      libnvdimm, pmem: use REQ_FUA, REQ_FLUSH for nvdimm_flush() · 7e267a8c
      Dan Williams authored
      Given that nvdimm_flush() has higher overhead than wmb_pmem() (pointer
      chasing through nd_region), and that we otherwise assume a platform has
      ADR capability when flush hints are not present, move nvdimm_flush() to
      REQ_FLUSH context.
      
      Note that we still arrange for nvdimm_flush() to be called even in the
      ADR case. We need at least once wmb() fence to push buffered writes in
      the cpu out to the ADR protected domain.

      libnvdimm: cycle flush hints · 0c27af60
      Dan Williams authored
      When the NFIT provides multiple flush hint addresses per-dimm it is
      expressing that the platform is capable of processing multiple flush
      requests in parallel.  There is some fixed cost per flush request, let
      the cost be shared in parallel on multiple cpus.
      
      Since there may not be enough flush hint addresses for each cpu to have
      one, keep a per-cpu index of the last used hint, hash it with current
      pid, and assume that access pattern and scheduler randomness will keep
      the flush-hint usage somewhat staggered across cpus.

      libnvdimm: introduce nvdimm_flush() and nvdimm_has_flush() · f284a4f2
      Dan Williams authored
      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.

      libnvdimm, nfit: move flush hint mapping to region-device driver-data · e5ae3b25
      Dan Williams authored
      In preparation for triggering flushes of a DIMM's writes-posted-queue
      (WPQ) via the pmem driver move mapping of flush hint addresses to the
      region driver.  Since this uses devm_nvdimm_memremap() the flush
      addresses will remain mapped while any region to which the dimm belongs
      is active.
      
      We need to communicate more information to the nvdimm core to facilitate
      this mapping, namely each dimm object now carries an array of flush hint
      address resources.

      libnvdimm, pmem: allow nfit_test to override pmem_direct_access() · f295e53b
      Dan Williams authored
      Currently phys_to_pfn_t() is an exported symbol to allow nfit_test to
      override it and indicate that nfit_test-pmem is not device-mapped.  Now,
      we want to enable nfit_test to operate without DMA_CMA and the pmem it
      provides will no longer be physically contiguous, i.e. won't be capable
      of supporting direct_access requests larger than a page.  Make
      pmem_direct_access() a weak symbol so that it can be replaced by the
      tools/testing/nvdimm/ version, and move phys_to_pfn_t() to a static
      inline now that it no longer needs to be overridden.

        This time I am very grateful that Ricardo Ribalda Delgado went in and
        fixed my stupid refcounting mistakes in the removal path for GPIO
        chips.  I had a feeling something was wrong here and so it was.  It
        exploded on OMAP and it fixes their problem.  Now it should be (more)
        solid.
      
        The rest i compilation, Kconfig and driver fixes.  Some tagged for
        stable.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Fix a NULL pointer dereference when we are searching the GPIO
           device list but one of the devices have been removed (struct
           gpio_chip pointer is NULL).
      
         - Fix unaligned reference counters: we were ending on +3 after all
           said and done.  It should be 0.  Remove an extraneous get_device(),
           and call cdev_del() followed by device_del() in gpiochip_remove()
           instead and the count goes to zero and calls the release() function
           properly.
      
         - Fix a compile warning due to a missing #include in the OF/device
           tree portions.
      
         - Select ANON_INODES for GPIOLIB, we're using that for our character
           device.  Some randconfig tests disclosed the problem.
      
         - Make sure the Zynq driver clock runs also without CONFIG_PM enabled
      
         - Fix an off-by-one error in the 104-DIO-48E driver

      sched: panic on corrupted stack end · 29d64551
      Jann Horn authored
      Until now, hitting this BUG_ON caused a recursive oops (because oops
      handling involves do_exit(), which calls into the scheduler, which in
      turn raises an oops), which caused stuff below the stack to be
      overwritten until a panic happened (e.g.  via an oops in interrupt
      context, caused by the overwritten CPU index in the thread_info).
      
      Just panic directly.

      This prevents users from triggering a stack overflow through a recursive
      invocation of pagefault handling that involves mapping procfs files into
      virtual memory.
