A "DPA invalidation event" is any scenario where the contents of a DPA (Device Physical Address) is modified in a way that is incoherent with CPU caches, or if the HPA (Host Physical Address) to DPA association changes due to a remapping event. PMEM security events like Unlock and Passphrase Secure Erase already manage caches through LIBNVDIMM, so that leaves HPA to DPA remap events that need cache management by the CXL core. Those only happen when the boot time CXL configuration has changed. That event occurs when userspace attaches an endpoint decoder to a region configuration, and that region is subsequently activated. The implications of not invalidating caches between remap events is that reads from the region at different points in time may return different results due to stale cached data from the previous HPA to DPA mapping. Without a guarantee that the region contents after cxl_region_probe() are written before being read (a layering-violation assumption that cxl_region_probe() can not make) the CXL subsystem needs to ensure that reads that precede writes see consistent results. A CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST option is added to support debug and unit testing of the CXL implementation in QEMU or other environments where cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion() returns false. This may prove too restrictive for QEMU where the HDM decoders are emulated, but in that case the CXL subsystem needs some new mechanism / indication that the HDM decoder is emulated and not a passthrough of real hardware.

CXL is a bus that is electrically compatible with PCI Express, but
|
|
layers three protocols on that signalling (CXL.io, CXL.cache, and
|
|
CXL.mem). The CXL.cache protocol allows devices to hold cachelines
|
|
locally, the CXL.mem protocol allows devices to be fully coherent
|
|
memory targets, the CXL.io protocol is equivalent to PCI Express.
|
|
Say 'y' to enable support for the configuration and management of
|
|
devices supporting these protocols.

Enable CXL RAW command interface.

The CXL driver ioctl interface may assign a kernel ioctl command
|
|
number for each specification defined opcode. At any given point in
|
|
time the number of opcodes that the specification defines and a device
|
|
may implement may exceed the kernel's set of associated ioctl function
|
|
numbers. The mismatch is either by omission, specification is too new,
|
|
or by design. When prototyping new hardware, or developing / debugging
|
|
the driver it is useful to be able to submit any possible command to
|
|
the hardware, even commands that may crash the kernel due to their
|
|
potential impact to memory currently in use by the kernel.
|

If developing CXL hardware or the driver say Y, otherwise say N.

CXL Region management and security operations potentially invalidate
|
|
the content of CPU caches without notifiying those caches to
|
|
invalidate the affected cachelines. The CXL Region driver attempts
|
|
to invalidate caches when those events occur. If that invalidation
|
|
fails the region will fail to enable. Reasons for cache
|
|
invalidation failure are due to the CPU not providing a cache
|
|
invalidation mechanism. For example usage of wbinvd is restricted to
|
|
bare metal x86. However, for testing purposes toggling this option
|
|
can disable that data integrity safety and proceed with enabling
|
|
regions when there might be conflicting contents in the CPU cache.

If unsure, or if this kernel is meant for production environments,
