[PATCH v7 0/9] Refactor the SMMU's CD table ownership

Hi all,

This series refactors stage 1 domains so that they describe a single CD
entry. These entries are now inserted into a CD table that is owned by
the arm_smmu_master instead of the domain.
This is conceptually cleaner and unblocks other features, such as
attaching domains with PASID (for unmanaged/dma domains).

This patch series was originally part of a larger patch series that
implemented the set_dev_pasid callback for non-SVA domains but is now
split into a distinct series.

This patch series is also available on gerrit with Jean's SMMU test
engine patches cherry-picked on top for testing:

Thanks,
Michael Shavit

Changes in v7:
- Change the amr_smmu_write_ctx_desc_devices helper introduced to
  arm_smmu_update_ctx_desc_devices to distinguish from the case where
  a potentially new CD entry is written to. Add a comment to clarify
  that it is assumed that the operation can't fail and that it's
  therefore safe not to handle the return. In contrast, the case where a
  new CD entry is written-to does not use the helper and does have to
  handle failure.
- Update commit message to be more clear about locking purpose.
- Drop "Skip cd sync if CD table isn't active" commit, and remove
  related comment in the "Move CD table to arm_smmu_master patch.
- And some minor cosmetic changes based on v6 feedback.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230816131925.2521220-1-mshavit@google.com/

Changes in v6:
- Undo removal of s1fmt and renaming of s1cdmax
- Unwind the loop in amr_smmu_write_ctx_desc_devices to NULL out the CD
  entries we succesfully wrote on failure.
- Add a comment clarifying the different usages of
  amr_smmu_write_ctx_desc_devices
- Grab the asid lock while writing the RID CD to prevent a race with
  SVA.
- Add the device to the devices list before writing the CD to the table
  and installing the CD table.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230808171446.2187795-1-mshavit@google.com/

Changes in v5:
- Clear the 0th CD entry when the domain is detached. Not clearing it
  caused a bug in arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc which doesn't expect the entry
  to already be set.
- Added commit to clean-up now unused master parameter in
  arm_smmu_domain_finalise
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230802163328.2623773-1-mshavit@google.com/

Changes in v4:
- Added comment about the cd_table's dependency on the iommu core's
  group mutex.
- Narrowed the range of code for which the domain's init_mutex is held
  on attach since it now only protects the arm_smmu_domain_finalise
  call.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230801183845.4026101-1-mshavit@google.com/

Changes in v3:
- Add a helper to write a CD to all masters that a domain is attached
  to.
- Fixed an issue where an arm_smmu_write_ctx_desc error return wasn't
  correctly handled by its caller.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230731104833.800114-1-mshavit@google.com/

Changes in v2:
- Allocate CD table when it's first needed instead of on probe.
- Minor changes
- Added commit to rename remaining usages of cdcfg to cd_table
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230727182647.4106140-1-mshavit@google.com/#r

Changes in v1:
- Replace s1_cfg with arm_smmu_ctx_desc_cfg representing the CD table
- Assume that the CD table is owned by the SMMU master for most
  operations. This is forward-compatible with the nested patch series as
  these operations wouldn't be called when the installed CD table comes
  from nested domains.
- Split off as a distinct patch series from https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230621063825.268890-1-mshavit@google.com/
