Expose vfio_pci_core_iowrite/read##size() to let it be used by drivers.
This functionality is needed to enable direct access to some physical
BAR of the device with the proper locks/checks in place.
The next patches from this series will use this functionality on a data
path flow when a direct access to the BAR is needed.

Not all MSI-X devices support dynamic MSI-X allocation. Whether
a device supports dynamic MSI-X should be queried using
pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn().
Instead of scattering code with pci_msix_can_alloc_dyn(),
probe this ability once and store it as a property of the
virtual device.

struct vfio_pci_core_device contains eleven boolean flags.
Boolean flags clearly indicate their usage but space usage
starts to be a concern when there are many.
An upcoming change adds another boolean flag to
struct vfio_pci_core_device, thereby increasing the concern
that the boolean flags are consuming unnecessary space.
Transition the boolean flags to use bitfields. On a system that
uses one byte per boolean this reduces the space consumed
by existing flags from 11 bytes to 2 bytes with room for
a few more flags without increasing the structure's size.

struct vfio_pci_core_device::num_ctx counts how many interrupt
contexts have been allocated. When all interrupt contexts are
allocated simultaneously num_ctx provides the upper bound of all
vectors that can be used as indices into the interrupt context
array.
With the upcoming support for dynamic MSI-X the number of
interrupt contexts does not necessarily span the range of allocated
interrupts. Consequently, num_ctx is no longer a trusted upper bound
for valid indices.
Stop using num_ctx to determine if a provided vector is valid. Use
the existence of allocated interrupt.
This changes behavior on the error path when user space provides
an invalid vector range. Behavior changes from early exit without
any modifications to possible modifications to valid vectors within
the invalid range. This is acceptable considering that an invalid
range is not a valid scenario, see link to discussion.
The checks that ensure that user space provides a range of vectors
that is valid for the device are untouched.

Interrupt context is statically allocated at the time interrupts
are allocated. Following allocation, the context is managed by
directly accessing the elements of the array using the vector
as index. The storage is released when interrupts are disabled.
It is possible to dynamically allocate a single MSI-X interrupt
after MSI-X is enabled. A dynamic storage for interrupt context
is needed to support this. Replace the interrupt context array with an
xarray (similar to what the core uses as store for MSI descriptors)
that can support the dynamic expansion while maintaining the
custom that uses the vector as index.
With a dynamic storage it is no longer required to pre-allocate
interrupt contexts at the time the interrupts are allocated.
MSI and MSI-X interrupt contexts are only used when interrupts are
enabled. Their allocation can thus be delayed until interrupt enabling.
Only enabled interrupts will have associated interrupt contexts.
Whether an interrupt has been allocated (a Linux irq number exists
for it) becomes the criteria for whether an interrupt can be enabled.

This patch implements VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_ENTRY_WITH_WAKEUP
device feature. In the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_ENTRY, if there is
any access for the VFIO device on the host side, then the device will
be moved out of the low power state without the user's guest driver
involvement. Once the device access has been finished, then the host
can move the device again into low power state. With the low power
entry happened through VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_ENTRY_WITH_WAKEUP,
the device will not be moved back into the low power state and
a notification will be sent to the user by triggering wakeup eventfd.
vfio_pci_core_pm_entry() will be called for both the variants of low
power feature entry so add an extra argument for wakeup eventfd context
and store locally in 'struct vfio_pci_core_device'.
For the entry happened without wakeup eventfd, all the exit related
handling will be done by the LOW_POWER_EXIT device feature only.
When the LOW_POWER_EXIT will be called, then the vfio core layer
vfio_device_pm_runtime_get() will increment the usage count and will
resume the device. In the driver runtime_resume callback, the
'pm_wake_eventfd_ctx' will be NULL. Then vfio_pci_core_pm_exit()
will call vfio_pci_runtime_pm_exit() and all the exit related handling
will be done.
For the entry happened with wakeup eventfd, in the driver resume
callback, eventfd will be triggered and all the exit related handling will
be done. When vfio_pci_runtime_pm_exit() will be called by
vfio_pci_core_pm_exit(), then it will return early.
But if the runtime suspend has not happened on the host side, then
all the exit related handling will be done in vfio_pci_core_pm_exit()
only.

