For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

The IOMMU_CAP_CACHE_COHERENCY check only applies to the physical devices
that are IOMMU-backed. But it is now in the group code. If want to compile
vfio_group infrastructure out, this check needs to be moved out of the group
code.
Another reason for this change is to fail the device registration for the
physical devices that do not have IOMMU if the group code is not compiled
as the cdev interface does not support such devices.

VFIO group has historically allowed multi-open of the device FD. This
was made secure because the "open" was executed via an ioctl to the
group FD which is itself only single open.
However, no known use of multiple device FDs today. It is kind of a
strange thing to do because new device FDs can naturally be created
via dup().
When we implement the new device uAPI (only used in cdev path) there is
no natural way to allow the device itself from being multi-opened in a
secure manner. Without the group FD we cannot prove the security context
of the opener.
Thus, when moving to the new uAPI we block the ability of opening
a device multiple times. Given old group path still allows it we store
a vfio_group pointer in struct vfio_device_file to differentiate.

This is for counting the devices that are opened via the cdev path. This
count is increased and decreased by the cdev path. The group path checks
it to achieve exclusion with the cdev path. With this, only one path
(group path or cdev path) will claim DMA ownership. This avoids scenarios
in which devices within the same group may be opened via different paths.

Allow the vfio_device file to be in a state where the device FD is
opened but the device cannot be used by userspace (i.e. its .open_device()
hasn't been called). This inbetween state is not used when the device
FD is spawned from the group FD, however when we create the device FD
directly by opening a cdev it will be opened in the blocked state.
The reason for the inbetween state is that userspace only gets a FD but
doesn't gain access permission until binding the FD to an iommufd. So in
the blocked state, only the bind operation is allowed. Completing bind
will allow user to further access the device.
This is implemented by adding a flag in struct vfio_device_file to mark
the blocked state and using a simple smp_load_acquire() to obtain the
flag value and serialize all the device setup with the thread accessing
this device.
Following this lockless scheme, it can safely handle the device FD
unbound->bound but it cannot handle bound->unbound. To allow this we'd
need to add a lock on all the vfio ioctls which seems costly. So once
device FD is bound, it remains bound until the FD is closed.

This is preparation for adding vfio device cdev support. vfio device
cdev requires:
1) A per device file memory to store the kvm pointer set by KVM. It will
be propagated to vfio_device:kvm after the device cdev file is bound
to an iommufd.
2) A mechanism to block device access through device cdev fd before it
is bound to an iommufd.
To address the above requirements, this adds a per device file structure
named vfio_device_file. For now, it's only a wrapper of struct vfio_device
pointer. Other fields will be added to this per file structure in future
commits.

After 51cdc8bc12, we have another deadlock scenario between the
kvm->lock and the vfio group_lock with two different codepaths acquiring
the locks in different order. Specifically in vfio_open_device, vfio
holds the vfio group_lock when issuing device->ops->open_device but some
drivers (like vfio-ap) need to acquire kvm->lock during their open_device
routine; Meanwhile, kvm_vfio_release will acquire the kvm->lock first
before calling vfio_file_set_kvm which will acquire the vfio group_lock.
To resolve this, let's remove the need for the vfio group_lock from the
kvm_vfio_release codepath. This is done by introducing a new spinlock to
protect modifications to the vfio group kvm pointer, and acquiring a kvm
ref from within vfio while holding this spinlock, with the reference held
until the last close for the device in question.

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from
having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in
this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem
maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches). If
