The main change is to move secondary TLB invalidation mmu notifier

makes secondary TLB invalidation mostly match CPU invalidation while
still allowing efficient range based invalidations based on the
existing TLB batching code.

==========
Background
==========

The arm64 architecture specifies TLB permission bits may be cached and
therefore the TLB must be invalidated during permission upgrades. For
the CPU this currently occurs in the architecture specific
ptep_set_access_flags() routine.

Secondary TLBs such as implemented by the SMMU IOMMU match the CPU
architecture specification and may also cache permission bits and
require the same TLB invalidations. This may be achieved in one of two
ways.

Some SMMU implementations implement broadcast TLB maintenance
(BTM). This snoops CPU TLB invalidates and will invalidate any
secondary TLB at the same time as the CPU. However implementations are
not required to implement BTM.

So, the implementations with BTM do not even need a MMU notifier callback
for secondary TLB invalidation purpose ? Perhaps mmu_notifier_register()
could also be skipped for such cases i.e with ARM_SMMU_FEAT_BTM enabled ?

BTW, dont see ARM_SMMU_FEAT_BTM being added as a feature any where during
the probe i.e arm_smmu_device_hw_probe().

Implementations without BTM rely on mmu notifier callbacks to send
explicit TLB invalidation commands to invalidate SMMU TLB. Therefore
either generic kernel code or architecture specific code needs to call
the mmu notifier on permission upgrade.

Currently that doesn't happen so devices will fault indefinitely when
writing to a PTE that was previously read-only as nothing invalidates
the SMMU TLB.

Why does not the current SMMU MMU notifier intercept all invalidation from
generic MM code and do the required secondary TLB invalidation ? Is there
a timing issue involved here ? Secondary TLB invalidation does happen but
after the damage has been done ? Could you please point us to a real world
bug report taking such indefinite faults as mentioned above ?

========
Solution
========

To fix this the series first renames the .invalidate_range() callback
to .arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() as suggested by Jason and Sean to
make it clear this callback is only used for secondary TLBs. That was
made possible thanks to Sean's series [1] to remove KVM's incorrect
usage.

Based on feedback from Jason [2] the proposed solution to the bug is
to move the calls to mmu_notifier_arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs()
closer to the architecture specific TLB invalidation code. This
ensures the secondary TLB won't miss invalidations, including the
existing invalidation in the ARM64 code to deal with permission
upgrade.

ptep_set_access_flags() is the only problematic place where this issue
is being reported ? If yes, why dont fix that instead of moving these
into platform specific callbacks ? OR there are other problematic areas
I might be missing.

Currently only ARM64, PowerPC and x86 have IOMMU with secondary TLBs
requiring SW invalidation so the notifier is only called for those
architectures. It is also not called for invalidation of kernel
mappings as no secondary IOMMU implementations can access those and
hence it is not required.

  mm_notifiers: Rename invalidate_range notifier
  arm64/smmu: Use TLBI ASID when invalidating entire range
  mmu_notifiers: Call arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() when invalidating TLBs
  mmu_notifiers: Don't invalidate secondary TLBs as part of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()
