* xen: SMP guest supportJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-1811-53/+705
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* xen: Account for stolen timeJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-181-9/+150
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch accounts for the time stolen from our VCPUs. Stolen time is time where a vcpu is runnable and could be running, but all available physical CPUs are being used for something else. This accounting gets run on each timer interrupt, just as a way to get it run relatively often, and when interesting things are going on. Stolen time is not really used by much in the kernel; it is reported in /proc/stats, and that's about it.

* xen: ignore RW mapping of RO pages in pagetable_initJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-181-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When setting up the initial pagetable, which includes mappings of all low physical memory, ignore a mapping which tries to set the RW bit on an RO pte. An RO pte indicates a page which is part of the current pagetable, and so it cannot be allowed to become RW. Once xen_pagetable_setup_done is called, set_pte reverts to its normal behaviour.

* xen: Complete pagetable pinningJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-184-109/+242
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xen requires all active pagetables to be marked read-only. When the base of the pagetable is loaded into %cr3, the hypervisor validates the entire pagetable and only allows the load to proceed if it all checks out. This is pretty slow, so to mitigate this cost Xen has a notion of pinned pagetables. Pinned pagetables are pagetables which are considered to be active even if no processor's cr3 is pointing to is. This means that it must remain read-only and all updates are validated by the hypervisor. This makes context switches much cheaper, because the hypervisor doesn't need to revalidate the pagetable each time. This also adds a new paravirt hook which is called during setup once the zones and memory allocator have been initialized. When the init_mm pagetable is first built, the struct page array does not yet exist, and so there's nowhere to put he init_mm pagetable's PG_pinned flags. Once the zones are initialized and the struct page array exists, we can set the PG_pinned flags for those pages. This patch also adds the Xen support for pte pages allocated out of highmem (highpte) by implementing xen_kmap_atomic_pte.

* xen: time implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-183-1/+414
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xen maintains a base clock which measures nanoseconds since system boot. This is provided to guests via a shared page which contains a base time in ns, a tsc timestamp at that point and tsc frequency parameters. Guests can compute the current time by reading the tsc and using it to extrapolate the current time from the basetime. The hypervisor makes sure that the frequency parameters are updated regularly, paricularly if the tsc changes rate or stops. This is implemented as a clocksource, so the interface to the rest of the kernel is a simple clocksource which simply returns the current time directly in nanoseconds. Xen also provides a simple timer mechanism, which allows a timeout to be set in the future. When that time arrives, a timer event is sent to the guest. There are two timer interfaces: - An old one which also delivers a stream of (unused) ticks at 100Hz, and on the same event, the actual timer events. The 100Hz ticks cause a lot of spurious wakeups, but are basically harmless. - The new timer interface doesn't have the 100Hz ticks, and can also fail if the specified time is in the past. This code presents the Xen timer as a clockevent driver, and uses the new interface by preference.

* xen: event channelsJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-184-1/+542
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* xen: virtual mmuJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-184-5/+494
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Xen pagetable handling, including the machinery to implement direct pagetables. Xen presents the real CPU's pagetables directly to guests, with no added shadowing or other layer of abstraction. Naturally this means the hypervisor must maintain close control over what the guest can put into the pagetable. When the guest modifies the pte/pmd/pgd, it must convert its domain-specific notion of a "physical" pfn into a global machine frame number (mfn) before inserting the entry into the pagetable. Xen will check to make sure the domain is allowed to create a mapping of the given mfn. Xen also requires that all mappings the guest has of its own active pagetable are read-only. This is relatively easy to implement in Linux because all pagetables share the same pte pages for kernel mappings, so updating the pte in one pagetable will implicitly update the mapping in all pagetables. Normally a pagetable becomes active when you point to it with cr3 (or the Xen equivalent), but when you do so, Xen must check the whole pagetable for correctness, which is clearly a performance problem. Xen solves this with pinning which keeps a pagetable effectively active even if its currently unused, which means that all the normal update rules are enforced. This means that it need not revalidate the pagetable when loading cr3. This patch has a first-cut implementation of pinning, but it is more fully implemented in a later patch.

* xen: Core Xen implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-1816-1/+1373
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Add a sched_clock paravirt_opJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-07-187-17/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds. This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which matches both Xen and VMI's requirements. In order to do this, we: 1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock 2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header 3. update vmi accordingly One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to override this weak binding. This means the usual paravirt_ops technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem. Any resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential. ;-) I do hope I got the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the issue unless you feel too good... Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines have now been swapped, i.e. ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3. It has to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used). Please update your scripts. This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).

* dm: fix memory leak in dm_create_persistent() when starting metadata update ↵Jesper Juhl2007-07-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | thread fails If, in dm_create_persistent(), the call to create_singlethread_workqueue() fails then we'll return without freeing the memory allocated to 'ps', thus leaking sizeof(struct pstore) bytes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The old IDE driver is not ready to take generic SCSI commands, even if it uses them for some specific issues (ie the tray open/close ioctls for IDE CD-ROM's). Pointed out by Bartlomiej. I'm sure we'll have it fixed properly soon enough, but for now we should not allow it to cause problems.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running QIOASSIST enabled qdio devices in a z/VM environment the output queue for such devices stall in heavy workload situations. When SQBS and EQBS instructions returns CCQ=96 qdio does not reissue the instruction again with the register settings done by millicode but processed the returned qdio buffer. This is wrong. qdio has to reissue the instruction once again on CCQ=96, as we already do it for CCQ=97.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The instructions with format RX_URRD and SI_URD and instructions with a PC relative operand are not disassembled correctly. For RX_URRD and SI_URD instructions find_insn sets opfrag to code[0]. The mask byte of these two formats is 0x00. table->opfrag will never be identical to (opfrag & opmask) and no matching instruction will be found. Set the mask byte to 0xff to actually check byte 0 against the table. For PC relative instructions the (unsigned) offset value needs to be casted to an signed integer so that negative branch offsets are handled correctly.
