[PATCH v2 0/2] Add API for making parts of a MMIO page R/O and use it in XHCI console
Posted by Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 11 months, 4 weeks ago
On older systems, XHCI xcap had a layout that no other (interesting) registers
were placed on the same page as the debug capability, so Linux was fine with
making the whole page R/O. But at least on Tiger Lake and Alder Lake, Linux
needs to write to some other registers on the same page too.

Add a generic API for making just parts of an MMIO page R/O and use it to fix
USB3 console with share=yes or share=hwdom options. More details in commit
messages.

I had the issue with a 10th Gen, Comet Lake, laptop.  With an HVM
usbvm with dbgp=xhci,share=1, Xen crashed the domain because of:
(XEN) d1v0 EPT violation 0xdaa (-w-/r-x) gpa 0x000000f1008470 mfn 0xcc328 type 5

The BAR is mfn 0xcc320-0xcc32f

Booting PV, it faulted at drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c:1170 which looks to be:
```
/* Disable any BIOS SMIs and clear all SMI events*/
writel(val, base + ext_cap_offset + XHCI_LEGACY_CONTROL_OFFSET);
```

Thanks for integrating XUE, Marek!

Regards,
Jason

Hmm, this series is supposed to avoid exactly this issue. I tested it on
12th Gen, so maybe 10th Gen has a bit different layout.
Can you add a debug print before subpage_mmio_ro_add() call in
xhci-dbc.c and see what area is getting protected?

Your series fixes the problem!

I just had the details from the original issue, so I included them.  I
was trying to highlight what this series fixed for me.  Sorry for the
confusion.

Ah, then all is good, thanks for testing! :)
