Pull libnvdimm and DAX updates from Dan Williams:
 "New support for clearing memory errors when a file is in DAX mode,
  alongside with some other fixes and cleanups.

  Previously it was only possible to clear these errors using a truncate
  or hole-punch operation to trigger the filesystem to reallocate the
  block, now, any page aligned write can opportunistically clear errors
  as well.

  This change spans x86/mm, nvdimm, and fs/dax, and has received the
  appropriate sign-offs. Thanks to Jane for her work on this.

  Summary:

   - Add support for clearing memory error via pwrite(2) on DAX

   - Fix 'security overwrite' support in the presence of media errors

   - Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes for nfit_test (nvdimm unit tests)"

Introduce dax_recovery_write() operation. The function is used to
recover a dax range that contains poison. Typical use case is when
a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.

<content type='text'>
Up till now, dax_direct_access() is used implicitly for normal
access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with
poison is requested.  To make the interface clear, introduce
	enum dax_access_mode {
		DAX_ACCESS,
		DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE,
	}
where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and
DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path.  In the end pmem
uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones
while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device.

Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy
routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path
as well as a lot of boilerplate code.

helper open codes bdev_dax_pgoff given that the alignment checks have
already been done by the submitting file system and don't need to be
repeated.

The device mapper DAX support is all hanging off a block device and thus
can't be used with device dax.  Make it depend on CONFIG_FS_DAX instead
of CONFIG_DAX_DRIVER.  This also means that bdev_dax_pgoff only needs to
be built under CONFIG_FS_DAX now.

<title>dm: update target status functions to support IMA measurement</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=8ec456629d0bf051e41ef2c87a60755f941dd11c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8ec456629d0bf051e41ef2c87a60755f941dd11c</id>
<content type='text'>
For device mapper targets to take advantage of IMA's measurement
capabilities, the status functions for the individual targets need to be
updated to handle the status_type_t case for value STATUSTYPE_IMA.

Update status functions for the following target types, to log their
respective attributes to be measured using IMA.
 01. cache
 02. crypt
 03. integrity
 04. linear
 05. mirror
 06. multipath
 07. raid
 08. snapshot
 09. striped
 10. verity

For rest of the targets, handle the STATUSTYPE_IMA case by setting the
measurement buffer to NULL.

For IMA to measure the data on a given system, the IMA policy on the
system needs to be updated to have the following line, and the system
needs to be restarted for the measurements to take effect.

/etc/ima/ima-policy
 measure func=CRITICAL_DATA label=device-mapper template=ima-buf

The measurements will be reflected in the IMA logs, which are located at:

/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements
/sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/binary_runtime_measurements

These IMA logs can later be consumed by various attestation clients
running on the system, and send them to external services for attesting
the system.

The DM target data measured by IMA subsystem can alternatively
be queried from userspace by setting DM_IMA_MEASUREMENT_FLAG with
DM_TABLE_STATUS_CMD.
