[PATCH 0/2] powerpc/papr_scm: add support for reporting NVDIMM 'life_used_percentage' metric

[Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.ibm.com>]

This small patchset implements kernel side support for reporting
'life_used_percentage' metric in NDCTL with dimm health output for
papr-scm NVDIMMs. With corresponding NDCTL side changes [1] output for
should be like:

$ sudo ndctl list -DH
[
  {
    "dev":"nmem0",
    "health":{
      "health_state":"ok",
      "life_used_percentage":0,
      "shutdown_state":"clean"
    }
  }
]

PHYP supports H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall through which an LPAR can
fetch various performance stats including 'fuel_gauge' percentage for
an NVDIMM. 'fuel_gauge' metric indicates the usable life remaining of
an NVDIMM expressed as percentage and  'life_used_percentage' can be
calculated as 'life_used_percentage = 100 - fuel_gauge'.

Structure of the patchset
=========================
First patch implements necessary scaffolding needed to issue the
H_SCM_PERFORMANCE_STATS hcall and fetch performance stats
catalogue. The patch also implements support for 'perf_stats' sysfs
attribute to report the full catalogue of supported performance stats
by PHYP.

Second and final patch implements support for sending this value to
libndctl by extending the PAPR_PDSM_HEALTH pdsm payload to add a new
field named 'dimm_fuel_gauge' to it.
