xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

xen/boot: Disable NUMA for PV guests. The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those patches are not yet present. In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says: "we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA). This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see. This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class) We have this dump then: NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10 Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24 Number of physical nodes 4 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 0000000040000000 Node 1 MemBase 0000000040000000 Limit 0000000138000000 Node 2 MemBase 0000000138000000 Limit 00000001f8000000 Node 3 MemBase 00000001f8000000 Limit 0000000238000000 Initmem setup node 0 0000000000000000-0000000040000000 NODE_DATA [000000003ffd9000 - 000000003fffffff] Initmem setup node 1 0000000040000000-0000000138000000 NODE_DATA [0000000137fd9000 - 0000000137ffffff] Initmem setup node 2 0000000138000000-00000001f8000000 NODE_DATA [00000001f095e000 - 00000001f0984fff] Initmem setup node 3 00000001f8000000-0000000238000000 Cannot find 159744 bytes in node 3 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.3.6 #1 AMD Dinar/Dinar RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81d220e6>] [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 .. snip..

xen: add configurable max domain size Add a config option to set the max size of a Xen domain. This is used to scale the size of the physical-to-machine array; it ends up using around 1 page/GByte, so there's no reason to be very restrictive.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor.

xen: disable vdso "nosegneg" on native boot One of the nice ideas behind paravirt is that CONFIG_XEN=y can be included in a standard configuration and be no worse for native booting than as a Xen guest. The glibc feature that supports the vDSO "nosegneg" note is designed specifically to make this easy. You just have to flip one bit at boot time.

xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME - pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN - pv_cpu_ops.iret). That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use the hypervisor iret. The other changes that would be neccessary for this would be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different events. Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903639fcfaec213701a494fe3fb2c490b (xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right vector value for NMI. With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested x86_64). For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain) we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking of X86_FEATURE_APIC. Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround. Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch does not enable that.

xen/balloon: account for pages released during memory setup In xen_memory_setup() pages that occur in gaps in the memory map are released back to Xen. This reduces the domain's current page count in the hypervisor. The Xen balloon driver does not correctly decrease its initial current_pages count to reflect this. If 'delta' pages are released and the target is adjusted the resulting reservation is always 'delta' less than the requested target. This affects dom0 if the initial allocation of pages overlaps the PCI memory region but won't affect most domU guests that have been setup with pseudo-physical memory maps that don't have gaps. Fix this by accouting for the released pages when starting the balloon driver. If the domain's targets are managed by xapi, the domain may eventually run out of memory and die because xapi currently gets its target calculations wrong and whenever it is restarted it always reduces the target by 'delta'.

With this patch, we diligently set regions that will be used by the balloon driver to be INVALID_P2M_ENTRY and under the ownership of the balloon driver. We are OK using the __set_phys_to_machine as we do not expect to be allocating any P2M middle or entries pages. The set_phys_to_machine has the side-effect of potentially allocating new pages and we do not want that at this stage. We can do this because xen_build_mfn_list_list will have already allocated all such pages up to xen_max_p2m_pfn. We also move the check for auto translated physmap down the stack so it is present in __set_phys_to_machine.

xen: implement "extra" memory to reserve space for pages not present at boot When using the e820 map to get the initial pseudo-physical address space, look for either Xen-provided memory which doesn't lie within an E820 region, or an E820 RAM region which extends beyond the Xen-provided memory range. Count these pages, and add them to a new "extra memory" range. This range has an E820 RAM range to describe it - so the kernel will allocate page structures for it - but it is also marked reserved so that the kernel will not attempt to use it. The balloon driver can then add this range as a set of currently ballooned-out pages, which can be used to extend the domain beyond its original size.

xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM When the Xen hypervisor boots a PV kernel it hands it two pieces of information: nr_pages and a made up E820 entry. The nr_pages value defines the range from zero to nr_pages of PFNs which have a valid Machine Frame Number (MFN) underneath it. The E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole): BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable) The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820 looks like the normal thing: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable) Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS) .. With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages. On a 8GB machine, with various dom0_mem= parameters this is what we get: no dom0_mem -Memory: 6485264k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 1813812k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 7619036k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 680040k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) dom0_mem=3G -Memory: 2616536k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 5682540k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 2703776k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 5595300k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) dom0_mem=max:3G -Memory: 2696732k/4281724k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 448932k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 2702204k/4281724k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 443460k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) And the 'xm list' or 'xl list' now reflect what the dom0_mem= argument is.

