Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!
Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:
- adjust title marks;
- use footnote marks;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust identation.

This adds create/remove window ioctls to create and remove DMA windows.
sPAPR defines a Dynamic DMA windows capability which allows
para-virtualized guests to create additional DMA windows on a PCI bus.
The existing linux kernels use this new window to map the entire guest
memory and switch to the direct DMA operations saving time on map/unmap
requests which would normally happen in a big amounts.
This adds 2 ioctl handlers - VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_CREATE and
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_REMOVE - to create and remove windows.
Up to 2 windows are supported now by the hardware and by this driver.
This changes VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE_GET_INFO handler to return additional
information such as a number of supported windows and maximum number
levels of TCE tables.
DDW is added as a capability, not as a SPAPR TCE IOMMU v2 unique feature
as we still want to support v2 on platforms which cannot do DDW for
the sake of TCE acceleration in KVM (coming soon).

The existing implementation accounts the whole DMA window in
the locked_vm counter. This is going to be worse with multiple
containers and huge DMA windows. Also, real-time accounting would requite
additional tracking of accounted pages due to the page size difference -
IOMMU uses 4K pages and system uses 4K or 64K pages.
Another issue is that actual pages pinning/unpinning happens on every
DMA map/unmap request. This does not affect the performance much now as
we spend way too much time now on switching context between
guest/userspace/host but this will start to matter when we add in-kernel
DMA map/unmap acceleration.
This introduces a new IOMMU type for SPAPR - VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_v2_IOMMU.
New IOMMU deprecates VFIO_IOMMU_ENABLE/VFIO_IOMMU_DISABLE and introduces
2 new ioctls to register/unregister DMA memory -
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_REGISTER_MEMORY and VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_UNREGISTER_MEMORY -
which receive user space address and size of a memory region which
needs to be pinned/unpinned and counted in locked_vm.
New IOMMU splits physical pages pinning and TCE table update
into 2 different operations. It requires:
1) guest pages to be registered first
2) consequent map/unmap requests to work only with pre-registered memory.
For the default single window case this means that the entire guest
(instead of 2GB) needs to be pinned before using VFIO.
When a huge DMA window is added, no additional pinning will be
required, otherwise it would be guest RAM + 2GB.
The new memory registration ioctls are not supported by
VFIO_SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU. Dynamic DMA window and in-kernel acceleration
will require memory to be preregistered in order to work.
The accounting is done per the user process.
This advertises v2 SPAPR TCE IOMMU and restricts what the userspace
can do with v1 or v2 IOMMUs.
In order to support memory pre-registration, we need a way to track
the use of every registered memory region and only allow unregistration
if a region is not in use anymore. So we need a way to tell from what
region the just cleared TCE was from.
This adds a userspace view of the TCE table into iommu_table struct.
It contains userspace address, one per TCE entry. The table is only
allocated when the ownership over an IOMMU group is taken which means
it is only used from outside of the powernv code (such as VFIO).
As v2 IOMMU supports IODA2 and pre-IODA2 IOMMUs (which do not support
DDW API), this creates a default DMA window for IODA2 for consistency.

The patch adds one more EEH sub-command (VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR)
to inject the specified EEH error, which is represented by
(struct vfio_eeh_pe_err), to the indicated PE for testing purpose.

VFIO implements platform independent stuff such as
a PCI driver, BAR access (via read/write on a file descriptor
or direct mapping when possible) and IRQ signaling.
The platform dependent part includes IOMMU initialization
and handling. This implements an IOMMU driver for VFIO
which does mapping/unmapping pages for the guest IO and
provides information about DMA window (required by a POWER
guest).
