[PATCH v5 00/29] powerpc/iommu/vfio: Enable Dynamic DMA windows

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

This enables sPAPR defined feature called Dynamic DMA windows (DDW).

Each Partitionable Endpoint (IOMMU group) has an address range on a PCI bus
where devices are allowed to do DMA. These ranges are called DMA windows.
By default, there is a single DMA window, 1 or 2GB big, mapped at zero
on a PCI bus.

Hi-speed devices may suffer from the limited size of the window.
The recent host kernels use a TCE bypass window on POWER8 CPU which implements
direct PCI bus address range mapping (with offset of 1<<59) to the host memory.

For guests, PAPR defines a DDW RTAS API which allows pseries guests
querying the hypervisor about DDW support and capabilities (page size mask
for now). A pseries guest may request an additional (to the default)
DMA windows using this RTAS API.
The existing pseries Linux guests request an additional window as big as
the guest RAM and map the entire guest window which effectively creates
direct mapping of the guest memory to a PCI bus.

The multiple DMA windows feature is supported by POWER7/POWER8 CPUs; however
this patchset only adds support for POWER8 as TCE tables are implemented
in POWER7 in a quite different way ans POWER7 is not the highest priority.

This patchset reworks PPC64 IOMMU code and adds necessary structures
to support big windows.

Once a Linux guest discovers the presence of DDW, it does:
1. query hypervisor about number of available windows and page size masks;
2. create a window with the biggest possible page size (today 4K/64K/16M);
3. map the entire guest RAM via H_PUT_TCE* hypercalls;
4. switche dma_ops to direct_dma_ops on the selected PE.

Once this is done, H_PUT_TCE is not called anymore for 64bit devices and
the guest does not waste time on DMA map/unmap operations.

Note that 32bit devices won't use DDW and will keep using the default
DMA window so KVM optimizations will be required (to be posted later).

Changes:
v5:
* added SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU_v2 to tell the userspace that there is a memory
pre-registration feature
* added backward compatibility
* renamed few things (mostly powerpc_iommu -> iommu_table_group)

v4:
* moved patches around to have VFIO and PPC patches separated as much as
possible
* now works with the existing upstream QEMU

v3:
* redesigned the whole thing
* multiple IOMMU groups per PHB -> one PHB is needed for VFIO in the guest ->
no problems with locked_vm counting; also we save memory on actual tables
* guest RAM preregistration is required for DDW
* PEs (IOMMU groups) are passed to VFIO with no DMA windows at all so
we do not bother with iommu_table::it_map anymore
* added multilevel TCE tables support to support really huge guests

v2:
* added missing __pa() in "powerpc/powernv: Release replaced TCE"
* reposted to make some noise
