Running the Clang static analyzer on IORT code detected the following
error:

Logic error: Branch condition evaluates to a garbage value

in

iort_get_platform_device_domain()

If the named component associated with a given device has no IORT
mappings, iort_get_platform_device_domain() exits its MSI mapping loop
with msi_parent pointer containing garbage, which can lead to erroneous
code path execution.

Initialize the msi_parent pointer, fixing the bug.

Fixes: d4f54a186667 ("ACPI: platform: setup MSI domain for ACPI based
platform device")

<title>ACPI/IORT: Don't set default coherent DMA mask</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we can track upstream DMA constraints properly with
bus_dma_mask instead of trying (and failing) to maintain it in
coherent_dma_mask, it doesn't make much sense for the firmware code to
be touching the latter at all. It's merely papering over bugs wherein a
driver has failed to call dma_set_coherent_mask() *and* the bus code has
not initialised any default value.

We don't really want to encourage more drivers coercing dma_mask so
we'll continue to fix that up if necessary, but add a warning to help
flush out any such buggy bus code that remains.

When an explicit DMA limit is described by firmware, we need to remember
it regardless of how drivers might subsequently update their devices'
masks. The new bus_dma_mask field does that.

<title>ACPI/IORT: Support address size limit for root complexes</title>

IORT revision D allows PCI root complex nodes to specify a memory
address size limit equivalently to named components, to help describe
straightforward integrations which don't really warrant a full-blown
_DMA method. Now that our headers are up-to-date, plumb it in.

If both _DMA and an address size limit are present, we would always
expect the former to be a more specific subset of the latter (since it
makes little sense for a _DMA range to involve bits which IORT says
aren't wired up), thus we can save calculating an explicit intersection
of the two effective masks and simply use short-circuit logic instead.

To defeat ACPICA&lt;-&gt;kernel merge order dependencies a preprocessor define
value was introduced in the IORT compilation unit according to IORT
revision C, IORT_SMMU_V3_CAVIUM_CN99XX, so that even if the value was
not defined in ACPICA headers the IORT kernel layer would still be able
to function and use it.

Since commit 0c2021c047ba ("ACPICA: IORT: Update SMMU models for
revision C") finally added the define in ACPICA headers, as required by
ACPICA IORT support, the preprocessor definition in the IORT kernel
compilation unit has become obsolete and can be removed.

In IORT issue C SMMUv3 IORT nodes gained an additional field (DeviceID
mapping index) so that the SMMUv3 can describe its MSI interrupts.

Referring to it in the kernel requires ACPICA changes and in order
to prevent kernel&lt;-&gt;ACPICA dependencies kernel code depending on the
SMMUv3 DeviceID mapping index field was guarded with an ACPICA version
conditional.

ACPICA changes introducing DeviceID mapping index in the IORT structs
were integrated in the kernel with:

commit 4c106aa411ee ("ACPICA: iasl: Add SMMUv3 device ID mapping index
support")

so the temporary ACPICA guard has become stale and can be removed.

On some platforms msi parent address regions have to be excluded from
normal IOVA allocation in that they are detected and decoded in a HW
specific way by system components and so they cannot be considered normal
IOVA address space.

Add a helper function that retrieves ITS address regions - the msi
parent - through IORT device &lt;-&gt; ITS mappings and reserves it so that
these regions will not be translated by IOMMU and will be excluded from
IOVA allocations. The function checks for the smmu model number and
only applies the msi reservation if the platform requires it.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
  which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
  applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
  new vector context (&lt;= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
  work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
  is solid now.

  Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
  they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
  future.

  Plenty of acronym soup here:

   - initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)

   - improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
     events)

   - enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types

   - remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps

   - use of WFE to implement long delay()s

   - ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)

   - perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs

   - misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"
