The NVDIMM code in the kernel supports an IOCTL interface to user
space based upon the Intel Example DSM:
http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This interface cannot be used by other NVDIMM DSMs that support
incompatible functions.
This patch set adds a generic "passthru" IOCTL interface which
is not tied to a particular DSM.
A new _IOC_NR ND_CMD_CALL_DSM == "10" is added for the pass thru call.
The new data structure nd_cmd_dsmcall_pkg serves as a wrapper for
the passthru calls. This wrapper supplies the data that the kernel
needs to make the _DSM call.
Unlike the definitions of the _DSM functions themselves, the nd_cmd_dsmcall_pkg
provides the calling information (input/output sizes) in an uniform
manner making the kernel marshaling of the arguments straight
forward.
This shifts the marshaling burden from the kernel to the user
space application while still permitting the kernel to internally
call _DSM functions.
The kernel functions __nd_ioctl and acpi_nfit_ctl were modified
to accomodate ND_CMD_CALL_DSM.
These changes are based upon the 4.3 kernel.
Changes in version 4:
---------------------
0. Added patch to correct parameter type passed to acpi_evaluate_dsm
ACPI defines arguments rev and fun as 64 bit quanties and the ioctl
exports to user face rev and func. We want those to match the ACPI spec.
Also modified acpi_evaluate_dsm_typed and acpi_check dsm which had
similar issue.
1. nd_cmd_dsmcall_pkg rearange a reserve and rounded up total size
to 16 byte boundary.
2. Created stand alone patch for the pre-existing security issue related
to "read only" IOCTL calls.
3. Added patch for increasing envelope size of IOCTL. Needed to
be able to read in the wrapper to know remaining size to copy in.
Note: in_env, out_env are statics sized based upon this change.
4. Moved copyin code to table driven nd_cmd_desc
Note, the last 40 lines or so of acpi_nfit_ctl will not return _DSM
data unless the size allocated in user space buffer equals
out_obj->buffer.length.
The semantic we want in the pass thru case is to return as much
of the _DSM data as the user space buffer would accomodate.
Hence, in acpi_nfit_ctl I have retained the line:
memcpy(pkg->dsm_buf + pkg->h.dsm_in,
out_obj->buffer.pointer,
min(pkg->h.dsm_size, pkg->h.dsm_out));
and the early return from the function.
Changes in version 3:
---------------------
1. Changed name ND_CMD_PASSTHRU to ND_CMD_CALL_DSM.
2. Value of ND_CMD_CALL_DSM is 10, not 100.
3. Changed name of nd_passthru_pkg to nd_cmd_dsmcall_pkg.
4. Removed separate functions for handling ND_CMD_CALL_DSM.
Moved functionality to __nd_ioctl and acpi_nfit_ctl proper.
The resultant code looks very different from prior versions.
5. BUGFIX: __nd_ioctl: Change the if read_only switch to use
_IOC_NR cmd (not ioctl_cmd) for better protection.
Do we want to make a stand alone patch for this issue?
Changes in version 2:
---------------------
1. Cleanup access mode check in nd_ioctl and nvdimm_ioctl.
2. Change name of ndn_pkg to nd_passthru_pkg
3. Adjust sizes in nd_passthru_pkg. DSM intergers are 64 bit.
4. No new ioctl type, instead tunnel into the existing number space.
5. Push down one function level where determine ioctl cmd type.
6. re-work diagnostic print/dump message in pass-thru functions.

1.7.11.3
The ACPI spec speicifies that arguments "Revision ID" and
"Function Index" to a _DSM are type "Integer." Type Integers
are 64 bit quantities.
The function evaluate_dsm specifies these types as simple "int"
which are 32 bits. Correct type passed to acpi_evaluate_dsm
and its callers and derived callers to pass correct type.
acpi_check_dsm and acpi_evaluate_dsm_typed had similar issue
and were corrected as well.

Code attempts to prevent certain IOCTL DSM from being called
when device is opened read only. This security feature can
be trivially overcome by changing the size portion of the
ioctl_command which isn't used.
Check only the _IOC_NR (i.e. the command).

The changes look OK to me, but this is not ACPICA material.
Please change the subject to something like "ACPI / utils: Fix
acpi_evaluate_dsm() argument type".
