2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Hooks to set up initial pagetableJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's initial pagetable is set up. In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory. When the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc. When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor. In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary. Also, Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure all pagetables are always mapped read-only. In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if there's no page already present in the pagetable. This allows the Xen paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable, allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while keeping the existing ones. A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable is reflected in all other pagetables. This makes it possible to allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables. And: +From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot page table setup in head.S. So we need to redo the effort here, so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like. Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only, which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte function to avoid problems in this area.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Add pagetable accessors to pack and unpack pagetable ↵Jeremy Fitzhardinge
entries Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries (at all levels). This allows a paravirt implementation to control the contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries. For example, Xen uses this to convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address when an entry is read.

Add a _paravirt_nop function for use as a stub for no-op operations, and paravirt_nop #defined void * version to make using it easier (since all its uses are as a void *).

Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT. When inlining code, this option attempts to trash registers in the patch-site's "clobber" field, on the grounds that this should find bugs with incorrect clobbers.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Make COMPAT_VDSO runtime selectable.Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable compat mode at runtime. This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the kernel command line, or via sysctl. (Switching on a running system shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat VDSO will be upset if it goes away.) The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT. +From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch. Even mingetty at system startup finds it easy to trigger an oops while reading /proc/PID/maps: though it has a good hold on the mm itself, that cannot stop exit_mm() from resetting tsk->mm to NULL. (It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses, and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead; but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Relocate VDSO ELF headers to match mapped location with ↵Jeremy Fitzhardinge
COMPAT_VDSO Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down. This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: clean up identify_cpuJeremy Fitzhardinge
identify_cpu() is used to identify both the boot CPU and secondary CPUs, but it performs some actions which only apply to the boot CPU. Those functions are therefore really __init functions, but because they're called by identify_cpu(), they must be marked __cpuinit.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: tighten kernel image page access rightsJan Beulich
On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern. On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table can also be write-protected. Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this. AK: split out cpa() changes Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: rationalize paravirt wrappersRusty Russell
paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level functions. Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply #define XXX native_XXX. There are several nice side effects: 1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *" not "void *". 2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled with a #error in case the bounds ever change. 3) Macros become inlines, with type checking. 4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and others who might want it.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Use per-cpu GDT immediately upon bootRusty Russell
Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the "cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the per-cpu GDT. This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C. The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated. For secondary CPUs, the early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy. For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP, but we never have to move.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Use per-cpu variables for GDT, PDARusty Russell
Allocating PDA and GDT at boot is a pain. Using simple per-cpu variables adds happiness (although we need the GDT page-aligned for Xen, which we do in a followup patch).
