[ Upstream commit e5d772fbe7685aae0dff99f3b54158a0ec32155e ]

In addition to populating the value the payload also needs to set the
"controller temperature valid" flag.

[ Upstream commit 45df5d3dc0c7289c1e67afe6d2ba806ad5174314 ]

The mock / test version of pmem_direct_access() needs to check the
validity of pointers kaddr and pfn for NULL assignment. If anyone
equals to NULL, it doesn't need to calculate the value.

If pointer equals to NULL, that is to say callers may have no need for
kaddr or pfn, so this patch is prepared for allowing them to pass in
NULL instead of having to pass in a local pointer or variable that
they then just throw away.

<title>tools/testing/nvdimm: advertise a write cache for nfit_test</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 546eb0317cfa "libnvdimm, pmem: Do not flush power-fail protected CPU caches"
fixed the write_cache detection to correctly show the lack of a write
cache based on the platform capabilities described in the ACPI NFIT. The
nfit_test unit tests expected a write cache to be present, so change the
nfit test namespaces to only advertise a persistence domain limited to
the memory controller. This allows the kernel to show a write_cache
attribute, and the test behaviour remains unchanged.

<title>x86, nfit_test: Add unit test for memcpy_mcsafe()</title>

<content type='text'>
Given the fact that the ACPI "EINJ" (error injection) facility is not
universally available, implement software infrastructure to validate the
memcpy_mcsafe() exception handling implementation.

For each potential read exception point in memcpy_mcsafe(), inject a
emulated exception point at the address identified by 'mcsafe_inject'
variable. With this infrastructure implement a test to validate that the
'bytes remaining' calculation is correct for a range of various source
buffer alignments.

This code is compiled out by default. The CONFIG_MCSAFE_DEBUG
configuration symbol needs to be manually enabled by editing
Kconfig.debug. I.e. this functionality can not be accidentally enabled
by a user / distro, it's only for development.

The default value for smart ctrl_temperature was the same as the
threshold for ctrl_temperature. As a result, any arbitrary smart
injection to the nfit_test dimm could cause this alarm to trigger
and cause an acpi notification. Drop the default value to below the
threshold, so that unrelated injections don't trigger notifications.

Add support for the smart injection command in the nvdimm unit test
framework. This allows for directly injecting to smart fields and flags
that are supported in the injection command. If the injected values are
past the threshold, then an acpi notification is also triggered.
