This is the first part of moving TLB window management into the driver. Add the necessary interfaces and data structures for TLB window allocation, configuration, and ownership tracking: - Add bitmap and refcount tracking in chardev_private for per-fd TLB ownership - Define new IOCTLs for TLB allocation, freeing, and configuration - Add TLB management callback interfaces to device class - Add tlb.h
Implement the TLB management interfaces introduced in the previous commit: - Add TLB allocation logic using bitmap tracking at the device level - Add TLB allocation, freeing, and configuration IOCTL handlers - Add cleanup of TLBs on file descriptor close - Extend mmap offset space to accommodate TLB windows - Add tlb.c implementing core TLB management functions The allocation strategy supports multiple TLB kinds of different sizes, selecting the smallest TLB that can accommodate the requested size. The actual TLB configuration is delegated to device-specific implementations via the device class callbacks.
Implement memory mapping support for TLB windows: - Add map_tlb_window function to handle TLB-specific mmap requests - Add vma_close() handler to track TLB mapping reference counts - Wire up TLB window mapping in tenstorrent_mmap() The implementation uses reference counting to track active mappings of each TLB window, ensuring we don't free TLBs that are still mapped into user address spaces. Window mappings are backed by PCI BAR regions.
- Support both 2M and 4G window sizes - Add separate configuration handlers for each size - Add TLB descriptor implementation - Convert kernel TLB window usage to new interface The Blackhole chip provides 202 2M windows and 8 4G windows, mapped through BAR0 and BAR4 respectively.
