[GIT PULL] libnvdimm fixes for 4.15-rc5

[Williams, Dan J]

Hi Linus, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm libnvdimm-fixes

...to receive:

+ACo- NVDIMM namespaces, configured to enforce 1GB alignment, fail to
initialize on platforms that mis-align the start or end of the physical
address range.

+ACo- The Linux implementation of the BTT (Block Translation Table) is
incompatible with the UEFI 2.7 definition of the BTT format. The BTT
layers a software atomic sector semantic on top of an NVDIMM namespace.
Linux needs to be compatible with the UEFI definition to enable boot
support or any pre-OS access of data on a BTT enabled namespace.

+ACo- A fix for ACPI SMART notification events, this allows a userspace
monitor to register for health events rather than poll. This has been
broken since it was initially merged as the unit test inadvertently
worked around the problem. The urgency for fixing this during the -rc
series is driven by how expensive it is to poll for this data (System
Management Mode entry).

These fixes are all tagged for -stable and have received a build
success notification from the kbuild robot. Full changelogs below:

    acpi, nfit: fix health event notification
    
    Integration testing with a BIOS that generates injected health event
    notifications fails to communicate those events to userspace. The nfit
    driver neglects to link the ACPI DIMM device with the necessary driver
    data so acpi+AF8-nvdimm+AF8-notify() fails this lookup:
    
            nfit+AF8-mem +AD0- dev+AF8-get+AF8-drvdata(dev)+ADs-
            if (nfit+AF8-mem +ACYAJg- nfit+AF8-mem-+AD4-flags+AF8-attr)
                    sysfs+AF8-notify+AF8-dirent(nfit+AF8-mem-+AD4-flags+AF8-attr)+ADs-
    
    Add the necessary linkage when installing the notification handler and
    clean it up when the nfit driver instance is torn down.

    libnvdimm, pfn: fix start+AF8-pad handling for aligned namespaces
    
    The alignment checks at pfn driver startup fail to properly account for
    the 'start+AF8-pad' in the case where the namespace is misaligned relative
    to its internal alignment. This is typically triggered in 1G aligned
    namespace, but could theoretically trigger with small namespace
    alignments. When this triggers the kernel reports messages of the form:
    
        dax2.1: bad offset: 0x3c000000 dax disabled align: 0x40000000

    libnvdimm, dax: fix 1GB-aligned namespaces vs physical misalignment
    
    The following namespace configuration attempt:
    
        +ACM- ndctl create-namespace -e namespace0.0 -m devdax -a 1G -f
        libndctl: ndctl+AF8-dax+AF8-enable: dax0.1: failed to enable
          Error: namespace0.0: failed to enable
    
        failed to reconfigure namespace: No such device or address
    
    ...fails when the backing memory range is not physically aligned to 1G:
    
        +ACM- cat /proc/iomem +AHw- grep Persistent
        210000000-30fffffff : Persistent Memory (legacy)
    
    In the above example the 4G persistent memory range starts and ends on a
    256MB boundary.
    
    We handle this case correctly when needing to handle cases that violate
    section alignment (128MB) collisions against +ACI-System RAM+ACI-, and we simply
    need to extend that padding/truncation for the 1GB alignment use case.

    for new structure members. Add them.

    libnvdimm, btt: Fix an incompatibility in the log layout
    
    Due to a spec misinterpretation, the Linux implementation of the BTT log
    area had different padding scheme from other implementations, such as
    UEFI and NVML.
    
    This fixes the padding scheme, and defaults to it for new BTT layouts.
    We attempt to detect the padding scheme in use when probing for an
    existing BTT. If we detect the older/incompatible scheme, we continue
    using it.
