2011-11-22xen/granttable: Grant tables V2 implementationAnnie Li1-4/+167
Receiver-side copying of packets is based on this implementation, it gives better performance and better CPU accounting. It totally supports three types: full-page, sub-page and transitive grants. However this patch does not cover sub-page and transitive grants, it mainly focus on Full-page part and implements grant table V2 interfaces corresponding to what already exists in grant table V1, such as: grant table V2 initialization, mapping, releasing and exported interfaces. Each guest can only supports one type of grant table type, every entry in grant table should be the same version. It is necessary to set V1 or V2 version before initializing the grant table. Grant table exported interfaces of V2 are same with those of V1, Xen is responsible to judge what grant table version guests are using in every grant operation. V2 fulfills the same role of V1, and it is totally backwards compitable with V1. If dom0 support grant table V2, the guests runing on it can run with either V1 or V2.

2011-09-29xen: modify kernel mappings corresponding to granted pagesStefano Stabellini1-3/+3
If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the kernel mappings accordingly. Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping. However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage. In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated the pages lowmem. We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override. Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching. Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done. Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be set correctly.

2011-04-18xen/p2m/m2p/gnttab: Support GNTMAP_host_map in the M2P override.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-7/+24
We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update" If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is "contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table (specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor being upset with us: (XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067 (XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067 (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228 x86_64 debug=y Not tainted ]---- and crashing us. This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set. On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter. Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag. [v1: Added documentation details, made it return -EOPNOTSUPP instead of trying to do a half-way implementation] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2011-03-09xen/p2m/m2p/gnttab: do not add failed grant maps to m2p overrideIan Campbell1-0/+4
The caller will not undo a mapping which failed and therefore the override will not be removed. This is especially bad in the case of GNTMAP_contains_pte mapping type mappings where m2p_add_override will destroy the kernel mapping of the page. This was observed via a failure of map_grant_pages in gntdev_mmap (due to userspace using a bad grant reference), which left the page in question unmapped (because it was a GNTMAP_contains_pte mapping) which led to a crash later on.

2011-02-14xen-gntdev: Support mapping in HVM domainsDaniel De Graaf1-0/+6
HVM does not allow direct PTE modification, so instead we request that Xen change its internal p2m mappings on the allocated pages and map the memory into userspace normally. Note: The HVM path for map and unmap is slightly different: HVM keeps the pages mapped until the area is deleted, while the PV case (use_ptemod being true) must unmap them when userspace unmaps the range. In the normal use case, this makes no difference to users since unmap time is deletion time.

2011-01-11xen p2m: clear the old pte when adding a page to m2p_overrideJeremy Fitzhardinge1-3/+13
When adding a page to m2p_override we change the p2m of the page so we need to also clear the old pte of the kernel linear mapping because it doesn't correspond anymore. When we remove the page from m2p_override we restore the original p2m of the page and we also restore the old pte of the kernel linear mapping. Before changing the p2m mappings in m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override, check that the page passed as argument is valid and return an error if it is not.

2010-07-22xen: Xen PCI platform device driver.Stefano Stabellini1-10/+67
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.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2008-05-27xen: implement save/restoreJeremy Fitzhardinge1-2/+2
This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration. Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel prepares itself for saving by: 1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary. 2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices 3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0. 4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally 5 - Suspend the domain Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all the frozen processes are thawed.

Xen/x86 grant table is based on virtual address so that alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are suitable. On the other hand Xen/ia64 (and Xen/powerpc) grant table is based on pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that allocation should be done differently. The original version of xenified Linux/IA64 have its own allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area() definitions which don't allocate vm area contradictory to those names. Now vanilla Linux already has its definitions so that it's impossible to have IA64 definitions of allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area().

2008-04-04xen: fix grant table bugMichael Abd-El-Malek1-6/+10
fix memory corruption and crash due to mis-sized grant table. A PV OS has two grant table data structures: the grant table itself and a free list. The free list is composed of an array of pages, which grow dynamically as the guest OS requires more grants. While the grant table contains 8-byte entries, the free list contains 4-byte entries. So we have half as many pages in the free list than in the grant table. There was a bug in the free list allocation code. The free list was indexed as if it was the same size as the grant table. But it's only half as large. So memory got corrupted, and I was seeing crashes in the slab allocator later on.
