platform: Fix race condition during DMA configure at IOMMU probe time

To avoid a race between the IOMMU probing thread and the device driver
async probing thread during configuration of the platform DMA, update
`platform_dma_configure()` to read `dev->driver` once and test if it's
NULL before using it. This ensures that we don't de-reference an invalid
platform driver pointer if the device driver is asynchronously bound
while configuring the DMA.

iommu: Get DT/ACPI parsing into the proper probe path

In hindsight, there were some crucial subtleties overlooked when moving
{of,acpi}_dma_configure() to driver probe time to allow waiting for
IOMMU drivers with -EPROBE_DEFER, and these have become an
ever-increasing source of problems. The IOMMU API has some fundamental
assumptions that iommu_probe_device() is called for every device added
to the system, in the order in which they are added. Calling it in a
random order or not at all dependent on driver binding leads to
malformed groups, a potential lack of isolation for devices with no
driver, and all manner of unexpected concurrency and race conditions.
We've attempted to mitigate the latter with point-fix bodges like
iommu_probe_device_lock, but it's a losing battle and the time has come
to bite the bullet and address the true source of the problem instead.

The crux of the matter is that the firmware parsing actually serves two
distinct purposes; one is identifying the IOMMU instance associated with
a device so we can check its availability, the second is actually
telling that instance about the relevant firmware-provided data for the
device. However the latter also depends on the former, and at the time
there was no good place to defer and retry that separately from the
availability check we also wanted for client driver probe.

Nowadays, though, we have a proper notion of multiple IOMMU instances in
the core API itself, and each one gets a chance to probe its own devices
upon registration, so we can finally make that work as intended for
DT/IORT/VIOT platforms too. All we need is for iommu_probe_device() to
be able to run the iommu_fwspec machinery currently buried deep in the
wrong end of {of,acpi}_dma_configure(). Luckily it turns out to be
surprisingly straightforward to bootstrap this transformation by pretty
much just calling the same path twice. At client driver probe time,
dev->driver is obviously set; conversely at device_add(), or a
subsequent bus_iommu_probe(), any device waiting for an IOMMU really
should *not* have a driver already, so we can use that as a condition to
disambiguate the two cases, and avoid recursing back into the IOMMU core
at the wrong times.

Obviously this isn't the nicest thing, but for now it gives us a
functional baseline to then unpick the layers in between without many
more awkward cross-subsystem patches. There are some minor side-effects
like dma_range_map potentially being created earlier, and some debug
prints being repeated, but these aren't significantly detrimental. Let's
make things work first, then deal with making them nice.

With the basic flow finally in the right order again, the next step is
probably turning the bus->dma_configure paths inside-out, since all we
really need from bus code is its notion of which device and input ID(s)
to parse the common firmware properties with...

driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *

In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void

struct platform_driver::remove returning an integer made driver authors
expect that returning an error code was proper error handling. However
the driver core ignores the error and continues to remove the device
because there is nothing the core could do anyhow and reentering the
remove callback again is only calling for trouble.

To prevent such wrong assumptions, change the return type of the remove
callback to void. This was prepared by introducing an alternative remove
callback returning void and converting all drivers to that. So .remove()
can be changed without further changes in drivers.

This corresponds to step b) of the plan outlined in commit
5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that returns no value").

platform: Provide a remove callback that returns no value

struct platform_driver::remove returning an integer made driver authors
expect that returning an error code was proper error handling. However
the driver core ignores the error and continues to remove the device
because there is nothing the core could do anyhow and reentering the
remove callback again is only calling for trouble.

So this is an source for errors typically yielding resource leaks in the
error path.

As there are too many platform drivers to neatly convert them all to
return void in a single go, do it in several steps after this patch:

a) Convert all drivers to implement .remove_new() returning void instead
of .remove() returning int;
b) Change struct platform_driver::remove() to return void and so make
it identical to .remove_new();
c) Change all drivers back to .remove() now with the better prototype;
d) drop struct platform_driver::remove_new().

While this touches all drivers eventually twice, steps a) and c) can be
done one driver after another and so reduces coordination efforts
immensely and simplifies review.

bus: platform,amba,fsl-mc,PCI: Add device DMA ownership management

The devices on platform/amba/fsl-mc/PCI buses could be bound to drivers
with the device DMA managed by kernel drivers or user-space applications.
Unfortunately, multiple devices may be placed in the same IOMMU group
because they cannot be isolated from each other. The DMA on these devices
must either be entirely under kernel control or userspace control, never
a mixture. Otherwise the driver integrity is not guaranteed because they
could access each other through the peer-to-peer accesses which by-pass
the IOMMU protection.

This checks and sets the default DMA mode during driver binding, and
cleanups during driver unbinding. In the default mode, the device DMA is
managed by the device driver which handles DMA operations through the
kernel DMA APIs (see Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst).

For cases where the devices are assigned for userspace control through the
userspace driver framework(i.e. VFIO), the drivers(for example, vfio_pci/
vfio_platfrom etc.) may set a new flag (driver_managed_dma) to skip this
default setting in the assumption that the drivers know what they are
doing with the device DMA.

Calling iommu_device_use_default_domain() before {of,acpi}_dma_configure
is currently a problem. As things stand, the IOMMU driver ignored the
initial iommu_probe_device() call when the device was added, since at
that point it had no fwspec yet. In this situation,
{of,acpi}_iommu_configure() are retriggering iommu_probe_device() after
the IOMMU driver has seen the firmware data via .of_xlate to learn that
it actually responsible for the given device. As the result, before
that gets fixed, iommu_use_default_domain() goes at the end, and calls
arch_teardown_dma_ops() if it fails.

invalid") only calls WARN() when IRQ0 is about to be returned, however
using IRQ0 is considered invalid (according to Linus) outside the arch/
code where it's used by the i8253 drivers. Many driver subsystems treat
0 specially (e.g. as an indication of the polling mode by libata), so
the users of platform_get_irq[_byname]() in them would have to filter
out IRQ0 explicitly and this (quite obviously) doesn't scale...
Let's finally get this straight and return -EINVAL instead of IRQ0!

driver: platform: Add helper for safer setting of driver_override

Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a
dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.

However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and
there are already users setting it to a string literal. This leads to
kfree() of static memory during device release (e.g. in error paths or
during unbind):

Provide a helper which clearly documents the usage of driver_override.
This will allow later to reuse the helper and reduce the amount of
duplicated code.

Convert the platform driver to use a new helper and make the
driver_override field const char (it is not modified by the core).

The commit 2043727c2882 ("driver core: platform: Make use of the helper

for some strange reason -- do that now.
