Maciej W. Rozycki d47e80e48f MIPS: SiByte: Enable swiotlb for SWARM, LittleSur and BigSur 
[ Upstream commit e4849aff1e ]

The Broadcom SiByte BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs have an onchip
DRAM controller that supports memory amounts of up to 16GiB, and due to
how the address decoder has been wired in the SOC any memory beyond 1GiB
is actually mapped starting from 4GiB physical up, that is beyond the
32-bit addressable limit[1].  Consequently if the maximum amount of
memory has been installed, then it will span up to 19GiB.

Many of the evaluation boards we support that are based on one of these
SOCs have their memory soldered and the amount present fits in the
32-bit address range.  The BCM91250A SWARM board however has actual DIMM
slots and accepts, depending on the peripherals revision of the SOC, up
to 4GiB or 8GiB of memory in commercially available JEDEC modules[2].
I believe this is also the case with the BCM91250C2 LittleSur board.
This means that up to either 3GiB or 7GiB of memory requires 64-bit
addressing to access.

I believe the BCM91480B BigSur board, which has the BCM1480 SOC instead,
accepts at least as much memory, although I have no documentation or
actual hardware available to verify that.

Both systems have PCI slots installed for use by any PCI option boards,
including ones that only support 32-bit addressing (additionally the
32-bit PCI host bridge of the BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs limits
addressing to 32-bits), and there is no IOMMU available.  Therefore for
PCI DMA to work in the presence of memory beyond enable swiotlb for the
affected systems.

All the other SOC onchip DMA devices use 40-bit addressing and therefore
can address the whole memory, so only enable swiotlb if PCI support and
support for DMA beyond 4GiB have been both enabled in the configuration
of the kernel.

This shows up as follows:

Broadcom SiByte BCM1250 B2 @ 800 MHz (SB1 rev 2)
Board type: SiByte BCM91250A (SWARM)
Determined physical RAM map:
 memory: 000000000fe7fe00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable)
 memory: 000000001ffffe00 @ 0000000080000000 (usable)
 memory: 000000000ffffe00 @ 00000000c0000000 (usable)
 memory: 0000000087fffe00 @ 0000000100000000 (usable)
software IO TLB: mapped [mem 0xcbffc000-0xcfffc000] (64MB)

in the bootstrap log and removes failures like these:

defxx 0000:02:00.0: dma_direct_map_page: overflow 0x0000000185bc6080+4608 of device mask ffffffff bus mask 0
fddi0: Receive buffer allocation failed

defxx 0000:09:08.0: dma_direct_map_page: overflow 0x0000000185bc6080+4608 of device mask ffffffff bus mask 0
fddi1: Receive buffer allocation failed
fddi1: Adapter open failed!
IP-Config: Failed to open fddi1

when memory beyond 4GiB is handed out to devices that can only do 32-bit
addressing.

This updates commit cce335ae47 ("[MIPS] 64-bit Sibyte kernels need
DMA32.").

README 

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.
