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.

x86, mirror: x86 enabling - find mirrored memory ranges

2015-06-25T00:49:45Z

UEFI GetMemoryMap() uses a new attribute bit to mark mirrored memory address ranges. See UEFI 2.5 spec pages 157-158: http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf On EFI enabled systems scan the memory map and tell memblock about any mirrored ranges.

efi: Work around ia64 build problem with ESRT driver

2015-06-08T09:51:31Z

So, I'm told this problem exists in the world: > Subject: Build error in -next due to 'efi: Add esrt support' > > Building ia64:defconfig ... failed > -------------- > Error log: > > drivers/firmware/efi/esrt.c:28:31: fatal error: asm/early_ioremap.h: No such file or directory > I'm not really sure how it's okay that we have things in asm-generic on some platforms but not others - is having it the same everywhere not the whole point of asm-generic? That said, ia64 doesn't have early_ioremap.h . So instead, since it's difficult to imagine new IA64 machines with UEFI 2.5, just don't build this code there. To me this looks like a workaround - doing something like: generic-y += early_ioremap.h in arch/ia64/include/asm/Kbuild would appear to be more correct, but ia64 has its own early_memremap() decl in arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h , and it's a macro. So adding the above /and/ requiring that asm/io.h be included /after/ asm/early_ioremap.h in all cases would fix it, but that's pretty ugly as well. Since I'm not going to spend the rest of my life rectifying ia64 headers vs "generic" headers that aren't generic, it's much simpler to just not build there. Note that I've only actually tried to build this patch on x86_64, but esrt.o still gets built there, and that would seem to demonstrate that the conditional building is working correctly at all the places the code built before. I no longer have any ia64 machines handy to test that the exclusion actually works there.

e820, efi: add ACPI 6.0 persistent memory types

2015-05-28T01:46:05Z

ACPI 6.0 formalizes e820-type-7 and efi-type-14 as persistent memory. Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory device driver. This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12 definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as OEM reserved). Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy "Persistent Memory (legacy)" E820_PRAM vs standard "Persistent Memory" E820_PMEM.

efi: Add esrt support

2015-04-30T21:15:04Z

Add sysfs files for the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) under /sys/firmware/efi/esrt and for each EFI System Resource Entry under entries/ as a subdir. The EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) provides a read-only catalog of system components for which the system accepts firmware upgrades via UEFI's "Capsule Update" feature. This module allows userland utilities to evaluate what firmware updates can be applied to this system, and potentially arrange for those updates to occur. The ESRT is described as part of the UEFI specification, in version 2.5 which should be available from http://uefi.org/specifications in early 2015. If you're a member of the UEFI Forum, information about its addition to the standard is available as UEFI Mantis 1090. For some hardware platforms, additional restrictions may be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj128256.aspx , and additional documentation may be found at http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/F/5/5F5D16CD-2530-4289-8019-94C6A20BED3C/windows-uefi-firmware-update-platform.docx .
