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"

With coming changes on x86-64, all dynamic debug descriptors in a
translation unit must have distinct names.  The macro _dynamic_func_call
takes care of that.  No functional change.

<content type='text'>
As discussed previously the best location for certain bus related bits,
e.g. I2C, is its own realm of the headers.

In order to uncontaminate acpi.h move the I2C bits to i2c.h.

There is no functional change intended.

As discussed previously the best location for certain bus related bits,
e.g. I2C, is its own realm of the headers.

In order to uncontaminate acpi.h move the I2C bits to i2c.h.

There is no functional change intended.

<title>acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node</title>

<content type='text'>
Persistent memory, as described by the ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table), is the first known instance of a memory range
described by a unique "target" proximity domain. Where "initiator" and
"target" proximity domains is an approach that the ACPI HMAT
(Heterogeneous Memory Attributes Table) uses to described the unique
performance properties of a memory range relative to a given initiator
(e.g. CPU or DMA device).

Currently the numa-node for a /dev/pmemX block-device or /dev/daxX.Y
char-device follows the traditional notion of 'numa-node' where the
attribute conveys the closest online numa-node. That numa-node attribute
is useful for cpu-binding and memory-binding processes *near* the
device. However, when the memory range backing a 'pmem', or 'dax' device
is onlined (memory hot-add) the memory-only-numa-node representing that
address needs to be differentiated from the set of online nodes. In
other words, the numa-node association of the device depends on whether
you can bind processes *near* the cpu-numa-node in the offline
device-case, or bind process *on* the memory-range directly after the
backing address range is onlined.

Allow for the case that platform firmware describes persistent memory
with a unique proximity domain, i.e. when it is distinct from the
proximity of DRAM and CPUs that are on the same socket. Plumb the Linux
numa-node translation of that proximity through the libnvdimm region
device to namespaces that are in device-dax mode. With this in place the
proposed kmem driver [1] can optionally discover a unique numa-node
number for the address range as it transitions the memory from an
offline state managed by a device-driver to an online memory range
managed by the core-mm.

Pull device properties framework updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This introduces 'software nodes' that are analogous to the DT and ACPI
  firmware nodes except that they can be created by drivers themselves
  and do a couple of assorted cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Introduce "software nodes", analogous to the DT and ACPI firmware
     nodes except that they can be created by kernel code, in order to
     complement fwnodes representing real firmware nodes when they are
     incomplete (for example missing device properties) and to supply
     the primary fwnode when the firmware lacks hardware description for
     a device completely, and replace the "property_set" struct
     fwnode_handle type with software nodes (Heikki Krogerus).

   - Clean up the just introduced software nodes support and fix a
     commet in the graph-handling code (Colin Ian King, Marco Felsch)"

* tag 'devprop-4.21-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
  device property: fix fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint() documentation
  drivers: base: swnode: remove need for a temporary string for the node name
  device property: Remove struct property_set
  device property: Move device_add_properties() to swnode.c
  drivers: base: Introducing software nodes to the firmware node framework
  ACPI / glue: Add acpi_platform_notify() function
  drivers core: Prepare support for multiple platform notifications
  driver core: platform: Remove duplicated device_remove_properties() call

     of secondary graphics adapters on some systems (Alex Hung).

   - Make it possible to build the ACPI subystem without PCI support
     (Sinan Kaya).

   - Make the SPCR table handling regard baud rate 0 in accordance with
     the specification of it and make the DSDT override code support

     driver for AMD SoCs (APD) (Jay Fang).

   - Fix the PM handling during device init in the ACPI driver for Intel
     SoCs (LPSS) (Hans de Goede).

   - Avoid double panic()s by clearing the APEI GHES block_status before
     panic() (Lenny Szubowicz).

   - Clean up a function invocation in the ACPI core and get rid of some
     code duplication by using the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro in the
     APEI support code (Alexey Dobriyan, Yangtao Li)"
