x86/PCI: Add "pci=big_root_window" option for AMD 64-bit windows
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Only try to enable a 64-bit window on AMD CPUs when "pci=big_root_window"
is specified.

This taints the kernel because the new 64-bit window uses address space we
don't know anything about, and it may contain unreported devices or memory
that would conflict with the window.

The pci_amd_enable_64bit_bar() quirk that enables the window is specific to
AMD CPUs.  The generic solution would be to have the firmware enable the
window and describe it in the host bridge's _CRS method, or at least
describe it in the _PRS method so the OS would have the option of enabling
it.

pcie_scan_all Scan all possible PCIe devices. Otherwise we
only look for one device below a PCIe downstream

big_root_window Try to add a big 64bit memory window to the PCIe
root complex on AMD CPUs. Some GFX hardware
can resize a BAR to allow access to all VRAM.
Adding the window is slightly risky (it may
conflict with unreported devices), so this
taints the kernel.
