powerpc/papr_scm: Implement initial support for injecting smart errors
Presently PAPR doesn't support injecting smart errors on an NVDIMM. This makes testing the NVDIMM health reporting functionality difficult as simulating NVDIMM health related events need a hacked up qemu version. To solve this problem this patch proposes simulating certain set of NVDIMM health related events in papr_scm. Specifically 'fatal' health state and 'dirty' shutdown state. These error can be injected via the user-space 'ndctl-inject-smart(1)' command. With the proposed patch and corresponding ndctl patches following command flow is expected: $ sudo ndctl list -DH -d nmem0 ... "health_state":"ok", "shutdown_state":"clean", ... # inject unsafe shutdown and fatal health error $ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -Uf ... "health_state":"fatal", "shutdown_state":"dirty", ... # uninject all errors $ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -N ... "health_state":"ok", "shutdown_state":"clean", ... The patch adds a new member 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' inside struct papr_scm_priv which is then bitwise ANDed to the health bitmap fetched from the hypervisor. The value for 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' is accessible from sysfs at nmemX/papr/health_bitmap_inject. A new PDSM named 'SMART_INJECT' is proposed that accepts newly introduced 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_smart_inject' as payload thats exchanged between libndctl and papr_scm to indicate the requested smart-error states. When the processing the PDSM 'SMART_INJECT', papr_pdsm_smart_inject() constructs a pair or 'inject_mask' and 'clear_mask' bitmaps from the payload and bit-blt it to the 'health_bitmap_inject_mask'. This ensures the after being fetched from the hypervisor, the health_bitmap reflects requested smart-error states. Signed-off-by:Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
