git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
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.

The pcommit instruction is being deprecated in favor of either ADR
(asynchronous DRAM refresh: flush-on-power-fail) at the platform level, or
posted-write-queue flush addresses as defined by the ACPI 6.x NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table).

Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction
decoder used by Intel PT. The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in
a previous patch.
AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).
AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose
of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX
prefix.
Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be
further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of
new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly.
Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask
registers used in AVX-512 instructions.
A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new
instructions test in a subsequent patch.

vcvtph2ps does not have an immediate operand, so remove the erroneous
'Ib' from its opcode map entry. Add vcvtph2ps to the perf tools new

Add rdpkru and wrpkru to the op code map and the perf tools new
instructions test. In the case of the test, only the bytes can be
tested at the moment since binutils doesn't support the instructions
yet. To run the test:
$ tools/perf/perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ tools/perf/perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep pkru

The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM
opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd
registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel
opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for
everything else. That is fine because the instruction
decoder does not use that information anyway, except as
an indication that there is a ModR/M byte.
Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong
way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it
wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes.
This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions,
but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some
invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have
previously.
Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder
and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX
instructions e.g.
$ perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins"
Commiter notes:
And to see these MPX instructions specifically:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndldx | head -3
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 00 bndldx (%eax),%bnd0
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 05 78 56 34 12 bndldx 0x12345678,%bnd0
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 18 bndldx (%eax),%bnd3
$ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndstx | head -3
Decoded ok: 0f 1b 00 bndstx %bnd0,(%eax)
Decoded ok: 0f 1b 05 78 56 34 12 bndstx %bnd0,0x12345678
Decoded ok: 0f 1b 18 bndstx %bnd3,(%eax)

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.
