2008-11-07xen: make sure stray alias mappings are gone before pinningJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings are RO. If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped. This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning the page. Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

2008-11-06x86, xen: fix use of pgd_page now that it really does return a pageJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: fix 32-bit Xen guest boot crash On 32-bit PAE, pud_page, for no good reason, didn't really return a struct page *. Since Jan Beulich's fix "i386/PAE: fix pud_page()", pud_page does return a struct page *. Because PAE has 3 pagetable levels, the pud level is folded into the pgd level, so pgd_page() is the same as pud_page(), and now returns a struct page *. Update the xen/mmu.c code which uses pgd_page() accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-10-27xen: fix Xen domU boot with batched mprotectChris Lalancette
Impact: fix guest kernel boot crash on certain configs Recent i686 2.6.27 kernels with a certain amount of memory (between 736 and 855MB) have a problem booting under a hypervisor that supports batched mprotect (this includes the RHEL-5 Xen hypervisor as well as any 3.3 or later Xen hypervisor). The problem ends up being that xen_ptep_modify_prot_commit() is using virt_to_machine to calculate which pfn to update. However, this only works for pages that are in the p2m list, and the pages coming from change_pte_range() in mm/mprotect.c are kmap_atomic pages. Because of this, we can run into the situation where the lookup in the p2m table returns an INVALID_MFN, which we then try to pass to the hypervisor, which then (correctly) denies the request to a totally bogus pfn. The right thing to do is to use arbitrary_virt_to_machine, so that we can be sure we are modifying the right pfn. This unfortunately introduces a performance penalty because of a full page-table-walk, but we can avoid that penalty for pages in the p2m list by checking if virt_addr_valid is true, and if so, just doing the lookup in the p2m table. The attached patch implements this, and allows my 2.6.27 i686 based guest with 768MB of memory to boot on a RHEL-5 hypervisor again. Thanks to Jeremy for the suggestions about how to fix this particular issue.

2008-10-20mm: rewrite vmap layerNick Piggin
Rewrite the vmap allocator to use rbtrees and lazy tlb flushing, and provide a fast, scalable percpu frontend for small vmaps (requires a slightly different API, though). The biggest problem with vmap is actually vunmap. Presently this requires a global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI to all CPUs to flush the cache. This is all done under a global lock. As the number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled workload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush. This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics. Another problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single lock. It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast paths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway, so it's just pointless. This is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems. The existing vmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem. The TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping. vmap addresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped, because the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free) until they are reallocated. So the addresses aren't allocated again until a subsequent TLB flush. A single TLB flush then can flush multiple vunmaps from each CPU. XEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can't always handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address. They now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings. That call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than a single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not called too often. The virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a linked list to improve the algorithmic scalability. There is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids global locking. To use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces must be used in place of vmap and vunmap. Vmalloc does not use these interfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it will use lazy TLB flushing). As a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel, linearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages. Different numbers of tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron. Results are in nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap. threads vanilla vmap rewrite 1 14700 2900 2 33600 3000 4 49500 2800 8 70631 2900 So with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster. In a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less scalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching code out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram and vm_unmap_ram... along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to speed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system. I believe vmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but I'm running into other locks now. vmap is pretty well blown off the profiles.

2008-10-10xen: do not reserve 2 pages of padding between hypervisor and fixmap.Ian Campbell
When reserving space for the hypervisor the Xen paravirt backend adds an extra two pages (this was carried forward from the 2.6.18-xen tree which had them "for safety"). Depending on various CONFIG options this can cause the boot time fixmaps to span multiple PMDs which is not supported and triggers a WARN in early_ioremap_init(). This was exposed by 2216d199b1430d1c0affb1498a9ebdbd9c0de439 which moved the dmi table parsing earlier. x86: fix CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=y The bad_bios_dmi_table() quirk never triggered because we do DMI setup too late. Move it a bit earlier. There is no real reason to reserve these two extra pages and the fixmap already incorporates FIX_HOLE which serves the same purpose. None of the other callers of reserve_top_address do this. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-10-09xen: use spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetableJeremy Fitzhardinge
When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page). Because all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that we're potentially taking a lock recursively. This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while holding mm->page_table_lock. lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep knows what's going on.

2008-08-22x86, paravirt_ops: use unsigned long instead of u32 for alloc_p*() pfn argsEduardo Habkost
This patch changes the pfn args from 'u32' to 'unsigned long' on alloc_p*() functions on paravirt_ops, and the corresponding implementations for Xen and VMI. The prototypes for CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n are already using unsigned long, so paravirt.h now matches the prototypes on asm-x86/pgalloc.h. It shouldn't result in any changes on generated code on 32-bit, with or without CONFIG_PARAVIRT. On both cases, 'codiff -f' didn't show any change after applying this patch. On 64-bit, there are (expected) binary changes only when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is enabled, as the patch is really supposed to change the size of the pfn args.

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.

There are four operating modes Xen code may find itself running in: - native - hvm domain - pv dom0 - pv domU Clean up predicates for testing for these states to make them more consistent.

2008-07-31xen_alloc_ptpage: cast PFN_PHYS() argument to unsigned longEduardo Habkost
Currently paravirt_ops alloc_p*() uses u32 for the pfn args. We should change that later, but while the pfn parameter is still u32, we need to cast the PFN_PHYS() argument at xen_alloc_ptpage() to unsigned long, otherwise it will lose bits on the shift. I think PFN_PHYS() should behave better when fed with smaller integers, but a cast to unsigned long won't be enough for all cases on 32-bit PAE, and a cast to u64 would be overkill for most users of PFN_PHYS(). We could have two different flavors of PFN_PHYS: one for low pages only (unsigned long) and another that works for any page (u64)), but while we don't have it, we will need the cast to unsigned long on xen_alloc_ptpage().

2008-07-31xen: compile irq functions without -pg for ftraceJeremy Fitzhardinge
For some reason I managed to miss a bunch of irq-related functions which also need to be compiled without -pg when using ftrace. This patch moves them into their own file, and starts a cleanup process I've been meaning to do anyway.

2008-07-28xen: suppress known wrmsrsJeremy Fitzhardinge
In general, Xen doesn't support wrmsr from an unprivileged domain; it just ends up ignoring the instruction and printing a message on the console. Given that there are sets of MSRs we know the kernel will try to write to, but we don't care, just eat them in xen_write_msr to cut down on console noise.

2008-07-28xen: fix allocation and use of large ldtsJeremy Fitzhardinge
When the ldt gets to more than 1 page in size, the kernel uses vmalloc to allocate it. This means that: - when making the ldt RO, we must update the pages in both the vmalloc mapping and the linear mapping to make sure there are no RW aliases. - we need to use arbitrary_virt_to_machine to compute the machine addr for each update Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-07-24x86: split spinlock implementations out into their own filesJeremy Fitzhardinge
ftrace requires certain low-level code, like spinlocks and timestamps, to be compiled without -pg in order to avoid infinite recursion. This patch splits out the core paravirt spinlocks and the Xen spinlocks into separate files which can be compiled without -pg. Also do xen/time.c while we're about it. As a result, we can now use ftrace within a Xen domain. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
