The translation table copying code for kdump kernels is currently based
on the extended root/context entry formats of ECS mode defined in older
VT-d v2.5, and doesn't handle the scalable mode formats. This causes
the kexec capture kernel boot failure with DMAR faults if the IOMMU was
enabled in scalable mode by the previous kernel.
The ECS mode has already been deprecated by the VT-d spec since v3.0 and
Intel IOMMU driver doesn't support this mode as there's no real hardware
implementation. Hence this converts ECS checking in copying table code
into scalable mode.
The existing copying code consumes a bit in the context entry as a mark
of copied entry. It needs to work for the old format as well as for the
extended context entries. As it's hard to find such a common bit for both
legacy and scalable mode context entries. This replaces it with a per-
IOMMU bitmap.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
