Given ambiguities in the ACPI 6.1 definition of the "Output (Size)"
field of the ARS (Address Range Scrub) Status command, a firmware
implementation may in practice return 0, 4, or 8 to indicate that there
is no output payload to process.

The specification states "Size of Output Buffer in bytes, including this
field.". However, 'Output Buffer' is also the name of the entire
payload, and earlier in the specification it states "Max Query ARS
Status Output Buffer Size: Maximum size of buffer (including the Status
and Extended Status fields)".

Without this fix if the BIOS happens to return 0 it causes memory
corruption as evidenced by this result from the acpi_nfit_ctl() unit
test.

<title>nvdimm: make CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX 'bool'</title>

<content type='text'>
A bugfix just tried to address a randconfig build problem and introduced
a variant of the same problem: with CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=y and
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=m, the nvdimm module now fails to link:

drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `to_nd_device_type':
bus.c:(.text+0x1b5d): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_notify_driver_action.constprop.2':
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b6c): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
region_devs.c:(.text+0x6b8c): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nd_region_probe':
region.c:(.text+0x70f3): undefined reference to `nd_dax_create'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `mode_show':
namespace_devs.c:(.text+0xa196): undefined reference to `is_nd_dax'
drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':

drivers/nvdimm/built-in.o: In function `nvdimm_namespace_common_probe':
(.text+0xa56e): undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'

This reverts the earlier fix, making NVDIMM_DAX a 'bool' option again
as it should be (it gets linked into the libnvdimm module). To fix
the original problem, I'm adding a dependency on LIBNVDIMM to
DEV_DAX_PMEM, which ensures we can't have that one built-in if the
rest is a module.

<title>pmem: report error on clear poison failure</title>

ACPI Clear Uncorrectable Error DSM function may fail or may be
unsupported on a platform.  pmem_clear_poison() returns without clearing
badblocks in such cases.  This failure is detected at the next read
(-EIO).

This behavior can lead to an issue when user keeps writing but does not
read immediately.  For instance, flight recorder file may be only read
when it is necessary for troubleshooting.

Change pmem_do_bvec() and pmem_clear_poison() to return -EIO so that
filesystem can log an error message on a write error.

The function dax_pmem_probe() in drivers/dax/pmem.c is compiled under the
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM tri-state config option.  This config option currently
only depends on CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX, a bool, which means that the following
configuration is possible:

CONFIG_LIBNVDIMM=m
...
CONFIG_NVDIMM_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX=y
CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM=y

With this config LIBNVDIMM is compiled as a module with NVDIMM_DAX=y just
meaning that we will compile drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c into that module.
However, dax_pmem_probe() depends on several symbols defined in
drivers/nvdimm/dax_devs.c, which results in the following build errors:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_probe':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:70: undefined reference to `to_nd_dax'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:74: undefined reference to
`nvdimm_namespace_common_probe'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:80: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_enable'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:81: undefined reference to `nvdimm_setup_pfn'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:84: undefined reference to `devm_nsio_disable'
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:122: undefined reference to `to_nd_region'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `dax_pmem_init':
linux/drivers/dax/pmem.c:147: undefined reference to `__nd_driver_register'

Fix this by making NVDIMM_DAX a tristate.  DEV_DAX_PMEM depends on
NVDIMM_DAX which depends on LIBNVDIMM.  Since they are all now tristates,
if LIBNVDIMM is built as a kernel module DEV_DAX_PMEM will be as well.
This prevents dax_devs.c from being built as a built-in while its
dependencies are in the libnvdimm.ko module.

Similar to BLK regions, publish new seed namespace devices to allow
unused PMEM region capacity to be consumed by additional namespaces.

Now that the rest of the infrastructure has been converted to handle
multi-pmem configurations, lift the artificial barrier at scan time.

Short-circuit doomed-to-fail label validation attempts by skipping
labels that are outside the given region.  For example a DIMM that has
multiple PMEM regions will waste time attempting to create namespaces
only to find that the interleave-set-cookie does not validate, e.g.:

    nd_region region6: invalid cookie in label: 73e608dc-47b9-4b2a-b5c7-2d55a32e0c2

Similar to how we skip BLK labels when performing PMEM validation we can
skip out-of-range labels early.
