    powerpc/powernv: Introduce address translation services for Nvlink2 · 1ab66d1f
    Alistair Popple authored
    Nvlink2 supports address translation services (ATS) allowing devices
    to request address translations from an mmu known as the nest MMU
    which is setup to walk the CPU page tables.
    
    To access this functionality certain firmware calls are required to
    setup and manage hardware context tables in the nvlink processing unit
    (NPU). The NPU also manages forwarding of TLB invalidates (known as
    address translation shootdowns/ATSDs) to attached devices.
    
    This patch exports several methods to allow device drivers to register
    a process id (PASID/PID) in the hardware tables and to receive
    notification of when a device should stop issuing address translation
    requests (ATRs). It also adds a fault handler to allow device drivers
    to demand fault pages in.
