lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and
things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP
performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag
and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable.
These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes
patch space, so we drop that code.
Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious
effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was
faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and
hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest!
Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any
measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment.

When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting
that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us.
But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race.
So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and
try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the
"break_out" flag before calling schedule.

Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)'
vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2a1
'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls
to trap 31.
The Launcher mmaps the kernel image. The Guest executes and
immediately faults in the first text page (read-only). Then it hits a
hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write.
But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again,
but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault
back to the Guest. The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it.
This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the

Impact: remove unused/broken code
The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.
So remove this inactive code for now.

I am able to reproduce the oops reported by Simon in __switch_to() with
lguest.
My debug showed that there is at least one lguest specific
issue (which should be present in 2.6.25 and before aswell) and it got
exposed with a kernel oops with the recent fpu dynamic allocation patches.
In addition to the previous possible scenario (with fpu_counter), in the
presence of lguest, it is possible that the cpu's TS bit it still set and the
lguest launcher task's thread_info has TS_USEDFPU still set.
This is because of the way the lguest launcher handling the guest's TS bit.
(look at lguest_set_ts() in lguest_arch_run_guest()). This can result
in a DNA fault while doing unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). This will
end up causing a DNA fault in the context of new process thats
getting context switched in (as opossed to handling DNA fault in the context
of lguest launcher/helper process).
This is wrong in both pre and post 2.6.25 kernels. In the recent
2.6.26-rc series, this is showing up as NULL pointer dereferences or
sleeping function called from atomic context(__switch_to()), as
we free and dynamically allocate the FPU context for the newly
created threads. Older kernels might show some FPU corruption for processes
running inside of lguest.
With the appended patch, my test system is running for more than 50 mins
now. So atleast some of your oops (hopefully all!) should get fixed.
Please give it a try. I will spend more time with this fix tomorrow.

Anthony Liguori points out that three different transports use the virtio code,
but each one keeps its own counter to set the virtio_device's index field. In
theory (though not in current practice) this means that names could be
duplicated, and that risk grows as more transports are created.
So we move the selection of the unique virtio_device.index into the common code
in virtio.c, which has the side-benefit of removing duplicate code.
The only complexity is that lguest and S/390 use the index to uniquely identify
the device in case of catastrophic failure before register_virtio_device() is
called: now we use the offset within the descriptor page as a unique identifier
for the printks.

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.
So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.
API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.
The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).
Commit 37cc8d7f96 introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.
The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

this patch changes do_hcall() and do_async_hcall() interfaces (and obviously their

This patch makes the run_guest() routine use the lg_cpu struct.
This is required since in a smp guest environment, there's no
more the notion of "running the guest", but rather, it is "running the vcpu"

Currently, lguest module can't be compiled without the PARAVIRT flag being
on. This is a fake dependency, since the module itself shouldn't need any
paravirt override. Reason for that is the reference to pv_info structure
in initial loading tests.
This patch removes it in favour of a more generic error message.

Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
refcount semantics in these operations.
The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.
In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
cpu_present_map there.

There's currently no way to turn on Lguest guest support; the planned
Kconfig virtualization reorg didn't get into 2.6.25.
This was unnoticed because if you already had CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y in
your config, it worked. Too bad about new users...
Also, the Kconfig help was wrong now the virtio drivers are merged.

The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although
noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already
needed for module unloading.
This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest
unloading paths.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though
it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to
generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32.
This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially
regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but
I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on
all platforms.

This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices.
We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable
length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and
implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data.
We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host
virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the
host when it changes.
We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early
console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works
quite well.

This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and
replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an
address.
The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest
I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support.

1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.
2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.
3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.
4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.
5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).
6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
hypercall give us that, too.
