[PATCH v6 0/7] KVM PCIe/MSI passthrough on ARM/ARM64: kernel part 1/3: iommu changes

[Eric Auger]

This series introduces the dma-reserved-iommu api used to:
- create/destroy an iova domain dedicated to reserved iova bindings
- map/unmap physical addresses onto reserved IOVAs.
- unmap and destroy all IOVA reserved bindings

Currently reserved IOVAs are meant to map MSI physical doorbells. A single
reserved domain does exit per domain.

Also a new domain attribute is introduced to signal whether the MSI
addresses must be mapped in the IOMMU

VFIO subsystem is supposed to create/destroy the iommu reserved domain.

When the MSI sub-system is about to handle an MSI physical address
that needs to be bound, it uses the dma-reserved_iommu API to map/unmap
the address. Since several drivers are likely to use the same doorbell,
a reference counting must exist on the bindings. An RB-tree indexed by PA
is used.

History:

RFC v5 -> patch v6:
- split to ease the review process
- in dma-reserved-api use a spin lock instead of a mutex (reported by
  Jean-Philippe)
- revisit iommu_get_reserved_iova API to pass a size parameter upon
  Marc's request
- Consistently use the page order passed when creating the iova domain.
- init reserved_binding_list (reported by Julien)

RFC v4 -> RFC v5:
- take into account Thomas' comments on MSI related patches
  - split "msi: IOMMU map the doorbell address when needed"
  - increase readability and add comments
  - fix style issues
 - split "iommu: Add DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_MAPPING attribute"
 - platform ITS now advertises IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP
 - fix compilation issue with CONFIG_IOMMU API unset
 - arm-smmu-v3 now advertises DOMAIN_ATTR_MSI_MAPPING

RFC v3 -> v4:
- Move doorbell mapping/unmapping in msi.c
- fix ref count issue on set_affinity: in case of a change in the address
  the previous address is decremented
- doorbell map/unmap now is done on msi composition. Should allow the use
  case for platform MSI controllers
- create dma-reserved-iommu.h/c exposing/implementing a new API dedicated
  to reserved IOVA management (looking like dma-iommu glue)
- series reordering to ease the review:
  - first part is related to IOMMU
  - second related to MSI sub-system
  - third related to VFIO (except arm-smmu IOMMU_CAP_INTR_REMAP removal)
- expose the number of requested IOVA pages through VFIO_IOMMU_GET_INFO
  [this partially addresses Marc's comments on iommu_get/put_single_reserved
   size/alignment problematic - which I did not ignore - but I don't know
   how much I can do at the moment]

RFC v2 -> RFC v3:
- should fix wrong handling of some CONFIG combinations:
  CONFIG_IOVA, CONFIG_IOMMU_API, CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
- fix MSI_FLAG_IRQ_REMAPPING setting in GICv3 ITS (although not tested)

PATCH v1 -> RFC v2:
- reverted to RFC since it looks more reasonable ;-) the code is split
  between VFIO, IOMMU, MSI controller and I am not sure I did the right
  choices. Also API need to be further discussed.
- iova API usage in arm-smmu.c.
- MSI controller natively programs the MSI addr with either the PA or IOVA.
  This is not done anymore in vfio-pci driver as suggested by Alex.
- check irq remapping capability of the group

RFC v1 [2] -> PATCH v1:
- use the existing dma map/unmap ioctl interface with a flag to register a
  reserved IOVA range. Use the legacy Rb to store this special vfio_dma.
- a single reserved IOVA contiguous region now is allowed
- use of an RB tree indexed by PA to store allocated reserved slots
- use of a vfio_domain iova_domain to manage iova allocation within the
  window provided by the userspace
- vfio alloc_map/unmap_free take a vfio_group handle
- vfio_group handle is cached in vfio_pci_device
- add ref counting to bindings
- user modality enabled at the end of the series
