Nicolin Chen 807404d66f ACPI/IORT: Support CANWBS memory access flag
The IORT spec, Issue E.f (April 2024), adds a new CANWBS bit to the Memory
Access Flag field in the Memory Access Properties table, mainly for a PCI
Root Complex.

This CANWBS defines the coherency of memory accesses to be not marked IOWB
cacheable/shareable. Its value further implies the coherency impact from a
pair of mismatched memory attributes (e.g. in a nested translation case):
  0x0: Use of mismatched memory attributes for accesses made by this
       device may lead to a loss of coherency.
  0x1: Coherency of accesses made by this device to locations in
       Conventional memory are ensured as follows, even if the memory
       attributes for the accesses presented by the device or provided by
       the SMMU are different from Inner and Outer Write-back cacheable,
       Shareable.

Note that the loss of coherency on a CANWBS-unsupported HW typically could
occur to an SMMU that doesn't implement the S2FWB feature where additional
cache flush operations would be required to prevent that from happening.

Add a new ACPI_IORT_MF_CANWBS flag and set IOMMU_FWSPEC_PCI_RC_CANWBS upon
the presence of this new flag.

CANWBS and S2FWB are similar features, in that they both guarantee the VM
can not violate coherency, however S2FWB can be bypassed by PCI No Snoop
TLPs, while CANWBS cannot. Thus CANWBS meets the requirements to set
IOMMU_CAP_ENFORCE_CACHE_COHERENCY.

Architecturally ARM has expected that VFIO would disable No Snoop through
PCI Config space, if this is done then the two would have the same
protections.

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 reStructuredText 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.
