 "Highlights include:

   - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we
     use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access
     to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap().

   - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.

   - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.

   - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator
     Interface Architecture 2.0".

   - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and
     runtime.

   - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as
     support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.

   - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts,
     correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and
     using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should
     aid debugging and robustness.

   - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

vfio_pin_pages_remote() is typically called to iterate over a range
of memory.  Testing CAP_IPC_LOCK is relatively expensive, so it makes
sense to push it up to the caller, which can then repeatedly call
vfio_pin_pages_remote() using that value.  This can show nearly a 20%
improvement on the worst case path through VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA with
contiguous page mapping disabled.  Testing RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is much more
lightweight, but we bring it along on the same principle and it does
seem to show a marginal improvement.

With vfio_lock_acct() testing the locked memory limit under mmap_sem,
it's redundant to do it here for a single page.  We can also reorder
our tests such that we can avoid testing for reserved pages if we're
not doing accounting and let vfio_lock_acct() test the process
CAP_IPC_LOCK.  Finally, this function oddly returns 1 on success.
Update to return zero on success, -errno on error.  Since the function
only pins a single page, there's no need to return the number of pages
pinned.

N.B. vfio_pin_pages_remote() can pin a large contiguous range of pages
before calling vfio_lock_acct().  If we were to similarly remove the
extra test there, a user could temporarily pin far more pages than
they're allowed.

<title>vfio/type1: Remove locked page accounting workqueue</title>

<content type='text'>
If the mmap_sem is contented then the vfio type1 IOMMU backend will
defer locked page accounting updates to a workqueue task.  This has a
few problems and depending on which side the user tries to play, they
might be over-penalized for unmaps that haven't yet been accounted or
race the workqueue to enter more mappings than they're allowed.  The
original intent of this workqueue mechanism seems to be focused on
reducing latency through the ioctl, but we cannot do so at the cost
of correctness.  Remove this workqueue mechanism and update the
callers to allow for failure.  We can also now recheck the limit under
write lock to make sure we don't exceed it.

vfio_pin_pages_remote() also now necessarily includes an unwind path
which we can jump to directly if the consecutive page pinning finds
that we're exceeding the user's memory limits.  This avoids the
current lazy approach which does accounting and mapping up to the
fault, only to return an error on the next iteration to unwind the
entire vfio_dma.

The existing SPAPR TCE driver advertises both VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU and
VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU types to the userspace and the userspace usually
picks the v2.

Normally the userspace would create a container, attach an IOMMU group
to it and only then set the IOMMU type (which would normally be v2).

However a specific IOMMU group may not support v2, in other words
it may not implement set_window/unset_window/take_ownership/
release_ownership and such a group should not be attached to
a v2 container.

This adds extra checks that a new group can do what the selected IOMMU
type suggests. The userspace can then test the return value from
ioctl(VFIO_SET_IOMMU, VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU) and try
VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU.

So far iommu_table obejcts were only used in virtual mode and had
a single owner. We are going to change this by implementing in-kernel
acceleration of DMA mapping requests. The proposed acceleration
will handle requests in real mode and KVM will keep references to tables.

This adds a kref to iommu_table and defines new helpers to update it.
This replaces iommu_free_table() with iommu_tce_table_put() and makes
iommu_free_table() static. iommu_tce_table_get() is not used in this patch
but it will be in the following patch.

Since this touches prototypes, this also removes @node_name parameter as
it has never been really useful on powernv and carrying it for
the pseries platform code to iommu_free_table() seems to be quite
useless as well.

This should cause no behavioral change.

At the moment iommu_table can be disposed by either calling
iommu_table_free() directly or it_ops::free(); the only implementation
of free() is in IODA2 - pnv_ioda2_table_free() - and it calls
iommu_table_free() anyway.

As we are going to have reference counting on tables, we need an unified
way of disposing tables.

This moves it_ops::free() call into iommu_free_table() and makes use
of the latter. The free() callback now handles only platform-specific
data.

As from now on the iommu_free_table() calls it_ops-&gt;free(), we need
to have it_ops initialized before calling iommu_free_table() so this
moves this initialization in pnv_pci_ioda2_create_table().

This should cause no behavioral change.

of free() is in IODA2 - pnv_ioda2_table_free() - and it calls
iommu_table_free() anyway.

As we are going to have reference counting on tables, we need an unified
way of disposing tables.

This moves it_ops::free() call into iommu_free_table() and makes use
of the latter. The free() callback now handles only platform-specific
data.

As from now on the iommu_free_table() calls it_ops-&gt;free(), we need
to have it_ops initialized before calling iommu_free_table() so this
moves this initialization in pnv_pci_ioda2_create_table().

This should cause no behavioral change.

The introduction of reserved regions has left a couple of rough edges
which we could do with sorting out sooner rather than later. Since we
are not yet addressing the potential dynamic aspect of software-managed
reservations and presenting them at arbitrary fixed addresses, it is
incongruous that we end up displaying hardware vs. software-managed MSI
regions to userspace differently, especially since ARM-based systems may
actually require one or the other, or even potentially both at once,
(which iommu-dma currently has no hope of dealing with at all). Let's
resolve the former user-visible inconsistency ASAP before the ABI has
been baked into a kernel release, in a way that also lays the groundwork
for the latter shortcoming to be addressed by follow-up patches.

For clarity, rename the software-managed type to IOMMU_RESV_SW_MSI, use
IOMMU_RESV_MSI to describe the hardware type, and document everything a
little bit. Since the x86 MSI remapping hardware falls squarely under
this meaning of IOMMU_RESV_MSI, apply that type to their regions as well,
so that we tell the same story to userspace across all platforms.

Secondly, as the various region types require quite different handling,
and it really makes little sense to ever try combining them, convert the
bitfield-esque #defines to a plain enum in the process before anyone
gets the wrong impression.
