Some BIOS-es contain bugs where they add addresses which are already
used in some other manner to the PCI host bridge window returned by
the ACPI _CRS method. To avoid this Linux by default excludes
E820 reservations when allocating addresses since 2010, see:
commit 4dc2287c1805 ("x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address
space").
Recently (2019) some systems have shown-up with E820 reservations which
cover the entire _CRS returned PCI bridge memory window, causing all
attempts to assign memory to PCI BARs which have not been setup by the
BIOS to fail. For example here are the relevant dmesg bits from a
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL 81WE:
[mem 0x000000004bc50000-0x00000000cfffffff] reserved
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x65400000-0xbfffffff window]
The ACPI specifications appear to allow this new behavior:
The relationship between E820 and ACPI _CRS is not really very clear.
ACPI v6.3, sec 15, table 15-374, says AddressRangeReserved means:
This range of addresses is in use or reserved by the system and is
not to be included in the allocatable memory pool of the operating
system's memory manager.
and it may be used when:
The address range is in use by a memory-mapped system device.
Furthermore, sec 15.2 says:
Address ranges defined for baseboard memory-mapped I/O devices, such
as APICs, are returned as reserved.
A PCI host bridge qualifies as a baseboard memory-mapped I/O device,
and its apertures are in use and certainly should not be included in
the general allocatable pool, so the fact that some BIOS-es reports
the PCI aperture as "reserved" in E820 doesn't seem like a BIOS bug.
So it seems that the excluding of E820 reserved addresses is a mistake.
Ideally Linux would fully stop excluding E820 reserved addresses,
but then various old systems will regress. Instead keep the old behavior
for old systems, while ignoring the E820 reservations for any future
systems.
That is ignore E820 reservations starting with systems with
a DMI BIOS year >= 2023.
And use DMI quirks for existing systems on which excluding E820
reservations from the _CRS returned bridge window is an issue.
Also add pci=no_e820 and pci=use_e820 options to allow overriding
the BIOS year + DMI matching logic.

Changes in v8:
- Change the cut-off for no longer excluding E820 reservations from
the bridge window to BIOS year >= 2023 so that this only applies to
upcoming systems.
- Use DMI quirks for existing systems on which excluding E820
reservations from the _CRS returned bridge window is an issue.
Changes in v7:
- Re-add the pci=use_e820 and pci=no_e820 kernel cmdline options since it
turns out that some newer laptops still need pci=use_e820
- Add DMI quirks for known newer laptops which need pci=use_e820
Changes in v6:
- Remove the possibility to change the behavior from the commandline
because of worries that users may use this to paper over other problems
Changes in v5:
- Drop mention of Windows behavior from the commit msg, replace with a
reference to the specs
- Improve documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
- Reword the big comment added, use "PCI host bridge window" in it and drop
all refences to Windows
Changes in v4:
- Rewrap the big comment block to fit in 80 columns
- Add Rafael's Acked-by
- Add Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v3:
- Commit msg tweaks (drop dmesg timestamps, typo fix)
- Use "defined(CONFIG_...)" instead of "defined CONFIG_..."
- Add Mika's Reviewed-by
Changes in v2:
- Replace the per model DMI quirk approach with disabling E820 reservations
checking for all systems with a BIOS year >= 2018
- Add documentation for the new kernel-parameters to
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
