2011-11-21xen/event: Add reference counting to event channelsDaniel De Graaf1-0/+7
Event channels exposed to userspace by the evtchn module may be used by other modules in an asynchronous manner, which requires that reference counting be used to prevent the event channel from being closed before the signals are delivered. The reference count on new event channels defaults to -1 which indicates the event channel is not referenced outside the kernel; evtchn_get fails if called on such an event channel. The event channels made visible to userspace by evtchn have a normal reference count.

2011-07-11xen/pci: Remove 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi'.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-2/+0
In the past (2.6.38) the 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' would allocate an entry in a Linux IRQ -> {XEN_IRQ, type, event, ..} array. All of that has been removed in 2.6.39 and the Xen IRQ subsystem uses an linked list that is populated when the call to 'xen_allocate_irq_gsi' (universally done from any of the xen_bind_* calls) is done. The 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' is a NOP and there is no need for it anymore so lets remove it. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

We need this to find the real Xen PIRQ value for a device that requests an MSI or MSI-X. In the past we used 'xen_gsi_from_irq' since that function would return an Xen PIRQ or GSI depending on the provided IRQ. Now that we have seperated that we need to use the correct function.

2010-12-02xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guestsStefano Stabellini1-1/+6
When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible for doing the actual mapping and unmapping. We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI. This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would try to assign a new pirq anyway. A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the device.

2010-10-18xen: fix shared irq device passthroughKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-1/+1
In driver/xen/events.c, whether bind_pirq is shareable or not is determined by desc->action is NULL or not. But in __setup_irq, startup(irq) is invoked before desc->action is assigned with new action. So desc->action in startup_irq is always NULL, and bind_pirq is always not shareable. This results in pt_irq_create_bind failure when passthrough a device which shares irq to other devices. This patch doesn't use probing_irq to determine if pirq is shareable or not, instead set shareable flag in irq_info according to trigger mode in xen_allocate_pirq. Set level triggered interrupts shareable. Thus use this flag to set bind_pirq flag accordingly.

2010-10-18xen: implement pirq type event channelsJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+11
A privileged PV Xen domain can get direct access to hardware. In order for this to be useful, it must be able to get hardware interrupts. Being a PV Xen domain, all interrupts are delivered as event channels. PIRQ event channels are bound to a pirq number and an interrupt vector. When a IO APIC raises a hardware interrupt on that vector, it is delivered as an event channel, which we can deliver to the appropriate device driver(s). This patch simply implements the infrastructure for dealing with pirq event channels.

2008-08-21xen: save previous spinlock when blockingJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+2
A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an interrupt handler. We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually blocking. If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block indefinitely in the hypervisor. This fix is to make sure that any nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any chance the outer lock became free.

2008-07-16xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocksJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+7
The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the spinlock. This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more efficient. The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single lock byte. The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then they have the lock. If the lock is negative, then locker must spin until the lock is positive again. When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting to get the lock. If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu event channel. When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count. If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners" variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on. It picks one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up. This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a contended lock. [*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from Spinning Around". Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow paths will only be entered 2% of the time.

2008-05-27xen: implement save/restoreJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+3
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.

2007-07-18xen: SMP guest supportJeremy Fitzhardinge1-4/+23
This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops. Xen has its own IPI mechanisms, and has no dependency on any APIC-based IPI. The smp_ops hooks and the flush_tlb_others pv_op allow a Xen guest to avoid all APIC code in arch/i386 (the only apic operation is a single apic_read for the apic version number). One subtle point which needs to be addressed is unpinning pagetables when another cpu may have a lazy tlb reference to the pagetable. Xen will not allow an in-use pagetable to be unpinned, so we must find any other cpus with a reference to the pagetable and get them to shoot down their references.

2007-07-18xen: event channelsJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+28
Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels. Each guest domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events, inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs. Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip. Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and IRQs. Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between event channels and irqs.
