From e465058d55a88feb4c7ecabe63eea7ea7147e206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Mason Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 13:58:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Calgary specific bits This patch hooks Calgary into the build, the x86-64 IOMMU initialization paths, and introduces the Calgary specific bits. The implementation draws inspiration from both PPC (which has support for the same chip but requires firmware support which we don't have on x86-64) and gart. Calgary is different from gart in that it support a translation table per PHB, as opposed to the single gart aperture. Changes from previous version: * Addition of boot-time disablement for bus-level translation/isolation (e.g, enable userspace DMA for things like X) * Usage of newer IOMMU abstraction functions Signed-off-by: Muli Ben-Yehuda Signed-off-by: Jon Mason Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/x86_64/Kconfig | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86_64/Kconfig') diff --git a/arch/x86_64/Kconfig b/arch/x86_64/Kconfig index e8c52a1eec06..ccc4a7fb97a3 100644 --- a/arch/x86_64/Kconfig +++ b/arch/x86_64/Kconfig @@ -405,6 +405,25 @@ config IOMMU device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified too. +config CALGARY_IOMMU + bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support" + default y + select SWIOTLB + depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL + help + Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460 + systems.
