    powerpc/papr_scm: Fetch nvdimm health information from PHYP · b791abf3
    Vaibhav Jain authored
    Implement support for fetching nvdimm health information via
    H_SCM_HEALTH hcall as documented in Ref[1]. The hcall returns a pair
    of 64-bit bitmap, bitwise-and of which is then stored in
    'struct papr_scm_priv' and subsequently partially exposed to
    user-space via newly introduced dimm specific attribute
    'papr/flags'. Since the hcall is costly, the health information is
    cached and only re-queried, 60s after the previous successful hcall.
    
    The patch also adds a  documentation text describing flags reported by
    the the new sysfs attribute 'papr/flags' is also introduced at
    Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-papr-pmem.
