Commit fc087e10 (xen/events: remove unnecessary init_evtchn_cpu_bindings()) causes a regression. The kernel-side VCPU binding was not being correctly set for newly allocated or bound interdomain events. In ARM guests where 2-level events were used, this would result in no interdomain events being handled because the kernel-side VCPU masks would all be clear. x86 guests would work because the irq affinity was set during irq setup and this would set the correct kernel-side VCPU binding. Fix this by properly initializing the kernel-side VCPU binding in bind_evtchn_to_irq(). Reported-and-tested-by:

During bootup in the 'probe_page_size_mask' these CR4 flags are set in there. But for AP processors they are not set as we do not use 'secondary_startup_64' which the baremetal kernels uses. Instead do it in this function which we use in Xen PVH during our startup for AP processors. As such fix it up to make sure we have that flag set. Signed-off-by:

Current xen-selfballoon driver is too aggressive which may cause OOM be triggered more often. Eg. this bug reported by James: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/21/158 There are two mainly reasons: 1) The original goal_page didn't consider some pages used by kernel space, like slab pages and pages used by device drivers. 2) The balloon driver may not give back memory to guest OS fast enough when the workload suddenly aquries a lot of physical memory. In both cases, the guest OS will suffer from memory pressure and OOM may be triggered. The fix is make xen-selfballoon driver not that aggressive by adding extra 10% of total ram pages to goal_page. It's more valuable to keep the guest system reliable and response faster than balloon out these 10% pages to XEN. Signed-off-by:

The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by:

On ARM, address size can be 32 bits or 64 bits (if CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is enabled). We can't assume that the grant frame base address will always fits in an unsigned long. Use phys_addr_t instead of unsigned long as argument for gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames. Signed-off-by:

The use of phys_to_machine and machine_to_phys in the phys<=>bus conversions causes us to lose the top bits of the DMA address if the size of a DMA address is not the same as the size of the phyiscal address. This can happen in practice on ARM where foreign pages can be above 4GB even though the local kernel does not have LPAE page tables enabled (which is totally reasonable if the guest does not itself have >4GB of RAM). In this case the kernel still maps the foreign pages at a phys addr below 4G (as it must) but the resulting DMA address (returned by the grant map operation) is much higher. This is analogous to a hardware device which has its view of RAM mapped up high for some reason. This patch makes I/O to foreign pages (specifically blkif) work on 32-bit ARM systems with more than 4GB of RAM. Signed-off-by:

otherwise we will get for some user-space applications that use 'clone' with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID end up hitting an assert in glibc manifested by: general protection ip:7f80720d364c sp:7fff98fd8a80 error:0 in libc-2.13.so[7f807209e000+180000] This is due to the nature of said operations which sets and clears the PID. "In the successful one I can see that the page table of the parent process has been updated successfully to use a different physical page, so the write of the tid on that page only affects the child... On the other hand, in the failed case, the write seems to happen before the copy of the original page is done, so both the parent and the child end up with the same value (because the parent copies the page after the write of the child tid has already happened)." (Roger's analysis). The nature of this is due to the Xen's commit of 51e2cac257ec8b4080d89f0855c498cbbd76a5e5 "x86/pvh: set only minimal cr0 and cr4 flags in order to use paging" the CR0_WP was removed so COW features of the Linux kernel were not operating properly. While doing that also update the rest of the CR0 flags to be inline with what a baremetal Linux kernel would set them to. In 'secondary_startup_64' (baremetal Linux) sets: X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_NE | X86_CR0_WP | X86_CR0_AM | X86_CR0_PG The hypervisor for HVM type guests (which PVH is a bit) sets: X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_TS For PVH it specifically sets: X86_CR0_PG Which means we need to set the rest: X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_NE | X86_CR0_WP | X86_CR0_AM to have full parity.

There is no reasons why an HVM guest shouldn't be allowed to use xenfb. As a matter of fact ARM guests, HVM from Linux POV, can use xenfb. Given that no Xen toolstacks configure a xenfb backend for x86 HVM guests, they are not affected.

We have the framework to use v2, but there are no backends that actually use it. The end result is that on PV we use v2 grants and on PVHVM v1. The v1 has a capacity of 512 grants per page while the v2 has 256 grants per page. This means we lose about 50% capacity - and if we want more than 16 VIFs (each VIF takes 512 grants), then we are hitting the max per guest of 32.

PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities, such as running MMU updates in a HVM container. The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \. This patch allows it to be configured and enabled. We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem. Signed-off-by:

In PVH the shared grant frame is the PFN and not MFN, hence its mapped via the same code path as HVM. The allocation of the grant frame is done differently - we do not use the early platform-pci driver and have an ioremap area - instead we use balloon memory and stitch all of the non-contingous pages in a virtualized area. That means when we call the hypervisor to replace the GMFN with a XENMAPSPACE_grant_table type, we need to lookup the old PFN for every iteration instead of assuming a flat contingous PFN allocation. Lastly, we only use v1 for grants. This is because PVHVM is not able to use v2 due to no XENMEM_add_to_physmap calls on the error status page (see commit 69e8f430 xen/granttable: Disable grant v2 for HVM domains.) Until that is implemented this workaround has to be in place. Also per suggestions by Stefano utilize the PVHVM paths as they share common functionality. v2 of this patch moves most of the PVH code out in the arch/x86/xen/grant-table driver and touches only minimally the generic driver. v3, v4: fixes us some of the code due to earlier patches.

The 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' used to be an 'unsigned long' and contain the virtual address of the grants. That was OK for most architectures (PVHVM, ARM) were the grants are contiguous in memory. That however is not the case for PVH - in which case we will have to do a lookup for each virtual address for the PFN. Instead of doing that, lets make it a structure which will contain the array of PFNs, the virtual address and the count of said PFNs. Also provide a generic functions: gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames and gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames to populate said structure with appropriate values for PVHVM and ARM. To round it off, change the name from 'xen_hvm_resume_frames' to a more descriptive one - 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames'. For PVH, in patch "xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver" we will populate the 'xen_auto_xlat_grant_frames' by ourselves. v2 moves the xen_remap in the gnttab_setup_auto_xlat_frames and also introduces xen_unmap for gnttab_free_auto_xlat_frames.

We have this odd scenario of where for PV paths we take a shortcut but for the HVM paths we first ioremap xen_hvm_resume_frames, then assign it to gnttab_shared.addr. This is needed because gnttab_map uses gnttab_shared.addr. Instead of having: if (pv) return gnttab_map if (hvm) ... gnttab_map Lets move the HVM part before the gnttab_map and remove the first call to gnttab_map. Signed-off-by:

The function gnttab_max_grant_frames() returns the maximum amount of frames (pages) of grants we can have. Unfortunatly it was dependent on gnttab_init() having been run before to initialize the boot max value (boot_max_nr_grant_frames). This meant that users of gnttab_max_grant_frames would always get a zero value if they called before gnttab_init() - such as 'platform_pci_init' (drivers/xen/platform-pci.c). Signed-off-by:

PVH is a PV guest with a twist - there are certain things that work in it like HVM and some like PV. There is a similar mode - PVHVM where we run in HVM mode with PV code enabled - and this patch explores that. The most notable PV interfaces are the XenBus and event channels. We will piggyback on how the event channel mechanism is used in PVHVM - that is we want the normal native IRQ mechanism and we will install a vector (hvm callback) for which we will call the event channel mechanism. This means that from a pvops perspective, we can use native_irq_ops instead of the Xen PV specific. Albeit in the future we could support pirq_eoi_map. But that is a feature request that can be shared with PVHVM. Signed-off-by:

The VCPU bringup protocol follows the PV with certain twists. From xen/include/public/arch-x86/xen.h: Also note that when calling DOMCTL_setvcpucontext and VCPU_initialise for HVM and PVH guests, not all information in this structure is updated: - For HVM guests, the structures read include: fpu_ctxt (if VGCT_I387_VALID is set), flags, user_regs, debugreg[*] - PVH guests are the same as HVM guests, but additionally use ctrlreg[3] to set cr3. All other fields not used should be set to 0. This is what we do. We piggyback on the 'xen_setup_gdt' - but modify a bit - we need to call 'load_percpu_segment' so that 'switch_to_new_gdt' can load per-cpu data-structures. It has no effect on the VCPU0. We also piggyback on the %rdi register to pass in the CPU number - so that when we bootup a new CPU, the cpu_bringup_and_idle will have passed as the first parameter the CPU number (via %rdi for 64-bit).

