This patch tries to do several tweaks on vhost_vq_avail_empty() for a
better performance:
- check cached avail index first which could avoid userspace memory access.
- using unlikely() for the failure of userspace access
- check vq->last_avail_idx instead of cached avail index as the last
step.
This patch is need for batching supports which needs to peek whether
or not there's still available buffers in the ring.

This patch tries to implement an device IOTLB for vhost. This could be
used with userspace(qemu) implementation of DMA remapping
to emulate an IOMMU for the guest.
The idea is simple, cache the translation in a software device IOTLB
(which is implemented as an interval tree) in vhost and use vhost_net
file descriptor for reporting IOTLB miss and IOTLB
update/invalidation. When vhost meets an IOTLB miss, the fault
address, size and access can be read from the file. After userspace
finishes the translation, it writes the translated address to the
vhost_net file to update the device IOTLB.
When device IOTLB is enabled by setting VIRTIO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM all vq
addresses set by ioctl are treated as iova instead of virtual address and
the accessing can only be done through IOTLB instead of direct userspace
memory access. Before each round or vq processing, all vq metadata is
prefetched in device IOTLB to make sure no translation fault happens
during vq processing.
In most cases, virtqueues are contiguous even in virtual address space.
The IOTLB translation for virtqueue itself may make it a little
slower. We might add fast path cache on top of this patch.

Current pre-sorted memory region array has some limitations for future
device IOTLB conversion:
1) need extra work for adding and removing a single region, and it's
expected to be slow because of sorting or memory re-allocation.
2) need extra work of removing a large range which may intersect
several regions with different size.
3) need trick for a replacement policy like LRU
To overcome the above shortcomings, this patch convert it to interval
tree which can easily address the above issue with almost no extra
work.
The patch could be used for:
- Extend the current API and only let the userspace to send diffs of
memory table.
- Simplify Device IOTLB implementation.

The default use case for vhost is when the host and the vring have the
same endianness (default native endianness). But there are cases where
they differ and vhost should byteswap when accessing the vring.
The first case is when the host is big endian and the vring belongs to
a virtio 1.0 device, which is always little endian.
This is covered by the vq->is_le field. This field is initialized when
userspace calls the VHOST_SET_FEATURES ioctl. It is reset when the device
stops.
We already have a vhost_init_is_le() helper, but the reset operation is
opencoded as follows:
vq->is_le = virtio_legacy_is_little_endian();
It isn't clear that we are resetting vq->is_le here.
This patch moves the code to a helper with a more explicit name.
The other case where we may have to byteswap is when the architecture can
switch endianness at runtime (bi-endian). If endianness differs in the host
and in the guest, then legacy devices need to be used in cross-endian mode.
This mode is available with CONFIG_VHOST_CROSS_ENDIAN_LEGACY=y, which
introduces a vq->user_be field. Userspace may enable cross-endian mode
by calling the SET_VRING_ENDIAN ioctl before the device is started. The
cross-endian mode is disabled when the device is stopped.
The current names of the helpers that manipulate vq->user_be are unclear.
This patch renames those helpers to clearly show that this is cross-endian
stuff and with explicit enable/disable semantics.
No behaviour change.

through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c ("stm class: Introduce
an abstraction for System Trace Module devices").
This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm
class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old
show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f
("configfs: remove old API") from this pull. As Alexander says about
that patch:
"There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the
awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed.
This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making
the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes.

That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully
bisectable.

commit 2751c9882b ("vhost: cross-endian
support for legacy devices") introduced a minor regression: even with
cross-endian disabled, and even on LE host, vhost_is_little_endian is
checking is_le flag so there's always a branch.
To fix, simply check virtio_legacy_is_little_endian first.
