Randy Dunlap 4917b284db dmar, x86: Use function stubs when CONFIG_INTR_REMAP is disabled
The stubs for CONFIG_INTR_REMAP disabled need to be functions
instead of values to eliminate build warnings.

Thomas Gleixner 1a0730d664 x86: Speed up the irq_remapped check in hot pathes
irq_2_iommu is in struct irq_cfg, so we can do the irq_remapped check
based on irq_cfg instead of going through a lookup function. That's
especially interesting in the eoi_ioapic_irq() hotpath.

Thomas Gleixner 423f085952 x86: Embedd irq_2_iommu into irq_cfg
That interrupt remapping code is x86 specific and tied to the io_apic
code. No need for separate allocator functions in the interrupt
remapping code. This allows to simplify the code and irq_2_iommu is
small (13 bytes on 64bit) so it's not a real problem even if interrupt
remapping is runtime disabled. If it's compile time disabled the
impact is zero.

Weidong Han f007e99c8e Intel-IOMMU, intr-remap: source-id checking
To support domain-isolation usages, the platform hardware must be
capable of uniquely identifying the requestor (source-id) for each
interrupt message. Without source-id checking for interrupt remapping
, a rouge guest/VM with assigned devices can launch interrupt attacks
to bring down anothe guest/VM or the VMM itself.

This patch adds source-id checking for interrupt remapping, and then
really isolates interrupts for guests/VMs with assigned devices.

Because PCI subsystem is not initialized yet when set up IOAPIC
entries, use read_pci_config_byte to access PCI config space directly.

Weidong Han 937582382c x86, intr-remap: enable interrupt remapping early
Currently, when x2apic is not enabled, interrupt remapping
will be enabled in init_dmars(), where it is too late to remap
ioapic interrupts, that is, ioapic interrupts are really in
compatibility mode, not remappable mode.

This patch always enables interrupt remapping before ioapic
setup, it guarantees all interrupts will be remapped when
interrupt remapping is enabled. Thus it doesn't need to set
the compatibility interrupt bit.

[ Impact: refactor intr-remap init sequence, enable fuller remap mode ]

Suresh Siddha 75c46fa61b x64, x2apic/intr-remap: MSI and MSI-X support for interrupt remapping infrastructure
MSI and MSI-X support for interrupt remapping infrastructure.

MSI address register will be programmed with interrupt-remapping table
entry(IRTE) index and the IRTE will contain information about the vector,
cpu destination, etc.

For MSI-X, all the IRTE's will be consecutively allocated in the table,
and the address registers will contain the starting index to the block
and the data register will contain the subindex with in that block.

This also introduces a new irq_chip for cleaner irq migration (in the process
context as opposed to the current irq migration in the context of an interrupt.
interrupt-remapping infrastructure will help us achieve this).

As MSI is edge triggered, irq migration is a simple atomic update(of vector
and cpu destination) of IRTE and flushing the hardware cache.

Suresh Siddha 89027d35aa x64, x2apic/intr-remap: IO-APIC support for interrupt-remapping
IO-APIC support in the presence of interrupt-remapping infrastructure.

IO-APIC RTE will be programmed with interrupt-remapping table entry(IRTE)
index and the IRTE will contain information about the vector, cpu destination,
trigger mode etc, which traditionally was present in the IO-APIC RTE.

Introduce a new irq_chip for cleaner irq migration (in the process
context as opposed to the current irq migration in the context of an interrupt.
interrupt-remapping infrastructure will help us achieve this cleanly).

For edge triggered, irq migration is a simple atomic update(of vector
and cpu destination) of IRTE and flush the hardware cache.

For level triggered, we need to modify the io-apic RTE aswell with the update
vector information, along with modifying IRTE with vector and cpu destination.
So irq migration for level triggered is little  bit more complex compared to
edge triggered migration. But the good news is, we use the same algorithm
for level triggered migration as we have today, only difference being,
we now initiate the irq migration from process context instead of the
interrupt context.

In future, when we do a directed EOI (combined with cpu EOI broadcast
suppression) to the IO-APIC, level triggered irq migration will also be
as simple as edge triggered migration and we can do the irq migration
with a simple atomic update to IO-APIC RTE.

TBD: some tests/changes needed in the presence of fixup_irqs() for
level triggered irq migration.

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.
