Hi Robin,
Thanks for working on this!

Between me trying to get rid of iommu_present() and Mario wanting to
support the AMD equivalent of DMAR_PLATFORM_OPT_IN, scrutiny has shown
that the iommu_dma_protection attribute is being far too optimistic.
Even if an IOMMU might be present for some PCI segment in the system,
that doesn't necessarily mean it provides translation for the device(s)
we care about. Furthermore, all that DMAR_PLATFORM_OPT_IN really does
is tell us that memory was protected before the kernel was loaded, and
prevent the user from disabling the intel-iommu driver entirely. What
actually matters is whether we trust individual devices, based on the
"external facing" property that we expect firmware to describe for
Thunderbolt ports.
We still want to know that DMAR_PLATFORM_OPT_IN is set by the firmware
because that tells us that none of the devices connected before OS got
control had the ability to perform DMA outside of the RMRR regions. If
they did then all this is pointless because they could have modified the
system memory as they wished.
Ah, right, it does still matter in terms of whether we can trust our
*own* integrity. I was thinking that it's OK since by this point the
IOMMU driver should have reset the hardware and allocated new
configuration tables etc. such that any previous modifications wouldn't
matter, but of course the theoretical worst case is that the malicious
device manages to corrupt the kernel code in memory just before that
point to subvert the IOMMU driver itself. Got it, thanks again!
So yes, I think we *do* want to abstract that through the IOMMU API (and
I'll follow up with our ACPI folks internally to check whether anyone's
thought about this for Arm-based systems yet). Gosh, this is becoming
quite the adventure, but it's all for good in the end :)
Robin.
Avoid false positives by looking as close as possible to the same PCI
topology that the IOMMU layer will consider once a Thunderbolt endpoint
appears. Crucially, we can't assume that IOMMU translation being enabled
for any reason is sufficient on its own; full (expensive) DMA protection
will still only be imposed on untrusted devices.

This supersedes my previous attempt just trying to replace
iommu_present() at [1], further to the original discussion at [2].
