Hi All,

Here is v7 of my patch to address the E820 reservations vs PCI host bridge
ranges issue which are causing touchpad and/or thunderbolt issues on many
different laptop models.

After previous attemps to identify these systems by looking for E820
reservations covering the entire bridge window, which broke the boot
on some coreboot based ChromeBooks we are now back to using a bios date
based approach, now combined with DMI quirks for systems after the
cutoff date which still report a wrong window from their _CRS method
despite them being new(ish).

This is based on top of Bjorn's pci/resource branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/log/?h=pci/resource

Regards,

Hans

Some BIOS-es contain bugs where they add addresses which are already
used in some other manner to the PCI host bridge window returned by
the ACPI _CRS method. To avoid this Linux by default excludes
E820 reservations when allocating addresses since 2010, see:
commit 4dc2287c1805 ("x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address
space").

Recently (2019) some systems have shown-up with E820 reservations which
cover the entire _CRS returned PCI bridge memory window, causing all
attempts to assign memory to PCI BARs which have not been setup by the
BIOS to fail. For example here are the relevant dmesg bits from a
Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL 81WE:

 [mem 0x000000004bc50000-0x00000000cfffffff] reserved
 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x65400000-0xbfffffff window]

The ACPI specifications appear to allow this new behavior:

The relationship between E820 and ACPI _CRS is not really very clear.
ACPI v6.3, sec 15, table 15-374, says AddressRangeReserved means:

  This range of addresses is in use or reserved by the system and is
  not to be included in the allocatable memory pool of the operating
  system's memory manager.

and it may be used when:

  The address range is in use by a memory-mapped system device.

Furthermore, sec 15.2 says:

  Address ranges defined for baseboard memory-mapped I/O devices, such
  as APICs, are returned as reserved.

A PCI host bridge qualifies as a baseboard memory-mapped I/O device,
and its apertures are in use and certainly should not be included in
the general allocatable pool, so the fact that some BIOS-es reports
the PCI aperture as "reserved" in E820 doesn't seem like a BIOS bug.

So it seems that the excluding of E820 reserved addresses is a mistake.

Ideally Linux would fully stop excluding E820 reserved addresses,
but then various old systems will regress.
Instead keep the old behavior for old systems, while ignoring
the E820 reservations for any systems from now on.

Old systems are defined here as BIOS year < 2018, this was chosen to
make sure that pci_use_e820 will not be set on the currently affected
systems, the oldest known one is from 2019.

Testing has shown that some newer systems also have a bad _CRS return.
The pci_crs_quirks DMI table is used to keep excluding E820 reservations
from the bridge window on these systems.

Also add pci=no_e820 and pci=use_e820 options to allow overriding
the BIOS year + DMI matching logic.

Changes in v7:
- Re-add the pci=use_e820 and pci=no_e820 kernel cmdline options since it
  turns out that some newer laptops still need pci=use_e820
- Add DMI quirks for known newer laptops which need pci=use_e820

Changes in v6:
- Remove the possibility to change the behavior from the commandline
  because of worries that users may use this to paper over other problems

Changes in v5:
- Drop mention of Windows behavior from the commit msg, replace with a
  reference to the specs
- Improve documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
- Reword the big comment added, use "PCI host bridge window" in it and drop
  all refences to Windows

Changes in v4:
- Rewrap the big comment block to fit in 80 columns
- Add Rafael's Acked-by
- Add Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Commit msg tweaks (drop dmesg timestamps, typo fix)
- Use "defined(CONFIG_...)" instead of "defined CONFIG_..."
- Add Mika's Reviewed-by

Changes in v2:
- Replace the per model DMI quirk approach with disabling E820 reservations
  checking for all systems with a BIOS year >= 2018
- Add documentation for the new kernel-parameters to
  Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt

How did you pick 2018?  Prior to this patch, we used E820 reservations
for all machines.  This patch would change that for 2019-2022
machines, so there's a risk of breaking some of them.

I'm hesitant about changing the behavior for machines already in the
field because if they were tested at all with Linux, it was without
this patch.  So I would lean toward preserving the current behavior
for BIOS year < 2023.

