iommu/arm-smmu: Reintroduce locking around TLB sync operations

Browse source

Commit 523d7423e2 ("iommu/arm-smmu: Remove io-pgtable spinlock")
removed the locking used to serialise map/unmap calls into the io-pgtable
code from the ARM SMMU driver. This is good for performance, but opens
us up to a nasty race with TLB syncs because the TLB sync register is
shared within a context bank (or even globally for stage-2 on SMMUv1).

There are two cases to consider:

  1. A CPU can be spinning on the completion of a TLB sync, take an
     interrupt which issues a subsequent TLB sync, and then report a
     timeout on return from the interrupt.

  2. A CPU can be spinning on the completion of a TLB sync, but other
     CPUs can continuously issue additional TLB syncs in such a way that
     the backoff logic reports a timeout.

Rather than fix this by spinning for completion of prior TLB syncs before
issuing a new one (which may suffer from fairness issues on large systems),
instead reintroduce locking around TLB sync operations in the ARM SMMU
driver.
