In init_winctx_regs(), __pa() is called on winctx->rx_fifo and this
function is called to initialize registers for receive and fault
windows. But the real address is passed in winctx->rx_fifo for
receive windows and the virtual address for fault windows which
causes errors with DEBUG_VIRTUAL enabled. Fixes this issue by
assigning only real address to rx_fifo in vas_rx_win_attr struct
for both receive and fault windows.

Many elements in vas_struct are used on PowerNV and PowerVM
platforms. vas_window is used for both TX and RX windows on
PowerNV and for TX windows on PowerVM. So some elements are
specific to these platforms.
So this patch defines common vas_window and platform
specific window structs (pnv_vas_window on PowerNV). Also adds
the corresponding changes in PowerNV vas code.

The kernel handles the NX fault by updating CSB or sending
signal to process. In multithread applications, children can
open VAS windows and can exit without closing them. But the
parent can continue to send NX requests with these windows. To
prevent pid reuse, reference will be taken on pid and tgid
when the window is opened and release them during window close.
The current code is not releasing the tgid reference which can
cause pid leak and this patch fixes the issue.

On power9, userspace can send GZIP compression requests directly to NX
once kernel establishes NX channel / window with VAS. This patch provides
user space API which allows user space to establish channel using open
VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN ioctl, mmap and close operations.
Each window corresponds to file descriptor and application can open
multiple windows. After the window is opened, VAS_TX_WIN_OPEN icoctl to
open a window on specific VAS instance, mmap() system call to map
the hardware address of engine's request queue into the application's
virtual address space.
Then the application can then submit one or more requests to the the
engine by using the copy/paste instructions and pasting the CRBs to
the virtual address (aka paste_address) returned by mmap().
Only NX GZIP coprocessor type is supported right now and allow GZIP
engine access via /dev/crypto/nx-gzip device node.
Thanks to Michael Ellerman for his changes and suggestions to make the
ioctl generic to support any coprocessor type.

set_thread_uses_vas() sets used_vas flag for a process that opened VAS
window and issue CP_ABORT during context switch for only that process.
In multi-thread application, windows can be shared. For example Thread
A can open a window and Thread B can run COPY/PASTE instructions to
send NX request which may cause corruption or snooping or a covert
channel Also once this flag is set, continue to run CP_ABORT even the
VAS window is closed.
So define vas-windows counter in process mm_context, increment this
counter for each window open and decrement it for window close. If
vas-windows is set, issue CP_ABORT during context switch. It means
clear the foreign real address mapping only if the process / thread
uses COPY/PASTE. Then disable it for that process if windows are not
open.
Moved set_thread_uses_vas() code to vas_tx_win_open() as this
functionality is needed only for userspace open windows. We are adding
VAS userspace support along with this fix. So no need to include this
fix in stable releases.

NX uses credit mechanism to control the number of requests issued on
a specific window at any point of time. Only send windows and fault
window are used credits. When the request is issued on a given window,
a credit is taken. This credit will be returned after that request is
processed. If credits are not available, returns RMA_Busy for send
window and RMA_Reject for fault window.
NX expects OS to return credit for send window after processing fault
CRB. Also credit has to be returned for fault window after handling
the fault.

When NX encounters translation error on CRB and any request buffer,
raises an interrupt on the CPU to handle the fault. It can raise one
interrupt for multiple faults. Expects OS to handle these faults and
return credits for fault window after processing faults.
Setup thread IRQ handler and IRQ thread function per each VAS instance.
IRQ handler checks if the thread is already woken up and can handle new
faults. If so returns with IRQ_HANDLED, otherwise wake up thread to
process new faults.
The thread functions reads each CRB entry from fault FIFO until sees
invalid entry. After reading each CRB, determine the corresponding
send window using pswid (from CRB) and process fault CRB. Then
invalidate the entry and return credit. Processing fault CRB and
return credit is described in subsequent patches.

When process opens a window, its pid and tgid will be saved in the
vas_window struct. This window will be closed when the process exits.
The kernel handles NX faults by updating CSB or send SEGV signal to pid
of the process if the userspace csb addr is invalid.
In multi-thread applications, a window can be opened by a child thread,
but it will not be closed when this thread exits. It is expected that
the parent will clean up all resources including NX windows opened by
child threads. A child thread can send NX requests using this window
and could be killed before completion is reported. If the pid assigned
to this thread is reused while requests are pending, a failure SEGV
would be directed to the wrong place.
To prevent reusing the pid, take references to pid and mm when the window
is opened and release them when when the window is closed. Then if child
thread is not running, SEGV signal will be sent to thread group leader
(tgid).

"Notable changes:

- A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
kernel crashes.
- Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.
- A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.
And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

cp_abort is only required for user windows, because kernel context
must not be preempted between a copy/paste pair.
Without this patch, the init task gets used_vas set when it runs the
nx842_powernv_init initcall, which opens windows for kernel usage.
used_vas is then never cleared anywhere, so it gets propagated into
all other tasks. It's a property of the address space, so it should
really be cleared when a new mm is created (or in dup_mmap if the
mmaps are marked as VM_DONTCOPY). For now we seem to have no such
driver, so leave that for another patch.
