The original debugfs only dumps all IOMMU page tables without pasid
supported. It traverses all devices on the pci bus, then dumps all page
tables based on device domains. This traversal is from software
perspective.

This series dumps page tables by traversing root tables, context tables,
pasid directories and pasid tables from hardware perspective. By
specifying source identifier and PASID, it supports dumping specified
page table or all page tables in legacy mode or scalable mode.

For a device that only supports legacy mode, specify the source
identifier, and search the root table and context table to dump its
page table. It does not support to specify PASID.

For a device that supports scalable mode, specify a
{source identifier, PASID} pair and search the root table, context table
and pasid table to dump its page table.  If the pasid is not specified,
it is set to RID_PASID.

Switch to dump all page tables by specifying "auto".

Examples are as follows:
1) Dump the page table of device "00:1f.0" that only supports legacy
mode.

$ sudo echo 00:1f.0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/domain_translation_struct
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/domain_translation_struct

[...]

2) Dump the page table of device "00:0a.0" with pasid "2".

$ sudo echo 00:0a.0,2 >
/sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/domain_translation_struct
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/domain_translation_struct
What about creating a directory layout per {dev, pasid} so the user can
easily figure out and dump?

e.g.

/sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/00:0a.0/0/domain_translation_struct
/sys/kernel/debug/iommu/intel/00:0a.0/2/domain_translation_struct
Thanks.

Do you mean create a directory for each device, whether it supports
PASID or not ?
every device has PASID#0 valid, i.e. RID2PASID.
Sorry for the late response.
Got it. Thanks.
Seems the PASID can be assigned at runtime.
So it needs to support creating debugfs file at runtime in IOMMU driver.
Looks like this requires modifying IOMMU driver.

Isn't this patch trying to modify the driver?
I just tried not to modify the driver except debugfs.
I'll try this implementation.

I'd second Kevin's suggestion.

If you check how usb xhci dumps its contexts for devices, you can see
the similar scheme.

# ls /sys/kernel/debug/usb/xhci/0000:00:14.0/devices
01 02 03 04 05

In our case, pasid 0 is special which denotes the domain attached to the
RID.