I think we should add_taint(TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND) for both these
cases.

We probably should do it for *all* the parameters here, but that would
be a separate discussion.

Correct. I picked 2018 because the first devices where using E820
reservations are causing issues (i2c controller not getting resources
leading to non working touchpad / thunderbolt hotplug issues) have
BIOS dates starting in 2019. I added a year margin, so we could make
this 2019.

I see, I presume the idea is to then use DMI to disable E820 clipping
on current devices where this is known to cause problems ?

So for v8 I would:

1. Change the cut-off check to < 2023
2. Drop the DMI quirks I added for models which are known to need E820
   clipping hit by the < 2018 check
3. Add DMI quirks for models for which it is known that we must _not_
   do E820 clipping

Is this the direction you want to go / does that sound right?

Note the DMI list for 3. will initially very likely be incomplete, but
I can ask around for testing once we have settled on this approach
and do one or more follow up patches to extend the list.

Yes, I think that's what we should do.  All the machines in the field
will be unaffected, except that we add quirks for known problems.

I've been working on this today. I've mostly been going through
the all the existing bugs about this, to make a list of DMI matches
for devices on which we should _not_ do e820 clipping to fix th
kernel being unable to assign BARs there.

I've found an interesting pattern there, all affected devices
are Lenovo devices with "IIL" in there device name, e.g. :
"IdeaPad 3 15IIL05". I've looked up all Lenovo devices which
have "IIL" as part of their DMI_PRODUCT_VERSION string here:
https://github.com/linuxhw/DMI/

And then looked them up at https://linux-hardware.org/ and checked
their dmesg to see if they have the e820 problem other ideapads
have. I've gone through approx. half the list now and all
except one model seem to have the e820 problem.

So it looks like we might be able to match all problem models
with a single DMI match.

So the problem seems to be limited to one specific device
series / range and this is making me have second thoughts
about doing a date based cut-off at all. Trying to switch
over any models which are new in 2023 is fine, the problem
with a DMI BIOS date approach though is that as soon as some
new management-engine CVE comes out we will also see BIOS
updates with a year of 2023 for many existing models, of
up to 3-4 years old at least; and chances are that some of
those older models getting BIOS updates will be bitten by
this change.

So as said I'm having second thoughts about the date based
approach. Bjorn, what do you think of just using DMI quirks
to disable e820 clipping on known problematic models and
otherwise keeping things as is ?

Note I'm also fine with going with the 2023 date based
approach, I'm just wondering if that will be a good idea
and not something which we might regret later.

Regards,

Hans


p.s.

I've seen your email about the Acer laptop; I'll take
a look at that coming Wednesday.

So I couldn't help myself and I took a quick peek. This
definitely is the same issue as on the various lenovo
devices, with an E820 reserved region covering the entire
bridge window, causing assigning unassigned BARs like
for the I2C controller for the touchpad to not work.

Interestingly enough, this is the first non Lenovo
machine with this issue I have heard about.

Hans

That sounds reasonable.  I assume that if we skip the clipping for
every platform that matches "IIL", we can also add exceptions for the
inevitable "IIL" platforms that do need the clip?  E.g., specific
entries at the end of the list that override the previous generic
match?

That's a good point and sounds fairly painful when that happens,
but I don't see a nice way out of this.

I think we need a long-term strategy that can be clearly expressed 
in a sentence or two and is consistent with the ACPI and PCI specs,
and I don't think the current strategy is it.  Clipping with E820
regions happened to work for some machines, but there's no reason to
think it will work in general.

Yes we can add a more specific match higher up in the pci_crs_quirks[]
array and then use a callback which returns non 0 to make
dmi_check_system() abort checking the rest of the array.

Ok, so what I'm reading between the lines here is that despite
the concerns which I've voiced you want to continue with
disabling e820 clipping by default for machines with a
DMI_BIOS_DATE year of 2023 or newer. Which is fine by me I
just wanted to get my concerns out there.

