ACPI 6.4 introduced the "SpaLocationCookie" to the NFIT "System Physical
Address (SPA) Range Structure". The presence of that new field is
indicated by the ACPI_NFIT_LOCATION_COOKIE_VALID flag. Pre-ACPI-6.4
firmware implementations omit the flag and maintain the original size of
the structure.
Update the implementation to check that flag to determine the size
rather than the ACPI 6.4 compliant definition of 'struct
acpi_nfit_system_address' from the Linux ACPICA definitions.
Update the test infrastructure for the new expectations as well, i.e.
continue to emulate the ACPI 6.3 definition of that structure.
Without this fix the kernel fails to validate 'SPA' structures and this
leads to a crash in nfit_get_smbios_id() since that routine assumes that
SPAs are valid if it finds valid SMBIOS tables.

The current test module cannot be used for testing platforms (make check)
that do not have support for NFIT. In order to get the ndctl tests working,
we need a module which can emulate NVDIMM devices without relying on
ACPI/NFIT.
The aim of this proposed module is to implement a similar functionality to
the existing module but without the ACPI dependencies.
This RFC series is split into reviewable and compilable chunks.
This patch adds a new driver and registers two nvdimm bus needed for ndctl
make check.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Augment the existing firmware update emulation to track activations and
validate proper update vs activate sequencing.
The DIMM firmware activate capability has a concept of a maximum amount
of time platform firmware will quiesce the system relative to how many
DIMMs are being activated in parallel. Simulate that DIMM activation
happens serially, 1 second per-DIMM, and limit the max at 3 seconds. The
nfit_test0 bus emulates 5 DIMMs so it will take 2 activations to update
all DIMMs.

DSMs are strictly an ACPI mechanism, evict the bus_dsm_mask concept from
the generic 'struct nvdimm_bus_descriptor' object.
As a side effect the test facility ->bus_nfit_cmd_force_en is no longer
necessary. The test infrastructure can communicate that information
directly in ->bus_dsm_mask.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a
dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should
always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of
one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

That is because the kbuild file uses $(src) which points to
