Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
- Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.
ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
to the memory controller on a power-fail event.
Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
flushed to media.
- On-demand ARS (address range scrub).
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
re-scrub at any time.
- Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
format.
- Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

The pcommit instruction is being deprecated in favor of either ADR
(asynchronous DRAM refresh: flush-on-power-fail) at the platform level, or
posted-write-queue flush addresses as defined by the ACPI 6.x NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table).

Add support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to perf tools instruction
decoder used by Intel PT. The kernel's instruction decoder was updated in
a previous patch.
AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction Set
Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).
AVX-512 instructions are identified by a EVEX prefix which, for the purpose
of instruction decoding, can be treated as though it were a 4-byte VEX
prefix.
Existing instructions which can now accept an EVEX prefix need not be
further annotated in the op code map (x86-opcode-map.txt). In the case of
new instructions, the op code map is updated accordingly.
Also add associated Mask Instructions that are used to manipulate mask
registers used in AVX-512 instructions.
A representative set of instructions is added to the perf tools new
instructions test in a subsequent patch.

The check for the maximum code is off-by-one; the current comparison of
a code that is INTEL_PT_ERR_MAX will cause the strlcpy to perform an out
of bounds array access on the intel_pt_err_msgs array.

When running objtool on a ppc64le host to analyze x86 binaries, it
reports a lot of false warnings like:
ipc/compat_mq.o: warning: objtool: compat_SyS_mq_open()+0x91: can't find jump dest instruction at .text+0x3a5
The warnings are caused by the x86 instruction decoder setting the wrong
value for the jump instruction's immediate field because it assumes that
"char == signed char", which isn't true for all architectures. When
converting char to int, gcc sign-extends on x86 but doesn't sign-extend
on ppc64le.
According to the gcc man page, that's a feature, not a bug:
> Each kind of machine has a default for what "char" should be. It is
> either like "unsigned char" by default or like "signed char" by
> default.
>
> Ideally, a portable program should always use "signed char" or
> "unsigned char" when it depends on the signedness of an object.
Conform to the "standards" by changing the "char" casts to "signed
char". This results in no actual changes to the object code on x86.
Note: the x86 decoder now lives in three different locations in the
kernel tree, which are all kept in sync via makefile checks and
warnings: in-kernel, perf, and objtool. This fixes all three locations.
Eventually we should probably try to at least converge the two separate
"tools" locations into a single shared location.

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to
change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the
logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to
the top byte.
The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the
addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will
loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that
would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong.
And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are
processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has
gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in
the while loop it will be.
Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM
opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd
registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel
opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for
everything else. That is fine because the instruction
decoder does not use that information anyway, except as
an indication that there is a ModR/M byte.
Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong
way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it
wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes.
This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions,
but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some
invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have
previously.
Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder
and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX
instructions e.g.
$ perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins"
Commiter notes:
And to see these MPX instructions specifically:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndldx | head -3

perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel.
The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with
the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are
differences.
This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done
on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note
that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal.
The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like
a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to
be re-compiled. e.g.
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
$ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
Warning: Intel PT: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null

CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
last CYC packet.
This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related
to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR
(core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply
interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC
or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach.
Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation
for decoding MTC and CYC packets. Pass the information to the decoder.
The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate
the presence of new members.
The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC
to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new
packet definitions.
This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS,
TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined.
This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add
support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those
packets are explained.
VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which
is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder
should ignore.
For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

The period on synthesized 'instructions' samples was being set to a
fixed value, whereas the correct value is the number of instructions
since the last sample, which is a value that the decoder can provide.
So do it that way.

Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.
Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.
The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding. The log is
intended for debugging purposes only.
The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current
directory. The log contains a record of all packets and instructions
decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace. The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.
