PMDK Version 1.12.1-rc1

* Version 1.12.1-rc1

- common: Allow long links in commit messages
- common: Do not run self-hosted jobs on forks
- obj: always perform cleanup of logs with leftover state
- pmem2: actually skip msync with noflush on non-pmem
- pmem2: make sure async functions use proper vdm flags
- common: fix default cflags in makefiles
- obj: ensure zones are reclaimed prior to free
- pmem2: enable movdir64b compilation but disable it in the runtime

PMDK Version 1.12.0

This release:
- Deprecates librpmem library and rpmemd tool.
Using the librpmem library API will result in warnings
and is no longer recommended. Those interested in a remote
persistent memory support should use the new rpma library.
- Introduces a new set of APIs in libpmem2 to perform asynchronous data
movement operations. To use this feature, software needs to include an
optional miniasync(7) dependency.
- Adds new API to machine safe read/write operations in the pmem2 library.
- Introduces support for movdir64b instruction for memory operation
functions in the libpmem2 library.
- Adds experimental support for RISC-V.

Other changes and notable bug fixes:
- common: supress false positve of '-Wunused-parameter'
- examples: remove unnecessary persists in pminvaders
- obj: fix invalid type when setting cache size ctl (pmem/issues#5291)
- pmem: fix eADR memmove and memset (pmem/issues#5364)
- pmem2: add addr alignment prediction to vm reservation
- pmreorder: update docs with required last arg - file_name
- pmreorder: add more debug/info logs

PMDK Version 1.9.3

This release fixes a missing sfence in non-temporal version of memcpy function (#5292), and fixes a number of smaller bugs.

Detailed list of bug fixes:
- common: add disable lto to cflags
- common: fix missing sfence in non-temporal memcpy

PMDK Version 1.11.0

This release:

• Adds new APIs for libpmem2, most notably there are new functions to shrink and extend an existing reservation and a new iterator API for mappings contained within an existing reservation. There's also a new function to retrieve a numa node for a source.
• Makes the pmemobj_open() and pmemobj_close() functions from libpmemobj thread-safe. It's now easier to correctly manage persistent memory pools in a parallel environment.
• Introduces a new API in libpmemobj to globally change the method of assigning arenas to threads. The default is to rely on an OS per-thread key to store arena information. This release introduces an option to avoid the use of thread-local keys by simply using one global arena for all threads in a pool.

Other changes and notable bug fixes:

• pmem2: don't force smaller alignment for fsdax mappings
• rpmem: various fixes for powerpc64le
• doc: fix documentation of pmem_is_pmem()
• common: fix various minor problems found by static analysis
• pmem2: arm64: fix possible data loss on ARMv8.2+ (improper flushing)

This release introduces no changes to the on-media layout and is fully compatible with the previous version of PMDK.

PMDK Version 1.10

This release introduces a new stable PMDK library, libpmem2, which
is the next major release of libpmem.
This library has an entirely new, but familiar API that addresses many
shortcomings of the previous version while retaining all of its
functionality. To learn more, see https://pmem.io/pmdk/libpmem2/ or
libpmem2(7).
The old library, libpmem, is still going to be maintained for the
foreseeable future, but we'd like to encourage any new applications to
leverage libpmem2.
