nfit_test mock module stops compiling. Rename its security_init() to
nfit_security_init().

<title>nvdimm/blk: Delete the block-aperture window driver</title>

<content type='text'>
Block Aperture Window support was an attempt to layer an error model
over PMEM for platforms that did not support machine-check-recovery.
However, it was abandoned before it ever shipped, and only ever existed
in the ACPI specification. Meanwhile Linux has carried a large pile of
dead code for non-shipping infrastructure. For years it has been off to
the side out of the way, but now CXL and recent directions with DAX
support have the potential to collide with this code.

In preparation for adding discontiguous namespace support, a
pre-requisite for the nvdimm subsystem to replace device-mapper for
striping + concatenation use cases, delete BLK aperture support.

On the obscure chance that some hardware vendor shipped support for this
mode, note that the driver will still keep BLK space reserved in the
label area. So an end user in this case would still have the opportunity
to report the regression to get BLK-mode support restored without
risking the data they have on that device.

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.

Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".

The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:

- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+

As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

<title>ACPI: NFIT: Fix support for variable 'SPA' structure size</title>

<content type='text'>
ACPI 6.4 introduced the "SpaLocationCookie" to the NFIT "System Physical
Address (SPA) Range Structure". The presence of that new field is
indicated by the ACPI_NFIT_LOCATION_COOKIE_VALID flag. Pre-ACPI-6.4
firmware implementations omit the flag and maintain the original size of
the structure.

Update the implementation to check that flag to determine the size
rather than the ACPI 6.4 compliant definition of 'struct
acpi_nfit_system_address' from the Linux ACPICA definitions.

Update the test infrastructure for the new expectations as well, i.e.
continue to emulate the ACPI 6.3 definition of that structure.

Without this fix the kernel fails to validate 'SPA' structures and this
leads to a crash in nfit_get_smbios_id() since that routine assumes that
SPAs are valid if it finds valid SMBIOS tables.

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffffffffa8
