x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-11-04T17:09:05+00:00

commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream. In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Revert "x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()"

2020-11-04T17:08:28+00:00

This reverts commit a85748ed9eb70108f9605558f2754ca94ee91401 which is commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream. We had a mistake when merging a later patch in this series due to some file movements, so revert this change for now, as we will add it back in a later commit. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/testing/nvdimm: Emulate firmware activation commands

2020-07-26T01:34:48+00:00

Augment the existing firmware update emulation to track activations and validate proper update vs activate sequencing. The DIMM firmware activate capability has a concept of a maximum amount of time platform firmware will quiesce the system relative to how many DIMMs are being activated in parallel. Simulate that DIMM activation happens serially, 1 second per-DIMM, and limit the max at 3 seconds. The nfit_test0 bus emulates 5 DIMMs so it will take 2 activations to update all DIMMs. Cc: Vishal Verma Cc: Dave Jiang Cc: Ira Weiny Reported-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma

tools/testing/nvdimm: Prepare nfit_ctl_test() for ND_CMD_CALL emulation

2020-07-26T01:34:47+00:00

In preparation for adding a mocked implementation of the firmware-activate bus-info command, rework nfit_ctl_test() to operate on a local command payload wrapped in a 'struct nd_cmd_pkg'. Cc: Vishal Verma Cc: Dave Jiang Cc: Ira Weiny Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma

tools/testing/nvdimm: Add command debug messages

2020-07-26T01:34:47+00:00

Arrange the for nfit_test_ctl() path to dump command payloads similarly to the acpi_nfit_ctl() path. This is useful for comparing the sequence of command events between an emulated ACPI-NFIT platform and a real one.

tools/testing/nvdimm: Cleanup dimm index passing

2020-07-26T01:34:47+00:00

The ND_CMD_CALL path only applies to the nfit_test0 emulated DIMMs. Cleanup occurrences of (i - t->dcr_idx) since that offset fixup only applies to cases where nfit_test1 needs a bus-local index. Cc: Vishal Verma Cc: Dave Jiang Cc: Ira Weiny Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma

ACPI: NFIT: Move bus_dsm_mask out of generic nvdimm_bus_descriptor

2020-07-26T01:34:47+00:00

DSMs are strictly an ACPI mechanism, evict the bus_dsm_mask concept from the generic 'struct nvdimm_bus_descriptor' object. As a side effect the test facility ->bus_nfit_cmd_force_en is no longer necessary. The test infrastructure can communicate that information directly in ->bus_dsm_mask.

tools/testing/nvdimm: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array

2020-06-16T04:08:32+00:00

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