The E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole): BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable) The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820 looks like the normal thing: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable) Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS) .. With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages. On a 8GB machine, with various dom0_mem= parameters this is what we get: no dom0_mem -Memory: 6485264k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 1813812k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 7619036k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 680040k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) dom0_mem=3G -Memory: 2616536k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 5682540k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 2703776k/9435136k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 5595300k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) dom0_mem=max:3G -Memory: 2696732k/4281724k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 448932k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) +Memory: 2702204k/4281724k available (5817k kernel code, 1136060k absent, 443460k reserved, 2899k data, 696k init) And the 'xm list' or 'xl list' now reflect what the dom0_mem= argument is.

The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall.

xen/setup: update VA mapping when releasing memory during setup In xen_memory_setup(), if a page that is being released has a VA mapping this must also be updated. Otherwise, the page will be not released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being reallocated at a different PFN. This was already being done for the ISA memory region in xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as reserved in the e820 map. This fixes errors such as: (XEN) page_alloc.c:1148:d0 Over-allocation for domain 0: 2097153 > 2097152 (XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (0 of 17) Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages.

xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM When the Xen hypervisor boots a PV kernel it hands it two pieces of information: nr_pages and a made up E820 entry. The nr_pages value defines the range from zero to nr_pages of PFNs which have a valid Machine Frame Number (MFN) underneath it. The E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole): BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable) The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820 looks like the normal thing: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable) Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS) .. With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages.

Otherwise, the page will be not released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being reallocated at a different PFN. This was already being done for the ISA memory region in xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as reserved in the e820 map. This fixes errors such as: (XEN) page_alloc.c:1148:d0 Over-allocation for domain 0: 2097153 > 2097152 (XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (0 of 17) Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

xen: release all pages within 1-1 p2m mappings In xen_memory_setup() all reserved regions and gaps are set to an identity (1-1) p2m mapping. If an available page has a PFN within one of these 1-1 mappings it will become inaccessible (as it MFN is lost) so release them before setting up the mapping. This can make an additional 256 MiB or more of RAM available (depending on the size of the reserved regions in the memory map) if the initial pages overlap with reserved regions. The 1:1 p2m mappings are also extended to cover partial pages. This fixes an issue with (for example) systems with a BIOS that puts the DMI tables in a reserved region that begins on a non-page boundary.

xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the total RAM). On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the kernel reports: Before: Memory: 627792k/4472000k available After: Memory: 549740k/11132224k available A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB).

xen: only limit memory map to maximum reservation for domain 0. d312ae878b6a "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" clamped the total amount of RAM to the current maximum reservation. This is correct for dom0 but is not correct for guest domains. In order to boot a guest "pre-ballooned" (e.g. with memory=1G but maxmem=2G) in order to allow for future memory expansion the guest must derive max_pfn from the e820 provided by the toolstack and not the current maximum reservation (which can reflect only the current maximum, not the guest lifetime max). The existing algorithm already behaves this correctly if we do not artificially limit the maximum number of pages for the guest case.

xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the total RAM). On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the kernel reports: Before: Memory: 627792k/4472000k available After: Memory: 549740k/11132224k available A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB). The reserved low memory is also reduced from 253 MiB to 32 MiB. The total additional usable RAM is 329 MiB.

x86/xen: do not identity map UNUSABLE regions in the machine E820 If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel will crash. There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0 kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and treat it as RAM. We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up. A PV domU could have an UNUSABLE region in its pseudo-physical map and would need to be handled in another patch. This fixes a boot failure on hosts with tboot. tboot marks a region in the e820 map as unusable and the dom0 kernel would attempt to map this region and Xen does not permit unusable regions to be mapped by guests.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM When the Xen hypervisor boots a PV kernel it hands it two pieces of information: nr_pages and a made up E820 entry. The nr_pages value defines the range from zero to nr_pages of PFNs which have a valid Machine Frame Number (MFN) underneath it. The E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole): BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable) The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820 looks like the normal thing: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable) Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS) .. With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages.

xen: implement "extra" memory to reserve space for pages not present at boot When using the e820 map to get the initial pseudo-physical address space, look for either Xen-provided memory which doesn't lie within an E820 region, or an E820 RAM region which extends beyond the Xen-provided memory range. Count these pages, and add them to a new "extra memory" range. This range has an E820 RAM range to describe it - so the kernel will allocate page structures for it - but it is also marked reserved so that the kernel will not attempt to use it. The balloon driver can then add this range as a set of currently ballooned-out pages, which can be used to extend the domain beyond its original size.

