[RFCv3,0/6] A General Accelerator Framework, WarpDrive

From: Kenneth Lee <liguozhu@hisilicon.com>


*WarpDrive* is a general accelerator framework for the user application to
access the hardware without going through the kernel in data path.

WarpDrive is the name for the whole framework. The component in kernel
is called uacce, meaning "Unified/User-space-access-intended Accelerator
Framework". It makes use of the capability of IOMMU to maintain a
unified virtual address space between the hardware and the process.

The first patch in this patchset contains document of the framework.
Please refer to it for more information.

WarpDrive is intended to be used with Jean Philippe Brucker's SVA
patchset[1], which enables IO side page fault and PASID support. But
this patchset itself is simply the first step to support the no-PASID
version.

The patch 1 is document of the framework. The patch 2 add uacce support.
The patch 3 and 4 are drivers for Hisilicon's ZIP Accelerator. It is
registered to crypto subsystem. The patch 5 adds uacce support to the
accelerator driver. It then can work in either crypto or uacce mode. It
can support both mode at the same time when PASID mode is added in the
future.

The patch 6 is is a user space sample demonstrating how WarpDrive is
used.

The intension of this RFC is to know if the idea is acceptable.
So the focus is the uacce itself. The patch 3 and 4 will be sent to mainline
by another topic. We assume they will be accepted first and we can
upstream uacce. And if SVA is upstreamed, the new feature will be added
accordingly.

Change History:
V3 changed from V2:
	1. Build uacce from original IOMMU interface. V2 is built on VFIO.
	   But the VFIO way locking the user memory in place will not
	   work properly if the process fork a child. Because the
	   copy-on-write strategy will make the parent process lost its
	   page. This is not acceptable to accelerator user.
	2. The kernel component is renamed to uacce from sdmdev
	   accordingly
	3. Document is updated for the new design. The Static Shared
	   Virtual Memory concept is introduced to replace the User
	   Memory Sharing concept.
	4. Rebase to the lastest kernel (4.20.0-rc1)
	5. As an RFC, this version is tested only with "test-to-pass"
	   test case and not tested with Jean's SVA patch.

V2 changed from V1:
	1. Change kernel framework name from SPIMDEV (Share Parent IOMMU
	   Mdev) to SDMDEV (Share Domain Mdev).
	2. Allocate Hardware Resource when a new mdev is created (While
	   it is allocated when the mdev is openned)
	3. Unmap pages from the shared domain when the sdmdev iommu group is
	   detached. (This procedure is necessary, but missed in V1)
	4. Update document accordingly.
	5. Rebase to the latest kernel (4.19.0-rc1)