I'm almost done prepping a v8 now. I had to do some other
stuff and spend a lot of time checking dmesg output for
all the Lenovo *IIL* models.

For v8 I've also added a quirk for the Acer model you pointed
me to in another email.

Regards,

Hans

The current v8 patch [1] adds quirks to disable clipping for Lenovo
"*IIL*" and Acer Spin 5.  I think we also need to add one for Clevo
Barebones [2], don't we?

Here's how I think about the date-based approach.  See if it seems
sensible to you.

Without a date check, we'll continue clipping by default:

  - Future systems like Lenovo *IIL*, Acer Spin, and Clevo Barebones
    will require new quirks to disable clipping.

  - The problem here is E820 entries that cover entire _CRS windows
    that should not be clipped out.

  - I think these E820 entries are legal per spec, and it would be
    hard to get BIOS vendors to change them.

  - We will discover new systems that need clipping disabled piecemeal
    as they are released.

  - Future systems like Lenovo X1 Carbon and the Chromebooks (probably
    anything using coreboot) will just work and we will not notice new
    ones that rely on the clipping.

  - BIOS updates will not require new quirks unless they change the
    DMI model string.

With a date check that disables clipping, e.g., "no clipping when
date > 2022":

  - Future systems like Lenovo *IIL*, Acer Spin, and Clevo Barebones
    will just work without new quirks.

  - Future systems like Lenovo X1 Carbon and the Chromebooks will
    require new quirks to *enable* clipping.

  - The problem here is that _CRS contains regions that are not usable
    by PCI devices, and we rely on the E820 kludge to clip them out.

  - I think this use of E820 is clearly a firmware bug, so we have a
    fighting chance of getting it changed eventually.

  - BIOS updates after the cutoff date *will* require quirks, but only
    for systems like Lenovo X1 Carbon and Chromebooks that we already
    think have broken firmware.

Is that a fair summary?

If so, it still seems to me like it's better to add quirks for
firmware that we think is broken than for firmware that seems unusual
but correct.

But I do think maybe we should split the date check to a separate
patch.  The rationale for the date check (to put the quirk burden on
systems with buggy firmware) is a little different from the "disable
E820 clipping" reason for the quirks.

I think the "disable clipping" quirks by themselves should fix all the
known broken systems, shouldn't they?  I'd really, really like to get
these quirks in for v5.18 if possible.

For future reference, I'm attaching below all the bugs I know about
and the details of what's in E820 and _CRS.

      For all of the above, E820 covers entire _CRS window.  Trimming
      the entire window means we can't assign any MMIO space.

  These require 4dc2287c1805:

    b/148759816 Chromebooks
      For the above, E820 covers part of _CRS window.  Failure to trim
      that part means we assign MMIO space that doesn't work.

Right looking at the dmesg output that one needs to be added to,
I've done that for the v9 which I'm preparing.

Yes that seems a good summary to me. Actually it is so good I'm going
to steal it for the commit msg of the split out date check patch :)

Ack.

Yes they should.

Ok, I'll go and prepare a v9 and I will submit that later today.

I believe that this summary is correct, except that the broken by
4dc2287c1805 list needs the TUXEDO / Clevo:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214259 02/01/2021 TUXEDO (Clevo)

Would it be practical to split into three patches?

  1) Add command-line args
  2) Add DMI quirks
  3) Add date check

It seems easier to assimilate and document in smaller pieces, if
that's possible.

Ack, will do. Note this will cause quite a bit of copy/paste
in the commit msg to explain why these changes are necessary.

OK, if the repetition gets excessive I can squash them back
together.  Hopefully the main explanation can go in the first patch,
the second can just mention the fact that these machines need the
exception, and the third can focus on the plan for the future.

I'm almost done with prepping v9 and atm there is a 17 line
introduction of the problem which is shared between all 3
patches in the commit msg.

I personally don't think this is too bad, but feel free to
shorten it a bit in patch 2 + 3 before merging these.

I think the split makes sense, so I would prefer you amending
the commit msg over squashing them back together again.

Regards,

Hans
