2014-07-19xen: Put EFI machinery in placeDaniel Kiper1-0/+3
This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. Standard EFI Linux Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0. When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine. If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled. Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem initialization taking into account that there is no direct access to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that system runs as usual. This patch is based on Jan Beulich and Tang Liang work.

This patch create a file (xen-stub.c) for Xen stub drivers. Xen stub drivers are used to reserve space for Xen drivers, i.e. memory hotplug and cpu hotplug, and to block native drivers loaded, so that real Xen drivers can be modular and loaded on demand. This patch is specific for Xen memory hotplug (other Xen logic can add stub drivers on their own). The xen stub driver will occupied earlier via subsys_initcall (than native memory hotplug driver via module_init and so blocking native).

PAD is acpi Processor Aggregator Device which provides a control point that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration and control that applies to all processors in the platform. This patch is to implement Xen acpi pad logic. When running under Xen virt platform, native pad driver would not work. Instead Xen pad driver, a self-contained and thin logic level, would take over acpi pad logic. When acpi pad notify OSPM, xen pad logic intercept and parse _PUR object to get the expected idle cpu number, and then hypercall to hypervisor. Xen hypervisor would then do the rest work, say, core parking, to idle specific number of cpus on its own policy.

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op() and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one, copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could discard that change). Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Features: * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure.

2012-09-18USB EHCI/Xen: propagate controller reset information to hypervisorJan Beulich1-1/+1
Just like for the in-tree early console debug port driver, the hypervisor - when using a debug port based console - also needs to be told about controller resets, so it can suppress using and then re-initialize the debug port accordingly. Other than the in-tree driver, the hypervisor driver actually cares about doing this only for the device where the debug is port actually in use, i.e. it needs to be told the coordinates of the device being reset (quite obviously, leveraging the addition done for that would likely benefit the in-tree driver too).

2012-03-14xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-1/+1
This driver solves three problems: 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data). 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data). 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading. The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states. Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states transitions. For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm() to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded. Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle) and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element. Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading. There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count. Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

2011-07-20xen/pciback: xen pci backend driver.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+1
This is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs. The PV protocol is rather simple. There is page shared with the guest, which has the 'struct xen_pci_sharedinfo' embossed in it. The backend has a thread that is kicked every-time the structure is changed and based on the operation field it performs specific tasks: XEN_PCI_OP_conf_[read|write]: Read/Write 0xCF8/0xCFC filtered data. (conf_space*.c) Based on which field is probed, we either enable/disable the PCI device, change power state, read VPD, etc. The major goal of this call is to provide a Physical IRQ (PIRQ) to the guest. The PIRQ is Xen hypervisor global IRQ value irrespective of the IRQ is tied in to the IO-APIC, or is a vector. For GSI type interrupts, the PIRQ==GSI holds. For MSI/MSI-X the PIRQ value != Linux IRQ number (thought PIRQ==vector). Please note, that with Xen, all interrupts (except those level shared ones) are injected directly to the guest - there is no host interaction. XEN_PCI_OP_[enable|disable]_msi[|x] (pciback_ops.c) Enables/disables the MSI/MSI-X capability of the device. These operations setup the MSI/MSI-X vectors for the guest and pass them to the frontend. When the device is activated, the interrupts are directly injected in the guest without involving the host. XEN_PCI_OP_aer_[detected|resume|mmio|slotreset]: In case of failure, perform the appropriate AER commands on the guest. Right now that is a cop-out - we just kill the guest. Besides implementing those commands, it can also - hide a PCI device from the host. When booting up, the user can specify xen-pciback.hide=(1:0:0)(BDF..) so that host does not try to use the device. The driver was lifted from linux-2.6.18.hg tree and fixed up so that it could compile under v3.0. Per suggestion from Jesse Barnes moved the driver to drivers/xen/xen-pciback.

2011-07-08xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinkingDan Magenheimer1-0/+1
This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory ("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization. Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine. Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap, driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs. More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem). Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages, and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency, full save/restore and live migration support, compression and deduplication.

The basic functionality of ballooning pages is useful for Xen drivers in general. Rather than require a dependency on the balloon module, split the functionality that is reused into the core. The balloon module is still required to follow ballooning requests from xenstore or to view balloon statistics in sysfs.

Impact: allow Xen control of bio merging When running in Xen domain with device access, we need to make sure the block subsystem doesn't merge requests across pages which aren't machine physically contiguous. To do this, we define our own BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE. When CONFIG_XEN isn't enabled, or we're not running in a Xen domain, this has identical behaviour to the normal implementation. When running under Xen, we also make sure the underlying machine pages are the same or adjacent.

2010-07-27swiotlb-xen: SWIOTLB library for Xen PV guest with PCI passthrough.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-1/+2
This patchset: PV guests under Xen are running in an non-contiguous memory architecture. When PCI pass-through is utilized, this necessitates an IOMMU for translating bus (DMA) to virtual and vice-versa and also providing a mechanism to have contiguous pages for device drivers operations (say DMA operations). Specifically, under Xen the Linux idea of pages is an illusion. It assumes that pages start at zero and go up to the available memory. To help with that, the Linux Xen MMU provides a lookup mechanism to translate the page frame numbers (PFN) to machine frame numbers (MFN) and vice-versa. The MFN are the "real" frame numbers. Furthermore memory is not contiguous. Xen hypervisor stitches memory for guests from different pools, which means there is no guarantee that PFN==MFN and PFN+1==MFN+1. Lastly with Xen 4.0, pages (in debug mode) are allocated in descending order (high to low), meaning the guest might never get any MFN's under the 4GB mark.

2010-07-23xen: Xen PCI platform device driver.Stefano Stabellini1-1/+2
Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode. Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed initialization in HVM mode. Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode. The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0. The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests. When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning. For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some event channel deliveries.

2009-09-10xen: make -fstack-protector work under XenJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+3
-fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value. gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun. On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited.
