Bryan O'Donoghue 28a375df16 x86/intel/quark: Add Isolated Memory Regions for Quark X1000
Intel's Quark X1000 SoC contains a set of registers called
Isolated Memory Regions. IMRs are accessed over the IOSF mailbox
interface. IMRs are areas carved out of memory that define
read/write access rights to the various system agents within the
Quark system. For a given agent in the system it is possible to
specify if that agent may read or write an area of memory
defined by an IMR with a granularity of 1 KiB.

Quark_SecureBootPRM_330234_001.pdf section 4.5 details the
concept of IMRs quark-x1000-datasheet.pdf section 12.7.4 details
the implementation of IMRs in silicon.

eSRAM flush, CPU Snoop write-only, CPU SMM Mode, CPU non-SMM
mode, RMU and PCIe Virtual Channels (VC0 and VC1) can have
individual read/write access masks applied to them for a given
memory region in Quark X1000. This enables IMRs to treat each
memory transaction type listed above on an individual basis and
to filter appropriately based on the IMR access mask for the
memory region. Quark supports eight IMRs.

Since all of the DMA capable SoC components in the X1000 are
mapped to VC0 it is possible to define sections of memory as
invalid for DMA write operations originating from Ethernet, USB,
SD and any other DMA capable south-cluster component on VC0.
Similarly it is possible to mark kernel memory as non-SMM mode
read/write only or to mark BIOS runtime memory as SMM mode
accessible only depending on the particular memory footprint on
a given system.

On an IMR violation Quark SoC X1000 systems are configured to
reset the system, so ensuring that the IMR memory map is
consistent with the EFI provided memory map is critical to
ensure no IMR violations reset the system.

The API for accessing IMRs is based on MTRR code but doesn't
provide a /proc or /sys interface to manipulate IMRs. Defining
the size and extent of IMRs is exclusively the domain of
in-kernel code.

Quark firmware sets up a series of locked IMRs around pieces of
memory that firmware owns such as ACPI runtime data. During boot
a series of unlocked IMRs are placed around items in memory to
guarantee no DMA modification of those items can take place.
Grub also places an unlocked IMR around the kernel boot params
data structure and compressed kernel image. It is necessary for
the kernel to tear down all unlocked IMRs in order to ensure
that the kernel's view of memory passed via the EFI memory map
is consistent with the IMR memory map. Without tearing down all
unlocked IMRs on boot transitory IMRs such as those used to
protect the compressed kernel image will cause IMR violations and system reboots.

The IMR init code tears down all unlocked IMRs and sets a
protective IMR around the kernel .text and .rodata as one
contiguous block. This sanitizes the IMR memory map with respect
to the EFI memory map and protects the read-only portions of the
kernel from unwarranted DMA access.

config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
def_bool y
source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
config STRICT_DEVMEM
bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
---help---
If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
/dev/mem.
If in doubt, say Y.
config X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP
bool "Enable verbose x86 bootup info messages"
default y
---help---
Enables the informational output from the decompression stage
(e.g. bzImage) of the boot. If you disable this you will still
see errors. Disable this if you want silent bootup.
config EARLY_PRINTK
bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
default y
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
port.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
unless you want to debug such a crash.
config EARLY_PRINTK_INTEL_MID
bool "Early printk for Intel MID platform support"
depends on EARLY_PRINTK && X86_INTEL_MID
config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP
bool "Early printk via EHCI debug port"
depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the EHCI debug port.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
unless you want to debug such a crash. You need usb debug device.
config EARLY_PRINTK_EFI
bool "Early printk via the EFI framebuffer"
depends on EFI && EARLY_PRINTK
select FONT_SUPPORT
---help---
Write kernel log output directly into the EFI framebuffer.
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
early before the console code is initialized.
config X86_PTDUMP
bool "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
select DEBUG_FS
---help---
Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
kernel.
If in doubt, say "N"
config EFI_PGT_DUMP
bool "Dump the EFI pagetable"
depends on EFI && X86_PTDUMP
---help---
Enable this if you want to dump the EFI page table before
enabling virtual mode. This can be used to debug miscellaneous
issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that
table.
config DEBUG_RODATA
bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
default y
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
If in doubt, say "Y".
config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
depends on DEBUG_RODATA
default y
---help---
This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
If in doubt, say "N"
config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO"
depends on MODULES
---help---
This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
against certain classes of kernel exploits.
If in doubt, say "N".
config DEBUG_NX_TEST
tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
---help---
This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
and the software setup of this feature.
If in doubt, say "N"
config DOUBLEFAULT
default y
bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EXPERT
---help---
This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
hair.
config DEBUG_TLBFLUSH
bool "Set upper limit of TLB entries to flush one-by-one"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
X86-only for now.
This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
If in doubt, say "N".
config IOMMU_DEBUG
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on X86_64
---help---
Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
list merging. Currently not recommended for production
code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
details.
config IOMMU_STRESS
bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
---help---
This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
testing.
config IOMMU_LEAK
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
---help---
Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

This option is useful for checking the sanity of x86 instruction
decoder code.

config IO_DELAY_0X80
bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
---help---
This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
config IO_DELAY_0XED
bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
---help---
Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
often used as a hardware-debug port.
config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
---help---
Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
config IO_DELAY_NONE
bool "no port-IO delay"
---help---
No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.
config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
---help---
This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
is there to test gcc for this.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_NMI_SELFTEST
bool "NMI Selftest"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && X86_LOCAL_APIC
---help---
Enabling this option turns on a quick NMI selftest to verify
that the NMI behaves correctly.
This might help diagnose strange hangs that rely on NMI to
function properly.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_IMR_SELFTEST
bool "Isolated Memory Region self test"
default n
depends on INTEL_IMR
---help---
This option enables automated sanity testing of the IMR code.
Some simple tests are run to verify IMR bounds checking, alignment
and overlapping. This option is really only useful if you are
debugging an IMR memory map or are modifying the IMR code and want to
test your changes.
If unsure say N here.
config X86_DEBUG_STATIC_CPU_HAS
bool "Debug alternatives"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
---help---
This option causes additional code to be generated which
fails if static_cpu_has() is used before alternatives have
run.
If unsure, say N.
