Linus Torvalds d080827f85 libnvdimm for 4.5
1/ Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that originated
    in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a block device.
    This initial implementation is limited to being consulted in the pmem
    block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be consulted when creating
    dax mappings.
 
 2/ Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
    large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability to
    dax-mmap a block device directly.
 
 3/ Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all io-memory
    as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access while a driver is
    actively using an address range.  This behavior is controlled via the
    new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be overridden by the
    existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line option.
 
 4/ Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
    block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
def_bool y
source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
config X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP
bool "Enable verbose x86 bootup info messages"
default y
---help---
Enables the informational output from the decompression stage
(e.g. bzImage) of the boot. If you disable this you will still
see errors. Disable this if you want silent bootup.
config EARLY_PRINTK
bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
default y
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
port.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
unless you want to debug such a crash.
config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP
bool "Early printk via EHCI debug port"
depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the EHCI debug port.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
unless you want to debug such a crash. You need usb debug device.
config EARLY_PRINTK_EFI
bool "Early printk via the EFI framebuffer"
depends on EFI && EARLY_PRINTK
select FONT_SUPPORT
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the EFI framebuffer.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized.
config X86_PTDUMP_CORE
def_bool n
config X86_PTDUMP
tristate "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select DEBUG_FS
select X86_PTDUMP_CORE
---help---
Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
kernel.
If in doubt, say "N"
config EFI_PGT_DUMP
bool "Dump the EFI pagetable"
depends on EFI
select X86_PTDUMP_CORE
---help---
Enable this if you want to dump the EFI page table before
enabling virtual mode. This can be used to debug miscellaneous
issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that
table.
config DEBUG_RODATA
bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
default y
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
If in doubt, say "Y".
config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
depends on DEBUG_RODATA
default y
---help---
This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
If in doubt, say "N"
config DEBUG_WX
bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
depends on DEBUG_RODATA
select X86_PTDUMP_CORE
---help---
Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
or like this, if the check failed:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
If in doubt, say "Y".
config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO"
depends on MODULES
---help---
This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
against certain classes of kernel exploits.
If in doubt, say "N".
config DEBUG_NX_TEST
tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
---help---
This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
and the software setup of this feature.
If in doubt, say "N"
config DOUBLEFAULT
default y
bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EXPERT
---help---
This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
hair.
config DEBUG_TLBFLUSH
bool "Set upper limit of TLB entries to flush one-by-one"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
X86-only for now.
This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
If in doubt, say "N".
config IOMMU_DEBUG
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on X86_64
---help---
Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
list merging. Currently not recommended for production
code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
details.
config IOMMU_STRESS
bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
---help---
This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
testing.
config IOMMU_LEAK
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
---help---
Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
config HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT
def_bool y
config X86_DECODER_SELFTEST
bool "x86 instruction decoder selftest"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KPROBES
depends on !COMPILE_TEST
---help---
Perform x86 instruction decoder selftests at build time.
This option is useful for checking the sanity of x86 instruction
decoder code.
If unsure, say "N".

int
default "3"
choice
prompt "IO delay type"
default IO_DELAY_0X80
config IO_DELAY_0X80
bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
---help---
This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
config IO_DELAY_0XED
bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
---help---
Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
often used as a hardware-debug port.
config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
---help---
Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
config IO_DELAY_NONE
bool "no port-IO delay"
---help---
No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

config DEBUG_BOOT_PARAMS
bool "Debug boot parameters"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on DEBUG_FS
---help---
This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.
config CPA_DEBUG
bool "CPA self-test code"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.
config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
---help---
This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
is there to test gcc for this.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_ENTRY
bool "Debug low-level entry code"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
This option enables sanity checks in x86's low-level entry code.
Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
exits or otherwise impact performance.
This is currently used to help test NMI code.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_NMI_SELFTEST
bool "NMI Selftest"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && X86_LOCAL_APIC
---help---
Enabling this option turns on a quick NMI selftest to verify
that the NMI behaves correctly.
This might help diagnose strange hangs that rely on NMI to
function properly.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_IMR_SELFTEST
bool "Isolated Memory Region self test"
default n
depends on INTEL_IMR
---help---
This option enables automated sanity testing of the IMR code.
Some simple tests are run to verify IMR bounds checking, alignment
and overlapping. This option is really only useful if you are
debugging an IMR memory map or are modifying the IMR code and want to
test your changes.
If unsure say N here.
config X86_DEBUG_STATIC_CPU_HAS
bool "Debug alternatives"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
This option causes additional code to be generated which
fails if static_cpu_has() is used before alternatives have
run.
If unsure, say N.
config X86_DEBUG_FPU
bool "Debug the x86 FPU code"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default y
---help---
If this option is enabled then there will be extra sanity
checks and (boot time) debug printouts added to the kernel.
This debugging adds some small amount of runtime overhead
to the kernel.
If unsure, say N.
config PUNIT_ATOM_DEBUG
tristate "ATOM Punit debug driver"
select DEBUG_FS
select IOSF_MBI
---help---
This is a debug driver, which gets the power states
of all Punit North Complex devices. The power states of
each device is exposed as part of the debugfs interface.
The current power state can be read from
/sys/kernel/debug/punit_atom/dev_power_state
