Subject: [PATCH] AMD/guest_iommu: Disable guest iommu support
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 15:02:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412258549-18671-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

AMD Guest IOMMU support was added to allow correct use of PASID and PRI
hardware support with an ATS-aware guest driver.

However, support cannot possibly function as guest_iommu_set_base() has no
callers.  This means that its MMIO region's P2M pages are not set to
p2m_mmio_dm, preventing any invocation of the MMIO read/write handlers.

c/s fd186384 "x86/HVM: extend LAPIC shortcuts around P2M lookups" introduces a
path (via hvm_mmio_internal()) where iommu_mmio_handler claims its MMIO range,
and causes __hvm_copy() to fail with HVMCOPY_bad_gfn_to_mfn.

iommu->mmio_base defaults to 0, with a range of 8 pages, and is unilaterally
enabled in any HVM guests when the host IOMMU(s) supports any extended
features.

Unfortunately, HVMLoader's AP boot trampoline executes an `lmsw` instruction
at linear address 0x100c which unconditionally requires emulation.  The
instruction fetch in turn fails as __hvm_copy() fails with
HVMCOPY_bad_gfn_to_mfn.

The result is that multi-vcpu HVM guests do not work on newer AMD hardware, if
IOMMU support is enabled in the BIOS.

Change the default mmio_base address to ~0ULL.  This prevents
guest_iommu_mmio_range() from actually claiming any physical range
whatsoever, which allows the emulation of `lmsw` to succeed.
