The IOMMU table tries to separate the different IOMMUs into different
backends, but actually requires various cross calls.

Rewrite the code to do the generic swiotlb/swiotlb-xen setup directly
in pci-dma.c and then just call into the IOMMU drivers.

<title>iommu/vt-d: Dump DMAR translation structure when DMA fault occurs</title>

When the dmar translation fault happens, the kernel prints a single line
fault reason with corresponding hexadecimal code defined in the Intel VT-d
specification.

Currently, when user wants to debug the translation fault in detail,
debugfs is used for dumping the dmar_translation_struct, which is not
available when the kernel failed to boot.

Dump the DMAR translation structure, pagewalk the IO page table and print
the page table entry when the fault happens.

This takes effect only when CONFIG_DMAR_DEBUG is enabled.

<title>iommu/vt-d: Skip TE disabling on quirky gfx dedicated iommu</title>

<id>b1012ca8dc4f9b1a1fe8e2cb1590dd6d43ea3849</id>
<content type='text'>
The VT-d spec requires (10.4.4 Global Command Register, TE field) that:

Hardware implementations supporting DMA draining must drain any in-flight
DMA read/write requests queued within the Root-Complex before completing
the translation enable command and reflecting the status of the command
through the TES field in the Global Status register.

Unfortunately, some integrated graphic devices fail to do so after some
kind of power state transition. As the result, the system might stuck in
iommu_disable_translation(), waiting for the completion of TE transition.

This provides a quirk list for those devices and skips TE disabling if
the qurik hits.

Similar to the commit 02d715b4a818 ("iommu/vt-d: Fix RCU list debugging
warnings"), there are several other places that call
list_for_each_entry_rcu() outside of an RCU read side critical section
but with dmar_global_lock held. Silence those false positives as well.

<title>iommu/vt-d: Turn off translations at shutdown</title>

<id>6c3a44ed3c553c324845744f30bcd1d3b07d61fd</id>
<content type='text'>
The intel-iommu driver assumes that the iommu state is
cleaned up at the start of the new kernel.
But, when we try to kexec boot something other than the
Linux kernel, the cleanup cannot be relied upon.
Hence, cleanup before we go down for reboot.

Keeping the cleanup at initialization also, in case BIOS
leaves the IOMMU enabled.

I considered turning off iommu only during kexec reboot, but a clean
shutdown seems always a good idea. But if someone wants to make it
conditional, such as VMM live update, we can do that.  There doesn't
seem to be such a condition at this time.

Tested that before, the info message
'DMAR: Translation was enabled for &lt;iommu&gt; but we are not in kdump mode'
would be reported for each iommu. The message will not appear when the
DMA-remapping is not enabled on entry to the kernel.

Intel VT-d spec added a new DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG flag in DMAR
ACPI table [1] for BIOS to report compliance about platform initiated
DMA restricted to RMRR ranges when transferring control to the OS. This
means that during OS boot, before it enables IOMMU none of the connected
devices can bypass DMA protection for instance by overwriting the data
structures used by the IOMMU. The OS also treats this as a hint that the
IOMMU should be enabled to prevent DMA attacks from possible malicious
devices.

A use of this flag is Kernel DMA protection for Thunderbolt [2] which in
practice means that IOMMU should be enabled for PCIe devices connected
to the Thunderbolt ports. With IOMMU enabled for these devices, all DMA
operations are limited in the range reserved for it, thus the DMA
attacks are prevented. All these devices are enumerated in the PCI/PCIe
module and marked with an untrusted flag.

This forces IOMMU to be enabled if DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG is set
in DMAR ACPI table and there are PCIe devices marked as untrusted in the
system. This can be turned off by adding "intel_iommu=off" in the kernel
command line, if any problems are found.
