We add support for reporting 'fuel-gauge' NVDIMM metric via PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH pdsm payload. 'fuel-gauge' metric indicates the usage life remaining of a papr-scm compatible NVDIMM. PHYP exposes this metric via the H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS. The metric value is returned from the pdsm by extending the return payload 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_health' without breaking the ABI. A new field 'dimm_fuel_gauge' to hold the metric value is introduced at the end of the payload struct and its presence is indicated by by extension flag PDSM_DIMM_HEALTH_RUN_GAUGE_VALID. The patch introduces a new function papr_pdsm_fuel_gauge() that is called from papr_pdsm_health(). If fetching NVDIMM performance stats is supported then 'papr_pdsm_fuel_gauge()' allocated an output buffer large enough to hold the performance stat and passes it to drc_pmem_query_stats() that issues the HCALL to PHYP. The return value of the stat is then populated in the 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_health.dimm_fuel_gauge' field with extension flag 'PDSM_DIMM_HEALTH_RUN_GAUGE_VALID' set in 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_health.extension_flags' Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200731064153.182203-3-vaibhav@linux.ibm.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
