This appears to be caused by that changset''s change to
xen/drivers/passthrough/vtd/dmar.c - I didn''t notice that
tboot_parse_dmar_table() would call acpi_parse_dmar() on a copy of
the table rather than the original, and I also can''t see why it needs
to
do so. Just not freeing the table copy should at least get the crash
resolved, but the zapping then still wouldn''t work. Me agreeing to
reverting that part of the change needs explanation why things need
to be done this way (i.e. why, if Dom0 can find the real table anyway,
Xen can''t use it directly), and would perhaps force quite a bit of code
back out of .init.*, which I''d really like to avoid. Plus, this code in
tboot_parse_dmar_table() looks more like a hack currently.
Hmm, wait - an apparently simple alternative might be to have
acpi_parse_dmar() or acpi_dmar_init() do what get_dmar() did
before (rather than simply using acpi_parse_dmar()''s input to
store into dmar_table). Could you give the patch below a try
(I kept the disabling of IRQs, but I don''t think that is necessary
anymore)?

Could you give the patch below a try (I kept the > disabling of IRQs, but I don''t think that is necessary anymore)?I applied this patch on c/s 23013 and tested, it makes things working again. BTW, just looked into the code before 23013, the original acpi_dmar_reinstate() should never work because acpi_get_table(ACPI_SIG_DMAR, 0, &dmar_table) could not find the dmar table after it was zapped during the booting. That may be reason why tboot S3 don''t work recently. I haven''t verified whether tboot S3 is working after apply this patch yet, and may give it a try next week.

Just not freeing the table copy should at least get the crashAs part of the TXT launch process, the DMAR table will get copy to the TXT heap where SINIT will verify it for correctness. It is copied to the TXT heap to prevent any malicious DMA modification of the table during and after verification. Since it is this copy that is known to be good, if Xen is launched with tboot then it will use the verified copy.> resolved, but the zapping then still wouldn''t work.
