2007-07-18xen: Core Xen implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge
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.

2007-07-18Add nosegneg capability to the vsyscall page notesJeremy Fitzhardinge
Add the "nosegneg" fake capabilty to the vsyscall page notes. This is used by the runtime linker to select a glibc version which then disables negative-offset accesses to the thread-local segment via %gs. These accesses require emulation in Xen (because segments are truncated to protect the hypervisor address space) and avoiding them provides a measurable performance boost.

2007-07-18Add a sched_clock paravirt_opJeremy Fitzhardinge
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.

2007-07-18Add common orderly_poweroff()Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an orderly poweroff. This pulls them together into a single implementation. By default the poweroff command is /sbin/poweroff, but it can be set via sysctl: kernel/poweroff_cmd. This is split at whitespace, so it can include command-line arguments. This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal management. sparc64 has its own "powerd"; still need to determine whether it should be replaced by orderly_poweroff().

2007-07-18usermodehelper: split setup from executionJeremy Fitzhardinge
Rather than having hundreds of variations of call_usermodehelper for various pieces of usermode state which could be set up, split the info allocation and initialization from the actual process execution.

2007-07-18zs: move to the serial subsystemMaciej W. Rozycki
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). The old driver never got it right... Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2007-07-17arch/i386/* fs/* ipc/*: mark variables with uninitialized_var()Jeff Garzik
Mark variables with uninitialized_var() if such a warning appears, and analysis proves that the var is initialized properly on all paths it is used. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-07-17drivers/atm/ambassador: kill uninit'd var warning, and fix bugJeff Garzik
An uninitialized variable warning illuminated an area where indeed the variable was being used without initialization. Unfortunately, after verifying all such paths were fixed, the warning still appears. So we follow the initialization practice of other variables in this function.

2007-07-17drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp: kill uninit'd var warningJeff Garzik
drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp.c: In function ‘mthca_tavor_post_send’: drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp.c:1594: warning: ‘f0’ may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp.c: In function ‘mthca_arbel_post_send’: drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/mthca_qp.c:1949: warning: ‘f0’ may be used uninitialized in this function Initializing 'f0' is not strictly necessary in either case, AFAICS. I was considering use of uninitialized_var(), but looking at the complex flow of control in each function, I feel it is wiser and safer to simply zero the var and be certain of ourselves.
