VT-d RMRR (Reserved Memory Region Reporting) regions are reserved for device use only and should not be part of allocable memory pool of OS. BIOS e820_table reports complete memory map to OS, including OS usable memory ranges and BIOS reserved memory ranges etc. x86 BIOS may not be trusted to include RMRR regions as reserved type of memory in its e820 memory map, hence validate every RMRR entry with the e820 memory map to make sure the RMRR regions will not be used by OS for any other purposes. ia64 EFI is working fine so implement RMRR validation as a dummy function Reviewed-by: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Sohil Mehta <sohil.mehta@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Yian Chen <yian.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
