commit c8952a707556e04374d7b2fdb3a079d63ddf6f2f upstream.

There are multiple cases in vfio_pci_set_ctx_trigger_single() where
we assume we can safely read from our data pointer without actually
checking whether the user has passed any data via the count field.
VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE in particular is entirely broken since we
attempt to pull an int32_t file descriptor out before even checking
the data type.  The other data types assume the data pointer contains
one element of their type as well.

In part this is good news because we were previously restricted from
doing much sanitization of parameters because it was missed in the
past and we didn't want to break existing users.  Clearly DATA_NONE
is completely broken, so it must not have any users and we can fix
it up completely.  For DATA_BOOL and DATA_EVENTFD, we'll just
protect ourselves, returning error when count is zero since we
previously would have oopsed.

commit 8160c4e455820d5008a1116d2dca35f0363bb062 upstream.

Calling return copy_to_user(...) in an ioctl will not
do the right thing if there's a pagefault:
copy_to_user returns the number of bytes not copied
in this case.

Fix up vfio to do
	return copy_to_user(...)) ?
		-EFAULT : 0;

Revert commit 033291eccbdb ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode") due to lack
of a user.  This was originally intended to fill a need for the DPDK
driver, but uptake has been slow so rather than support an unproven
kernel interface revert it and revisit when userspace catches up.

The first argument to the WARN() macro has to be a condition.  I'm sort

guess -Wformat-extra-args doesn't work in the kernel.

Smatch complains about a possible out of bounds error:

	drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci_config.c:1241 vfio_cap_init()
	error: buffer overflow 'pci_cap_length' 20 &lt;= 20

The problem is that pci_cap_length[] was defined as large enough to
hold "PCI_CAP_ID_AF + 1" elements.  The code in vfio_cap_init() assumes
it has PCI_CAP_ID_MAX + 1 elements.  Originally, PCI_CAP_ID_AF and
PCI_CAP_ID_MAX were the same but then we introduced PCI_CAP_ID_EA in
commit f80b0ba95964 ("PCI: Add Enhanced Allocation register entries")
so now the array is too small.

Let's fix this by making the array size PCI_CAP_ID_MAX + 1.  And let's
make a similar change to pci_ext_cap_length[] for consistency.  Also
both these arrays can be made const.

There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA
capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system.  There is
also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device
assignment to virtual machines.  However, there are still those users
that want userspace drivers even under those conditions.  The UIO
driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of
device access and programming that VFIO has.  In an effort to avoid
code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO.

This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling
the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver.  This
should make it very clear that this mode is not safe.  Additionally,
CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and
containers using this mode.  Groups making use of this support are
named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special
VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container.  Use of this mode, specifically
binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver
will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered
supported.  This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus
driver only.
