On a system influenced by ERRATA_772415, IOMMU_HW_INFO_VTD_ERRATA_772415_SPR17 is repored by IOMMU_DEVICE_GET_HW_INFO. Due to this errata, even the readonly range mapped on second stage page table could still be written. Reference from 4th Gen Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family Specification Update, Errata Details, SPR17. Link https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products-and-solutions/processors-and-chipsets/eagle-stream/sapphire-rapids-specification-update/ Backup https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/772415 Also copied the SPR17 details from above link: "Problem: When remapping hardware is configured by system software in scalable mode as Nested (PGTT=011b) and with PWSNP field Set in the PASID-table-entry, it may Set Accessed bit and Dirty bit (and Extended Access bit if enabled) in first-stage page-table entries even when second-stage mappings indicate that corresponding first-stage page-table is Read-Only. Implication: Due to this erratum, pages mapped as Read-only in second-stage page-tables may be modified by remapping hardware Access/Dirty bit updates. Workaround: None identified. System software enabling nested translations for a VM should ensure that there are no read-only pages in the corresponding second-stage mappings." Introduce a helper vfio_device_get_host_iommu_quirk_bypass_ro to check if readonly mappings should be bypassed.