During early bootup we start life using the Xen provided GDT, which means that we are running with %cs segment set to FLAT_KERNEL_CS (FLAT_RING3_CS64 0xe033, GDT index 261). But for PVH we want to be use HVM type mechanism for segment operations. As such we need to switch to the HVM one and also reload ourselves with the __KERNEL_CS:eip to run in the proper GDT and segment. For HVM this is usually done in 'secondary_startup_64' in (head_64.S) but since we are not taking that bootup path (we start in PV - xen_start_kernel) we need to do that in the early PV bootup paths. For good measure we also zero out the %fs, %ds, and %es (not strictly needed as Xen has already cleared them for us). The %gs is loaded by 'switch_to_new_gdt'. Signed-off-by:

For PVHVM the shared_info structure is provided via the same way as for normal PV guests (see include/xen/interface/xen.h). That is during bootup we get 'xen_start_info' via the %esi register in startup_xen. Then later we extract the 'shared_info' from said structure (in xen_setup_shared_info) and start using it. The 'xen_setup_shared_info' is all setup to work with auto-xlat guests, but there are two functions which it calls that are not: xen_setup_mfn_list_list and xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement. This patch modifies the P2M code (xen_setup_mfn_list_list) while the "Piggyback on PVHVM for event channels" modifies the xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement. Signed-off-by:

.. which are surprisingly small compared to the amount for PV code. PVH uses mostly native mmu ops, we leave the generic (native_*) for the majority and just overwrite the baremetal with the ones we need. At startup, we are running with pre-allocated page-tables courtesy of the tool-stack. But we still need to graft them in the Linux initial pagetables. However there is no need to unpin/pin and change them to R/O or R/W. Note that the xen_pagetable_init due to 7836fec9d0994cc9c9150c5a33f0eb0eb08a335a "xen/mmu/p2m: Refactor the xen_pagetable_init code." does not need any changes - we just need to make sure that xen_post_allocator_init does not alter the pvops from the default native one.

P2M is not available for PVH. Fortunatly for us the P2M code already has mostly the support for auto-xlat guest thanks to commit 3d24bbd7 "grant-table: call set_phys_to_machine after mapping grant refs" which: " introduces set_phys_to_machine calls for auto_translated guests (even on x86) in gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs. translated by swiotlb-xen... " so we don't need to muck much. with above mentioned "commit you'll get set_phys_to_machine calls from gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs but PVH guests won't do anything with them " (Stefano Stabellini) which is OK - we want them to be NOPs. This is because we assume that an "IOMMU is always present on the plaform and Xen is going to make the appropriate IOMMU pagetable changes in the hypercall implementation of GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref and GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref, then eveything should be transparent from PVH priviligied point of view and DMA transfers involving foreign pages keep working with no issues[sp] Otherwise we would need a P2M (and an M2P) for PVH priviligied to track these foreign pages .. (see arch/arm/xen/p2m.c)." (Stefano Stabellini). We still have to inhibit the building of the P2M tree. That had been done in the past by not calling xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine (which setups the P2M tree and gives us virtual address to access them). But we are missing a check for xen_build_mfn_list_list - which was continuing to setup the P2M tree and would blow up at trying to get the virtual address of p2m_missing (which would have been setup by xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine). Hence a check is needed to not call xen_build_mfn_list_list when running in auto-xlat mode. Instead of replicating the check for auto-xlat in enlighten.c do it in the p2m.c code. The reason is that the xen_build_mfn_list_list is called also in xen_arch_post_suspend without any checks for auto-xlat. So for PVH or PV with auto-xlat - we would needlessly allocate space for an P2M tree. Signed-off-by:

We don't use the filtering that 'xen_cpuid' is doing because the hypervisor treats 'XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX' as an invalid instruction. This means that all of the filtering will have to be done in the hypervisor/toolstack. Without the filtering we expose to the guest the: - cpu topology (sockets, cores, etc); - the APERF (which the generic scheduler likes to use), see 5e626254 "xen/setup: filter APERFMPERF cpuid feature out" - and the inability to figure out whether MWAIT_LEAF should be exposed or not. See df88b2d9 "xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded." - x2apic, see 4ea9b9ac "xen: mask x2APIC feature in PV" We also check for vector callback early on, as it is a required feature.

However, we do have a fair bit of filtering in the xen_cpuid and we can piggyback on that until the hypervisor/toolstack filters the appropiate cpuids. Once that is done we can swap over to use the native one. We setup a Kconfig entry that is disabled by default and cannot be enabled. Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM. It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM compilations. Signed-off-by:

Most of the functions in page.h are prefaced with if (xen_feature(XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap)) return mfn; Except the mfn_to_local_pfn. At a first sight, the function should work without this patch - as the 'mfn_to_mfn' has a similar check. But there are no such check in the 'get_phys_to_machine' function - so we would crash in there. This fixes it by following the convention of having the check for auto-xlat in these static functions.
