Ian Campbell 7e77506a59 xen: implement XENMEM_machphys_mapping
This hypercall allows Xen to specify a non-default location for the
machine to physical mapping. This capability is used when running a 32
bit domain 0 on a 64 bit hypervisor to shrink the hypervisor hole to
exactly the size required.

[ Impact: add Xen hypercall definitions ]

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 15ebbb82ba xen: fix shared irq device passthrough
In driver/xen/events.c, whether bind_pirq is shareable or not is
determined by desc->action is NULL or not. But in __setup_irq,
startup(irq) is invoked before desc->action is assigned with
new action. So desc->action in startup_irq is always NULL, and
bind_pirq is always not shareable. This results in pt_irq_create_bind
failure when passthrough a device which shares irq to other devices.

This patch doesn't use probing_irq to determine if pirq is shareable
or not, instead set shareable flag in irq_info according to trigger
mode in xen_allocate_pirq. Set level triggered interrupts shareable.
Thus use this flag to set bind_pirq flag accordingly.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge d46a78b05c xen: implement pirq type event channels
A privileged PV Xen domain can get direct access to hardware.  In
order for this to be useful, it must be able to get hardware
interrupts.

Being a PV Xen domain, all interrupts are delivered as event channels.
PIRQ event channels are bound to a pirq number and an interrupt
vector.  When a IO APIC raises a hardware interrupt on that vector, it
is delivered as an event channel, which we can deliver to the
appropriate device driver(s).

This patch simply implements the infrastructure for dealing with pirq
event channels.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk b097186fd2 swiotlb-xen: SWIOTLB library for Xen PV guest with PCI passthrough.
This patchset:

PV guests under Xen are running in an non-contiguous memory architecture.

When PCI pass-through is utilized, this necessitates an IOMMU for
translating bus (DMA) to virtual and vice-versa and also providing a
mechanism to have contiguous pages for device drivers operations (say DMA
operations).

Specifically, under Xen the Linux idea of pages is an illusion. It
assumes that pages start at zero and go up to the available memory. To
help with that, the Linux Xen MMU provides a lookup mechanism to
translate the page frame numbers (PFN) to machine frame numbers (MFN)
and vice-versa. The MFN are the "real" frame numbers. Furthermore
memory is not contiguous. Xen hypervisor stitches memory for guests
from different pools, which means there is no guarantee that PFN==MFN
and PFN+1==MFN+1. Lastly with Xen 4.0, pages (in debug mode) are
allocated in descending order (high to low), meaning the guest might
never get any MFN's under the 4GB mark.

reliable pv clock in HVM guests (XENFEAT_hvm_safe_pvclock).

VMEXITs. Same goes for the xen wallclock and xen_vcpuop_clockevent

Stefano Stabellini 183d03cc4f xen: Xen PCI platform device driver.
Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible
for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode.
Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed
initialization in HVM mode.
Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode.

The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been
delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0.
The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall
that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional
Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests.

When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in
progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch
the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and
might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that
evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning.
For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop
again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some
event channel deliveries.

Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the
callback vector delivery mechanism.

The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

Alex Nixon 08bbc9da92 xen: Add xen_create_contiguous_region
A memory region must be physically contiguous in order to be accessed
through DMA.  This patch adds xen_create_contiguous_region, which
ensures a region of contiguous virtual memory is also physically
contiguous.

Based on Stephen Tweedie's port of the 2.6.18-xen version.

Remove contiguous_bitmap[] as it's no longer needed.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 168d2f464a xen: save previous spinlock when blocking
A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
interrupt handler.

We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
blocking.  If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
indefinitely in the hypervisor.  This fix is to make sure that any
nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
chance the outer lock became free.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 2d9e1e2f58 xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks
The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
spinlock.

This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
efficient.

The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
lock byte.  The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
they have the lock.  If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
until the lock is positive again.

When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
to get the lock.  If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
event channel.

When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on.  It picks
one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.

This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
contended lock.

[*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around".  Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
paths will only be entered 2% of the time.

add xen_timer_resume() hook.

Timer resume should be done after event channel is resumed.
add xen_arch_resume() hook when ipi becomes usable after resume.
After resume, some cpu specific resource must be reinitialized
on ia64 that can't be set by another cpu.

However available hooks is run once on only one cpu so that ipi has
to be used.

During stop_machine_run() ipi can't be used because interrupt is masked.
So add another hook after stop_machine_run().
Another approach might be use resume hook which is run by
device_resume(). However device_resume() may be executed on
suspend error recovery path.

So it is necessary to determine whether it is executed on real resume path
or error recovery path.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge e57778a1e3 xen: implement ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving
its accessed and dirty bits.  This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be
implemented as a simple read of the pte value.  The hardware may
update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while
preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime.

The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy
mmu mode.

The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but
this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of
using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor.

The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two
expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single
hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 0e91398f2a xen: implement save/restore
This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.

Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c.  When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:

1 - Freeze all processes.  This is primarily to prevent any
    partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
    process.  If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.

2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices

3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent.  The
    Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.

4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
    construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
    pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally

5 - Suspend the domain

Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

Markus Armbruster e4dcff1f6e xen pvfb: Dynamic mode support (screen resizing)
The pvfb backend indicates dynamic mode support by creating node
feature_resize with a non-zero value in its xenstore directory.
xen-fbfront sends a resize notification event on mode change.  Fully
backwards compatible both ways.

Framebuffer size and initial resolution can be controlled through
kernel parameter xen_fbfront.video.  The backend enforces a separate
size limit, which it advertises in node videoram in its xenstore
directory.

xen-kbdfront gets the maximum screen resolution from nodes width and
height in the backend's xenstore directory instead of hardcoding it.

Additional goodie: support for larger framebuffers (512M on a 64-bit
system with 4K pages).

Changing the number of bits per pixels dynamically is not supported,
yet.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1775826cee xen: add balloon driver
The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain,
in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains.

This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only
allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to
that size).  A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond
its initial size.

Markus Armbruster 4ee36dc08e xen pvfb: Para-virtual framebuffer, keyboard and pointer driver
This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers:
drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and
drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse.

The backends run in dom0 user space.

The two drivers are not in two separate patches, because the
intermediate step (one driver, not the other) is somewhat problematic:
the backend in dom0 needs both drivers, and will refuse to complete
device initialization unless they're both present.

Christian Limpach 1d78d70556 xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is added
When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.

This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

Markus Armbruster 3e334239d8 xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore.  Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI.  This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

Isaku Yamahata 5f0ababbf4 xen: replace callers of alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() with xen_ prefixed one
Don't use alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() directly, instead define
xen_alloc_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.

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

Jeremy Fitzhardinge f87e4cac4f xen: SMP guest support
This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops.

Xen has its own IPI mechanisms, and has no dependency on any
APIC-based IPI.  The smp_ops hooks and the flush_tlb_others pv_op
allow a Xen guest to avoid all APIC code in arch/i386 (the only apic
operation is a single apic_read for the apic version number).

One subtle point which needs to be addressed is unpinning pagetables
when another cpu may have a lazy tlb reference to the pagetable. Xen
will not allow an in-use pagetable to be unpinned, so we must find any
other cpus with a reference to the pagetable and get them to shoot
down their references.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge e46cdb66c8 xen: event channels
Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels.  Each guest
domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of
purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events,
inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs.

Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement
the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip.

Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to
accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and
IRQs.  Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically
allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between
event channels and irqs.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 5ead97c84f 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.
