<id>3397c3cd859a2c51962ad032dcf97961d42f9db2</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new UIO driver, uio_pci_generic_sva, which
extends the functionality of uio_pci_generic by adding support for
Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) when IOMMU is enabled in the system.

The key enhancement allows PCI devices to directly use user-space virtual
addresses for DMA operations, eliminating the need for bounce buffers or
explicit IOVA mapping. This is achieved by leveraging the kernel's IOMMU-SVA
subsystem, including process address space attachment, page fault handling,
and shared context management between CPU and device.

With this driver, userspace applications can perform zero-copy DMA using
native pointers:

   void *addr = malloc(N);
   set_dma_addr((uint64_t)addr);  // Passing user VA directly
   start_dma();

The device can now access 'addr' through the IOMMU's PASID-based translation,
provided that the underlying IOMMU hardware (e.g., Intel VT-d 3.1+, AMD-Vi,
ARM SMMU, RISCV IOMMU) and platform support SVA.

Dependencies:
- CONFIG_IOMMU_SVA must be enabled.
- The platform must support PRI (Page Request Interface) and PASID.
- Device drivers/userspace must handle page faults if demand-paging is used.

The implementation reuses core logic from uio_pci_generic.c while adding
PASID setting, and integration with the IOMMU SVA APIs.

Also, add a read-only sysfs attribute 'pasid' to expose the Process Address
Space ID assigned by IOMMU driver when binding an SVA-enabled device.
For details, refer to the ABI documentation for uio_pci_sva driver sysfs attribute
(Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-uio_pci_sva-pasid).

<title>Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option</title>

<id>94b04355e6397a0a70b69c2571fa5c7d9990b835</id>
<content type='text'>
At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails
lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear
what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting
CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin
adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have
its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root
where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly,
there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more
dependencies on it.

So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for
dependency on VMBus.

This UIO driver was used to control the PRU processors found on various
TI SoCs. It was created before the Remoteproc framework, but now with
that we have a standard way to program and manage the PRU processors.
The proper PRU Remoteproc driver should be used instead of this driver.

This driver only supported the original class of PRUSS (OMAP-L1xx /
AM17xx / AM18xx / TMS320C674x / DA8xx) but when these platforms were
switched to use Device Tree the support for DT was not added to this
driver and so it is now unused/unusable. Support for these platforms
can be added to the proper PRU Remoteproc driver if ever needed.

Remove this driver.

This patch supports the DFL drivers be written in userspace. This is
realized by exposing the userspace I/O device interfaces.

The driver now only binds the ether group feature, which has no irq. So
the irq support is not implemented yet.

This is a new driver to enable userspace networking on VMBus.
It is based largely on the similar driver that already exists
for PCI, and earlier work done by Brocade to support DPDK.
