Hi,

Since we now have an updated verion[0] of IORT spec(E.d) which
addresses the memory attributes issues discussed here [1],
this series now make use of it.

The pull request for ACPICA E.d related changes are already
raised and can be found here,
https://github.com/acpica/acpica/pull/752

v7 --> v8
   - Patch #1 has temp definitions for RMR related changes till
     the ACPICA header changes are part of kernel.
   - No early parsing of RMR node info and is only parsed at the
     time of use.
   - Changes to the RMR get/put API format compared to the
     previous version.
   - Support for RMR descriptor shared by multiple stream IDs.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Shameer

I still have a question on the IORT E.d spec (unrelated to this series).

The spec mandates that if RMR nodes are presented in the IORT,
_DSM function #5 for the PCIe host bridge ACPI device object must return
0, indicating the OS must honour the PCI config that the FW computed at
boot time.

However implementing this _DSM #5 as above is known to prevent PCI
devices with IO ports from working, on aarch64 linux.

"
The reason is that EFI creates I/O port mappings below
     0x1000 (in fact, at 0). However Linux, for legacy reasons, does not
     support I/O ports <= 0x1000 on PCI, so the I/O assignment created by EFI
     is rejected.
    EFI creates the mappings primarily for itself, and up until DSM #5
     started to be enforced, all PCI resource allocations that existed at
     boot were ignored by Linux and recreated from scratch.
"

This is an excerpt of a qemu commit message that reverted the _DMS #5
change (Revert "acpi/gpex: Inform os to keep firmware resource map").
Has the situation changed since July 2021 (ie. has UEFI been reworked?).
[+ Ard]

FWIW I wasn't aware of that, but if it's an issue then it will need to be fixed in Linux or UEFI's PCI resource code (arguably if UEFI has already allocated from the bottom of I/O space then Linux should be safe to assume that there are no legacy PC I/O resources to worry about). The DSM is required to prevent bus numbers being reassigned, because if that happens then any PCI StreamIDs referenced in IORT may suddenly become meaningless and the association of root complex nodes and RMRs to physical hardware lost.

Robin.

Thank you in advance

Regards

Eric

 From old:
We have faced issues with 3408iMR RAID controller cards which
fail to boot when SMMU is enabled. This is because these
controllers make use of host memory for various caching related
purposes and when SMMU is enabled the iMR firmware fails to
access these memory regions as there is no mapping for them.
IORT RMR provides a way for UEFI to describe and report these
memory regions so that the kernel can make a unity mapping for
these in SMMU.

Change History:

v6 --> v7
  -fix pointed out by Steve to the SMMUv2 SMR bypass install in patch #8.

v5 --> v6
- Addressed comments from Robin & Lorenzo.
   : Moved iort_parse_rmr() to acpi_iort_init() from
     iort_init_platform_devices().
   : Removed use of struct iort_rmr_entry during the initial
     parse. Using struct iommu_resv_region instead.
   : Report RMR address alignment and overlap errors, but continue.
   : Reworked arm_smmu_init_bypass_stes() (patch # 6).
- Updated SMMUv2 bypass SMR code. Thanks to Jon N (patch #8).
- Set IOMMU protection flags(IOMMU_CACHE, IOMMU_MMIO) based
   on Type of RMR region. Suggested by Jon N.

v4 --> v5
  -Added a fw_data union to struct iommu_resv_region and removed
   struct iommu_rmr (Based on comments from Joerg/Robin).
  -Added iommu_put_rmrs() to release mem.
  -Thanks to Steve for verifying on SMMUv2, but not added the Tested-by
   yet because of the above changes.

v3 -->v4
-Included the SMMUv2 SMR bypass install changes suggested by
  Steve(patch #7)
-As per Robin's comments, RMR reserve implementation is now
  more generic  (patch #8) and dropped v3 patches 8 and 10.
-Rebase to 5.13-rc1

RFC v2 --> v3
  -Dropped RFC tag as the ACPICA header changes are now ready to be
   part of 5.13[0]. But this series still has a dependency on that patch.
  -Added IORT E.b related changes(node flags, _DSM function 5 checks for
   PCIe).
  -Changed RMR to stream id mapping from M:N to M:1 as per the spec and
   discussion here[1].
  -Last two patches add support for SMMUv2(Thanks to Jon Nettleton!)
