treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

ACPI: NFIT: Define runtime firmware activation commands

Platform reboots are expensive. Towards reducing downtime to apply
firmware updates the Intel NVDIMM command definition is growing support
for applying live firmware updates that only require temporarily
suspending memory traffic instead of a full reboot.

Follow-on commits add support for triggering firmware activation, this
patch only defines the commands, adds probe support, and validates that
they are blocked via the ioctl path. The ioctl-path block ensures that
the OS is in charge since these commands have side effects only the OS
can handle. Specifically firmware activation may cause the memory
controller to be quiesced on the order of 100s of milliseconds. In that
case Linux ensure the activation only takes place while the OS is in a
suspend state.

libnvdimm: Validate command family indices

The ND_CMD_CALL format allows for a general passthrough of passlisted
commands targeting a given command set. However there is no validation
of the family index relative to what the bus supports.

- Update the NFIT bus implementation (the only one that supports
ND_CMD_CALL passthrough) to also passlist the valid set of command
family indices.

- Update the generic __nd_ioctl() path to validate that field on behalf
of all implementations.

ndctl/papr_scm,uapi: Add support for PAPR nvdimm specific methods

Introduce support for PAPR NVDIMM Specific Methods (PDSM) in papr_scm
module and add the command family NVDIMM_FAMILY_PAPR to the white list
of NVDIMM command sets. Also advertise support for ND_CMD_CALL for the
nvdimm command mask and implement necessary scaffolding in the module
to handle ND_CMD_CALL ioctl and PDSM requests that we receive.

The layout of the PDSM request as we expect from libnvdimm/libndctl is
described in newly introduced uapi header 'papr_pdsm.h' which
defines a 'struct nd_pkg_pdsm' and a maximal union named
'nd_pdsm_payload'. These new structs together with 'struct nd_cmd_pkg'
for a pdsm envelop thats sent by libndctl to libnvdimm and serviced by
papr_scm in 'papr_scm_service_pdsm()'. The PDSM request is
communicated by member 'struct nd_cmd_pkg.nd_command' together with
other information on the pdsm payload (size-in, size-out).

The patch also introduces 'struct pdsm_cmd_desc' instances of which
are stored in an array __pdsm_cmd_descriptors[] indexed with PDSM cmd
and corresponding access function pdsm_cmd_desc() is
introduced. 'struct pdsm_cdm_desc' holds the service function for a
given PDSM and corresponding payload in/out sizes.

A new function papr_scm_service_pdsm() is introduced and is called from
papr_scm_ndctl() in case of a PDSM request is received via ND_CMD_CALL
command from libnvdimm. The function performs validation on the PDSM
payload based on info present in corresponding PDSM descriptor and if
valid calls the 'struct pdcm_cmd_desc.service' function to service the
PDSM.

UAPI: ndctl: Fix g++-unsupported initialisation in headers

The following code in the linux/ndctl header file:

static inline const char *nvdimm_bus_cmd_name(unsigned cmd)
{
static const char * const names[] = {
[ND_CMD_ARS_CAP] = "ars_cap",
[ND_CMD_ARS_START] = "ars_start",
[ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS] = "ars_status",
[ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR] = "clear_error",
[ND_CMD_CALL] = "cmd_call",
};

if (cmd < ARRAY_SIZE(names) && names[cmd])
return names[cmd];
return "unknown";
}

is broken in a number of ways:

(1) ARRAY_SIZE() is not generally defined.

(2) g++ does not support "non-trivial" array initialisers fully yet.

(3) Every file that calls this function will acquire a copy of names[].

The same goes for nvdimm_cmd_name().

Fix all three by converting to a switch statement where each case returns a
string. That way if cmd is a constant, the compiler can trivially reduce it
and, if not, the compiler can use a shared lookup table if it thinks that is
more efficient.

A better way would be to remove these functions and their arrays from the
header entirely.

libnvdimm, namespace: make min namespace size 4K

The arbitrary 4MB minimum namespace size turns out to be too large for
some environments. Quoting Cheng-mean Liu:

In the case of emulated NVDIMM devices in the VM environment, there
are scenarios that NVDIMM device with much smaller sizes are
desired, for example, we might use a single enumerated NVDIMM DAX
device for representing each container layer, which in some cases
could be just a few KBs size.

PAGE_SIZE is the minimum where we can still support DAX of at least

nfit, libnvdimm: deprecate the generic SMART ioctl

The kernel's ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command is based on a payload
definition that has become broken / out-of-sync with recent versions of
the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL definition. Deprecate the use of the
ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD command in favor of the ND_CMD_CALL approach
taken by NVDIMM_FAMILY_{HPE,MSFT}, where we can manage the per-vendor
variance in userspace.

