2022-09-08vfio: Introduce the DMA logging feature supportYishai Hadas1-0/+1
Introduce the DMA logging feature support in the vfio core layer. It includes the processing of the device start/stop/report DMA logging UAPIs and calling the relevant driver 'op' to do the work. Specifically, Upon start, the core translates the given input ranges into an interval tree, checks for unexpected overlapping, non aligned ranges and then pass the translated input to the driver for start tracking the given ranges. Upon report, the core translates the given input user space bitmap and page size into an IOVA kernel bitmap iterator. Then it iterates it and call the driver to set the corresponding bits for the dirtied pages in a specific IOVA range. Upon stop, the driver is called to stop the previous started tracking. The next patches from the series will introduce the mlx5 driver implementation for the logging ops.

2020-10-07vfio/fsl-mc: Add VFIO framework skeleton for fsl-mc devicesBharat Bhushan1-0/+1
DPAA2 (Data Path Acceleration Architecture) consists in mechanisms for processing Ethernet packets, queue management, accelerators, etc. The Management Complex (mc) is a hardware entity that manages the DPAA2 hardware resources. It provides an object-based abstraction for software drivers to use the DPAA2 hardware. The MC mediates operations such as create, discover, destroy of DPAA2 objects. The MC provides memory-mapped I/O command interfaces (MC portals) which DPAA2 software drivers use to operate on DPAA2 objects. A DPRC is a container object that holds other types of DPAA2 objects. Each object in the DPRC is a Linux device and bound to a driver. The MC-bus driver is a platform driver (different from PCI or platform bus). The DPRC driver does runtime management of a bus instance. It performs the initial scan of the DPRC and handles changes in the DPRC configuration (adding/removing objects). All objects inside a container share the same hardware isolation context, meaning that only an entire DPRC can be assigned to a virtual machine. When a container is assigned to a virtual machine, all the objects within that container are assigned to that virtual machine. The DPRC container assigned to the virtual machine is not allowed to change contents (add/remove objects) by the guest. The restriction is set by the host and enforced by the mc hardware. The DPAA2 objects can be directly assigned to the guest. However the MC portals (the memory mapped command interface to the MC) need to be emulated because there are commands that configure the interrupts and the isolation IDs which are virtual in the guest. Example: echo vfio-fsl-mc > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/devices/dprc.2/driver_override echo dprc.2 > /sys/bus/fsl-mc/drivers/vfio-fsl-mc/bind The dprc.2 is bound to the VFIO driver and all the objects within dprc.2 are going to be bound to the VFIO driver. This patch adds the infrastructure for VFIO support for fsl-mc devices. Subsequent patches will add support for binding and secure assigning these devices using VFIO.

2018-09-25drivers/vfio: Allow type-1 IOMMU instantiation with all ARM/ARM64 IOMMUsGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+1
Currently the type-1 IOMMU instantiation depends on "ARM_SMMU || ARM_SMMU_V3", while it applies to other ARM/ARM64 platforms with an IOMMU (e.g. Renesas VMSA-compatible IPMMUs). Instead of extending the list of IOMMU types on ARM platforms, replace the list by "ARM || ARM64", like other architectures do. The feature is still restricted to ARM/ARM64 platforms with an IOMMU by the dependency on IOMMU_API.

2017-02-08vfio: Fix build break when SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU=nMichael Ellerman1-4/+2
Currently the kconfig logic for VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE and VFIO_SPAPR_EEH is broken when SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU=n. Leading to: warning: (VFIO) selects VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE which has unmet direct dependencies (VFIO && SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU) warning: (VFIO) selects VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE which has unmet direct dependencies (VFIO && SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU) drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c:113:8: error: implicit declaration of function 'mm_iommu_find' This stems from the fact that VFIO selects VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE, and although it has an if clause, the condition is not correct. We could fix it by doing select VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE if SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU, but the cleaner fix is to drop the selects and tie VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE to the value of VFIO, and express the dependencies in only once place. Do the same for VFIO_SPAPR_EEH. The end result is that the values of VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE and VFIO_SPAPR_EEH follow the value of VFIO, except when SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU=n and/or EEH=n.

