In the event that something goes wrong in the hardware and it is unable
to complete a process element comment we would end up polling forever,
effectively making the associated process unkillable.
This patch adds a timeout to the process element command code path, so
that we will give up if the hardware does not respond in a reasonable
time.

We had a known sleep while atomic bug if a CXL device was forcefully
unbound while it was in use. This could occur as a result of EEH, or
manually induced with something like this while the device was in use:
echo 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/cxl-pci/unbind
The issue was that in this code path we iterated over each context and
forcefully detached it with the contexts_lock spin lock held, however
the detach also needed to take the spu_mutex, and call schedule.
This patch changes the contexts_lock to a mutex so that we are not in
atomic context while doing the detach, thereby avoiding the sleep while
atomic.
Also delete the related TODO comment, which suggested an alternate
solution which turned out to not be workable.

If an AFU has a hardware bug that causes it to acknowledge a context
terminate or remove while that context has outstanding transactions, it
is possible for the kernel to receive an interrupt for that context
after we have removed it from the context list.
The kernel will not be able to demultiplex the interrupt (or worse - if
we have already reallocated the process handle we could mis-attribute it
to the new context), and printed a big scary warning.
It did not acknowledge the interrupt, which would effectively halt
further translation fault processing on the PSL.
This patch makes the warning clearer about the likely cause of the issue
(i.e. hardware bug) to make it obvious to future AFU designers of what
needs to be fixed. It also prints out the process handle which can then
be matched up with hardware and software traces for debugging.
It also acknowledges the interrupt to the PSL with either an address
error or acknowledge, so that the PSL can continue with other
translations.

This patch simplifies the process of finding a free segment table entry
by disabling the secondary hash. This reduces the number of possible
entries in the segment table for a given address from 16 to 8.
Due to the large segment sizes we use it is extremely unlikely that the
secondary hash would ever have been used in practice, so this should not
have any negative impacts and may even improve performance due to the
reduced number of comparisons that software & hardware need to perform.
This patch clears the SC bit in the hardware's state register
(CXL_PSL_SR_An) to disable the secondary hash in the hardware since we
can no longer fill out entries using it.

This is the core of the cxl driver.
It adds support for using cxl cards in the powernv environment only (ie POWER8
bare metal). It allows access to cxl accelerators by userspace using the
/dev/cxl/afuM.N char devices.
The kernel driver has no knowledge of the function implemented by the
accelerator. It provides services to userspace via the /dev/cxl/afuM.N
devices. When a program opens this device and runs the start work IOCTL, the
accelerator will have coherent access to that processes memory using the same
virtual addresses. That process may mmap the device to access any MMIO space
the accelerator provides. Also, reads on the device will allow interrupts to
be received. These services are further documented in a later patch in
Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt.
Documentation of the cxl hardware architecture and userspace API is provided in
subsequent patches.
