Commit Message

Add support for H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS described at [1] for
spapr nvdimms. This enables guest to fetch performance stats[2] like
expected life of an nvdimm ('MemLife ') etc and display them to the
user. Linux kernel support for fetching these performance stats and
exposing them to the user-space was done via [3].

The hcall semantics mandate that each nvdimm performance stats is
uniquely identied by a 8-byte ascii string encoded as an unsigned
integer (e.g 'MemLife ' == 0x4D656D4C69666520) and its value be a
8-byte unsigned integer. These performance-stats are exchanged with
the guest in via a guest allocated buffer called
'requestAndResultBuffer' or rr-buffer for short. This buffer contains
a header descibed by 'struct papr_scm_perf_stats' followed by an array
of performance-stats described by 'struct papr_scm_perf_stat'. The
hypervisor is expected to validate the rr-buffer header and then based
on the request copy the needed performance-stats to the array of
'struct papr_scm_perf_stat' following the header.

The patch proposes a new function h_scm_performance_stats() that
services the H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall. After verifying the
validity of the rr-buffer header via scm_perf_check_rr_buffer() it
proceeds to fill the rr-buffer with requested performance-stats. The
value of individual stats is retrived from individual accessor
function for the stat which are indexed in the array
'nvdimm_perf_stats'.

Changelog

Since RFC-v3:
* Introduced consistent types 'perf_stat_id/val' for handling
  perf-stats in code rather than switching between u64 and char[8]. [
  David Gibson ]
* Removed a redundant temporary variable 'stat_id' usage from
  nvdimm_stat_getval() [ David Gibson ]
* Move the tests for buffer sizes around to a a central place in
  h_scm_performance_stats() [ David Gibson ]
* Update the allocation size/type of rr-buffer in
  h_scm_performance_stats [ David Gibson, Groug ]
* Reworked the loop for generating canned-response in
  h_scm_performance_stats().
* Reworked logic for returning an unknown stat-id in h_scm_performance_stats().

Since RFC-v2:
* s/SCM_STATS_MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER/SCM_STATS_MIN_OUTPUT_BUFFER/ thats the
  minimum size buffer needed to return all supported performance
  stats. Value for this is derived from size of array 'nvdimm_perf_stats'
* Added SCM_STATS_MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER to indicate maximum supported
  rr-buffer size from a guest. Value for this is derived from hard
  limit of SCM_STATS_MAX_STATS.
* Updated scm_perf_check_rr_buffer() to add a check for max size of
  rr-buffer. [David]
* Updated scm_perf_check_rr_buffer() to removed a reduntant check for
  min size of rr-buffer [David]
* Updated h_scm_performance_stats() to have a single allocation for
  rr-buffer and copy it back to guest memory in a single shot. [David]

Since RFC-v1:
* Removed empty lines from code [ David ]
* Updated struct papr_scm_perf_stat to use uint64_t for
  statistic_id.
* Added a hard limit on max number of stats requested to 255 [ David ]
* Updated scm_perf_check_rr_buffer() to check for rr-buffer header
  size [ David ]
* Removed a redundant check from nvdimm_stat_getval() [ David ]
* Removed a redundant call to address_space_access_valid() in
  scm_perf_check_rr_buffer() [ David ]
* Instead of allocating a minimum size local buffer, allocate a max
  possible size local rr-buffer. [ David ]
* Updated nvdimm_stat_getval() to set 'val' to '0' on error. [ David ]
* Updated h_scm_performance_stats() to use a canned-response method
  for simplifying num_stats==0 case [ David ].

Looking fairly good now.  A few trivial nits, one remaining bug (I
suspect) and of course the fact that you don't yet have any
non-example stats to return.

Nit: linebreak before the macro body, like MAX_OUTPUT_BUFFER would be
more readable.

args[0] is effectively a return register, stored in *host native*
order, so I think you need a be64_to_cpu() here, though I guess you
need to check how PAPR says you're supposed to load the stat ids into
a register.