In a couple years, when the new scheme is widely deployed in userspace
packages, the ND_IOCTL_SMART_THRESHOLD support can be removed. For now
we prevent new binaries from compiling against the kernel header
definitions, but kernel still compatible with old binaries. The
libndctl.h [1] header is now the authoritative interface definition for
NVDIMM SMART.

nfit, libnvdimm: limited/whitelisted dimm command marshaling mechanism

There are currently 4 known similar but incompatible definitions of the
command sets that can be sent to an NVDIMM through ACPI. It is also
clear that future platform generations (ACPI or not) will continue to
revise and extend the DIMM command set as new devices and use cases
arrive.

It is obviously untenable to continue to proliferate divergence
of these command definitions, and to that end a standardization process
has begun to provide for a unified specification. However, that leaves a
problem about what to do with this first generation where vendors are
already shipping divergence.

The Linux kernel can support these initial diverged platforms without
giving platform-firmware free reign to continue to diverge and compound
kernel maintenance overhead. The kernel implementation can encourage
standardization in two ways:

1/ Require that any function code that userspace wants to send be
explicitly white-listed in the implementation. For ACPI this means
function codes marked as supported by acpi_check_dsm() may
only be invoked if they appear in the white-list. A function must be
publicly documented before it is added to the white-list.

2/ The above restrictions can be trivially bypassed by using the
"vendor-specific" payload command. However, since vendor-specific
commands are by definition not publicly documented and have the
potential to corrupt the kernel's view of the dimm state, we provide a
toggle to disable vendor-specific operations. Enabling undefined
behavior is a policy decision that can be made by the platform owner
and encourages firmware implementations to choose public over
private command implementations.

libnvdimm: support for legacy (non-aliasing) nvdimms

The libnvdimm region driver is an intermediary driver that translates
non-volatile "region"s into "namespace" sub-devices that are surfaced by
persistent memory block-device drivers (PMEM and BLK).

ACPI 6 introduces the concept that a given nvdimm may simultaneously
offer multiple access modes to its media through direct PMEM load/store
access, or windowed BLK mode. Existing nvdimms mostly implement a PMEM
interface, some offer a BLK-like mode, but never both as ACPI 6 defines.
If an nvdimm is single interfaced, then there is no need for dimm
metadata labels. For these devices we can take the region boundaries
directly to create a child namespace device (nd_namespace_io).

libnvdimm, nvdimm: dimm driver and base libnvdimm device-driver infrastructure

* Implement the device-model infrastructure for loading modules and
attaching drivers to nvdimm devices. This is a simple association of a
nd-device-type number with a driver that has a bitmask of supported
device types. To facilitate userspace bind/unbind operations 'modalias'
and 'devtype', that also appear in the uevent, are added as generic
sysfs attributes for all nvdimm devices. The reason for the device-type
number is to support sub-types within a given parent devtype, be it a
vendor-specific sub-type or otherwise.

* The first consumer of this infrastructure is the driver
for dimm devices. It simply uses control messages to retrieve and
store the configuration-data image (label set) from each dimm.

Note: nd_device_register() arranges for asynchronous registration of
nvdimm bus devices by default.

libnvdimm: control (ioctl) messages for nvdimm_bus and nvdimm devices

Most discovery/configuration of the nvdimm-subsystem is done via sysfs
attributes. However, some nvdimm_bus instances, particularly the
ACPI.NFIT bus, define a small set of messages that can be passed to the
platform. For convenience we derive the initial libnvdimm-ioctl command
formats directly from the NFIT DSM Interface Example formats.

ND_CMD_SMART: media health and diagnostics
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_SIZE: size of the label space
ND_CMD_GET_CONFIG_DATA: read label space
ND_CMD_SET_CONFIG_DATA: write label space
ND_CMD_VENDOR: vendor-specific command passthrough
ND_CMD_ARS_CAP: report address-range-scrubbing capabilities
ND_CMD_ARS_START: initiate scrubbing
ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS: report on scrubbing state
ND_CMD_SMART_THRESHOLD: configure alarm thresholds for smart events

If a platform later defines different commands than this set it is
straightforward to extend support to those formats.

Most of the commands target a specific dimm. However, the
address-range-scrubbing commands target the bus. The 'commands'
attribute in sysfs of an nvdimm_bus, or nvdimm, enumerate the supported
commands for that object.
