The Xen platform PCI device (vendor ID 0x5853) exposed to x86 HVM guests
doesn't have the functionality of a traditional PCI device. The exposed
MMIO BAR is used by some guests (including Linux) as a safe place to map
foreign memory, including the grant table itself.
Traditionally BARs from devices have the uncacheable (UC) cache attribute
from the MTRR, to ensure correct functionality of such devices. hvmloader
mimics this behavior and sets the MTRR attributes of both the low and high
PCI MMIO windows (where BARs of PCI devices reside) as UC in MTRR.
This however causes performance issues for users of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR, as for the purposes of mapping remote memory there's no need to
use the UC attribute. On Intel systems this is worked around by using
iPAT, that allows the hypervisor to force the effective cache attribute of
a p2m entry regardless of the guest PAT value. AMD however doesn't have an
equivalent of iPAT, and guest PAT values are always considered.
Linux commit:
41925b105e34 xen: replace xen_remap() with memremap()
Attempted to mitigate this by forcing mappings of the grant-table to use
the write-back (WB) cache attribute. However Linux memremap() takes MTRRs
into account to calculate which PAT type to use, and seeing the MTRR cache
attribute for the region being UC the PAT also ends up as UC, regardless of
the caller having requested WB.
As a workaround to allow current Linux to map the grant-table as WB using
memremap() introduce an xl.cfg option (xen_platform_pci_bar_uc=0) that can
be used to select whether the Xen platform PCI device BAR will have the UC
attribute in MTRR. Such workaround in hvmloader should also be paired with
a fix for Linux so it attempts to change the MTRR of the Xen platform PCI
device BAR to WB by itself.
Overall, the long term solution would be to provide the guest with a safe
range in the guest physical address space where mappings to foreign pages
can be created.

When dom0 is PVH, and passthrough a device to dumU, xl will
use the gsi number of device to do a pirq mapping, see
pci_add_dm_done->xc_physdev_map_pirq, but the gsi number is
got from file /sys/bus/pci/devices/<sbdf>/irq, that confuses
irq and gsi, they are in different space and are not equal,
so it will fail when mapping.
To solve this issue, to get the real gsi and add a new function
xc_physdev_map_pirq_gsi to get a free pirq for gsi.
Note: why not use current function xc_physdev_map_pirq, because
it doesn't support to allocate a free pirq, what's more, to
prevent changing it and affecting its callers, so add
xc_physdev_map_pirq_gsi.
Besides, PVH dom0 doesn't have PIRQs flag, it doesn't do
PHYSDEVOP_map_pirq for each gsi. So grant function callstack
pci_add_dm_done->XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission will fail at function
domain_pirq_to_irq. And old hypercall XEN_DOMCTL_irq_permission
requires passing in pirq, it is not suitable for PVH dom0 that
doesn't have PIRQs to grant irq permission.
To solve this issue, use the another hypercall
XEN_DOMCTL_gsi_permission to grant the permission of irq(
translate from gsi) to dumU when dom0 has no PIRQs.

The HVM pirq feature allows routing interrupts from both physical and emulated
devices over event channels, this was done a performance improvement. However
its usage is fully undocumented, and the only reference implementation is in
Linux. It defeats the purpose of local APIC hardware virtualization, because
when using it interrupts avoid the usage of the local APIC altogether.
It has also been reported to not work properly with certain devices, at least
when using some AMD GPUs Linux attempts to route interrupts over event
channels, but Xen doesn't correctly detect such routing, which leads to the
hypervisor complaining with:
(XEN) d15v0: Unsupported MSI delivery mode 7 for Dom15
When MSIs are attempted to be routed over event channels the entry delivery
mode is set to ExtINT, but Xen doesn't detect such routing and attempts to
inject the interrupt following the native MSI path, and the ExtINT delivery
mode is not supported.
Disable HVM PIRQs by default and provide a per-domain option in xl.cfg to
enable such feature. Also for backwards compatibility keep the feature enabled
for any resumed domains that don't have an explicit selection.
Note that the only user of the feature (Linux) is also able to handle native
interrupts fine, as the feature was already not used if Xen reported local APIC
hardware virtualization active.

Note that the user to run the bootloader as must have the right permissions to

If enabled bootloader restrict mode will attempt to re-use the user(s) from the
