Linus Torvalds b71428d7ab sound updates for 5.13
No surprises in this development cycle, and most of works are about
 the fixes and the improvements of the existing code, while a new LED
 control layer and a few new drivers have been introduced.
 
 Here are some highlights:
 
 Core:
 - A common mute-LED framework was introduced;
   used by HD-audio for now, more adaption will follow later.
   The former "Mic Mute-LED Mode" mixer control has been replaced with
   the corresponding sysfs now.
 - User-control management was changed to count consumed bytes instead
   of capping by number of elements;
   this will allow more controls in the normal usage pattern while
   avoiding the possible memory exhaustion DoS
 
 ASoC:
 - Continued refactoring and cleanups in ASoC core and generic card
   drivers
 - Wide range of small cppcheck and warning fixes
 - New drivers for Freescale i.MX DMA over rpmsg, Mediatek MT6358
    accessory detection, and Realtek RT1019, RT1316, RT711 and RT715
 
 USB-audio:
 - Continued improvements and fixes of the implicit feedback mode,
   including better support for Pioneer and Roland/BOSS devices
 
 HD-audio:
 - Default back to non-buffer preallocation on x86
 - Cirrus codec improvements, more quirks for Realtek codecs
 
 Others:
 - New virtio sound driver
 - FireWire Bebob updates
 
 Note that this PR includes a couple of changes in reset and SPI
 drivers, too, and some merge conflicts might happen.

David Hildenbrand 5f1f79bbc9 virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotplug
Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible
for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request.

When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is
queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be
plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part.

On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB ("subblock") granularity.
When required, a new memory block will be added (e.g., usually 128MB on
x86-64) in order to plug more subblocks. Only x86-64 was tested for now.

The online_page callback is used to keep unplugged subblocks offline
when onlining memory - similar to the Hyper-V balloon driver. Unplugged
pages are marked PG_offline, to tell dump tools (e.g., makedumpfile) to
skip them.

User space is usually responsible for onlining the added memory. The
memory hotplug notifier is used to synchronize virtio-mem activity
against memory onlining/offlining.

Each virtio-mem device can belong to a NUMA node, which allows us to
easily add/remove small chunks of memory to/from a specific NUMA node by
using multiple virtio-mem devices. Something that works even when the
guest has no idea about the NUMA topology.

One way to view virtio-mem is as a "resizable DIMM" or a DIMM with many
"sub-DIMMS".

This patch directly introduces the basic infrastructure to implement memory
unplug. Especially the memory block states and subblock bitmaps will be
heavily used there.

Notes:
- In case memory is to be onlined by user space, we limit the amount of
  offline memory blocks, to not run out of memory. This is esp. an
  issue if memory is added faster than it is getting onlined.
- Suspend/Hibernate is not supported due to the way virtio-mem devices
  behave. Limited support might be possible in the future.
- Reloading the device driver is not supported.

Stefan Hajnoczi a62a8ef9d9 virtio-fs: add virtiofs filesystem
Add a basic file system module for virtio-fs.  This does not yet contain
shared data support between host and guest or metadata coherency speedups.
However it is already significantly faster than virtio-9p.

Design Overview
===============

With the goal of designing something with better performance and local file
system semantics, a bunch of ideas were proposed.

 - Use fuse protocol (instead of 9p) for communication between guest and
   host.  Guest kernel will be fuse client and a fuse server will run on
   host to serve the requests.

 - For data access inside guest, mmap portion of file in QEMU address space
   and guest accesses this memory using dax.  That way guest page cache is
   bypassed and there is only one copy of data (on host).  This will also
   enable mmap(MAP_SHARED) between guests.

 - For metadata coherency, there is a shared memory region which contains
   version number associated with metadata and any guest changing metadata
   updates version number and other guests refresh metadata on next access.
   This is yet to be implemented.

How virtio-fs differs from existing approaches
==============================================

The unique idea behind virtio-fs is to take advantage of the co-location of
the virtual machine and hypervisor to avoid communication (vmexits).

DAX allows file contents to be accessed without communication with the
hypervisor.  The shared memory region for metadata avoids communication in
the common case where metadata is unchanged.

By replacing expensive communication with cheaper shared memory accesses,
we expect to achieve better performance than approaches based on network
file system protocols.  In addition, this also makes it easier to achieve
local file system semantics (coherency).

These techniques are not applicable to network file system protocols since
the communications channel is bypassed by taking advantage of shared memory
on a local machine.  This is why we decided to build virtio-fs rather than
focus on 9P or NFS.

Caching Modes
=============

Like virtio-9p, different caching modes are supported which determine the
coherency level as well.  The “cache=FOO” and “writeback” options control
the level of coherence between the guest and host filesystems.

 - cache=none
   metadata, data and pathname lookup are not cached in guest.  They are
   always fetched from host and any changes are immediately pushed to host.

 - cache=always
   metadata, data and pathname lookup are cached in guest and never expire.

 - cache=auto
   metadata and pathname lookup cache expires after a configured amount of
   time (default is 1 second).  Data is cached while the file is open
   (close to open consistency).

 - writeback/no_writeback
   These options control the writeback strategy.  If writeback is disabled,
   then normal writes will immediately be synchronized with the host fs.
   If writeback is enabled, then writes may be cached in the guest until
   the file is closed or an fsync(2) performed.  This option has no effect
   on mmap-ed writes or writes going through the DAX mechanism.

Pankaj Gupta 6e84200c0a virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver
This patch adds virtio-pmem driver for KVM guest.

Guest reads the persistent memory range information from
Qemu over VIRTIO and registers it on nvdimm_bus. It also
creates a nd_region object with the persistent memory
range information so that existing 'nvdimm/pmem' driver
can reserve this into system memory map. This way
'virtio-pmem' driver uses existing functionality of pmem
driver to register persistent memory compatible for DAX
capable filesystems.

This also provides function to perform guest flush over
VIRTIO from 'pmem' driver when userspace performs flush
on DAX memory range.

The virtio IOMMU is a para-virtualized device, allowing to send IOMMU
requests such as map/unmap over virtio transport without emulating page
tables. This implementation handles ATTACH, DETACH, MAP and UNMAP

The bulk of the code transforms calls coming from the IOMMU API into
corresponding virtio requests. Mappings are kept in an interval tree
instead of page tables. A little more work is required for modular and x86
support, so for the moment the driver depends on CONFIG_VIRTIO=y and
CONFIG_ARM64.

This patch adds a kms driver for the virtio gpu.  The xorg modesetting
driver can handle the device just fine, the framebuffer for fbcon is
there too.

Qemu patches for the host side are under review currently.

The pci version of the device comes in two variants: with and without
vga compatibility.  The former has a extra memory bar for the vga
framebuffer, the later is a pure virtio device.  The only concern for
this driver is that in the virtio-vga case we have to kick out the
firmware framebuffer.

Initial revision has only 2d support, 3d (virgl) support requires
some more work on the qemu side and will be added later.

This CAIF Link layer communicates to the modem over

The underlying virtio device is managed by the remoteproc
framework. The Virtio queue is used for transmitting data
to the modem, and the new vringh is used for receiving data.

Genalloc is used for managing the shared memory used for TX
data. The default dma-alloc-coherent allocator can only
allocate whole pages, and this wastes too much shared memory.

Flow control is implemented by stopping the TX-queues if the
virtio queues go full or we run out of memory. Queued are
reopened when queues are below the watermark.

NAPI is used in RX path, and a dedicated tasklet is used
for releasing TX buffers.