xen/setup: Populate freed MFNs from non-RAM E820 entries and gaps to E820 RAM When the Xen hypervisor boots a PV kernel it hands it two pieces of information: nr_pages and a made up E820 entry. The nr_pages value defines the range from zero to nr_pages of PFNs which have a valid Machine Frame Number (MFN) underneath it. The E820 mirrors that (with the VGA hole): BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) Xen: 00000000000a0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000080800000 (usable) The fun comes when a PV guest that is run with a machine E820 - that can either be the initial domain or a PCI PV guest, where the E820 looks like the normal thing: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) Xen: 000000000009ec00 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000020000000 - 0000000020200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000020200000 - 0000000040000000 (usable) Xen: 0000000040000000 - 0000000040200000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000040200000 - 00000000bad80000 (usable) Xen: 00000000bad80000 - 00000000badc9000 (ACPI NVS) .. With that overlaying the nr_pages directly on the E820 does not work as there are gaps and non-RAM regions that won't be used by the memory allocator. The 'xen_release_chunk' helps with that by punching holes in the P2M (PFN to MFN lookup tree) for those regions and tells us that: Freeing 20000-20200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing 40000-40200 pfn range: 512 pages freed Freeing bad80-badf4 pfn range: 116 pages freed Freeing badf6-bae7f pfn range: 137 pages freed Freeing bb000-100000 pfn range: 282624 pages freed Released 283999 pages of unused memory Those 283999 pages are subtracted from the nr_pages and are returned to the hypervisor. The end result is that the initial domain boots with 1GB less memory as the nr_pages has been subtracted by the amount of pages residing within the PCI hole. It can balloon up to that if desired using 'xl mem-set 0 8092', but the balloon driver is not always compiled in for the initial domain. This patch, implements the populate hypercall (XENMEM_populate_physmap) which increases the the domain with the same amount of pages that were released. The other solution (that did not work) was to transplant the MFN in the P2M tree - the ones that were going to be freed were put in the E820_RAM regions past the nr_pages. But the modifications to the M2P array (the other side of creating PTEs) were not carried away. As the hypervisor is the only one capable of modifying that and the only two hypercalls that would do this are: the update_va_mapping (which won't work, as during initial bootup only PFNs up to nr_pages are mapped in the guest) or via the populate hypercall. The end result is that the kernel can now boot with the nr_pages without having to subtract the 283999 pages.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

When reading xen/include/public/xen.h's comment very strictly, this is not a violation (since there nothing is said that the first thing in the page table space is pointed to by pt_base; I admit that this seems to be implied though, namely do I think that it is implied that the page table space is the range [pt_base, pt_base + nt_pt_frames), whereas that range here indeed is [pt_base - 2, pt_base - 2 + nt_pt_frames), which - without a priori knowledge - the kernel would have difficulty to figure out)." - so lets just fall back to the easy way and reserve the whole region.

memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range() with generic ones Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic versions - memblock_reserve/free(). This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them. arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty after this change and removed.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

void xen_enable_nmi(void)
xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME - pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN - pv_cpu_ops.iret). That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use the hypervisor iret. The other changes that would be neccessary for this would be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different events. Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903639fcfaec213701a494fe3fb2c490b (xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right vector value for NMI. With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested x86_64). For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain) we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking of X86_FEATURE_APIC. Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround. Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch does not enable that.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one.

xen: Core Xen implementation This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.)

xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME - pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN - pv_cpu_ops.iret). That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use the hypervisor iret. The other changes that would be neccessary for this would be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different events. Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903639fcfaec213701a494fe3fb2c490b (xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right vector value for NMI. With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested x86_64). For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain) we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking of X86_FEATURE_APIC. Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround. Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch does not enable that.

xen/boot: Disable NUMA for PV guests. The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those patches are not yet present. In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says: "we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA). This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see. This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class) We have this dump then: NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10 Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24 Number of physical nodes 4 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 0000000040000000 Node 1 MemBase 0000000040000000 Limit 0000000138000000 Node 2 MemBase 0000000138000000 Limit 00000001f8000000 Node 3 MemBase 00000001f8000000 Limit 0000000238000000 Initmem setup node 0 0000000000000000-0000000040000000 NODE_DATA [000000003ffd9000 - 000000003fffffff] Initmem setup node 1 0000000040000000-0000000138000000 NODE_DATA [0000000137fd9000 - 0000000137ffffff] Initmem setup node 2 0000000138000000-00000001f8000000 NODE_DATA [00000001f095e000 - 00000001f0984fff] Initmem setup node 3 00000001f8000000-0000000238000000 Cannot find 159744 bytes in node 3 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.3.6 #1 AMD Dinar/Dinar RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81d220e6>] [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 .. snip..
