2021-09-21cxl/mbox: Move mailbox and other non-PCI specific infrastructure to the coreDan Williams
Now that the internals of mailbox operations are abstracted from the PCI specifics a bulk of infrastructure can move to the core. The CXL_PMEM driver intends to proxy LIBNVDIMM UAPI and driver requests to the equivalent functionality provided by the CXL hardware mailbox interface. In support of that intent move the mailbox implementation to a shared location for the CXL_PCI driver native IOCTL path and CXL_PMEM nvdimm command proxy path to share. A unit test framework seeks to implement a unit test backend transport for mailbox commands to communicate mocked up payloads. It can reuse all of the mailbox infrastructure minus the PCI specifics, so that also gets moved to the core. Finally with the mailbox infrastructure and ioctl handling being transport generic there is no longer any need to pass file file_operations to devm_cxl_add_memdev(). That allows all the ioctl boilerplate to move into the core for unit test reuse. No functional change intended, just code movement.

2021-08-06cxl: Move cxl_core to new directoryBen Widawsky
CXL core is growing, and it's already arguably unmanageable. To support future growth, move core functionality to a new directory and rename the file to represent just bus support. Future work will remove non-bus functionality. Note that mem.h is renamed to cxlmem.h to avoid a namespace collision with the global ARCH=um mem.h header.

2021-06-09cxl/acpi: Introduce the root of a cxl_port topologyDan Williams
While CXL builds upon the PCI software model for enumeration and endpoint control, a static platform component is required to bootstrap the CXL memory layout. Similar to how ACPI identifies root-level PCI memory resources, ACPI data enumerates the address space and interleave configuration for CXL Memory. In addition to identifying host bridges, ACPI is responsible for enumerating the CXL memory space that can be addressed by downstream decoders. This is similar to the requirement for ACPI to publish resources via the _CRS method for PCI host bridges. Specifically, ACPI publishes a table, CXL Early Discovery Table (CEDT), which includes a list of CXL Memory resources, CXL Fixed Memory Window Structures (CFMWS). For now, introduce the core infrastructure for a cxl_port hierarchy starting with a root level anchor represented by the ACPI0017 device. Follow on changes model support for the configurable decode capabilities of cxl_port instances, i.e. CXL switch support.

2021-05-26cxl: Rename mem to pciBen Widawsky
As the driver has undergone development, it's become clear that the majority [entirety?] of the current functionality in mem.c is actually a layer encapsulating functionality exposed through PCI based interactions. This layer can be used either in isolation or to provide functionality for higher level functionality. CXL capabilities exist in a parallel domain to PCIe. CXL devices are enumerable and controllable via "legacy" PCIe mechanisms; however, their CXL capabilities are a superset of PCIe. For example, a CXL device may be connected to a non-CXL capable PCIe root port, and therefore will not be able to participate in CXL.mem or CXL.cache operations, but can still be accessed through PCIe mechanisms for CXL.io operations. To properly represent the PCI nature of this driver, and in preparation for introducing a new driver for the CXL.mem / HDM decoder (Host-managed Device Memory) capabilities of a CXL memory expander, rename mem.c to pci.c so that mem.c is available for this new driver. The result of the change is that there is a clear layering distinction in the driver, and a systems administrator may load only the cxl_pci module and gain access to such operations as, firmware update, offline provisioning of devices, and error collection. In addition to freeing up the file name for another purpose, there are two primary reasons this is useful, 1. Acting upon devices which don't have full CXL capabilities. This may happen for instance if the CXL device is connected in a CXL unaware part of the platform topology. 2. Userspace-first provisioning for devices without kernel driver interference. This may be useful when provisioning a new device in a specific manner that might otherwise be blocked or prevented by the real CXL mem driver.

2021-02-16cxl/mem: Add basic IOCTL interfaceBen Widawsky
Add a straightforward IOCTL that provides a mechanism for userspace to query the supported memory device commands. CXL commands as they appear to userspace are described as part of the UAPI kerneldoc. The command list returned via this IOCTL will contain the full set of commands that the driver supports, however, some of those commands may not be available for use by userspace. Memory device commands first appear in the CXL 2.0 specification. They are submitted through a mailbox mechanism specified in the CXL 2.0 specification. The send command allows userspace to issue mailbox commands directly to the hardware. The list of available commands to send are the output of the query command. The driver verifies basic properties of the command and possibly inspect the input (or output) payload to determine whether or not the command is allowed (or might taint the kernel).

For now, only the per-endpoint control devices are registered on the 'cxl' bus. However, going forward it will provide a mechanism to coordinate cross-device interleave.

2021-02-16cxl/mem: Find device capabilitiesBen Widawsky
Provide enough functionality to utilize the mailbox of a memory device. The mailbox is used to interact with the firmware running on the memory device. The flow is proven with one implemented command, "identify". Because the class code has already told the driver this is a memory device and the identify command is mandatory. CXL devices contain an array of capabilities that describe the interactions software can have with the device or firmware running on the device. A CXL compliant device must implement the device status and the mailbox capability. Additionally, a CXL compliant memory device must implement the memory device capability. Each of the capabilities can [will] provide an offset within the MMIO region for interacting with the CXL device. The capabilities tell the driver how to find and map the register space for CXL Memory Devices. The registers are required to utilize the CXL spec defined mailbox interface. The spec outlines two mailboxes, primary and secondary. The secondary mailbox is earmarked for system firmware, and not handled in this driver. Primary mailboxes are capable of generating an interrupt when submitting a background command. That implementation is saved for a later time.

2021-02-16cxl/mem: Introduce a driver for CXL-2.0-Type-3 endpointsDan Williams
The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory was attached to the typical CPU memory controller. With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3" device interface and give the operating system control over "Host Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device. The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices. A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section 8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers. For now just land the initial driver boiler-plate and Documentation/ infrastructure.
