[ Upstream commit 251e90e7e346a23742b90e2c4db19d322e071d99 ]

Commit fa1f57421e0b ("xen/virtio: Enable restricted memory access using
Xen grant mappings") introduced a new requirement for using virtio
devices: the backend now needs to support the VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
feature.

This is an undue requirement for non-PV guests, as those can be operated
with existing backends without any problem, as long as those backends
are running in dom0.

Per default allow virtio devices without grant support for non-PV
guests.

On Arm require VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM for devices having been listed
in the device tree to use grants.

Add a new config item to always force use of grants for virtio.

[ Upstream commit a603002eea8213eec5211be5a85db8340aea06d0 ]

Instead of having a global flag to require restricted memory access
for all virtio devices, introduce a callback which can select that
requirement on a per-device basis.

For convenience add a common function returning always true, which can
be used for use cases like SEV.

Per default use a callback always returning false.

As the callback needs to be set in early init code already, add a
virtio anchor which is builtin in case virtio is enabled.

By assigning xen-grant DMA ops we will restrict memory access for
passed device using Xen grant mappings. This is needed for using any
virtualized device (e.g. virtio) in Xen guests in a safe manner.

Please note, for the virtio devices the XEN_VIRTIO config should
be enabled (it forces ARCH_HAS_RESTRICTED_VIRTIO_MEMORY_ACCESS).

<title>xen/grant-dma-ops: Retrieve the ID of backend's domain for DT devices</title>

Use the presence of "iommus" property pointed to the IOMMU node with
recently introduced "xen,grant-dma" compatible as a clear indicator
of enabling Xen grant mappings scheme for that device and read the ID
of Xen domain where the corresponding backend is running. The domid
(domain ID) is used as an argument to the Xen grant mapping APIs.

To avoid the deferred probe timeout which takes place after reusing
generic IOMMU device tree bindings (because the IOMMU device never
becomes available) enable recently introduced stub IOMMU driver by
selecting XEN_GRANT_DMA_IOMMU.

Also introduce xen_is_grant_dma_device() to check whether xen-grant
DMA ops need to be set for a passed device.

Remove the hardcoded domid 0 in xen_grant_setup_dma_ops().

routines for providing grant references as DMA addresses to be used by
frontends (e.g. virtio) in Xen guests.

Add the needed functionality by providing a special set of DMA ops

For support of virtio via grant mappings in rare cases larger mappings
using consecutive grants are needed. Support those by adding a bitmap
of free grants.

As consecutive grants will be needed only in very rare cases (e.g. when
configuring a virtio device with a multi-page ring), optimize for the
normal case of non-consecutive allocations.

The helper's purpose is to assign any Xen specific DMA ops in
a single place. For now, we deal with xen-swiotlb DMA ops only.
The one of the subsequent commits in current series will add
xen-grant DMA ops case.

Also re-use the xen_swiotlb_detect() check on Arm32.

xen_remap() is used to establish mappings for frames not under direct
control of the kernel: for Xenstore and console ring pages, and for
grant pages of non-PV guests.

Today xen_remap() is defined to use ioremap() on x86 (doing uncached
mappings), and ioremap_cache() on Arm (doing cached mappings).

Uncached mappings for those use cases are bad for performance, so they
should be avoided if possible. As all use cases of xen_remap() don't
require uncached mappings (the mapped area is always physical RAM),
a mapping using the standard WB cache mode is fine.

As sparse is flagging some of the xen_remap() use cases to be not
appropriate for iomem(), as the result is not annotated with the
__iomem modifier, eliminate xen_remap() completely and replace all
use cases with memremap() specifying the MEMREMAP_WB caching mode.

xen_unmap() can be replaced with memunmap().

xen_remap() is used to establish mappings for frames not under direct
control of the kernel: for Xenstore and console ring pages, and for
grant pages of non-PV guests.
