Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Fix for the nd_blk (NVDIMM Block Window Aperture) driver.
A spec clarification requires the driver to mask off reserved bits in
status register. This is tagged for -stable back to the v4.2 kernel.- Fix for a kernel crash in the nvdimm unit tests when module loading
is interrupted with SIGTERM. Tagged for -stable since validation
efforts external to Intel use the unit tests for qualifying
backports.- Add a new 'size' sysfs attribute for the BTT (NVDIMM Block
Translation Table) driver to make it symmetric with the other
namespace personality drivers (PFN and DAX) that provide a size
attribute for indicating how much namespace capacity is lost to
metadata.The BTT change arrived at the start of the merge window and has
appeared in a -next release. It can technically wait for 4.9, but it
is small, fixes asymmetry in the libnvdimm-sysfs interface, and
something I would have squeezed into the v4.8 pull request had it
arrived a few days earlier.* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
tools/testing/nvdimm: fix SIGTERM vs hotplug crash

The unit tests crash when hotplug races the previous probe. This race
requires that the loading of the nfit_test module be terminated with
SIGTERM, and the module to be unloaded while the ars scan is still
running.In contrast to the normal nfit driver, the unit test calls
acpi_nfit_init() twice to simulate hotplug, whereas the nominal case
goes through the acpi_nfit_notify() event handler. The
acpi_nfit_notify() path is careful to flush the previous region
registration before servicing the hotplug event. The unit test was
missing this guarantee.BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

We have some tests that assume we're using std=gnu99, which is fine on
most compilers, but some old compilers use a different default.So make it explicit that we want to use std=gnu99.

This script automates testing doorbells, scratchpads and memory windows
for an NTB device. It can be run locally, with the NTB looped
back to the same host or use SSH to remotely control the second host.In the single host case, the script just needs to be passed two
arguments: a PCI ID for each side of the link. In the two host case
the -r option must be used to specify the remote hostname (which must
be SSH accessible and should probably have ssh-keys exchanged).A sample run looks like this:
$ sudo ./ntb_test.sh 0000:03:00.1 0000:83:00.1 -p 29

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Add a new video device test that opens user specified Video Device and
calls video ioctls in a loop once every 10 seconds.This test is intended for testing device removal and driver unbind while
an ioctl is active. Clean device removal and driver unbind is expected
without any use-after-free and panics.Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

When a latent (unknown to 'badblocks') error is encountered, it will
trigger a machine check exception. On a system with machine check
recovery, this will only SIGBUS the process(es) which had the bad page
mapped (as opposed to a kernel panic on platforms without machine
check recovery features). In the former case, we want to trigger a full
rescan of that nvdimm bus. This will allow any additional, new errors
to be captured in the block devices' badblocks lists, and offending
operations on them can be trapped early, avoiding machine checks.This is done by registering a callback function with the
x86_mce_decoder_chain and calling the new ars_rescan functionality with
the address in the mce notificatiion.Cc: Rafael J. Wysocki

PROT_SAO is a powerpc-specific flag to mmap(), and we rely on arch
specific logic to allow it to be passed to mmap().Add a small test to ensure mmap() accepts PROT_SAO. We don't have a good
way to test that it actually causes the mapping to be created with the
right flags, so for now we just touch the mapping so it's faulted in. In
future we might be able to do something better.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

Currently it doesn't appear the resulting binary actually uses any
Altivec or VSX instructions the solution is to explicitly tell GCC to
use vector instructions and use vector types in the code.Part of this this issue can be GCC version specific:
GCC 4.9.x is happy to use Altivec and VSX instructions if altivec.h is
includedi (and possibly if vector types are used), this also means that
4.9.x will use VSX instructions even if only -maltivec is passed. It is
also possible that Altivec instructions will be used even without
-maltivec or -mabi=altivec.GCC 5.2.x complains about the lack of -maltivec parameter if altivec.h
is included and will not use VSX unless -mvsx is present on commandline.GCC 5.3.0 has a regression that means __attribute__((__target__("no-vsx"))
fails to build. A fix is targeted for 5.4.Furthermore LTO (Link Time Optimisation) doesn't play well with
__attribute__((__target__("no-vsx")), LTO can cause GCC to forget about
the attribute and compile with VSX instructions regardless. Be wary when
enabling -flfo for this test.Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the
performance counters.
2 allow only user-space measurements.
1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default).
0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
-1 no restrictions.require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below
a specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an
unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1.Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc
which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1
but no skips when set to zero.With this patch applied there are no skipped selftests/powerpc test when
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 0 or -1.Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur
