[REGRESSION] applespi from 6.12 onwards

[REGRESSION] applespi from 6.12 onwards

[Berkel Jörg]

Keyboard and touchpad stopped working on several Apple Macbooks from the 
year 2017 using kernel 6.12.xx . Until now I could only find this 
discussion affirming the bug on Debian and Fedora: 
https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/202

On siduction I also tried the more recent kernels 6.14.5 and mainline 
6.15-rc4 (from Ubuntu) and the issue persisted with my testdevice 
MacBookPro14,1 -- see the relevant output:

Hi Jörg

Did you try bisecting the faulty commit? Is is starting from 6.12 or some
version above it?

You can also try testing pre-compiled kernels from here:

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/

or here:

https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Debian-and-Ubuntu-Kernel/releases

Now I did:
Kernel from Ubuntu 6.11.11 is working fine and 6.12.0 is not -- 6.12-rc1 
and following are not working, neither!

Thanks, Jörg

It appears that all DMA faults are related to a fixed address,
0xffffa000. Is this address something special?

Also what does below message mean from a SPI driver's perspective?

"applespispi-APP000D:00: Error writing to device: 01 0e 00 00"

I am asking this because the IOMMU fault messages are about DMA Reads
(device raised memory read), while above message complains failing to
write to device.

Thanks,
baolu

When sending a command to the peripheral device applespi expects it to
acknowledge successful transfer with

	static u8 status_ok[] = { 0xac, 0x27, 0x68, 0xd5 };

but we are getting "01 0e 00 00" instead.

See applespi_check_write_status() in drivers/input/Keyboard/applespi.c

Thanks.

Since its working with `iommu.passthrough=1`, probably disable iommu for this hardware (if possible)?

Although there must be some other fix since it was working without passthrough before.

Maybe it's retrying the same buffer a few times before finally giving 
up? The address does look like a plausible iommu-dma IOVA, so I can 
imagine at least two possibilities where a change in the IOMMU driver 
might have an impact:

- It's the right address in the right context but incorrectly mapped as 
DMA_FROM_DEVICE, where that previously had implicit read permission as 
well but is now write-only (can the Intel 2nd-stage format do that like 
Arm does? I forget...)

- It's the right address in the wrong context, because the DMA mapping 
was done with the wrong device, which was previously in the same IOMMU 
group as 00:1e.3, but now we assign groups differently. I don't know if 
lpss_spi_setup() is relevant to this particular hardware setup, but 
"dma_dev = pci_get_slot(dev->bus, PCI_DEVFN(PCI_SLOT(dev->devfn), 0));" 
there certainly catches my attention, at least.

The DMA mapping tracepoints should be able to shed light on how that 
address is mapped prior to the fault.

AFAICS it's a "write" at the SPI level, i.e. the SPI controller is 
sending data *to* the SPI device (the keyboard), so at the PCI/platform 
level the controller itself is fetching that data *from* memory.

Thanks,
Robin.

A full dmesg with debug log level should be nice to have imo.

Jörg can you do that for both 6.11 and 6.12?

you'll find attached the two kernel-logfiles created using

Hi Jörg

Can you test the kernel here to see if this fixes your issue:

https://github.com/t2linux/T2-Debian-and-Ubuntu-Kernel/actions/runs/14944200356

Alternatively you can try compiling your own kernel with this patch:

As far as I have tried, this patch did not solve the problem.

By bisecting, I found that this problem was introduced by commit
2031c469f816 ("iommu/vt-d: Add support for static identity domain").
In fact, since this commit, it will panic at startup.  This panic was
fixed by commit 6e02a277f1db ("iommu/vt-d: Fix incorrect
pci_for_each_dma_alias() for non-PCI devices").  So I applied commit
6e02a277f1db on commit 2031c469f816 and confirmed that the keyboard
and touchpad is not working.

I also found that I can workaround this problem by reverting only the
intel_iommu_attach_device() change in commit 2031c469f816 as in the
attached patch, but I'm not sure if this is a reasonable fix.

Have you tried to apply commit 64f792981e35 ("iommu/vt-d: Remove device
comparison in context_setup_pass_through_cb")?

Yes, I tried it on yesterday's master branch, including commit
64f792981e35.

- Keyboard/Touchpad NOT working:
  - No patches
  - With patch in https://lore.kernel.org/all/0-v1-c26553717e90+65f-iommu_vtd_ss_wo_jgg@nvidia.com/
- Keyboard/Touchpad working:
  - With my workaround patch

Thanks!  The keyboard and touchpad now work with this patch.  I tested
it with the same master branch as before (commit 3ce9925823c7).

Intel 2nd-stage page table format allows write-only permission. But
commit eea53c581688 ("iommu/vt-d: Remove WO permissions on second-level
paging entries") has already removed it, and v6.12 kernel contains this
commit.

By the way, we are about to restore the write-only permission on 2nd-
stage page table,

https://lore.kernel.org/all/0-v1-c26553717e90+65f-iommu_vtd_ss_wo_jgg@nvidia.com/

... if the device driver provides only DMA_FROM_DEVICE and the iommu
driver uses 2nd-stage page table for its dma translation.

The iommu driver currently treats DMA_FROM_DEVICE as a hint rather than
a mandatory requirement. If we want to enforce write-only permission in
the future, we should allocate a domain allocation flag so that the
iommu driver could have the opportunity to select the appropriate page
table format.

Yes. DMA mapping trace messages would shed more lights.
