libnvdimm for 4.15
* Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be
required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before
the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively
every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before
returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping
type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the
filesystem's ->mmap() file operation.
* Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This
enables interoperability with environments that only implement the
standardized methods.
* Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.
* Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch
last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and
SMART alarm threshold control.
* Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.
* Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
dynamic unlock of the label area.
* Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
(system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.
