Lennert Buytenhek 9f78e446bd iommu/amd: Use report_iommu_fault()
This patch makes iommu/amd call report_iommu_fault() when an I/O page
fault occurs, which has two effects:

1) It allows device drivers to register a callback to be notified of
   I/O page faults, via the iommu_set_fault_handler() API.

2) It triggers the io_page_fault tracepoint in report_iommu_fault()
   when an I/O page fault occurs.

The latter point is the main aim of this patch, as it allows
rasdaemon-like daemons to be notified of I/O page faults, and to
possibly initiate corrective action in response.

A number of other IOMMU drivers already use report_iommu_fault(), and
I/O page faults on those IOMMUs therefore already trigger this
tracepoint -- but this isn't yet the case for AMD-Vi and Intel DMAR.

The AMD IOMMU specification suggests that the bit in an I/O page fault
event log entry that signals whether an I/O page fault was for a read
request or for a write request is only meaningful when the faulting
access was to a present page, but some testing on a Ryzen 3700X suggests
that this bit encodes the correct value even for I/O page faults to
non-present pages, and therefore, this patch passes the R/W information
up the stack even for I/O page faults to non-present pages.

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.
