[PATCH v4 0/3] Allow ATS to be always on for certain ATS-capable devices

[PATCH v4 0/3] Allow ATS to be always on for certain ATS-capable devices

[Nicolin Chen]

PCI ATS function is controlled by the IOMMU driver calling pci_enable_ats()
and pci_disable_ats() helpers. In general, IOMMU driver only enables ATS
when a translation channel is enabled on a PASID, typically for an SVA use
case. When a device's RID is IOMMU bypassed and its PASIDs are not running
SVA use case, ATS is always disabled.

However, certain PCIe devices require non-PASID ATS on the RID, even if the
RID is IOMMU bypassed. E.g. CXL.cache capability requires ATS to access the
physical memory; some pre-CXL NVIDIA GPUs also require the ATS to be always
on even when their RIDs are IOMMU bypassed.

Provide a helper function to detect CXL.cache capability and scan through a
pre-CXL device ID list.

As the initial use case, call the helper in ARM SMMUv3 driver and adapt the
driver accordingly with a per-device ats_always_on flag.

[PATCH v4 1/3] PCI: Allow ATS to be always on for CXL.cache capable devices

[Nicolin Chen]

Controlled by the IOMMU driver, ATS is usually enabled "on demand" when a
given PASID on a device is attached to an I/O page table. This is working
even when a device has no translation on its RID (i.e., the RID is IOMMU
bypassed).

However, certain PCIe devices require non-PASID ATS on their RID even when
the RID is IOMMU bypassed. Call this "always on".

For example, CXL spec r4.0 notes in sec 3.2.5.13 Memory Type on CXL.cache:
 "To source requests on CXL.cache, devices need to get the Host Physical
  Address (HPA) from the Host by means of an ATS request on CXL.io."

In other words, the CXL.cache capability requires ATS; otherwise, it can't
access host physical memory.

Introduce a new pci_ats_always_on() helper for the IOMMU driver to scan a
PCI device and shift ATS policies between "on demand" and "always on".

Add the support for CXL.cache devices first. Pre-CXL devices will be added
in quirks.c file.

Note that pci_ats_always_on() validates against pci_ats_supported(), so we
ensure that untrusted devices (e.g. external ports) will not be always on.
This maintains the existing ATS security policy regarding potential side-
channel attacks via ATS.

[PATCH v4 2/3] PCI: Allow ATS to be always on for pre-CXL devices

[Nicolin Chen]

Some NVIDIA GPU/NIC devices, though they don't implement CXL config space,
have many CXL-like properties. Call this kind "pre-CXL".

Similar to CXL.cache capability, these pre-CXL devices also require the ATS
function even when their RIDs are IOMMU bypassed, i.e. keep ATS "always on"
v.s. "on demand" when a non-zero PASID line gets enabled in SVA use cases.

Introduce pci_dev_specific_ats_always_on() quirk function to scan a list of
IDs for these devices. Then, include it in pci_ats_always_on().

[PATCH v4 3/3] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Allow ATS to be always on

[Nicolin Chen]

When a device's default substream attaches to an identity domain, the SMMU
driver currently sets the device's STE between two modes:

  Mode 1: Cfg=Translate, S1DSS=Bypass, EATS=1
  Mode 2: Cfg=bypass (EATS is ignored by HW)

When there is an active PASID (non-default substream), mode 1 is used. And
when there is no PASID support or no active PASID, mode 2 is used.

The driver will also downgrade an STE from mode 1 to mode 2, when the last
active substream becomes inactive.

However, there are PCIe devices that demand ATS to be always on. For these
devices, their STEs have to use the mode 1 as HW ignores EATS with mode 2.

Change the driver accordingly:
  - always use the mode 1
  - never downgrade to mode 2
  - allocate and retain a CD table (see note below)

Note that these devices might not support PASID, i.e. doing non-PASID ATS.
In such a case, the ssid_bits is set to 0. However, s1cdmax must be set to
a !0 value in order to keep the S1DSS field effective. Thus, when a master
requires ats_always_on, set its s1cdmax to at least 1, meaning that the CD
table will have a dummy entry (SSID=1) that will never be used.

Now for these devices, arm_smmu_cdtab_allocated() will always return true,
v.s. false prior to this change. When its default substream is attached to
an IDENTITY domain, its first CD is NULL in the table, which is a totally
valid case. Thus, add "!master->ats_always_on" to the condition.
