[PATCH 0/4] Generic IOMMU page table framework

[Will Deacon]

Hi all,

This series introduces a generic IOMMU page table allocation framework,
implements support for ARM long-descriptors and then ports the arm-smmu
driver over to the new code.

There are a few reasons for doing this:

  - Page table code is hard, and I don't enjoy shopping

  - A number of IOMMUs actually use the same table format, but currently
    duplicate the code

  - It provides a CPU (and architecture) independent allocator, which
    may be useful for some systems where the CPU is using a different
    table format for its own mappings

As illustrated in the final patch, an IOMMU driver interacts with the
allocator by passing in a configuration structure describing the
input and output address ranges, the supported pages sizes and a set of
ops for performing various TLB invalidation and PTE flushing routines.

The LPAE code implements support for 4k/2M/1G, 16k/32M and 64k/512M
mappings, but I decided not to implement the contiguous bit in the
interest of trying to keep the code semi-readable. This could always be
added later, if needed.

I also included some self-tests for the LPAE implementation. Ideally
we'd merge these, but I'm also happy to drop them if there are
objections.

Tested with the self-tests, but also VFIO + MMU-500 at stage-1 and
stage-2. Patches taken against my iommu/devel branch (queued by Joerg
for 3.19).

All feedback welcome.

Will
