When transitioning to a kdump kernel, the primary kernel might have crashed
while endpoint devices were actively bus-mastering DMA. Currently, the SMMU
driver aggressively resets the hardware during probe by clearing CR0_SMMUEN
and setting the Global Bypass Attribute (GBPA) to ABORT.
In a kdump scenario, this aggressive reset is highly destructive:
a) If GBPA is set to ABORT, in-flight DMA will be aborted, generating fatal
PCIe AER or SErrors that may panic the kdump kernel
b) If GBPA is set to BYPASS, in-flight DMA targeting some IOVAs will bypass
the SMMU and corrupt the physical memory at those 1:1 mapped IOVAs.
To safely absorb in-flight DMA, the kdump kernel must leave SMMUEN=1 intact
and avoid modifying STRTAB_BASE. This allows HW to continue translating in-
flight DMA using the crashed kernel's page tables until the endpoint device
drivers probe and quiesce their respective hardware.
However, the ARM SMMUv3 architecture specification states that updating the
SMMU_STRTAB_BASE register while SMMUEN == 1 is UNPREDICTABLE or ignored.
This leaves a kdump kernel no choice but to adopt the stream table from the
crashed kernel.
In this series:
- Introduce an ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT
- Skip SMMUEN and STRTAB_BASE resets in arm_smmu_device_reset()
- Skip EVENTQ/PRIQ setup including interrupts and their handlers
- Memremap the crashed kernel's stream tables into the kdump kernel [*]
- Reserve the crashed kernel's in-use ASIDs and VMIDs, preventing any TLB
aliasing with the kdump kernel's own domains
- Defer any default domain attachment to retain STEs until device drivers
explicitly request it.
Most of the new code is added to two new files: arm-smmu-v3-kexec.c holds
the read-only helpers that parse and walk the crashed kernel's stream/CD
tables and reserve its in-use IDs, guarded by a hidden config symbol named
ARM_SMMU_V3_KEXEC (def_bool CRASH_DUMP); arm-smmu-v3-kdump.c then builds
the kdump adoption on top of those helpers, which are meant to be shared
with the proposed SMMUv3 Live Update support:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/alqh_NVatGn84o0i@google.com/
[*] For verification reasons, this series only fixes coherent SMMUs.
For non-ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT cases, keep a status quo since the commit
3f54c447df34f ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Don't disable SMMU in kdump kernel"):
full reset followed by driver-initiated reattach, potentially rejecting any
in-flight DMA.
Note that this series is no longer treated as a bug fix, since it has grown
fairly big and most of the kdump code now resides in separate files. For
folks interested in back-porting the change: a v6.12+ kernel (since commit
85196f54743d ("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Reorganize struct arm_smmu_strtab_cfg"))
would be still compatible with this series.

The vmid_map ida is initialized after the stream table setup, along with
the devres action that destroys it.
An upcoming change will reserve the crashed kernel's in-use VMIDs in this
ida, from a kdump kernel's stream table adoption that runs in place of the
regular setup and returns early.
Move the ida_init() and its devres registration to the entry of the whole
function, so that the ida is ready by the time the adoption path runs.

An ASID tags the TLB entries within one SMMU, so two instances can use the
same ASID without ever aliasing each other. Yet the driver allocates them
out of a single global xarray, which makes the instances share a space that
the hardware keeps apart, and lets one instance exhaust the IDs of another.
That global space is a leftover from the BTM support that shared ASIDs with
the CPU. Now ARM_SMMU_FEAT_BTM is never set, nothing looks a domain up by
its ASID, and a domain is pinned to one SMMU at the attach.
Give each SMMU its own asid_map, mirroring the per-SMMU vmid_map, and clean
it up with devres, so that both of the ID maps get the same lifetime as the
SMMU device structure that holds them. An upcoming change will need this,
to reserve the crashed kernel's in-use ASIDs in the new map during a kdump
kernel's stream table adoption.
Note that arm_smmu_asid_lock stays global, as it serializes the STE and CD
updates against any ASID change rather than guarding the map itself, which
does its own locking. Giving each SMMU its own lock looks possible now, but
that would touch every attach path and belongs to a separate change.

