Add a timer to flush entries from the Flush-Queues every
10ms. This makes sure that no stale TLB entries remain for
too long after an IOVA has been unmapped.

The lock is taken from the same CPU most of the time. But
having it allows to flush the queue also from another CPU if
necessary.

This will be used by a timer to regularily flush any pending
IOVAs from the Flush-Queues.

<title>iommu/iova: Add flush counters to Flush-Queue implementation</title>

<id>fb418dab8a4f01dde0c025d15145c589ec02796b</id>

There are two counters:

	* fq_flush_start_cnt  - Increased when a TLB flush
	                        is started.

	* fq_flush_finish_cnt - Increased when a TLB flush
				is finished.

The fq_flush_start_cnt is assigned to every Flush-Queue
entry on its creation. When freeing entries from the
Flush-Queue, the value in the entry is compared to the
fq_flush_finish_cnt. The entry can only be freed when its
value is less than the value of fq_flush_finish_cnt.

The reason for these counters it to take advantage of IOMMU
TLB flushes that happened on other CPUs. These already
flushed the TLB for Flush-Queue entries on other CPUs so
that they can already be freed without flushing the TLB
again.

This makes it less likely that the Flush-Queue is full and
saves IOMMU TLB flushes.

This patch adds the basic data-structures to implement
flush-queues in the generic IOVA code. It also adds the
initialization and destroy routines for these data
structures.

The initialization routine is designed so that the use of
this feature is optional for the users of IOVA code.

Currently, building code which uses the API guarded by the IOMMU_IOVA
will fail to link if IOMMU_IOVA is not enabled. Often this code will be
using the API provided by the IOMMU_API Kconfig symbol, but support for
this can be optional, with code falling back to contiguous memory. This
commit implements dummy functions for the IOVA API so that it can be
compiled out.

With both IOMMU_API and IOMMU_IOVA optional, code can now be built with
or without support for IOMMU without having to resort to #ifdefs in the
user code.

<title>iommu/iova: introduce per-cpu caching to iova allocation</title>
<updated>2016-04-20T19:42:24+00:00</updated>

<id>9257b4a206fc0229dd5f84b78e4d1ebf3f91d270</id>
<content type='text'>
IOVA allocation has two problems that impede high-throughput I/O.
First, it can do a linear search over the allocated IOVA ranges.
Second, the rbtree spinlock that serializes IOVA allocations becomes
contended.

Address these problems by creating an API for caching allocated IOVA
ranges, so that the IOVA allocator isn't accessed frequently.  This
patch adds a per-CPU cache, from which CPUs can alloc/free IOVAs
without taking the rbtree spinlock.  The per-CPU caches are backed by
a global cache, to avoid invoking the (linear-time) IOVA allocator
without needing to make the per-CPU cache size excessive.  This design
is based on magazines, as described in "Magazines and Vmem: Extending
the Slab Allocator to Many CPUs and Arbitrary Resources" (currently
available at https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix01/bonwick.html)

Adding caching on top of the existing rbtree allocator maintains the
property that IOVAs are densely packed in the IO virtual address space,
which is important for keeping IOMMU page table usage low.

To keep the cache size reasonable, we bound the IOVA space a CPU can
cache by 32 MiB (we cache a bounded number of IOVA ranges, and only
ranges of size &lt;= 128 KiB).  The shared global cache is bounded at
4 MiB of IOVA space.

Systems may contain heterogeneous IOMMUs supporting differing minimum
page sizes, which may also not be common with the CPU page size.
Thus it is practical to have an explicit notion of IOVA granularity
to simplify handling of mapping and allocation constraints.

As an initial step, move the IOVA page granularity from an implicit
compile-time constant to a per-domain property so we can make use
of it in IOVA domain context at runtime. To keep the abstraction tidy,
extend the little API of inline iova_* helpers to parallel some of the
equivalent PAGE_* macros.
