dma_map_resource() uses pfn_valid() to ensure the range is not RAM.
However, pfn_valid() only checks for availability of the memory map for
a PFN but it does not ensure that the PFN is actually backed by RAM. On
ARM64 with SPARSEMEM (128MB section granularity), MMIO addresses that
share a section with RAM will falsely trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE and cause
dma_map_resource() to return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR.
This causes a WARNING on Raspberry Pi 4 during spi_bcm2835 probe because
the SPI FIFO register (0xfe204004) falls in the same sparsemem section
as the end of RAM (0xf8000000-0xfbffffff), both in section 31
(0xf8000000-0xffffffff).
Move the sanity check from dma_map_resource() into debug_dma_map_phys()
and replace the unreliable pfn_valid() with pfn_valid() &&
!PageReserved(), which correctly identifies actual usable RAM without
false positives for MMIO regions that happen to have struct pages.
Since dma_map_resource() is dma_map_phys(DMA_ATTR_MMIO), the check
applies equally to both APIs. Any non-reserved page represents kernel
memory to a sufficient degree that using DMA_ATTR_MMIO on it is almost
certainly wrong and risks breaking coherency on non-coherent platforms.
ZONE_DEVICE pages used for PCI P2P DMA (MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA) have
PageReserved set, so they will not trigger a false positive.
The check no longer blocks the mapping and uses err_printk() to
integrate with dma-debug filtering.

Calculate the correct physical address of the last byte of memory. Since
max_pfn is in fact "the PFN of the first page after the highest system RAM
in physical address space", the highest address that might be used for a
DMA buffer is one byte below max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT.
This fix is unlikely to make any difference in practice. It's just that the
current formula is slightly confusing.

Current CC designs don't place a vIOMMU in front of untrusted devices.
Instead, the DMA API forces all untrusted device DMA through swiotlb
bounce buffers (is_swiotlb_force_bounce()) which copies data into
shared memory on behalf of the device.
When a caller has already arranged for the memory to be shared
via set_memory_decrypted(), the DMA API needs to know so it can map
directly using the unencrypted physical address rather than bounce
buffering. Following the pattern of DMA_ATTR_MMIO, add
DMA_ATTR_CC_SHARED for this purpose. Like the MMIO case, only the
caller knows what kind of memory it has and must inform the DMA API
for it to work correctly.

As we try to enable dma-buf heaps, and the CMA one in particular, to
compile as modules, we need to export dev_get_cma_area(). It's currently
implemented as an inline function that returns either the content of
device->cma_area or dma_contiguous_default_area.
Thus, it means we need to export dma_contiguous_default_area, which
isn't really something we want any module to have access to.
Instead, let's make dev_get_cma_area() a proper function we will be able
to export so we can avoid exporting dma_contiguous_default_area.

The CMA heap instantiation was initially developed by having the
contiguous DMA code call into the CMA heap to create a new instance
every time a reserved memory area is probed.
Turning the CMA heap into a module would create a dependency of the
kernel on a module, which doesn't work.
Let's turn the logic around and do the opposite: store all the reserved
memory CMA regions into the contiguous DMA code, and provide an iterator
for the heap to use when it probes.

When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, the DMA debug infrastructure
tracks active mappings per cacheline and warns if two different DMA
mappings share the same cacheline ("cacheline tracking EEXIST,
overlapping mappings aren't supported").
On x86_64, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN defaults to 8, so small kmalloc
allocations (e.g. the 8-byte hub->buffer and hub->status in the USB
hub driver) frequently land in the same 64-byte cacheline. When both
are DMA-mapped, this triggers a false positive warning.
This has been reported repeatedly since v5.14 (when the EEXIST check
was added) across various USB host controllers and devices including
xhci_hcd with USB hubs, USB audio devices, and USB ethernet adapters.
The cacheline overlap is only a real concern on architectures that
require DMA buffer alignment to cacheline boundaries (i.e. where
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN >= L1_CACHE_BYTES). On architectures like x86_64
where dma_get_cache_alignment() returns 1, the hardware is
cache-coherent and overlapping cacheline mappings are harmless.
Suppress the EEXIST warning when dma_get_cache_alignment() is less
than L1_CACHE_BYTES, indicating the architecture does not require
cacheline-aligned DMA buffers.
Verified with a kernel module reproducer that performs two kmalloc(8)
allocations back-to-back and DMA-maps both:
Before: allocations share a cacheline, EEXIST fires within ~50 pairs
After: same cacheline pair found, but no warning emitted

Move init function from OF_DECLARE() argument to the given reserved
memory region ops structure and then pass that structure to the
OF_DECLARE() initializer. This node_init callback is mandatory for the
reserved mem driver. Such change makes it possible in the future to add
more functions called by the generic code before given memory region is
initialized and rmem object is created.
