Preface: Preface: Advantages of NVDIMMs in servers. NVDIMMs provide high-speed DRAM performance coupled with flash-backed persistent storage. Aside from providing an additional memory tier in servers, NVDIMM persistence allows applications to continue processing I/O traffic during planned or unexpected system failures.

Background: Persistent Memory (PM) is a type of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). The ndctl utility is used to manage the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux Kernel. It is required for several Persistent Memory Developer Kit (PMDK) features if compiling from source. If ndctl is not available, the PMDK may not build all components and features.
Utility library for managing the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux kernel
If you going to Writing Applications for Persistent Memory. Below details is the Programming Model Modes:

Block and File modes use IO

• Data is read or written using RAM buffers
• Software controls how to wait (context switch or poll)
• Status is explicitly checked by software

Volume and PM modes enable Load/Store

• Data is loaded into or stored from processor registers
• Processor makes software wait for data during instruction
• No status checking – errors generate exceptions

Recommendation: Suggest upgrade to ndctl: release v76.1
Version 76.1 Fixed the following:
cxl/event-trace: use the wrapped util_json_new_u64()
cxl/monitor: fix include paths for tracefs and traceevent
cxl/monitor: Make libtracefs dependency optional
