The tboot module will DMA protect all of memory in order to ensure the that kernel will be able to initialize without compromise (from DMA). Consequently, the kernel must enable Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d or Intel IOMMU) in order to replace this broad protection with the appropriate page-granular protection. Otherwise DMA devices will be unable to read or write from memory and the kernel will eventually panic. Because runtime IOMMU support is configurable by command line options, this patch will force it to be enabled regardless of the options specified, and will log a message if it was required to force it on. dmar.c | 7 +++++++ intel-iommu.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: NJoseph Cihula <joseph.cihula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NShane Wang <shane.wang@intel.com> Cc: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: NH.
