__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Swiotlb is used on ARM64 to support DMA on platform where devices are
not protected by an SMMU. Furthermore it's only enabled for DOM0.
While Xen is always using 4KB page granularity in the stage-2 page table,
Linux ARM64 may either use 4KB or 64KB. This means that a Linux page
can be spanned accross multiple Xen page.
The Swiotlb code has to validate that the buffer used for DMA is
physically contiguous in the memory. As a Linux page can't be shared
between local memory and foreign page by design (the balloon code always
removing entirely a Linux page), the changes in the code are very
minimal because we only need to check the first Xen PFN.
Note that it may be possible to optimize the function
check_page_physically_contiguous to avoid looping over every Xen PFN
for local memory. Although I will let this optimization for a follow-up.

The swiotlb is required when programming a DMA address on ARM when a
device is not protected by an IOMMU.
In this case, the DMA address should always be equal to the machine address.
For DOM0 memory, Xen ensure it by have an identity mapping between the
guest address and host address. However, when mapping a foreign grant
reference, the 1:1 model doesn't work.
For ARM guest, most of the callers of pfn_to_mfn expects to get a GFN
(Guest Frame Number), i.e a PFN (Page Frame Number) from the Linux point
of view given that all ARM guest are auto-translated.
Even though the name pfn_to_mfn is misleading, we need to ensure that
those caller get a GFN and not by mistake a MFN. In pratical, I haven't
seen error related to this but we should fix it for the sake of
correctness.
In order to fix the implementation of pfn_to_mfn on ARM in a follow-up
patch, we have to introduce new helpers to return the DMA from a PFN and
the invert.
On x86, the new helpers will be an alias of pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn.
The helpers will be used in swiotlb and xen_biovec_phys_mergeable.
This is necessary in the latter because we have to ensure that the
biovec code will not try to merge a biovec using foreign page and
another using Linux memory.
Lastly, the helper mfn_to_local_pfn has been renamed to bfn_to_local_pfn
given that the only usage was in swiotlb.

Make sure that xen_swiotlb_init allocates buffers that are DMA capable
when at least one memblock is available below 4G. Otherwise we assume
that all devices on the SoC can cope with >4G addresses. We do this on
ARM and ARM64, where dom0 is mapped 1:1, so pfn == mfn in this case.
No functional changes on x86.

With Xen configured into the arm64 kernel, any driver allocating
DMA'able memory for PCI operations, must be GPL compatible, regardless
of its interaction with Xen. This patch relaxes the GPL requirement of

Introduce support for new hypercall GNTTABOP_cache_flush.
Use it to perform cache flashing on pages used for dma when necessary.
If GNTTABOP_cache_flush is supported by the hypervisor, we don't need to

devices.

Introduce an arch specific function to find out whether a particular dma
mapping operation needs to bounce on the swiotlb buffer.
On ARM and ARM64, if the page involved is a foreign page and the device
is not coherent, we need to bounce because at unmap time we cannot
execute any required cache maintenance operations (we don't know how to
find the pfn from the mfn).
No change of behaviour for x86.

Use xen_alloc_coherent_pages and xen_free_coherent_pages to allocate or
free coherent pages.
We need to be careful handling the pointer returned by
xen_alloc_coherent_pages, because on ARM the pointer is not equal to
phys_to_virt(*dma_handle). In fact virt_to_phys only works for kernel
direct mapped RAM memory.
In ARM case the pointer could be an ioremap address, therefore passing
it to virt_to_phys would give you another physical address that doesn't
correspond to it.
Make xen_create_contiguous_region take a phys_addr_t as start parameter to
avoid the virt_to_phys calls which would be incorrect.

- remove extra spaces.

Xen on arm and arm64 needs SWIOTLB_XEN: when running on Xen we need to
program the hardware with mfns rather than pfns for dma addresses.
Remove SWIOTLB_XEN dependency on X86 and PCI and make XEN select
SWIOTLB_XEN on arm and arm64.
At the moment always rely on swiotlb-xen, but when Xen starts supporting
hardware IOMMUs we'll be able to avoid it conditionally on the presence
of an IOMMU on the platform.
Implement xen_create_contiguous_region on arm and arm64: for the moment
we assume that dom0 has been mapped 1:1 (physical addresses == machine
addresses) therefore we don't need to call XENMEM_exchange. Simply
return the physical address as dma address.
Initialize the xen-swiotlb from xen_early_init (before the native
dma_ops are initialized), set xen_dma_ops to &xen_swiotlb_dma_ops.
