Ira Weiny 3108f7c788 PCI: Allow drivers to request exclusive config regions 
[ Upstream commit 278294798a ]

PCI config space access from user space has traditionally been
unrestricted with writes being an understood risk for device operation.

Unfortunately, device breakage or odd behavior from config writes lacks
indicators that can leave driver writers confused when evaluating
failures.  This is especially true with the new PCIe Data Object
Exchange (DOE) mailbox protocol where backdoor shenanigans from user
space through things such as vendor defined protocols may affect device
operation without complete breakage.

A prior proposal restricted read and writes completely.[1]  Greg and
Bjorn pointed out that proposal is flawed for a couple of reasons.
First, lspci should always be allowed and should not interfere with any
device operation.  Second, setpci is a valuable tool that is sometimes
necessary and it should not be completely restricted.[2]  Finally
methods exist for full lock of device access if required.

Even though access should not be restricted it would be nice for driver
writers to be able to flag critical parts of the config space such that
interference from user space can be detected.

Introduce pci_request_config_region_exclusive() to mark exclusive config
regions.  Such regions trigger a warning and kernel taint if accessed
via user space.

Create pci_warn_once() to restrict the user from spamming the log.

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.
