The following warning:

    ACPI0012:00: security event setup failed: -19

...is meant to capture exceptional failures of sysfs_get_dirent(),
however it will also fail in the common case when security support is
disabled. A few issues:

1/ A dev_warn() report for a common case is too chatty
2/ The setup of this notifier is generic, no need for it to be driven
   from the nfit driver, it can exist completely in the core.
3/ If it fails for any reason besides security support being disabled,
   that's fatal and should abort DIMM activation. Userspace may hang if
   it never gets overwrite notifications.
4/ The dirent needs to be released.

Move the call to the core 'dimm' driver, make it conditional on security
support being active, make it fatal for the exceptional case, add the
missing sysfs_put() at device disable time.

Fixes: 7d988097c546 ("...Add security DSM overwrite support")

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The vast bulk of this update is the new support for the security
  capabilities of some nvdimms.

  The userspace tooling for this capability is still a work in progress,
  but the changes survive the existing libnvdimm unit tests. The changes
  also pass manual checkout on hardware and the new nfit_test emulation
  of the security capability.

  The touches of the security/keys/ files have received the necessary
  acks from Mimi and David. Those changes were necessary to allow for a
  new generic encrypted-key type, and allow the nvdimm sub-system to
  lookup key material referenced by the libnvdimm-sysfs interface.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the security features of nvdimm devices that
     implement a security model similar to ATA hard drive security. The
     security model supports locking access to the media at
     device-power-loss, to be unlocked with a passphrase, and
     secure-erase (crypto-scramble).

     Unlike the ATA security case where the kernel expects device
     security to be managed in a pre-OS environment, the libnvdimm
     security implementation allows key provisioning and key-operations
     at OS runtime. Keys are managed with the kernel's encrypted-keys
     facility to provide data-at-rest security for the libnvdimm key
     material. The usage model mirrors fscrypt key management, but is
     driven via libnvdimm sysfs.

   - Miscellaneous updates for api usage and comment fixes"

<title>mm, devm_memremap_pages: fix shutdown handling</title>

<content type='text'>
The last step before devm_memremap_pages() returns success is to allocate
a release action, devm_memremap_pages_release(), to tear the entire setup
down.  However, the result from devm_add_action() is not checked.

Checking the error from devm_add_action() is not enough.  The api
currently relies on the fact that the percpu_ref it is using is killed by
the time the devm_memremap_pages_release() is run.  Rather than continue
this awkward situation, offload the responsibility of killing the
percpu_ref to devm_memremap_pages_release() directly.  This allows
devm_memremap_pages() to do the right thing relative to init failures and
shutdown.

Without this change we could fail to register the teardown of
devm_memremap_pages().  The likelihood of hitting this failure is tiny as
small memory allocations almost always succeed.  However, the impact of
the failure is large given any future reconfiguration, or disable/enable,
of an nvdimm namespace will fail forever as subsequent calls to
devm_memremap_pages() will fail to setup the pgmap_radix since there will
be stale entries for the physical address range.

An argument could be made to require that the -&gt;kill() operation be set in
the @pgmap arg rather than passed in separately.  However, it helps code
readability, tracking the lifetime of a given instance, to be able to grep
the kill routine directly at the devm_memremap_pages() call site.

The security implementation is too chatty. For example, the common case
is that security is not enabled / setup, and booting a qemu
configuration currently yields:

    nvdimm nmem0: request_key() found no key
    nvdimm nmem0: failed to unlock dimm: -126
    nvdimm nmem1: request_key() found no key
    nvdimm nmem1: failed to unlock dimm: -126

Convert all security related log messages to debug level.

Add nfit_test support for DSM functions "Get Security State",
"Set Passphrase", "Disable Passphrase", "Unlock Unit", "Freeze Lock",
and "Secure Erase" for the fake DIMMs.

Also adding a sysfs knob in order to put the DIMMs in "locked" state. The
order of testing DIMM unlocking would be.
1a. Disable DIMM X.
1b. Set Passphrase to DIMM X.
2. Write to
/sys/devices/platform/nfit_test.0/nfit_test_dimm/test_dimmX/lock_dimm
3. Renable DIMM X
4. Check DIMM X state via sysfs "security" attribute for nmemX.

Add nfit_test support for DSM functions "Get Security State",
"Set Passphrase", "Disable Passphrase", "Unlock Unit", "Freeze Lock",
and "Secure Erase" for the fake DIMMs.

Also adding a sysfs knob in order to put the DIMMs in "locked" state. The
order of testing DIMM unlocking would be.
1a. Disable DIMM X.
1b. Set Passphrase to DIMM X.
2. Write to
/sys/devices/platform/nfit_test.0/nfit_test_dimm/test_dimmX/lock_dimm
3. Renable DIMM X
4. Check DIMM X state via sysfs "security" attribute for nmemX.

With Intel DSM 1.8 [1] two new security DSMs are introduced. Enable/update
master passphrase and master secure erase. The master passphrase allows
a secure erase to be performed without the user passphrase that is set on
the NVDIMM. The commands of master_update and master_erase are added to
the sysfs knob in order to initiate the DSMs. They are similar in opeartion
mechanism compare to update and erase.

<title>acpi/nfit, libnvdimm/security: Add security DSM overwrite support</title>

Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL "ovewrite" capability as
described by the Intel DSM spec v1.7. This will allow triggering of
overwrite on Intel NVDIMMs. The overwrite operation can take tens of
minutes. When the overwrite DSM is issued successfully, the NVDIMMs will
be unaccessible. The kernel will do backoff polling to detect when the
overwrite process is completed. According to the DSM spec v1.7, the 128G
NVDIMMs can take up to 15mins to perform overwrite and larger DIMMs will
take longer.

Given that overwrite puts the DIMM in an indeterminate state until it
completes introduce the NDD_SECURITY_OVERWRITE flag to prevent other
operations from executing when overwrite is happening. The
NDD_WORK_PENDING flag is added to denote that there is a device reference
on the nvdimm device for an async workqueue thread context.
