- Add infrastructure for supporting background commands along with
support for device sanitization and firmware update
- Introduce a CXL performance monitoring unit driver based on the common
definition in the specification.
- Land some preparatory cleanup and refactoring for the anticipated
arrival of CXL type-2 (accelerator devices) and CXL RCH (CXL-v1.1
topology) error handling.
- Rework CPU cache management with respect to region configuration
(device hotplug or other dynamic changes to memory interleaving)
- Fix region reconfiguration vs CXL decoder ordering rules.

Pull CXL updates from Dan Williams:
"The highlights in terms of new functionality are support for the
standard CXL Performance Monitor definition that appeared in CXL 3.0,
support for device sanitization (wiping all data from a device),
secure-erase (re-keying encryption of user data), and support for
firmware update. The firmware update support is notable as it reuses
the simple sysfs_upload interface to just cat(1) a blob to a sysfs
file and pipe that to the device.
Additionally there are a substantial number of cleanups and
reorganizations to get ready for RCH error handling (RCH == Restricted
CXL Host == current shipping hardware generation / pre CXL-2.0
topologies) and type-2 (accelerator / vendor specific) devices.
For vendor specific devices they implement a subset of what the
generic type-3 (generic memory expander) driver expects. As a result
the rework decouples optional infrastructure from the core driver
context.
For RCH topologies, where the specification working group did not want
to confuse pre-CXL-aware operating systems, many of the standard
registers are hidden which makes support standard bus features like
AER (PCIe Advanced Error Reporting) difficult. The rework arranges for
the driver to help the PCI-AER core. Bjorn is on board with this
direction but a late regression disocvery means the completion of this
functionality needs to cook a bit longer, so it is code
reorganizations only for now.
Summary:
- Add infrastructure for supporting background commands along with
support for device sanitization and firmware update
- Introduce a CXL performance monitoring unit driver based on the
common definition in the specification.
- Land some preparatory cleanup and refactoring for the anticipated
arrival of CXL type-2 (accelerator devices) and CXL RCH (CXL-v1.1
topology) error handling.
- Rework CPU cache management with respect to region configuration