2016-11-17vfio: Mediated device Core driverKirti Wankhede1-0/+1
Design for Mediated Device Driver: Main purpose of this driver is to provide a common interface for mediated device management that can be used by different drivers of different devices. This module provides a generic interface to create the device, add it to mediated bus, add device to IOMMU group and then add it to vfio group. Below is the high Level block diagram, with Nvidia, Intel and IBM devices as example, since these are the devices which are going to actively use this module as of now. +---------------+ | | | +-----------+ | mdev_register_driver() +--------------+ | | | +<------------------------+ __init() | | | mdev | | | | | | bus | +------------------------>+ |<-> VFIO user | | driver | | probe()/remove() | vfio_mdev.ko | APIs | | | | | | | +-----------+ | +--------------+ | | | MDEV CORE | | MODULE | | mdev.ko | | +-----------+ | mdev_register_device() +--------------+ | | | +<------------------------+ | | | | | | nvidia.ko |<-> physical | | | +------------------------>+ | device | | | | callback +--------------+ | | Physical | | | | device | | mdev_register_device() +--------------+ | | interface | |<------------------------+ | | | | | | i915.ko |<-> physical | | | +------------------------>+ | device | | | | callback +--------------+ | | | | | | | | mdev_register_device() +--------------+ | | | +<------------------------+ | | | | | | ccw_device.ko|<-> physical | | | +------------------------>+ | device | | | | callback +--------------+ | +-----------+ | +---------------+ Core driver provides two types of registration interfaces: 1. Registration interface for mediated bus driver: /** * struct mdev_driver - Mediated device's driver * @name: driver name * @probe: called when new device created * @remove:called when device removed * @driver:device driver structure * **/ struct mdev_driver { const char *name; int (*probe) (struct device *dev); void (*remove) (struct device *dev); struct device_driver driver; }; Mediated bus driver for mdev device should use this interface to register and unregister with core driver respectively: int mdev_register_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv, struct module *owner); void mdev_unregister_driver(struct mdev_driver *drv); Mediated bus driver is responsible to add/delete mediated devices to/from VFIO group when devices are bound and unbound to the driver. 2. Physical device driver interface This interface provides vendor driver the set APIs to manage physical device related work in its driver. APIs are : * dev_attr_groups: attributes of the parent device. * mdev_attr_groups: attributes of the mediated device. * supported_type_groups: attributes to define supported type. This is mandatory field. * create: to allocate basic resources in vendor driver for a mediated device. This is mandatory to be provided by vendor driver. * remove: to free resources in vendor driver when mediated device is destroyed. This is mandatory to be provided by vendor driver. * open: open callback of mediated device * release: release callback of mediated device * read : read emulation callback. * write: write emulation callback. * ioctl: ioctl callback. * mmap: mmap emulation callback. Drivers should use these interfaces to register and unregister device to mdev core driver respectively: extern int mdev_register_device(struct device *dev, const struct parent_ops *ops); extern void mdev_unregister_device(struct device *dev); There are no locks to serialize above callbacks in mdev driver and vfio_mdev driver. If required, vendor driver can have locks to serialize above APIs in their driver.

2015-12-22vfio: Include No-IOMMU modeAlex Williamson1-0/+15
There is really no way to safely give a user full access to a DMA capable device without an IOMMU to protect the host system. There is also no way to provide DMA translation, for use cases such as device assignment to virtual machines. However, there are still those users that want userspace drivers even under those conditions. The UIO driver exists for this use case, but does not provide the degree of device access and programming that VFIO has. In an effort to avoid code duplication, this introduces a No-IOMMU mode for VFIO. This mode requires building VFIO with CONFIG_VFIO_NOIOMMU and enabling the "enable_unsafe_noiommu_mode" option on the vfio driver. This should make it very clear that this mode is not safe. Additionally, CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges are necessary to work with groups and containers using this mode. Groups making use of this support are named /dev/vfio/noiommu-$GROUP and can only make use of the special VFIO_NOIOMMU_IOMMU for the container. Use of this mode, specifically binding a device without a native IOMMU group to a VFIO bus driver will taint the kernel and should therefore not be considered supported. This patch includes no-iommu support for the vfio-pci bus driver only. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

2015-03-17vfio: Split virqfd into a separate module for vfio bus driversAlex Williamson1-0/+5
An unintended consequence of commit 42ac9bd18d4f ("vfio: initialize the virqfd workqueue in VFIO generic code") is that the vfio module is renamed to vfio_core so that it can include both vfio and virqfd. That's a user visible change that may break module loading scritps and it imposes eventfd support as a dependency on the core vfio code, which it's really not. virqfd is intended to be provided as a service to vfio bus drivers, so instead of wrapping it into vfio.ko, we can make it a stand-alone module toggled by vfio bus drivers.

Add PCI device support for VFIO. PCI devices expose regions for accessing config space, I/O port space, and MMIO areas of the device.

2012-07-31vfio: VFIO coreAlex Williamson1-0/+8
VFIO is a secure user level driver for use with both virtual machines and user level drivers. VFIO makes use of IOMMU groups to ensure the isolation of devices in use, allowing unprivileged user access. It's intended that VFIO will replace KVM device assignment and UIO drivers (in cases where the target platform includes a sufficiently capable IOMMU). New in this version of VFIO is support for IOMMU groups managed through the IOMMU core as well as a rework of the API, removing the group merge interface. We now go back to a model more similar to original VFIO with UIOMMU support where the file descriptor obtained from /dev/vfio/vfio allows access to the IOMMU, but only after a group is added, avoiding the previous privilege issues with this type of model. IOMMU support is also now fully modular as IOMMUs have vastly different interface requirements on different platforms. VFIO users are able to query and initialize the IOMMU model of their choice. Please see the follow-on Documentation commit for further description and usage example. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com>
