x86, xen: fix use of pgd_page now that it really does return a page
|
|
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.

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.

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.

This merges branches irq/genirq, irq/sparseirq-v4, timers/hpet-percpu
and x86/uv.
The sparseirq branch is just preliminary groundwork: no sparse IRQs are
actually implemented by this tree anymore - just the new APIs are added
while keeping the old way intact as well (the new APIs map 1:1 to
irq_desc[]). The 'real' sparse IRQ support will then be a relatively
small patch ontop of this - with a v2.6.29 merge target.

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.
This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

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.

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.

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.

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:
A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.
A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.

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.

pinning the PTE when not using split pte locks.

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.

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().

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.

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.

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

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.

LTP testing showed that Xen does not properly implement
