use the byte-aligned ->rw_bytes() interface.

The BTT driver is the initial first consumer of this mechanism to allow
adding atomic sector update semantics to a pmem or blk namespace. This
patch is the sysfs infrastructure to allow configuring a BTT instance
for a namespace. Enabling that BTT and performing i/o is in a
subsequent patch.

libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimms

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).

libnvdimm, nfit: regions (block-data-window, persistent memory, volatile memory)

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...".

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.

virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver

This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.
