Presently PAPR doesn't support injecting smart errors on an
NVDIMM. This makes testing the NVDIMM health reporting functionality
difficult as simulating NVDIMM health related events need a hacked up
qemu version.
To solve this problem this patch proposes simulating certain set of
NVDIMM health related events in papr_scm. Specifically 'fatal' health
state and 'dirty' shutdown state. These error can be injected via the
user-space 'ndctl-inject-smart(1)' command. With the proposed patch and
corresponding ndctl patches following command flow is expected:
$ sudo ndctl list -DH -d nmem0
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
# inject unsafe shutdown and fatal health error
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -Uf
...
"health_state":"fatal",
"shutdown_state":"dirty",
...
# uninject all errors
$ sudo ndctl inject-smart nmem0 -N
...
"health_state":"ok",
"shutdown_state":"clean",
...
The patch adds a new member 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' inside struct
papr_scm_priv which is then bitwise ANDed to the health bitmap fetched from the
hypervisor. The value for 'health_bitmap_inject_mask' is accessible from sysfs
at nmemX/papr/health_bitmap_inject.
A new PDSM named 'SMART_INJECT' is proposed that accepts newly
introduced 'struct nd_papr_pdsm_smart_inject' as payload thats
exchanged between libndctl and papr_scm to indicate the requested
smart-error states.
When the processing the PDSM 'SMART_INJECT', papr_pdsm_smart_inject()
constructs a pair or 'inject_mask' and 'clear_mask' bitmaps from the payload
and bit-blt it to the 'health_bitmap_inject_mask'. This ensures the after being
fetched from the hypervisor, the health_bitmap reflects requested smart-error
states.

In case performance stats for an nvdimm are not available, reading the
'perf_stats' sysfs file returns an -ENOENT error. A better approach is
to make the 'perf_stats' file entirely invisible to indicate that
performance stats for an nvdimm are unavailable.
So this patch updates 'papr_nd_attribute_group' to add a 'is_visible'
callback implemented as newly introduced 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()'
that returns an appropriate mode in case performance stats aren't
supported in a given nvdimm.
Also the initialization of 'papr_scm_priv.stat_buffer_len' is moved
from papr_scm_nvdimm_init() to papr_scm_probe() so that it value is
available when 'papr_nd_attribute_visible()' is called during nvdimm
initialization.
Even though 'perf_stats' attribute is available since v5.9, there are
no known user-space tools/scripts that are dependent on presence of its
sysfs file. Hence I dont expect any user-space breakage with this
patch.

Update papr_scm.c to query dimm performance statistics from PHYP via
H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall and export them to user-space as PAPR
specific NVDIMM attribute 'perf_stats' in sysfs. The patch also
provide a sysfs ABI documentation for the stats being reported and
their meanings.
During NVDIMM probe time in papr_scm_nvdimm_init() a special variant
of H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall is issued to check if collection of
performance statistics is supported or not. If successful then a PHYP
returns a maximum possible buffer length needed to read all
performance stats. This returned value is stored in a per-nvdimm
attribute 'stat_buffer_len'.
The layout of request buffer for reading NVDIMM performance stats from
PHYP is defined in 'struct papr_scm_perf_stats' and 'struct
papr_scm_perf_stat'. These structs are used in newly introduced
drc_pmem_query_stats() that issues the H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall.
The sysfs access function perf_stats_show() uses value
'stat_buffer_len' to allocate a buffer large enough to hold all
possible NVDIMM performance stats and passes it to
drc_pmem_query_stats() to populate. Finally statistics reported in the
buffer are formatted into the sysfs access function output buffer.

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.
