Subject: [RESEND PATCH V6 0/6] Add support for privileged mappings

This series is a resend of the V5 that Mitch sent sometime back [2]
All the patches are the same and i have just rebased. Not sure why this
finally did not make it last time. The last patch in the previous
series does not apply now [3], so just redid that. Also Copied the tags
that he had from last time as well.

The following patch to the ARM SMMU driver:

    commit d346180e70b91b3d5a1ae7e5603e65593d4622bc
    Author: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@....com>
    Date:   Tue Jan 26 18:06:34 2016 +0000
    
        iommu/arm-smmu: Treat all device transactions as unprivileged

started forcing all SMMU transactions to come through as "unprivileged".
The rationale given was that:

  (1) There is no way in the IOMMU API to even request privileged
      mappings.

  (2) It's difficult to implement a DMA mapper that correctly models the
      ARM VMSAv8 behavior of unprivileged-writeable =>
      privileged-execute-never.

This series rectifies (1) by introducing an IOMMU API for privileged
mappings and implements it in io-pgtable-arm.

This series rectifies (2) by introducing a new dma attribute
(DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED) for users of the DMA API that need privileged
mappings which are inaccessible to lesser-privileged execution levels, and
implements it in the arm64 IOMMU DMA mapper.  The one known user (pl330.c)
is converted over to the new attribute.

Jordan and Jeremy can provide more info on the use case if needed, but the
high level is that it's a security feature to prevent attacks such as [1].

Changelog:

 v5..v6
    - Rebased all the patches and redid 6/6 as it does not apply in
      this code base. 

 v4..v5

    - Simplified patch 4/6 (suggested by Robin Murphy).

  v3..v4

    - Rebased and reworked on linux next due to the dma attrs rework going
      on over there.  Patches changed: 3/6, 4/6, and 5/6.

  v2..v3

    - Incorporated feedback from Robin:
      * Various comments and re-wordings.
      * Use existing bit definitions for IOMMU_PRIV implementation
        in io-pgtable-arm.
      * Renamed and redocumented dma_direction_to_prot.
      * Don't worry about executability in new DMA attr.

  v1..v2

    - Added a new DMA attribute to make executable privileged mappings
      work, and use that in the pl330 driver (suggested by Will).

Jeremy Gebben (1):
  iommu/io-pgtable-arm: add support for the IOMMU_PRIV flag

Mitchel Humpherys (4):
  iommu: add IOMMU_PRIV attribute
  common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED attribute
  arm64/dma-mapping: Implement DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED
  dmaengine: pl330: Make sure microcode is privileged

Sricharan R (1):
  iommu/arm-smmu: Set privileged attribute to 'default' instead of
    'unprivileged'
