Linux kernel IOMMU代码分析笔记(2)

系统BIOS会检查平台的remapping硬件功能,并且会在主机的系统地址空间内定位memory-mapped remapping硬件寄存器。BIOS通过DMA Remapping Reporting (DMAR) ACPI table向系统软件报告remapping硬件单元信息。

除了RSDPFACS,所有的ACPI table定义都包含一个共同的header定义:

struct acpi_table_header {
    char signature[ACPI_NAME_SIZE]; /* ASCII table signature */
    u32 length;     /* Length of table in bytes, including this header */
    u8 revision;        /* ACPI Specification minor version number */
    u8 checksum;        /* To make sum of entire table == 0 */
    char oem_id[ACPI_OEM_ID_SIZE];  /* ASCII OEM identification */
    char oem_table_id[ACPI_OEM_TABLE_ID_SIZE];  /* ASCII OEM table identification */
    u32 oem_revision;   /* OEM revision number */
    char asl_compiler_id[ACPI_NAME_SIZE];   /* ASCII ASL compiler vendor ID */
    u32 asl_compiler_revision;  /* ASL compiler version */
};

DMA Remapping table定义如下(可以看到包含有acpi_table_header):

struct acpi_table_dmar {
    struct acpi_table_header header;    /* Common ACPI table header */
    u8 width;       /* Host Address Width */
    u8 flags;
    u8 reserved[10];
};

对所有的DMA Remapping结构体,都会包含一个type和一个length

/* DMAR subtable header */

struct acpi_dmar_header {
    u16 type;
    u16 length;
};

DMA Remapping Hardware单元(类型为0)为例:

/* 0: Hardware Unit Definition */

struct acpi_dmar_hardware_unit {
    struct acpi_dmar_header header;
    u8 flags;
    u8 reserved;
    u16 segment;
    u64 address;        /* Register Base Address */
};

其它的还有acpi_dmar_reserved_memoryacpi_dmar_atsr等等定义。
