To enable address space sharing with the IOMMU, introduce arm64_mm_context_get() and arm64_mm_context_put(), that pin down a context and ensure that it will keep its ASID after a rollover. Export the symbols to let the modular SMMUv3 driver use them. Pinning is necessary because a device constantly needs a valid ASID, unlike tasks that only require one when running. Without pinning, we would need to notify the IOMMU when we're about to use a new ASID for a task, and it would get complicated when a new task is assigned a shared ASID. Consider the following scenario with no ASID pinned: 1. Task t1 is running on CPUx with shared ASID (gen=1, asid=1) 2. Task t2 is scheduled on CPUx, gets ASID (1, 2) 3. Task tn is scheduled on CPUy, a rollover occurs, tn gets ASID (2, 1) We would now have to immediately generate a new ASID for t1, notify the IOMMU, and finally enable task tn. We are holding the lock during all that time, since we can't afford having another CPU trigger a rollover. The IOMMU issues invalidation commands that can take tens of milliseconds. It gets needlessly complicated. All we wanted to do was schedule task tn, that has no business with the IOMMU. By letting the IOMMU pin tasks when needed, we avoid stalling the slow path, and let the pinning fail when we're out of shareable ASIDs. After a rollover, the allocator expects at least one ASID to be available in addition to the reserved ones (one per CPU). So (NR_ASIDS - NR_CPUS - 1) is the maximum number of ASIDs that can be shared with the IOMMU.

README
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.
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.
