Alexey Kardashevskiy 425333bf3a KVM: PPC: Avoid marking DMA-mapped pages dirty in real mode
At the moment the real mode handler of H_PUT_TCE calls iommu_tce_xchg_rm()
which in turn reads the old TCE and if it was a valid entry, marks
the physical page dirty if it was mapped for writing. Since it is in
real mode, realmode_pfn_to_page() is used instead of pfn_to_page()
to get the page struct. However SetPageDirty() itself reads the compound
page head and returns a virtual address for the head page struct and
setting dirty bit for that kills the system.

This adds additional dirty bit tracking into the MM/IOMMU API for use
in the real mode. Note that this does not change how VFIO and
KVM (in virtual mode) set this bit. The KVM (real mode) changes include:
- use the lowest bit of the cached host phys address to carry
the dirty bit;
- mark pages dirty when they are unpinned which happens when
the preregistered memory is released which always happens in virtual
mode;
- add mm_iommu_ua_mark_dirty_rm() helper to set delayed dirty bit;
- change iommu_tce_xchg_rm() to take the kvm struct for the mm to use
in the new mm_iommu_ua_mark_dirty_rm() helper;
- move iommu_tce_xchg_rm() to book3s_64_vio_hv.c (which is the only
caller anyway) to reduce the real mode KVM and IOMMU knowledge
across different subsystems.

This removes realmode_pfn_to_page() as it is not used anymore.

While we at it, remove some EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() as that code is for
the real mode only and modules cannot call it anyway.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
