xen/sndif: Sync up with the canonical definition in Xen

2018-04-17T12:26:33+00:00

This is the sync up with the canonical definition of the sound protocol in Xen: 1. Protocol version was referenced in the protocol description, but missed its definition. Fixed by adding a constant for current protocol version. 2. Some of the request descriptions have "reserved" fields missed: fixed by adding corresponding entries. 3. Extend the size of the requests and responses to 64 octets. Bump protocol version to 2. 4. Add explicit back and front synchronization In order to provide explicit synchronization between backend and frontend the following changes are introduced in the protocol: - add new ring buffer for sending asynchronous events from backend to frontend to report number of bytes played by the frontend (XENSND_EVT_CUR_POS) - introduce trigger events for playback control: start/stop/pause/resume - add "req-" prefix to event-channel and ring-ref to unify naming of the Xen event channels for requests and events 5. Add explicit back and front parameter negotiation In order to provide explicit stream parameter negotiation between backend and frontend the following changes are introduced in the protocol: add XENSND_OP_HW_PARAM_QUERY request to read/update configuration space for the parameters given: request passes desired parameter's intervals/masks and the response to this request returns allowed min/max intervals/masks to be used.

xen/pvh: Indicate XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted to Xen

2018-04-10T13:22:22+00:00

Pre-4.17 kernels ignored start_info's rsdp_paddr pointer and instead relied on finding RSDP in standard location in BIOS RO memory. This has worked since that's where Xen used to place it. However, with recent Xen change (commit 4a5733771e6f ("libxl: put RSDP for PVH guest near 4GB")) it prefers to keep RSDP at a "non-standard" address. Even though as of commit b17d9d1df3c3 ("x86/xen: Add pvh specific rsdp address retrieval function") Linux is able to find RSDP, for back-compatibility reasons we need to indicate to Xen that we can handle this, an we do so by setting XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted flag in ELF notes.

x86/xen/time: setup vcpu 0 time info page

2017-11-08T21:33:14+00:00

In order to support pvclock vdso on xen we need to setup the time info page for vcpu 0 and register the page with Xen using the VCPUOP_register_vcpu_time_memory_area hypercall. This hypercall will also forcefully update the pvti which will set some of the necessary flags for vdso. Afterwards we check if it supports the PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT flag which is mandatory for having vdso/vsyscall support. And if so, it will set the cpu 0 pvti that will be later on used when mapping the vdso image. The xen headers are also updated to include the new hypercall for registering the secondary vcpu_time_info struct.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

xen/displif: add ABI for para-virtual display

2017-05-02T09:13:09+00:00

This is the ABI for the two halves of a para-virtualized display driver. This protocol aims to provide a unified protocol which fits more sophisticated use-cases than a framebuffer device can handle. At the moment basic functionality is supported with the intention to extend: o multiple dynamically allocated/destroyed framebuffers o buffers of arbitrary sizes o better configuration options including multiple display support Note: existing fbif can be used together with displif running at the same time, e.g. on Linux one provides framebuffer and another DRM/KMS Future extensions to the existing protocol may include: o allow display/connector cloning o allow allocating objects other than display buffers o add planes/overlays support o support scaling o support rotation Note, that this protocol doesn't use ring macros for bi-directional exchange (PV calls/9pfs) bacause: o it statically defines the use of a single page for the ring buffer o it uses direct memory access to ring's contents w/o memory copying o re-uses the same idea that kbdif/fbif use which for this use-case seems to be appropriate ================================================== Rationale for introducing this protocol instead of using the existing fbif: ================================================== 1. In/out event sizes o fbif - 40 octets o displif - 40 octets This is only the initial version of the displif protocol which means that there could be requests which will not fit (WRT introducing some GPU related functionality later on). In that case we cannot alter fbif sizes as we need to be backward compatible an will be forced to handle those apart of fbif. 2. Shared page Displif doesn't use anything like struct xenfb_page, but DEFINE_RING_TYPES(xen_displif, struct xendispl_req, struct xendispl_resp) which is a better and more common way. Output events use a shared page which only has in_cons and in_prod and all the rest is used for incoming events. Here struct xenfb_page could probably be used as is despite the fact that it only has a half of a page for incoming events which is only 50 events. (consider something like 60Hz display) 3. Amount of changes. fbif only provides XENFB_TYPE_UPDATE and XENFB_TYPE_RESIZE events, so it looks like it is easier to get fb support into displif than vice versa. displif at the moment has 6 requests and 1 event, multiple connector support, etc. Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Grytsov Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Andrushchenko Acked-by: Juergen Gross Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross

xen/sndif: add sound-device ABI

2017-05-02T09:13:03+00:00

Add ABI for the two halves of a para-virtualized sound driver to communicate with each other. The ABI allows implementing audio playback and capture as well as volume control and possibility to mute/unmute audio sources. Note: depending on the use-case backend can expose more sound cards and PCM devices/streams than the underlying HW physically has by employing SW mixers, configuring virtual sound streams, channels etc. Thus, allowing fine tunned configurations per frontend.
