[PATCH v8 0/6] Add Tegra241 (Grace) CMDQV Support (part 1/2)

[Nicolin Chen]

NVIDIA's Tegra241 (Grace) SoC has a CMDQ-Virtualization (CMDQV) hardware
that extends standard ARM SMMUv3 to support multiple command queues with
virtualization capabilities. Though this is similar to the ECMDQ in SMMU
v3.3, CMDQV provides additional Virtual Interfaces (VINTFs) allowing VMs
to have their own VINTFs and Virtual Command Queues (VCMDQs). The VCMDQs
can only execute a limited set of commands, mainly invalidation commands
when exclusively used by the VMs, compared to the standard SMMUv3 CMDQ.

Thus, there are two parts of patch series to add its support: the basic
in-kernel support as part 1, and the user-space support as part 2.

The in-kernel support is to detect/configure the CMDQV hardware and then
allocate a VINTF with some VCMDQs for the kernel/hypervisor to use. Like
ECMDQ, CMDQV also allows the kernel to use multiple VCMDQs, giving some
limited performance improvement: up to 20% reduction of TLB invalidation
time was measured by a multi-threaded DMA unmap benchmark, compared to a
single queue.

The user-space support is to provide uAPIs (via IOMMUFD) for hypervisors
in user space to passthrough VCMDQs to VMs, allowing these VMs to access
the VCMDQs directly without trappings, i.e. no VM Exits. This gives huge
performance improvements: 70% to 90% reductions of TLB invalidation time
were measured by various DMA unmap tests running in a guest OS, compared
to a nested SMMU CMDQ (with trappings).

This is the part-1 series:
 - Preparatory changes to share the existing SMMU functions
 - A new CMDQV driver and extending the SMMUv3 driver to interact with
   the new driver
 - Limit the commands for a guest kernel.

It's available on Github:
https://github.com/nicolinc/iommufd/commits/vcmdq_in_kernel-v8

And the part-2 RFC series is also sent for discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1712978212.git.nicolinc@nvidia.com/

Note that this in-kernel support isn't confined to host kernels running
on Grace-powered servers, but is also used by guest kernels running on
VMs virtualized on those servers. So, those VMs must install the driver,
ideally before the part 2 is merged. So, later those servers would only
need to upgrade their host kernels without bothering the VMs.

Thank you!
