When vfio passthrough a PCI device of which MMIO BARs
are smaller than PAGE_SIZE, guest will not handle the
mmio accesses to the BARs which leads to mmio emulations
in host.
This is because vfio will not allow to passthrough one
BAR's mmio page which may be shared with other BARs.
To solve this performance issue, this patch adds a kernel
parameter "pci=resource_page_aligned=on" to enforce
the alignment of all MMIO BARs to be at least PAGE_SIZE,
so that one BAR's mmio page would not be shared with other
BARs. We can also disable it through kernel parameter
"pci=resource_page_aligned=off".
For the default value of the parameter, we think it should be
arch-independent, so we add a macro
HAVE_PCI_DEFAULT_RESOURCES_PAGE_ALIGNED to change it. And we
define this macro to enable this parameter by default on PPC64
platform which can easily hit this performance issue because
its PAGE_SIZE is 64KB.
Note that the kernel parameter won't works if kernel doesn't do
resources reallocation.
