similar to: [PATCH v3] IOMMU: keep disabled until iommu_setup() is called

The iommu is enabled by default when xen is booting and later disabled in iommu_setup() when no iommu is present. But under some circumstances iommu-code can be called before iommu_setup() is processed. If there is no iommu available xen crashes. This can happen for example when panic(...) is called that got introduced with patch "x86-64: detect processors subject to AMD erratum #121 and

1: IOMMU: properly check whether interrupt remapping is enabled 2: AMD IOMMU: only disable when certain IVRS consistency checks fail 3: VT-d: deal with 5500/5520/X58 errata Patch 1 and 2 are version 2 of a previously submitted, then withdrawn patch following up after XSA-36. Patch 3 is version 3 of a patch previously sent by Malcolm and Andrew. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Hello everyone, Reposting with after having applied the (minor) fixes suggested by Wei and Jan. Allen, if you can tell us what you think about this, or suggest someone else to ask some feedback to, if you''re no longer involved with VT-d, that would be great! :-) -- As already discussed here [1], dealing with IOMMU faults in interrupt context may cause nasty things to happen, up to

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/5520-and-5500-chipset-ioh-specification-update.html Stepping B-3 has two errata (#47 and #53) related to Interrupt remapping, to which the workaround is for the BIOS to completely disable interrupt remapping. These errata are fixed in stepping C-2. Unfortunately this chipset is very common and many BIOSes are not disabling remapping. We can

When xl is called to create a domU and there is not enough memory available, then the autoballooning is called to extract memory from dom0. During the ballooning a loop in libxl_wait_for_free_memory() waits unless enough memory is available to create the domU. But because of a variable-underflow the loop can finish too soon and xl finally aborts with the message: xc: error: panic:

Introduce a new flag to disable iommu emulation on old iommu systems. This patch is taken from my v4 patch queue, which is till pending, to make old or non-iommu system to run cleanly without interfered by iommuv2 codes. This might be helpful to isolate iommuv2 code in debugging unstable regressions. The reset part of v4 will be re-based. Thanks, Wei Signed-off-by: Wei Wang

This fixes a bug in changeset 22526:7a5ee3800417, where the wrong value is read when deciding whether to flush the VTd tables. The effect is minor: in situations where the p2m entry is changed but the mfn is the same, the VTd tables will be unnecessarily flushed. old_entry is left untouched in the second case, since having a present old_entry will cause the an unnecessary check to be taken at

Does Xen 3.0.0 actually support the IOMMU on x86_64? I''ve tried building with a couple of different configurations, and it always fails if I''ve enabled CONFIG_GART_IOMMU. The problems center around undefined references to functions such as dma_alloc_coherent, dma_free_coherent, iommu_setup, iommu_hole_init, force_iommu, iommu_aperture_allowed, and so on. In all cases, changing

Hi list, I have a problem with a new laptop (reproducable on other machines too) and the xen hypervisor. When the hypervisor gets booted with VESA mode 800x600 I see some messages and then the screen contents is switched into a pattern of vertical colored lines and never comes back. In text mode all works well, but later the pattern appears when the X servers starts. I disabled VTd in the bios

These two patches were originally part of the XSM series that I have posted, and remain prerequisites for that series. However, they are independent of the XSM changes and are a useful simplification regardless of the use of XSM. The Acked-bys on these patches were provided before rebasing them over the copyback changes in 26268:1b72138bddda, which had minor conflicts that I resolved. [PATCH

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.
