Andrew F. Davis a69b0e855d dma-buf: Add dma-buf heaps framework
This framework allows a unified userspace interface for dma-buf
exporters, allowing userland to allocate specific types of memory
for use in dma-buf sharing.

Each heap is given its own device node, which a user can allocate
a dma-buf fd from using the DMA_HEAP_IOC_ALLOC.

This code is an evoluiton of the Android ION implementation,
and a big thanks is due to its authors/maintainers over time
for their effort:
  Rebecca Schultz Zavin, Colin Cross, Benjamin Gaignard,
  Laura Abbott, and many other contributors!

---help---
The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct dma_fence' objects to/from
userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
Documentation/driver-api/sync_file.rst.

---help---
A sync object driver that uses a 32bit counter to coordinate
synchronization. Useful when there is no hardware primitive backing
the synchronization.
WARNING: improper use of this can result in deadlocking kernel
drivers from userspace. Intended for test and debug only.

Choose this option to enable the DMA-BUF userland memory heaps.
This options creates per heap chardevs in /dev/dma_heap/ which
allows userspace to allocate dma-bufs that can be shared
between drivers.
