Pull PCI updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
 "Enumeration changes:

   - Add _HPX Type 3 settings support, which gives firmware more
     influence over device configuration (Alexandru Gagniuc)

   - Support fixed bus numbers from bridge Enhanced Allocation
     capabilities (Subbaraya Sundeep)

   - Add "external-facing" DT property to identify cases where we
     require IOMMU protection against untrusted devices (Jean-Philippe
     Brucker)

   - Enable PCIe services for host controller drivers that use managed
     host bridge alloc (Jean-Philippe Brucker)

   - Log PCIe port service messages with pci_dev, not the pcie_device
     (Frederick Lawler)

     dynamic debug (Frederick Lawler)

  Peer-to-peer DMA:

   - Add whitelist of Root Complexes that support peer-to-peer DMA
     between Root Ports (Christian König)

  Native controller drivers:

   - Add PCI host bridge DMA ranges for bridges that can't DMA
     everywhere, e.g., iProc (Srinath Mannam)

   - Add Amazon Annapurna Labs PCIe host controller driver (Jonathan
     Chocron)

   - Fix Tegra MSI target allocation so DMA doesn't generate unwanted
     MSIs (Vidya Sagar)

   - Fix of_node reference leaks (Wen Yang)

   - Cleanup R-Car driver (Marek Vasut)

   - Cleanup Keystone driver (Kishon Vijay Abraham I)

The Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) header has different
field lengths than the existing parsing uses. Add the HMAT type to the
parsing rules so it may be generically parsed.

<title>acpi: Create subtable parsing infrastructure</title>

<content type='text'>
Parsing entries in an ACPI table had assumed a generic header
structure. There is no standard ACPI header, though, so less common
layouts with different field sizes required custom parsers to go through
their subtable entry list.

Create the infrastructure for adding different table types so parsing
the entries array may be more reused for all ACPI system tables and

Parsing entries in an ACPI table had assumed a generic header
structure. There is no standard ACPI header, though, so less common
layouts with different field sizes required custom parsers to go through
their subtable entry list.

Create the infrastructure for adding different table types so parsing
the entries array may be more reused for all ACPI system tables and
the common code doesn't need to be duplicated.

There is no more user of acpi_dev_get_first_match_name(),
which is deprecated and has no user left, so, remove it for good.

<title>ACPI / utils: Introduce acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() helper</title>

The acpi_dev_get_first_match_name() is missing put_device() call
and thus keeping reference counting unbalanced.

In order to fix the issue introduce a new helper to convert existing users
one-by-one to a better API.

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
  "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
  the core-mm as "System RAM".

  Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
  memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
  differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
  typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
  allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
  model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
  RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
  it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
  generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
  purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
  used to restore the memory assignment.

  One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
  data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
  NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
  at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
  requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
  administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
  lack security capable NVDIMMs.

  Summary:

   - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
     include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.

   - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range

   - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
     address-range to the core-mm.

   - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
     newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"

NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.

And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM.  The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.

Quoting Dan from another email:
 "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
  and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
  for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
  notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
  background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
  kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
  case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.

  I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
  tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
  making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
  the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
  possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
  application coordination"
