PMDK Version 1.12.1

• Version 1.12.1

This release allows using the movdir64b instruction by setting an
environment variable, and fixes a number of smaller bugs.

Detailed list of bug fixes:
- 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 1.12.1-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 1.11.0

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.
