This patchset is an update of Bill Sumner's patchset, implements a fix for:
If a kernel boots with intel_iommu=on on a system that supports intel vt-d,
when a panic happens, the kdump kernel will boot with these faults:
dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 102
dmar: DMAR:[DMA Read] Request device [01:00.0] fault addr fff80000
DMAR:[fault reason 01] Present bit in root entry is clear
dmar: DRHD: handling fault status reg 2
dmar: INTR-REMAP: Request device [[61:00.0] fault index 42
INTR-REMAP:[fault reason 34] Present field in the IRTE entry is clear
On some system, the interrupt remapping fault will also happen even if the
intel_iommu is not set to on, because the interrupt remapping will be enabled
when x2apic is needed by the system.
The cause of the DMA fault is described in Bill's original version, and the
INTR-Remap fault is caused by a similar reason. In short, the initialization
of vt-d drivers causes the in-flight DMA and interrupt requests get wrong
response.
To fix this problem, we modifies the behaviors of the intel vt-d in the
crashdump kernel:
For DMA Remapping:
1. To accept the vt-d hardware in an active state,
2. Do not disable and re-enable the translation, keep it enabled.
3. Use the old root entry table, do not rewrite the RTA register.
4. Malloc and use new context entry table and page table, copy data from the
old ones that used by the old kernel.
5. to use different portions of the iova address ranges for the device drivers
in the crashdump kernel than the iova ranges that were in-use at the time
of the panic.
6. After device driver is loaded, when it issues the first dma_map command,
free the dmar_domain structure for this device, and generate a new one, so
that the device can be assigned a new and empty page table.
7. When a new context entry table is generated, we also save its address to
the old root entry table.
For Interrupt Remapping:
1. To accept the vt-d hardware in an active state,
2. Do not disable and re-enable the interrupt remapping, keep it enabled.
3. Use the old interrupt remapping table, do not rewrite the IRTA register.
4. When ioapic entry is setup, the interrupt remapping table is changed, and
the updated data will be stored to the old interrupt remapping table.
Advantages of this approach:
1. All manipulation of the IO-device is done by the Linux device-driver
for that device.
2. This approach behaves in a manner very similar to operation without an
active iommu.
3. Any activity between the IO-device and its RMRR areas is handled by the
device-driver in the same manner as during a non-kdump boot.
4. If an IO-device has no driver in the kdump kernel, it is simply left alone.
This supports the practice of creating a special kdump kernel without
drivers for any devices that are not required for taking a crashdump.
5. Minimal code-changes among the existing mainline intel vt-d code.
Summary of changes in this patch set:
1. Added some useful function for root entry table in code intel-iommu.c
2. Added new members to struct root_entry and struct irte;
3. Functions to load old root entry table to iommu->root_entry from the memory
of old kernel.
4. Functions to malloc new context entry table and page table and copy the data
from the old ones to the malloced new ones.
5. Functions to enable support for DMA remapping in kdump kernel.
6. Functions to load old irte data from the old kernel to the kdump kernel.
7. Some code changes that support other behaviours that have been listed.
8. In the new functions, use physical address as "unsigned long" type, not
pointers.
