Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD system). sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts. sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs Signed-off-by:Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citirx.com> Cc: xen-devel <xen-devel@lists.xensource.com> Cc: Stephen Tweedie <sct@redhat.com> Cc: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Cc: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on. In general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a multicall). This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its argument list. The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the args array of mmu_update. This is particularly valuable when doing the update for a large mprotect, which goes via ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to pgd/pmds as well. Signed-off-by:

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.

We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about. Signed-off-by:

If we're using vcpu_info mapping, then make sure its restored on all processors before relasing them from stop_machine. The only complication is that if this fails, we can't continue because we've already made assumptions that the mapping is available (baked in calls to the _direct versions of the functions, for example). Fortunately this can only happen with a 32-bit hypervisor, which may possibly run out of mapping space. On a 64-bit hypervisor, this is a non-issue. Signed-off-by:

When operating on an unpinned pagetable (ie, one under construction or destruction), it isn't necessary to use a hypercall to update a pud/pmd entry. Jan Beulich observed that a similar optimisation avoided many thousands of hypercalls while doing a kernel build. One tricky part is that early in the kernel boot there's no page structure, so we can't check to see if the page is pinned. In that case, we just always use the hypercall. Signed-off-by:

We crash on a benign-looking printk. The code around it got changed in -tip but checking those topic branches individually did not reproduce the bug. Bisection led to this commit: | d5edbc1f is first bad commit | commit d5edbc1f | Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> | Date: Mon May 26 23:31:22 2008 +0100 | | xen: add p2m mfn_list_list Which is somewhat surprising, as on native hardware Xen client side should have little to no side-effects. After some head scratching, it turns out the following happened: randconfig enabled the following Xen options: CONFIG_XEN=y CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=8 # CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND is not set # CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND is not set CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y # CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON is not set which activated this piece of code in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c: > @@ -69,6 +69,13 @@ > __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) = > { [ 0 ...

In this case the size of p2m_top_mfn_list is not page aligned: 80b8d000 b p2m_top_mfn 80b8f000 b p2m_top_mfn_list 80b8f008 b softirq_stack 80b97008 b hardirq_stack 80b9f008 b bm_pte So all subsequent variables get unaligned which, depending on luck, breaks the kernel in various funny ways. In this case what killed the kernel first was the misaligned bootmap pte page, resulting in that creative crash above. Anyway, this was a fun bug to track down :-) I think the moral is that .bss.page_aligned is a dangerous construct in its current form, and the symptoms of breakage are very non-trivial, so i think we need build-time checks to make sure all symbols in .bss.page_aligned are truly page aligned.

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.

When using sparsemem and memory hotplug, the kernel's pseudo-physical address space can be discontigious. Previously this was dealt with by having the upper parts of the radix tree stubbed off. Unfortunately, this is incompatible with save/restore, which requires a complete p2m table. The solution is to have a special distinguished all-invalid p2m leaf page, which we can point all the hole areas at. This allows the tools to see a complete p2m table, but it only costs a page for all memory holes. It also simplifies the code since it removes a few special cases. Signed-off-by:

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. For a 32-bit guest, the default value of 8GB is probably sufficient; there's not much point in giving a 32-bit machine much more memory than that. Signed-off-by:

Without console= arguments on the kernel command line, the first console to register becomes enabled and the preferred console (the one behind /dev/console). This is normally tty (assuming CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is enabled, which it commonly is). This is okay as long tty is a useful console. But unless we have the PV framebuffer, and it is enabled for this domain, tty0 in domU is merely a dummy. In that case, we want the preferred console to be the Xen console hvc0, and we want it without having to fiddle with the kernel command line. Commit b8c2d3df did that for us. Since we now have the PV framebuffer, we want to enable and prefer tty again, but only when PVFB is enabled. But even then we still want to enable the Xen console as well. Problem: when tty registers, we can't yet know whether the PVFB is enabled. By the time we can know (xenstore is up), the console setup game is over. Solution: enable console tty by default, but keep hvc as the preferred console. Change the preferred console to tty when PVFB probes successfully, unless we've been given console kernel parameters.
