276dbf9970 intel-iommu: Handle PCI domains appropriately.
We were comparing {bus,devfn} and assuming that a match meant it was the
same device. It doesn't -- the same {bus,devfn} can exist in
multiple PCI domains. Include domain number in device identification
(and call it 'segment' in most places, because there's already a lot of
references to 'domain' which means something else, and this code is
infected with ACPI thinking already).

fa4b57cc04 x86, dmar: use atomic allocations for QI and Intr-remapping init
Impact: invalid use of GFP_KERNEL in interrupt context

Queued invalidation and interrupt-remapping will get initialized with
interrupts disabled (while enabling interrupt-remapping). So use
GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL for memory alloacations.

084eb960e8 intel-iommu: fix endless "Unknown DMAR structure type" loop
I have a SuperMicro C2SBX motherboard with BIOS revision 1.0b.  With vt-d
enabled in the BIOS, Linux gets into an endless loop printing
"DMAR:Unknown DMAR structure type" when booting.  Here is the DMAR ACPI

Here are the messages printed by the kernel:

Although I not very familiar with ACPI, to me it looks like struct
acpi_dmar_header::length == 0x0058 is incorrect, causing
parse_dmar_table() to look at an invalid offset on the next loop.  This
offset happens to have struct acpi_dmar_header::length == 0x0000, which
prevents the loop from ever terminating.  This patch checks for this
condition and bails out instead of looping forever.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu

The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]).  The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

1cb11583a6 x64, x2apic/intr-remap: disable DMA-remapping if Interrupt-remapping is detected (temporary quirk)
Interrupt-remapping enables queued invalidation. And once queued invalidation
is enabled, IOTLB invalidation also needs to use the queued invalidation
mechanism and the register based IOTLB invalidation doesn't work.

For now, Support for IOTLB invalidation using queued invalidation is
missing. Meanwhile, disable DMA-remapping, if Interrupt-remapping
support is detected.

For the meanwhile, if someone wants to really enable DMA-remapping, they
can use nox2apic, which will disable interrupt-remapping and as such
doesn't enable queued invalidation.

And given that none of the release platforms support intr-remapping yet,
we should be ok for this temporary hack.

093f87d279 PCI: More Sanity checks for DMAR
Add and changes a few sanity checks in dmar.c.

1.  The haw field in ACPI DMAR table in VT-d spec doesn't describe the
   range of haw.  But since DMA page size is 4KB in DMA remapping, haw
   should be at least 4KB.  The current VT-d code in dmar.c returns failure
   when haw==0.  This sanity check is not accurate and execution can pass
   when haw is less than one page size 4KB.  This patch changes the haw
   sanity check to validate if haw is less than 4KB.

2. Add dmar_rmrr_units verification.

3. Add parse_dmar_table() verification.

10e5247f40 Intel IOMMU: DMAR detection and parsing logic
This patch supports the upcomming Intel IOMMU hardware a.k.a.  Intel(R)
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture and the hardware spec
for the same can be found here

FAQ! (questions from akpm, answers from ak)

Yes in some cases, but not this code.  That would be the Xen version of this
code that could potentially assign whole devices to guests.  I expect this to
be only useful in some special cases though because most hardware is not
virtualizable and you typically want an own instance for each guest.

Ok at some point KVM might implement this too; i likely would use this code
for this.

The main advantage for doing it in the normal kernel is not performance, but
more safety.  Broken devices won't be able to corrupt memory by doing random
DMA.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for graphics yet, for that need user space
interfaces for the X server are needed.

There are some potential performance benefits too:

- When you have a device that cannot address the complete address range an
  IOMMU can remap its memory instead of bounce buffering.  Remapping is likely
  cheaper than copying.

- The IOMMU can merge sg lists into a single virtual block.  This could
  potentially speed up SG IO when the device is slow walking SG lists.  [I
  long ago benchmarked 5% on some block benchmark with an old MPT Fusion; but
  it probably depends a lot on the HBA]

And you get better driver debugging because unexpected memory accesses from
the devices will cause a trappable event.

It adds more overhead to each IO so yes.

This patch:

Add support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's (DMA Remapping) reported
to OS via ACPI tables.

DMA remapping(DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations
for Direct Memory Access(DMA) from Devices.  These DMA remapping devices are
reported via ACPI tables and includes pci device scope covered by these DMA
remapping device.

for Directed I/O Architecture" please see
