[PATCH v3] dma-debug: New interfaces to debug dma mapping errors

A recent dma mapping error analysis effort showed that a large percentage
of dma_map_single() and dma_map_page() returns are not checked for mapping
errors.

Reference:
http://linuxdriverproject.org/mediawiki/index.php/DMA_Mapping_Error_Analysis

Adding support for tracking dma mapping and unmapping errors to help assess
the following:

When do dma mapping errors get detected?
How often do these errors occur?
Why don't we see failures related to missing dma mapping error checks?
Are they silent failures?

Patch v3: Addresses review and design comments from Patch v2.
Patch v2: Addressed design issues from Patch v1.

Enhance dma-debug infrastructure to track dma mapping, and unmapping errors.

map_errors: (system wide counter)
  Total number of dma mapping errors returned by the dma mapping interfaces,
  in response to mapping requests from all devices in the system.
map_errors_not_checked: (system wide counter)
  Total number of dma mapping errors devices failed to check before using
  the returned address.
unmap_errors: (system wide counter)
  Total number of times devices tried to unmap or free an invalid dma
  address.
map_err_type: (new field added to dma_debug_entry structure)
  New field to maintain dma mapping error check status. This error type
  is applicable to the dma map page and dma map single entries tracked by
  dma-debug api. This status indicates whether or not a good mapping is
  checked by the device before its use. dma_map_single() and dma_map_page()
  could fail to create a mapping in some cases, and drivers are expected to
  call dma_mapping_error() to check for errors. Please note that this is not
  counter.

Enhancements to dma-debug api are made to add new debugfs interfaces to
report total dma errors, dma errors that are not checked, and unmap errors
for the entire system. Please note that these are system wide counters for
all devices in the system.

The following new dma-debug interface is added:

debug_dma_mapping_error(struct device *dev, dma_addr_t dma_addr)
	Sets dma map error checked status for the dma map entry if one is
	found. Decrements the system wide dma_map_errors_not_checked counter
	that is incremented by debug_dma_map_page() when it checks for
	mapping error before adding it to the dma debug entry table.

New dma-debug internal interface:
check_mapping_error(struct device *dev, dma_addr_t dma_addr)
Calling dma_mapping_error() from dma-debug api will result in dma mapping
check when it shouldn't. This internal routine checks dma mapping error
without any debug checks. 

The following existing dma-debug api are changed to support this feature:
debug_dma_map_page()
	Increments dma_map_errors and dma_map_errors_not_checked errors totals
	for the system, dma-debug api keeps track of, when dma_addr is invalid.
	This routine now calls internal check_mapping_error() interface to
	avoid doing dma mapping debug checks from dma-debug internal mapping
	error checks.
check_unmap()
	This is an existing internal routines that checks for various mapping
	errors. Changed to increment system wide dma_unmap_errors, when a
	device requests an invalid address to be unmapped. This routine now
	calls internal check_mapping_error() interface to avoid doing dma
	mapping debug checks from dma-debug internal mapping error checks.

Changed arch/x86/include/asm/dma-mapping.h to call debug_dma_mapping_error()
to validate these new interfaces on x86_64. Other architectures will be
changed in a subsequent patch.

Tested: Intel iommu and swiotlb (iommu=soft) on x86-64 with
        CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled and disabled.
