Nested translation is a hardware feature that is supported by many modern
IOMMU hardwares. It has two stages (stage-1, stage-2) address translation
to get access to the physical address. stage-1 translation table is owned
by userspace (e.g. by a guest OS), while stage-2 is owned by kernel. Changes
to stage-1 translation table should be followed by an IOTLB invalidation.
Take Intel VT-d as an example, the stage-1 translation table is I/O page
table. As the below diagram shows, guest I/O page table pointer in GPA
(guest physical address) is passed to host and be used to perform the stage-1
address translation. Along with it, modifications to present mappings in the
guest I/O page table should be followed with an IOTLB invalidation.

| vIOMMU | | Guest I/O page table |

| PASID Entry | V (Nested xlate)
'----------------\.----------------------------------.
| | | SS for GPA->HPA, unmanaged domain|
| | '----------------------------------'

Where:
- FS = First stage page tables
- SS = Second stage page tables
<Intel VT-d Nested translation>
In IOMMUFD, all the translation tables are tracked by hw_pagetable (hwpt)
and each has an iommu_domain allocated from iommu driver. So in this series
hw_pagetable and iommu_domain means the same thing if no special note.
IOMMUFD has already supported allocating hw_pagetable that is linked with
an IOAS. However, nesting requires IOMMUFD to allow allocating hw_pagetable
with driver specific parameters and interface to sync stage-1 IOTLB as user
owns the stage-1 translation table.
This series is based on the iommu hw info reporting series [1]. It first
introduces new iommu op for allocating domains with user data and the op
for syncing stage-1 IOTLB, and then extend the IOMMUFD internal infrastructure
to accept user_data and parent hwpt, then relay the data to iommu core to
allocate iommu_domain. After it, extend the ioctl IOMMU_HWPT_ALLOC to accept
user data and stage-2 hwpt ID to allocate hwpt. Along with it, ioctl
IOMMU_HWPT_INVALIDATE is added to invalidate stage-1 IOTLB. This is needed
for user-managed hwpts. Selftest is added as well to cover the new ioctls.
Complete code can be found in [2], QEMU could can be found in [3].
At last, this is a team work together with Nicolin Chen, Lu Baolu. Thanks
them for the help. ^_^. Look forward to your feedbacks.

Change log:
v2:
- Add union iommu_domain_user_data to include all user data structures to avoid
passing void * in kernel APIs.
- Add iommu op to return user data length for user domain allocation
- Rename struct iommu_hwpt_alloc::data_type to be hwpt_type
- Store the invalidation data length in iommu_domain_ops::cache_invalidate_user_data_len
- Convert cache_invalidate_user op to be int instead of void
- Remove @data_type in struct iommu_hwpt_invalidate
- Remove out_hwpt_type_bitmap in struct iommu_hw_info hence drop patch 08 of v1
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iommu/20230309080910.607396-1-yi.l.liu@xxxxxxxxx/
Thanks,
