There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA
capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system. There is
also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device
assignment to virtual machines. However, there are still those users
that want userspace drivers even under those conditions. The UIO
driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of
device access and programming that VFIO has. In an effort to avoid
code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO.This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling
the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver. This
should make it very clear that this mode is not safe. Additionally,
CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and
containers using this mode. Groups making use of this support are
named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special
VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container. Use of this mode, specifically
binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver
will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered
supported. This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus
driver only.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

Revert commit 033291eccbdb ("vfio: Include No-IOMMU mode") due to lack
of a user. This was originally intended to fill a need for the DPDK
driver, but uptake has been slow so rather than support an unproven
kernel interface revert it and revisit when userspace catches up.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

An unintended consequence of commit 42ac9bd18d4f ("vfio: initialize
the virqfd workqueue in VFIO generic code") is that the vfio module
is renamed to vfio_core so that it can include both vfio and virqfd.
That's a user visible change that may break module loading scritps
and it imposes eventfd support as a dependency on the core vfio code,
which it's really not. virqfd is intended to be provided as a service
to vfio bus drivers, so instead of wrapping it into vfio.ko, we can
make it a stand-alone module toggled by vfio bus drivers. This has
the additional benefit of removing initialization and exit from the
core vfio code.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

When a request is made to unbind a device from a vfio bus driver,
we need to wait for the device to become unused, ie. for userspace
to release the device. However, we have a long standing TODO in
the code to do something proactive to make that happen. To enable
this, we add a request callback on the vfio bus driver struct,
which is intended to signal the user through the vfio device
interface to release the device. Instead of passively waiting for
the device to become unused, we can now pester the user to give
it up.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

VFIO is designed to be used via ioctls on file descriptors
returned by VFIO.However in some situations support for an external user is required.
The first user is KVM on PPC64 (SPAPR TCE protocol) which is going to
use the existing VFIO groups for exclusive access in real/virtual mode
on a host to avoid passing map/unmap requests to the user space which
would made things pretty slow.The protocol includes:
1. do normal VFIO init operation:
- opening a new container;
- attaching group(s) to it;
- setting an IOMMU driver for a container.
When IOMMU is set for a container, all groups in it are
considered ready to use by an external user.2. User space passes a group fd to an external user.
The external user calls vfio_group_get_external_user()
to verify that:
- the group is initialized;
- IOMMU is set for it.
If both checks passed, vfio_group_get_external_user()
increments the container user counter to prevent
the VFIO group from disposal before KVM exits.3. The external user calls vfio_external_user_iommu_id()
to know an IOMMU ID. PPC64 KVM uses it to link logical bus
number (LIOBN) with IOMMU ID.4. When the external KVM finishes, it calls
vfio_group_put_external_user() to release the VFIO group.
This call decrements the container user counter.
Everything gets released.The "vfio: Limit group opens" patch is also required for the consistency.

Add PCI device support for VFIO. PCI devices expose regions
for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas
of the device. PCI config access is virtualized in the kernel,
allowing us to ensure the integrity of the system, by preventing
various accesses while reducing duplicate support across various
userspace drivers. I/O port supports read/write access while
MMIO also supports mmap of sufficiently sized regions. Support
for INTx, MSI, and MSI-X interrupts are provided using eventfds to
userspace.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

This VFIO IOMMU backend is designed primarily for AMD-Vi and Intel
VT-d hardware, but is potentially usable by anything supporting
similar mapping functionality. We arbitrarily call this a Type1
backend for lack of a better name. This backend has no IOVA
or host memory mapping restrictions for the user and is optimized
for relatively static mappings. Mapped areas are pinned into system
memory.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson

VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines
and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the
isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's
intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers
(in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable
IOMMU).New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed
through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the
group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to
original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained
from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a
group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type
of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have
vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO
users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their
choice.Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description
and usage example.Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson
