Set up a File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) handler for the PCI core to enable
it to participate in the preservation of PCI devices across Live Update.
Essentially, this commit enables the PCI core to allocate a struct
(struct pci_ser) and preserve it across a Live Update whenever at least
one device is preserved.
Preserving PCI devices across Live Update is built on top of the Live
Update Orchestrator's (LUO) support for file preservation. Drivers are
expected to expose a file to userspace to represent a single PCI device
and support preservation of that file. This is intended primarily to
support preservation of PCI devices bound to VFIO drivers.
This commit enables drivers to register their liveupdate_file_handler
with the PCI core so that the PCI core can do its own tracking and
enforcement of which devices are preserved.
pci_liveupdate_register_flb(driver_file_handler);
pci_liveupdate_unregister_flb(driver_file_handler);
When the first file (with a handler registered with the PCI core) is
preserved, the PCI core will be notified to allocate its tracking struct
(pci_ser). When the last file is unpreserved (i.e. preservation
cancelled) the PCI core will be notified to free struct pci_ser.
This struct is preserved across a Live Update using KHO and can be
fetched by the PCI core during early boot (e.g. during device
enumeration) so that it knows which devices were preserved.
Note: This commit only allocates struct pci_ser and preserves it across
Live Update. A subsequent commit will add an API for drivers to tell the
PCI core exactly which devices are being preserved.
Note: There is no reason to check for kho_is_enabled() since it can be
assumed to return true. If KHO was not enabled then Live Update would
not be enabled and these routines would never run.

+ * DOC: PCI Live Update
+ *
+ * The PCI subsystem participates in the Live Update process to enable drivers
+ * to preserve their PCI devices across kexec.
+ *
+ * File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) Data
+ * ===============================
+ *
+ * PCI device preservation across Live Update is built on top of the Live Update
+ * Orchestrator's (LUO) support for file preservation across kexec. Drivers
+ * are expected to expose a file to represent a single PCI device and support
+ * preservation of that file with ``ioctl(LIVEUPDATE_SESSION_PRESERVE_FD)``.
+ * This allows userspace to control the preservation of devices and ensure
+ * proper lifecycle management while a device is preserved. The first intended
+ * use-case is preserving vfio-pci device files.
+ *
+ * The PCI core maintains its own state about what devices are being preserved
+ * across Live Update using a feature called File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) data in
+ * LUO. Essentially, this allows the PCI core to allocate struct pci_ser when
+ * the first device (file) is preserved and free it when the last device (file)
+ * is unpreserved. After kexec, the PCI core can fetch the struct pci_ser (which
+ * was constructed by the previous kernel) from LUO at any time (e.g. during
+ * enumeration) so that it knows which devices were preserved.
+ *
+ * To enable the PCI core to be notified whenever a file representing a device
+ * is preserved, drivers must register their struct liveupdate_file_handler with
+ * the PCI core by using the following APIs:
+ *
+ * * ``pci_liveupdate_register_flb(driver_file_handler)``
+ * * ``pci_liveupdate_unregister_flb(driver_file_handler)``

Add APIs to allow drivers to notify the PCI core of which devices are
being preserved across a Live Update for the next kernel, i.e.
"outgoing" devices.
Drivers must notify the PCI core when devices are preserved so that the
PCI core can update its FLB data (struct pci_ser) and track the list of
outgoing devices. pci_liveupdate_preserve() notifies the PCI core that a
device must be preserved across Live Update. pci_liveupdate_unpreserve()
reverses this (cancels the preservation of the device).
This tracking ensures the PCI core is fully aware of which devices may
need special handling during shutdown and kexec, and so that it can be
handed off to the next kernel.

During PCI enumeration, the previous kernel might have passed state about
devices that were preserved across kexec. The PCI core needs to fetch
this state to identify which devices are "incoming" and require special
handling.
Add pci_liveupdate_setup_device() which is called during device setup
to fetch the serialized state (struct pci_ser) from the Live Update
Orchestrator. The first time this happens, pci_flb_retrieve() will run
and convert the array of pci_dev_ser structs into an xarray so that it
can be looked up efficiently.
If a device is found in the xarray, the PCI core stores a pointer to its
state in dev->liveupdate_incoming and holds a reference to the incoming
FLB until pci_liveupdate_finish() is called by the driver.
This ensures proper lifecycle management for incoming preserved devices
and allows the PCI core and drivers to apply specific Live Update
logic to them in subsequent commits.
Drivers can check if a device is an incoming preserved device (e.g.
during probe) by calling pci_liveupdate_is_incoming().
CONFIG_64BIT is now required to enable CONFIG_PCI_LIVEUPDATE so that the
domain and bdf can be guaranteed to fit in an unsigned long and be used
as the xarray key.

core expects of drivers and users. Note that this is only a description
of the current division of responsibilities. These can change in the

During a Live Update, preserved devices must be allowed to continue
performing memory transactions so the kernel cannot change the fabric
topology, including bus numbers, since that would require disabling
and flushing any memory transactions first.
To keep bus numbers constant, always inherit the secondary and
subordinate bus numbers assigned to bridges during scanning, instead of
assigning new ones, if any PCI devices are being preserved. Note that
the kernel inherits bus numbers even on bridges without any downstream
endpoints that were preserved. This avoids accidentally assigning a
bridge a new window that overlaps with a preserved device that is
downstream of a different bridge.
If a bridge is scanned with a broken topology or has no bus numbers
set during a Live Update, refuse to assign it new bus numbers and refuse
to enumerate devices below it until the Live Update is finished. This is
a safety measure to prevent topology conflicts.
Require that CONFIG_CARDBUS is not enabled to enable
CONFIG_PCI_LIVEUPDATE since inheriting bus numbers on PCI-to-CardBus
bridges requires additional work but is not a priority at the moment.

When a PCI device is preserved across a Live Update, all of its upstream
bridges up to the root port must also be preserved. This enables the PCI
core and any drivers bound to the bridges to manage bridges correctly
across a Live Update.
Notably, this will be used in subsequent commits to ensure that
preserved devices can continue performing memory transactions without a
disruption or change in routing.
To preserve bridges, the PCI core tracks the number of downstream
devices preserved under each bridge using a reference count in struct
pci_dev_ser. This allows a bridge to remain preserved until all its
downstream preserved devices are unpreserved or finish their
participation in the Live Update.

Refactor the logic to match devices to pci_dev_acs_ops by factoring out
the loop and device matching into its own routine. This eliminates some
duplicate code between pci_dev_specific_enable_acs() and
pci_dev_specific_disable_acs_redir(), and will also be used in a
subsequent commit to check if a device requires device-specific
enable_acs() during a Live Update.
No functional change intended.

Inherit Access Control Services (ACS) flags on all incoming preserved
devices (endpoints and upstream bridges) during a Live Update.
Inheriting ACS flags avoids changing routing rules while memory
transactions are in flight from preserved devices. This is also strictly
necessary to ensure that IOMMU group assignments do not change across
a Live Update for preserved devices, as changing ACS configurations can
split or merge IOMMU groups.
Cache the inherited ACS controls established by the previous kernel in
struct pci_dev so that ACS controls do not change after a reset
(pci_restore_state() calls pci_enable_acs()).
To simplify ACS inheritance, reject preserving any devices that require
quirks to enable ACS as those quirks would also have to take Live Update
into account.

Inherit the ARI Forwarding Enable on preserved bridges and update
pci_dev->ari_enabled accordingly during a Live Update. This ensures that
the preserved devices on the bridge's secondary bus can be identified
with the same expanded 8-bit function number after a Live Update.

Freeze a device's outgoing preservation status (preserved or not
preserved) during shutdown. This enables the PCI core and drivers to
safely make decisions based on the device's preservation status during
shutdown.
Note that pci_liveupdate_freeze() is triggered by the PCI core rather
than from drivers participating in Live Update so that all devices can
have their status frozen (i.e. prevent non-preserved devices from
getting preserved late).

Do not disable bus mastering on outgoing preserved devices during
pci_device_shutdown() for kexec.
Preserved devices must be allowed to perform memory transactions during
a Live Update to ensure continuous operation. Clearing the bus
mastering bit would prevent these devices from issuing any memory
requests while the new kernel boots.
Because bridges upstream of preserved endpoint devices are also
automatically preserved, this change also avoids clearing bus mastering
on them. This is critical because clearing bus mastering on an upstream
bridge prevents the bridge from forwarding memory requests upstream (i.e.
it would prevent the endpoint device from accessing system RAM and doing
peer-to-peer transactions with devices not downstream of the bridge).

Add documentation files for the PCI subsystem's participation in Live
Update.
These documentation files are generated from the kernel-doc comments
in the PCI Live Update source code. They describe the File-Lifecycle
Bound (FLB) API, the device tracking API, and the specific policies
applied to preserved devices (such as bus number inheritance and bus
mastering preservation).
