[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] VT-d: reconcile iommu_inclusive_mapping and iommu=dom0-strict

[Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The documentation for the iommu_inclusive_mapping Xen command line option
states:

"Use this to work around firmware issues providing incorrect RMRR entries"

Unfortunately this workaround does not function correctly if the dom0-strict
iommu option is also specified.

The documentation goes on to say:

"Rather than only mapping RAM pages for IOMMU accesses for Dom0, with this
 option all pages up to 4GB, not marked as unusable in the E820 table, will
 get a mapping established."

This patch modifies the VT-d hardware domain initialization code such that
the workaround will continue to function in dom0-strict mode, by mapping
all pages not marked as unusable *unless* they are RAM pages not assigned
to dom0.

NOTE: This patch modifies the test in drivers/passthrough/vtd/iommu.c from
      need_iommu() to is_pv_domain() since dom0-strict implies need_iommu()
      so we no longer want to gate invocation od vtd_set_hwdom_mapping()
      on that.
      It also exports the iommu_dom0_strict flag so that the implementation
      of vtd_set_hwdom_mapping() can test it explicitly. It would be
      possible to test need_iommu() instead, but it is more illustrative
      to test the original flag rather than one of its side-effects.

v3:
 - Re-word the xen-command-line.markdown modification slightly.
 - Add a note to the commit comment to better explain some of the hunks.

v2:
 - Make sure that the initial mapping only applies to PV dom0.
