similar to: [PATCH]vtd, one more fix about PMR disable

HPET intr-near-missing means if the current counter value is too close to the comparator value to be reprogrammed the expected HPET intr may be missing. Linux kernel uses a mininal 48-hpet-ticks(~3.5us) distance to workaround this, but personal observation showed there is still failure case while delta=0xba (~13.5us). So choosing 20us as the MIN_DELTA_NS should be helpful to prevent near-missing

Local APIC timer may stop at deep C state (C3/C4...) entry/exit. Initial HPET broadcast working in legacy replacing mode, broke RTC intr, so was bypassed. This patch add the logic that use platform timer (PIT) to reenable local APIC timer at C state entry/exit. Currently, only keep PIT enabled with 100Hz freq. The next step is trying to dynamically enable/disable PIT while needed, and give it

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 as introduced with the patch "x86-64: detect processors subject to AMD erratum #121 and

Attached is a patch for shared interrupt between dom0 and HVM domain for vtd. Most of problem is caused by that we should inject interrupt to both domains and the physical interrupt deassertion then may be delayed by the device assigned to the HVM. The patch adds a timer, and the time out value is sufficient large to tolerant the delaying used to wait for the physical interrupt deassertion.

Keir, It''s a resending patch for the timeout mechanism to deal with the shared interrupt issue for vt-d enabled hvm guest. We modify the patch following your comments last time and make some other small fix: 1) We don''t touch the locking around the hvm_dpci_eoi(). 2) Remove the HZ from the TIME_OUT_PERIOD macro which may confuse others. 3) Add some

CPUIDLE: Avoid remnant LAPIC timer intr while force hpetbroadcast LAPIC will stop during C3, and resume to work after exit from C3. Considering below case: The LAPIC timer was programmed to expire after 1000us, but CPU enter C3 after 100us and exit C3 at 9xxus. 0us: reprogram_timer(1000us) 100us: entry C3, LAPIC timer stop 9xxus: exit C3 due to unexpected event, LAPIC timer continue running

cpuidle: Fix for timer_deadline==0 case After the scheduler timer became suspended before entering cpu idle state, the percpu timer_deadline is possible to be 0, i.e. no soft timer in the queue. This case will cause unexpected large residency percentage in C1 for the purely idle cpu. The fix is if timer_deadline == 0, skip most hpet broadcast enter logic because no broadcast is needed for this

The following 5 patches are re-submissions of the vt-d patch. This set of patches has been tested against cs# 15080 and is now much more mature and tested against more environments than the original patch. Specifically, we have successfully tested the patch with following environements: - 32/64-bit Linux HVM guest - 32-bit Windows XP/Vista (64-bit should work but did not test) -

Hi, I am having great difficulties in getting pci passthrough with VTd to work, surely I am doing something stupid but I cannot see what. "tangram" (https://www.blogger.com/profile/06588030231546523539) has been a huge help, but despite his efforts I am still stuck. Hardware: Intel S3200SHV motherboard BIOS : S3200X38.86B.00.00.0052 CPU : Intel Core 2

Now if VT-d is enabled, when Dom0 does S3, Xen doesn''t suspend/resume the IOMMU states. The patch adds the missing invocations of iommu_suspend()/iommu_resume() and makes some nesessary fixes: 1) In iommu_set_root_entry(), we should not re-allocate the root-entry when Xen returns from S3; 2) Define the array iommu_state correctly (u8 -> u32); 3) Only save/restore the necessary IOMMU
