"Those patches are continuation of my earlier work.
They contains extensions to DMA-mapping framework to remove limitation
of the current ARM implementation (like limited total size of DMA
coherent/write combine buffers), improve performance of buffer sharing
between devices (attributes to skip cpu cache operations or creation
of additional kernel mapping for some specific use cases) as well as
some unification of the common code for dma_mmap_attrs() and
dma_mmap_coherent() functions. All extensions have been implemented
and tested for ARM architecture."

This patch adds support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute for
dma_(un)map_(single,page,sg) functions family. It lets dma mapping clients
to create a mapping for the buffer for the given device without performing
a CPU cache synchronization. CPU cache synchronization can be skipped for
the buffers which it is known that they are already in 'device' domain (CPU
caches have been already synchronized or there are only coherent mappings
for the buffer). For advanced users only, please use it with care.

IOMMU-aware dma_alloc_attrs() implementation allocates buffers in
power-of-two chunks to improve performance and take advantage of large
page mappings provided by some IOMMU hardware. However current code, due
to a subtle bug, allocated those chunks in the smallest-to-largest
order, what completely killed all the advantages of using larger than
page chunks. If a 4KiB chunk has been mapped as a first chunk, the
consecutive chunks are not aligned correctly to the power-of-two which
match their size and IOMMU drivers were not able to use internal
mappings of size other than the 4KiB (largest common denominator of
alignment and chunk size).
This patch fixes this issue by changing to the correct largest-to-smallest
chunk size allocation sequence.

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).
Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.

This patch add a complete implementation of DMA-mapping API for
devices which have IOMMU support.
This implementation tries to optimize dma address space usage by remapping
all possible physical memory chunks into a single dma address space chunk.
DMA address space is managed on top of the bitmap stored in the
dma_iommu_mapping structure stored in device->archdata. Platform setup
code has to initialize parameters of the dma address space (base address,
size, allocation precision order) with arm_iommu_create_mapping() function.
To reduce the size of the bitmap, all allocations are aligned to the
specified order of base 4 KiB pages.
dma_alloc_* functions allocate physical memory in chunks, each with
alloc_pages() function to avoid failing if the physical memory gets
fragmented. In worst case the allocated buffer is composed of 4 KiB page
chunks.
dma_map_sg() function minimizes the total number of dma address space
chunks by merging of physical memory chunks into one larger dma address
space chunk. If requested chunk (scatter list entry) boundaries
match physical page boundaries, most calls to dma_map_sg() requests will
result in creating only one chunk in dma address space.
dma_map_page() simply creates a mapping for the given page(s) in the dma
address space.
All dma functions also perform required cache operation like their
counterparts from the arm linear physical memory mapping version.

This patch converts all dma_sg methods to be generic (independent of the
current DMA mapping implementation for ARM architecture). All dma sg
operations are now implemented on top of respective
dma_map_page/dma_sync_single_for* operations from dma_map_ops structure.
Before this patch there were custom methods for all scatter/gather
related operations. They iterated over the whole scatter list and called
cache related operations directly (which in turn checked if we use dma
bounce code or not and called respective version). This patch changes
them not to use such shortcut. Instead it provides similar loop over
scatter list and calls methods from the device's dma_map_ops structure.
This enables us to use device dependent implementations of cache related
operations (direct linear or dma bounce) depending on the provided
dma_map_ops structure.

This patch removes the need for the offset parameter in dma bounce
functions. This is required to let dma-mapping framework on ARM
architecture to use common, generic dma_map_ops based dma-mapping
helpers.
Background and more detailed explaination:
dma_*_range_* functions are available from the early days of the dma
mapping api. They are the correct way of doing a partial syncs on the
buffer (usually used by the network device drivers). This patch changes
only the internal implementation of the dma bounce functions to let
them tunnel through dma_map_ops structure. The driver api stays
unchanged, so driver are obliged to call dma_*_range_* functions to
keep code clean and easy to understand.
The only drawback from this patch is reduced detection of the dma api
abuse. Let us consider the following code:
dma_addr = dma_map_single(dev, ptr, 64, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu(dev, dma_addr+16, 0, 32, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
Without the patch such code fails, because dma bounce code is unable
to find the bounce buffer for the given dma_address. After the patch
the above sync call will be equivalent to:
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu(dev, dma_addr, 16, 32, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
which succeeds.
I don't consider this as a real problem, because DMA API abuse should be
caught by debug_dma_* function family. This patch lets us to simplify
the internal low-level implementation without chaning the driver visible
API.

The DMA coherent remap area is used to provide an uncached mapping
of memory for coherency with DMA engines. Currently, we look for
any free hole which our allocation will fit in with page alignment.
However, this can lead to fragmentation of the area, and allows small
allocations to cross L1 entry boundaries. This is undesirable as we
want to move towards allocating sections of memory.
Align allocations according to the size, limiting the alignment between

The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
is unmapped. This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
kunmap_atomic(). There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.
However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
cache is tagged with physical addresses. There is no need for a whole
cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
even when they become unmapped.
So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache. Unfortunately,
it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
virtual addresses only. Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.
And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
performance.
While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.
