This patch series introduces support for RISC-V IOMMU architected
hardware into the Linux kernel.

The RISC-V IOMMU specification, which this series is based on, is
ratified and available at GitHub/riscv-non-isa [1].

At a high level, the RISC-V IOMMU specification defines:

1) Data structures:
  - Device-context: Associates devices with address spaces and holds
    per-device parameters for address translations.
  - Process-contexts: Associates different virtual address spaces based
    on device-provided process identification numbers.
  - MSI page table configuration used to direct an MSI to a guest
    interrupt file in an IMSIC.
2) In-memory queue interface:
  - Command-queue for issuing commands to the IOMMU.
  - Fault/event queue for reporting faults and events.
  - Page-request queue for reporting "Page Request" messages received
    from PCIe devices.
  - Message-signaled and wire-signaled interrupt mechanisms.
3) Memory-mapped programming interface:
  - Mandatory and optional register layout and description.
  - Software guidelines for device initialization and capabilities discovery.


This series introduces RISC-V IOMMU hardware initialization and complete
single-stage translation with paging domain support.

The patches are organized as follows:

Patch 1: Introduces minimal required device tree bindings for the driver.
Patch 2: Defines RISC-V IOMMU data structures, hardware programming interface
         registers layout, and minimal initialization code for enabling global
         pass-through for all connected masters.
Patch 3: Implements the device driver for PCIe implementation of RISC-V IOMMU
         architected hardware.
Patch 4: Introduces IOMMU interfaces to the kernel subsystem.
Patch 5: Implements device directory management with discovery sequences for
         I/O mapped or in-memory device directory table location, hardware
         capabilities discovery, and device to domain attach implementation.
Patch 6: Implements command and fault queue, and introduces directory cache
         invalidation sequences.
Patch 7: Implements paging domain, with page table using the same format as the
         CPU’s MMU. This patch series enables only 4K mappings; complete support
         for large page mappings will be introduced in follow-up patch series.

Follow-up patch series, providing large page support and updated walk cache
management based on the revised specification, and complete ATS/PRI/SVA support,
will be posted to GitHub [2] in the next few days.

Changes from v1:

  This version includes major reorganization of the code related to queue
  and page table management, removal of all ATS/PRI/SVA features to be addressed
  in follow-up patch series, removal of unnecessary checks, and adoption of new
  interfaces for identity and paging domain allocations.

Apologies for the delay in sending v2 series, and thank you for valuable feedback
and patience with last patch series.

Best regards,
 Tomasz Jeznach