Currently, if the runtime power management is enabled for vfio-pci
based devices in the guest OS, then the guest OS will do the register
write for PCI_PM_CTRL register. This write request will be handled in
vfio_pm_config_write() where it will do the actual register write of
PCI_PM_CTRL register. With this, the maximum D3hot state can be
achieved for low power. If we can use the runtime PM framework, then
we can achieve the D3cold state (on the supported systems) which will
help in saving maximum power.
1. D3cold state can't be achieved by writing PCI standard
PM config registers. This patch implements the following
newly added low power related device features:
- VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_ENTRY
- VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_EXIT
The VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_ENTRY feature will allow the
device to make use of low power platform states on the host
while the VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_LOW_POWER_EXIT will prevent
further use of those power states.
2. The vfio-pci driver uses runtime PM framework for low power entry and
exit. On the platforms where D3cold state is supported, the runtime
PM framework will put the device into D3cold otherwise, D3hot or some
other power state will be used.
There are various cases where the device will not go into the runtime
suspended state. For example,
- The runtime power management is disabled on the host side for
the device.
- The user keeps the device busy after calling LOW_POWER_ENTRY.
- There are dependent devices that are still in runtime active state.
For these cases, the device will be in the same power state that has
been configured by the user through PCI_PM_CTRL register.
3. The hypervisors can implement virtual ACPI methods. For example,
in guest linux OS if PCI device ACPI node has _PR3 and _PR0 power
resources with _ON/_OFF method, then guest linux OS invokes
the _OFF method during D3cold transition and then _ON during D0
transition. The hypervisor can tap these virtual ACPI calls and then
call the low power device feature IOCTL.
4. The 'pm_runtime_engaged' flag tracks the entry and exit to
runtime PM. This flag is protected with 'memory_lock' semaphore.
5. All the config and other region access are wrapped under
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() and pm_runtime_put(). So, if any
device access happens while the device is in the runtime suspended
state, then the device will be resumed first before access. Once the
access has been finished, then the device will again go into the
runtime suspended state.
6. The memory region access through mmap will not be allowed in the low
power state. Since __vfio_pci_memory_enabled() is a common function,
so check for 'pm_runtime_engaged' has been added explicitly in
vfio_pci_mmap_fault() to block only mmap'ed access.

This patch adds INTx handling during runtime suspend/resume.
All the suspend/resume related code for the user to put the device
into the low power state will be added in subsequent patches.
The INTx lines may be shared among devices. Whenever any INTx
interrupt comes for the VFIO devices, then vfio_intx_handler() will be
called for each device sharing the interrupt. Inside vfio_intx_handler(),
it calls pci_check_and_mask_intx() and checks if the interrupt has
been generated for the current device. Now, if the device is already
in the D3cold state, then the config space can not be read. Attempt
to read config space in D3cold state can cause system unresponsiveness
in a few systems. To prevent this, mask INTx in runtime suspend callback,
and unmask the same in runtime resume callback. If INTx has been already
masked, then no handling is needed in runtime suspend/resume callbacks.
'pm_intx_masked' tracks this, and vfio_pci_intx_mask() has been updated
to return true if the INTx vfio_pci_irq_ctx.masked value is changed
inside this function.
For the runtime suspend which is triggered for the no user of VFIO
device, the 'irq_type' will be VFIO_PCI_NUM_IRQS and these
callbacks won't do anything.
The MSI/MSI-X are not shared so similar handling should not be
needed for MSI/MSI-X. vfio_msihandler() triggers eventfd_signal()
without doing any device-specific config access. When the user performs
any config access or IOCTL after receiving the eventfd notification,
then the device will be moved to the D0 state first before
servicing any request.
Another option was to check this flag 'pm_intx_masked' inside
vfio_intx_handler() instead of masking the interrupts. This flag
is being set inside the runtime_suspend callback but the device
can be in non-D3cold state (for example, if the user has disabled D3cold
explicitly by sysfs, the D3cold is not supported in the platform, etc.).
Also, in D3cold supported case, the device will be in D0 till the
PCI core moves the device into D3cold. In this case, there is
a possibility that the device can generate an interrupt. Adding check
in the IRQ handler will not clear the IRQ status and the interrupt
line will still be asserted. This can cause interrupt flooding.

The last user of this function is in PCI callbacks that want to convert
their struct pci_dev to a vfio_device. Instead of searching use the
vfio_device available trivially through the drvdata.
When a callback in the device_driver is called, the caller must hold the
device_lock() on dev. The purpose of the device_lock is to prevent
remove() from being called (see __device_release_driver), and allow the
driver to safely interact with its drvdata without races.
The PCI core correctly follows this and holds the device_lock() when
calling error_detected (see report_error_detected) and
sriov_configure (see sriov_numvfs_store).
Further, since the drvdata holds a positive refcount on the vfio_device
any access of the drvdata, under the device_lock(), from a driver callback
needs no further protection or refcounting.
Thus the remark in the vfio_device_get_from_dev() comment does not apply
here, VFIO PCI drivers all call vfio_unregister_group_dev() from their
remove callbacks under the device_lock() and cannot race with the
remaining callers.

get_pf_vdev() tries to check if a PF is a VFIO PF by looking at the driver:
if (pci_dev_driver(physfn) != pci_dev_driver(vdev->pdev)) {
However now that we have multiple VF and PF drivers this is no longer
reliable.
This means that security tests realted to vf_token can be skipped by
mixing and matching different VFIO PCI drivers.
Instead of trying to use the driver core to find the PF devices maintain a
linked list of all PF vfio_pci_core_device's that we have called
pci_enable_sriov() on.
When registering a VF just search the list to see if the PF is present and
record the match permanently in the struct. PCI core locking prevents a PF
from passing pci_disable_sriov() while VF drivers are attached so the VFIO
owned PF becomes a static property of the VF.
In common cases where vfio does not own the PF the global list remains
empty and the VF's pointer is statically NULL.
This also fixes a lockdep splat from recursive locking of the
vfio_group::device_lock between vfio_device_get_from_name() and
vfio_device_get_from_dev(). If the VF and PF share the same group this
would deadlock.

the "struct pci_driver" (vfio_pci.c) and a toolbox library of code
(vfio_pci_core.c), complete the split and move them into two different
kernel modules.
As before vfio_pci.ko continues to present the same interface under sysfs
and this change will have no functional impact.
Splitting into another module and adding exports allows creating new HW
