[PATCH] Xen-SWIOTLB fixes (v2) for 3.7

The original problem I mentioned in the above mentioned URL:
"if one boots a PV 64-bit guests with more than 4GB, the SWIOTLB [Xen]
gets turned on - and 64MB of precious low-memory gets used." was totally
bogus. The SWIOTLB that gets turned on is the *native* one - which does
not exhaust any low-memory of the host. But it does eat up perfectly
fine 64MB of the guest and never gets used.

So this patchset has some things I wanted to do for some time:
 [PATCH 1/5] xen/swiotlb: Simplify the logic.

Just so that next time I am not confused.
 [PATCH 2/5] xen/swiotlb: With more than 4GB on 64-bit, disable the

and don''t turn the *native* SWIOTLB on PV guests and waste those 64MB.

Here are the exciting new patches - basically I want to emulate what
IA64 does which is to turn on the SWIOTLB late in the bootup cycle.
This means not using the alloc_bootmem and having a "late" variant
to initialize SWIOTLB. There is some surgery in the SWIOTLB library:
 [PATCH 3/5] swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization function

to allow it to use an io_tlb passed in. Note: I hadn''t tested this
on IA64 and that is something I need to do.

And then the implementation in the Xen-SWIOTLB to use it:
 [PATCH 4/5] xen/swiotlb: Use the swiotlb_late_init_with_tbl to init
along with Xen PCI frontend to utilize it.
 [PATCH 5/5] xen/pcifront: Use Xen-SWIOTLB when initting if required.

The end result is that a PV guest can now dynamically(*) deal with
PCI passthrough cards. I say "dynamically" b/c if one boots a PV guest
with more than 3GB without using ''e820_hole'' (or is it called
''e820_host''
now?) the PCI subsystem won''t be able to squeeze the BARs as they
are RAM occupied. The workaround is to boot with ''e820_hole''
or some
new work where we manipulate at boot time the E820 to leave a nice
big 1GB hole under 4G - and with all the work on the P2M tree that
should be fairly easy actually.

Note: If one uses ''iommu=soft'' on the Linux command line, the
Xen-SWIOTLB
still gets turned on.

[PATCH 1/5] xen/swiotlb: Simplify the logic.

Its pretty easy:
 1). We only check to see if we need Xen SWIOTLB for PV guests.
 2). If swiotlb=force or iommu=soft is set, then Xen SWIOTLB will
     be enabled.
 3). If it is an initial domain, then Xen SWIOTLB will be enabled.
 4). Native SWIOTLB must be disabled for PV guests.

[PATCH 2/5] xen/swiotlb: With more than 4GB on 64-bit, disable the native SWIOTLB.

If a PV guest is booted the native SWIOTLB should not be
turned on. It does not help us (we don''t have any PCI devices)
and it eats 64MB of good memory. In the case of PV guests
with PCI devices we need the Xen-SWIOTLB one.

[PATCH 3/5] swiotlb: add the late swiotlb initialization function with iotlb memory

This enables the caller to initialize swiotlb with its own iotlb
memory late in the bootup.

See git commit eb605a5754d050a25a9f00d718fb173f24c486ef
"swiotlb: add swiotlb_tbl_map_single library function" which will
explain the full details of what it can be used for.

With this patch we provide the functionality to initialize the
Xen-SWIOTLB late in the bootup cycle - specifically for
Xen PCI-frontend. We still will work if the user had
supplied ''iommu=soft'' on the Linux command line.

[PATCH 5/5] xen/pcifront: Use Xen-SWIOTLB when initting if required.

We piggyback on "xen/swiotlb: Use the swiotlb_late_init_with_tbl to init
Xen-SWIOTLB late when PV PCI is used." functionality to start up
the Xen-SWIOTLB if we are hot-plugged. This allows us to bypass
the need to supply ''iommu=soft'' on the Linux command line
(mostly).
With this patch, if a user forgot ''iommu=soft'' on the command
line,
and hotplug a PCI device they will get:

The "Warning only" will go away if one supplies
''iommu=soft'' instead
as we have a higher chance of being able to allocate large swaths of
memory.

Maybe rewording it would be a good idea:

/* pci_swiotlb_detect_4gb turns on native SWIOTLB if no_iommu == 0
 * (so no iommu=X command line over-writes).
 * Considering that PV guests don''t normally have PCI devices it is not

commit 21ef55f4ab2b6d63eb0ed86abbc959d31377853b

    xen/swiotlb: With more than 4GB on 64-bit, disable the native SWIOTLB.
    
    If a PV guest is booted the native SWIOTLB should not be
    turned on. It does not help us (we don''t have any PCI devices)
    and it eats 64MB of good memory. In the case of PV guests
    with PCI devices we need the Xen-SWIOTLB one.
