Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules: NFIT: Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

arch, x86: pmem api for ensuring durability of persistent memory updates

2015-06-26T15:23:38Z

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1]. Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller) before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis, memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage of pointers to pmem. This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable other archs in 4.3.

Merge branch 'mvebu/drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc

2015-06-19T14:07:07Z

Merge the mvebu/drivers branch of the arm-soc tree which contains just a single patch bfa1ce5f38938cc9e6c7f2d1011f88eba2b9e2b2 ("bus: mvebu-mbus: add mv_mbus_dram_info_nooverlap()") that happens to be a prerequisite of the new marvell/cesa crypto driver.

lib: add software 842 compression/decompression

2015-05-11T07:06:43Z

Add 842-format software compression and decompression functions. Update the MAINTAINERS 842 section to include the new files. The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842 compression format. The 842 decompression function can decompress any standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located in PowerPC coprocessors). The 842 compressed data format is explained in the header comments. This is used in a later patch to provide a full software 842 compression and decompression crypto interface.

Pull final removal of deprecated cpus_* cpumask functions from Rusty Russell: "This is the final removal (after several years!) of the obsolete cpus_* functions, prompted by their mis-use in staging. With these function removed, all cpu functions should only iterate to nr_cpu_ids, so we finally only allocate that many bits when cpumasks are allocated offstack" * tag 'cpumask-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: (25 commits) cpumask: remove __first_cpu / __next_cpu cpumask: resurrect CPU_MASK_CPU0 linux/cpumask.h: add typechecking to cpumask_test_cpu cpumask: only allocate nr_cpumask_bits.

cpumask: remove deprecated functions.

2015-03-10T03:24:41Z

Using these functions with offstack cpus is unsafe. They use all NR_CPUS bits, unstead of nr_cpumask_bits. In particular, lustre (in staging) used cpus_ and that caused a bug. Reported-by: Oleg Drokin Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Keyword 'boolean' for type definition attributes is considered deprecated and, therefore, should not be used anymore.