The driver programs and enables the event queue unconditionally, while the
PRI queue has an ARM_SMMU_FEAT_PRI gating each of its touch points. Yet a
kdump kernel wants to leave both of the queues alone, which would take an
is_kdump_kernel() test at every one of those places.
Add an ARM_SMMU_FEAT_EVTQ that the probe always sets, as the event queue is
architecturally mandatory, and gate the queue's allocation, its interrupt
and its CR0 and IRQ_CTRL enables on it, so that a later change can turn the
queue off in a single place.
No functional change intended.

A kdump kernel cannot use either queue. The crashed kernel's CDs and page
tables might be corrupted, so events would spam the EVTQ, and there is no
way to serve the page requests that would arrive at the PRIQ.
The reset routine still enables both of the queues and then masks the two
enable bits back out, having already programmed the queue bases and taken
the interrupts of both.
Clear ARM_SMMU_FEAT_EVTQ and ARM_SMMU_FEAT_PRI in the probe instead, so all
of the queue handling, i.e. the interrupts, the IRQ_CTRL bits and the CR0
enables, keeps away from a kdump kernel via the feature tests.
Both queues also go unallocated now, as the two allocations test the same
features. Each of them is sized from the maxima that IDR1 advertises, so up
to 4MB apiece on a 4K-page kernel, which a kdump kernel would otherwise pay
for every SMMU instance out of a small crashkernel reservation.
The IOPF workqueue of the event queue stays allocated here, as untangling
it from the SVA and the stall features takes a pair of changes carried by
the PRI series. It costs a struct and a workqueue rather than the megabytes
that the two queues take, so leave it to that series.

When booting after a kexec, both the kdump adoption and also the in-flight
SMMUv3 live-update restoration built on the Kexec Handover (KHO) framework
need to parse the previous kernel's STRTAB_BASE/STRTAB_BASE_CFG registers,
in order to retain the stream table translating any in-flight DMAs.
Add a new arm-smmu-v3-kexec.c holding the common read-only helpers:
- arm_smmu_kexec_parse_strtab_2lvl()
- arm_smmu_kexec_parse_strtab_linear()
- arm_smmu_kexec_check_strtab_l1_desc()
These helpers only validate the previous kernel's values against this very
kernel's own limits, taking no ownership of the tables: a kdump kernel will
adopt the tables via memremaps, while a live-update kernel will claim them
using the KHO restore API.
Build this new file under a hidden ARM_SMMU_V3_KEXEC Kconfig symbol, which
is, for now, merely a CRASH_DUMP. Then, the coming live-update series would
need to append its own user to this symbol, e.g. "|| IOMMU_LIVEUPDATE".

When transitioning to a kdump kernel, the primary kernel might have crashed
while endpoint devices were actively bus-mastering DMA. Currently, the SMMU
driver aggressively resets the hardware during probe by clearing CR0_SMMUEN
and setting the Global Bypass Attribute (GBPA) to ABORT.
In a kdump scenario, this aggressive reset is highly destructive:
a) If GBPA is set to ABORT, in-flight DMA will be aborted, generating fatal
PCIe AER or SErrors that may panic the kdump kernel
b) If GBPA is set to BYPASS, in-flight DMA targeting some IOVAs will bypass
the SMMU and corrupt the physical memory at those 1:1 mapped IOVAs.
To safely absorb in-flight DMAs, a kdump kernel will have to leave SMMUEN=1
intact and avoid modifying STRTAB_BASE, allowing HW to continue translating
in-flight DMAs reusing the crashed kernel's page tables until the endpoint
device drivers probe and quiesce their respective hardware.
However, the ARM SMMUv3 architecture specification states that updating the
SMMU_STRTAB_BASE register while SMMUEN == 1 is UNPREDICTABLE or ignored.
This leaves a kdump kernel no choice but to adopt the stream table from the
crashed kernel.
Introduce ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT and adopt functions memremapping all the
stream tables extracted from STRTAB_BASE and STRTAB_BASE_CFG. Add them in
a new arm-smmu-v3-kdump.c, which is only built when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.
Note that the adoption of the crashed kernel's stream table follows certain
strict rules, since the old stream table might be compromised. Thus, apply
some basic validations against the values read from the registers. If tests
fail, it means the stream table cannot be trusted, so toss it entirely. To
avoid OOM due to a potentially corrupted stream table, the memremap for l2
tables is done lazily on the kdump kernel's demand.
The new option will be set in a following change, once the device reset and
the RMR setup are reworked not to overwrite the adopted stream table, and
the crashed kernel's in-use ASIDs and VMIDs are reserved.

+ * Implementation of the kdump stream table adoption for ARM SMMUv3
+ *
+ * When the crashed kernel left the SMMU enabled with in-flight DMAs, the kdump
+ * kernel adopts the crashed kernel's stream tables, instead of doing a regular
+ * reset, to keep in-flight DMAs translating until the endpoint device drivers
+ * re-probe and quiesce their devices.
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * - Adoption only starts on an SMMU that the crashed kernel left enabled, as a
+ * disabled SMMU (CR0_SMMUEN=0) could hold meaningless register values.
+ * - Values read from the crashed kernel's registers get structural validation
+ * only (format, size, span, alignment, and ID range); the physical addresses
+ * are not vetted, as the kdump kernel has no record of which pages held the
+ * tables.
+ * - A structural inconsistency at adoption time tosses the entire adoption and
+ * makes the SMMU fall back to a full reset blocking in-flight DMAs.
+ * - L2 stream tables are adopted lazily at master-inserting time, to bound the
+ * peak memory use against a corrupted L1 table; any lazy L2 adoption failure
+ * rejects that device alone, as its blast radius is bounded to the bus.
+ * - Only a coherent SMMU (ARM_SMMU_FEAT_COHERENCY) is supported, as the stream
+ * table adoption is done by memremap with MEMREMAP_WB, which is verified on
+ * the real hardware. Callers of these functions are responsible for gating
+ * ARM_SMMU_FEAT_COHERENCY once during the probe.

An S1 STE points to a CD table that both of the kexec flavors decode: the
kdump adoption scans the CD table to reserve all the in-use ASIDs, and the
live-update restoration claims the CD table via the KHO restore API.
Add another read-only helper to the arm-smmu-v3-kexec.c:
- arm_smmu_kexec_check_ste_cdtab()
It validates the CD table geometry in an S1 STE against this kernel's own
ssid_bits and the 2-level HW capability. And it accepts a linear CD table
on the 2-level capable HW too, since a previous kernel might have used one,
like the linear stream table.
The CD table base gets validated against the table size as well, since the
spec aligns a CD table to its own size, where an unaligned base would be a
CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE case: HW may zero its low bits or may fetch any
CD in the table, so a scan reading such a base could miss the CDs in use.

An adopted stream table keeps translating in-flight DMAs, so the SMMU also
keeps caching the TLB entries tagged with the previous kernel's ASIDs and
VMIDs. Any kexec flavor retaining those translations must reserve all the
in-use IDs, so that this kernel cannot ever give any of its own domains an
overlapping ID that would alias the previous kernel's cached TLB entries.
Add the reservation helpers to arm-smmu-v3-kexec.c:
- arm_smmu_kexec_scan_and_resv_ids()
- arm_smmu_kexec_unresv_ids()
At adoption time, arm_smmu_kexec_scan_and_resv_ids() runs a one-off scan:
walking the stream table set up in the strtab_cfg and every CD table behind
an S1 STE, it reserves the ASIDs in the asid xarray and the S2VMIDs in the
vmid ida. The scan memremaps each table transiently, which is a necessity
even for a live update: the ID reservation must be complete by the end of
the SMMU probe itself, before this kernel starts allocating any ID for its
own domains, yet the CD tables are only claimed when their masters get to
re-probe, long after that point. Thus, the scan cannot rely on any claimed
mapping and must map each table by itself.
The scan walks untrusted tables, yet every loop is strictly index-bounded:
the iteration counts derive from the log2size and s1cdmax fields, which are
validated against this kernel's own sid_bits and ssid_bits, so a corrupted
table cannot extend the walk.
The ASID space is per SMMU instance and the scan runs before its own SMMU
registers with the IOMMU core, i.e. before any domain of that SMMU can hold
an ASID. So it reserves via xa_reserve(), and a failing scan just empties
the xarray and the ida, since they hold nothing else at that point.

The adopted stream table keeps translating in-flight DMA, so the SMMU keeps
caching TLB entries tagged with the crashed kernel's ASIDs and VMIDs. If
this kernel handed one of those IDs to its own domain, the new domain's DMA
could hit the crashed kernel's cached translations, e.g. a stale entry left
behind by an invalidation that the crash cut short.
Scan the adopted stream table at adoption time, reserving every ID in use
via arm_smmu_kexec_scan_and_resv_ids(), and roll all of them back through
arm_smmu_kexec_unresv_ids() should the scan fail.
A nested STE's guest-owned CD table is left alone, since its ASIDs live in
a space of their own under that STE's VMID. Reserving that VMID covers all
of them, so there is no reason for the scan to walk the (VMID, ASID) pairs
behind it. The only ASIDs needing a reservation are those in the space that
this kernel uses for its own domains.
Note that, on an E2H/VHE host, the kernel's stage-1 domains are tagged by
the EL2 ASID, and the TLBI_EL2_* commands take no VMID. So isolating this
kernel by a reserved VMID alone would not work. Reserving the ASIDs covers
both the E2H and the NSEL1 cases.
Reservations are never released: a kdump kernel reboots after it saves the
vmcore, and the full-reset fallback flushes the entire TLB, which turns any
stale reservation into a merely unused ID.
If the scan finds any inconsistent structure, toss the entire adoption and
fall back to the full reset.

Though the kdump kernel adopts the crashed kernel's stream table, the iommu
core will still try to attach each probed device to a default domain, which
overwrites the adopted STE and breaks in-flight DMA from that device.
Implement an is_attach_deferred() callback to prevent this. For each device
that has STE.V=1 and STE.Cfg!=Abort in the adopted table, defer the default
domain attachment, until the device driver explicitly requests it.
Also, move arm_smmu_get_step_for_sid() to the header for the kdump function
to use.

When ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT is detected, do not disable SMMUEN and skip
the CR1/CR2/STRTAB_BASE update sequence in arm_smmu_device_reset(). Those
register writes are all CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE while CR0_SMMUEN==1, so
leaving them intact lets in-flight DMAs continue to be translated by the
adopted stream table.
Initialize 'enables' to 0, so it can carry the retained CR0 fields in the
kdump case, clearing only the queue enable bits. Then, preserve them when
enabling the command queue.
The retained CR0 keeps the crashed kernel's ATSCHK too, which selects the
fast (0) or the safe (1) mode for the ATS translated traffic. Switching to
the safe mode would start checking the in-flight traffic against STE.EATS
fields that the crashed kernel never set up for a check, aborting the very
DMAs being carried.
Clear latched gerror bits if necessary.

RMR bypass STEs are installed during SMMUv3 probe for StreamIDs listed by
IORT RMR nodes. A normal boot switches the driver to a fresh stream table
whose initial STEs abort, so those RMR SIDs need bypass entries before it
becomes live. This preserves firmware/guest-owned traffic, including vSMMU
guest MSI cases built around RMR-described SIDs.
ARM_SMMU_OPT_KDUMP_ADOPT is the opposite case: the driver keeps SMMUEN set
and adopts the crashed kernel's stream table, so RMR SIDs already have the
only translation state known to be safe for active in-flight DMA. Replacing
an adopted STE with bypass can turn translated DMA into physical DMA, then
point it at the wrong memory.
arm_smmu_make_bypass_ste() also rewrites the STE in place after clearing it
first. While the table is live, a concurrent hardware STE fetch can observe
V=0 or mixed old/new state.
Leaving the adopted STE unmodified keeps the kdump kernel using the crashed
kernel's translation. That gives the endpoint driver a chance to probe and
quiesce the device.
If the old STE was already abort or invalid, installing bypass would create
new DMA permission; leaving it alone is a safer failure mode. Later domain
setup still gets the RMR direct mappings through the reserved-region path.

arm_smmu_device_hw_probe() runs before arm_smmu_init_structures(), so it's
natural to decide whether the kdump kernel must adopt the crashed kernel's
stream table.
Given that memremap is used to adopt the old stream table, set this option
only on a coherent SMMU.
And make sure SMMU isn't in Service Failure Mode.
