git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updayes from Vishal Verma: "You'd normally receive this pull request from Dan Williams, but he's busy watching a newborn (Congrats Dan!), so I'm watching libnvdimm this cycle. This adds a new feature in libnvdimm - 'Runtime Firmware Activation', and a few small cleanups and fixes in libnvdimm and DAX. I'd originally intended to make separate topic-based pull requests - one for libnvdimm, and one for DAX, but some of the DAX material fell out since it wasn't quite ready. Summary: - add 'Runtime Firmware Activation' support for NVDIMMs that advertise the relevant capability - misc libnvdimm and DAX cleanups" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: libnvdimm/security: ensure sysfs poll thread woke up and fetch updated attr libnvdimm/security: the 'security' attr never show 'overwrite' state libnvdimm/security: fix a typo ACPI: NFIT: Fix ARS zero-sized allocation dax: Fix incorrect argument passed to xas_set_err() ACPI: NFIT: Add runtime firmware activate support PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation support libnvdimm: Convert to DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO() drivers/dax: Expand lock scope to cover the use of addresses fs/dax: Remove unused size parameter dax: print error message by pr_info() in __generic_fsdax_supported() driver-core: Introduce DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_{RO,RW} tools/testing/nvdimm: Emulate firmware activation commands tools/testing/nvdimm: Prepare nfit_ctl_test() for ND_CMD_CALL emulation tools/testing/nvdimm: Add command debug messages tools/testing/nvdimm: Cleanup dimm index passing ACPI: NFIT: Define runtime firmware activation commands ACPI: NFIT: Move bus_dsm_mask out of generic nvdimm_bus_descriptor libnvdimm: Validate command family indices
2020-07-28PM, libnvdimm: Add runtime firmware activation supportDan Williams
Abstract platform specific mechanics for nvdimm firmware activation behind a handful of generic ops. At the bus level ->activate_state() indicates the unified state (idle, busy, armed) of all DIMMs on the bus, and ->capability() indicates the system state expectations for activate. At the DIMM level ->activate_state() indicates the per-DIMM state, ->activate_result() indicates the outcome of the last activation attempt, and ->arm() attempts to transition the DIMM from 'idle' to 'armed'. A new hibernate_quiet_exec() facility is added to support firmware activation in an OS defined system quiesce state. It leverages the fact that the hibernate-freeze state wants to assert that a memory hibernation snapshot can be taken. This is in contrast to a platform firmware defined quiesce state that may forcefully quiet the memory controller independent of whether an individual device-driver properly supports hibernate-freeze. The libnvdimm sysfs interface is extended to support detection of a firmware activate capability. The mechanism supports enumeration and triggering of firmware activate, optionally in the hibernate_quiet_exec() context.

2020-06-26Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/driver-apiAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
