* x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preemptedDavid Vrabel2015-02-231-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall has many sub-operations. A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall called from a hypercall continuation. However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is complete and the ioctl returns to user space. These long running tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection. Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to bracket hypercalls that may be preempted. Use these in the privcmd driver. When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible hypercall. Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call.

Force get_user_pages_fast() to fail on such addresses by marking the PTEs as special. If Xen has XENFEAT_gnttab_map_avail_bits (available since at least 4.0), we can do so efficiently in the grant map hypercall. Otherwise, it needs to be done afterwards. This is both inefficient and racy (the mapping is visible to the task before we fixup the PTEs), but will be fine for well-behaved applications that do not use the mapping until after the mmap() system call returns. Guests with XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap (ARM and x86 HVM or PVH) do not need this since get_user_pages() has always worked correctly for them.

* | | xen/grant-table: add a mechanism to safely unmap pages that are in useJennifer Herbert2015-01-281-0/+18

If the pages are in use the unmap is deferred and retried later. This polling is not very clever but it should be good enough if the cases where the delay is necessary are rare. The initial delay is 5 ms and is increased linearly on each subsequent retry (to reduce load if the page is in use for a long time). This is needed to allow block backends using grant mapping to safely use network storage (block or filesystem based such as iSCSI or NFS). The network storage driver may complete a block request whilst there is a queued network packet retry (because the ack from the remote end races with deciding to queue the retry). The pages for the retried packet would be grant unmapped and the network driver (or hardware) would access the unmapped page.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this, and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI / GHES actually make it to the respective handler. Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse, while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to work the native rather than the PV way).

Standard EFI Linux Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0. When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine. If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled. Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem initialization taking into account that there is no direct access to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that system runs as usual.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long. This change has no impact on x86. The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM. Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition. Build tested on amd64 and i386 builds. Runtime tested on ARM.

Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Suggested-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

This lets us be able to handle more events, have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff. The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the hypervisor doing it for us. In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment, syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH' name - a PV guest within an HVM container. The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc. It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is pretty awesome and we are excited about it. Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next. In short, this pull has awesome features. Features: - FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000 events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs. - Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations." (from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum") Bug-fixes: - Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM) - Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests. - Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly. - Refactors in event channels" * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (52 commits) xen/pvh: Set X86_CR0_WP and others in CR0 (v2) MAINTAINERS: add git repository for Xen xen/pvh: Use 'depend' instead of 'select'. xen: delete new instances of __cpuinit usage xen/fb: allow xenfb initialization for hvm guests xen/evtchn_fifo: fix error return code in evtchn_fifo_setup() xen-platform: fix error return code in platform_pci_init() xen/pvh: remove duplicated include from enlighten.c xen/pvh: Fix compile issues with xen_pvh_domain() xen: Use dev_is_pci() to check whether it is pci device xen/grant-table: Force to use v1 of grants. xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions (v3). xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM XenBus. xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver (v4) xen/grant: Implement an grant frame array struct (v3). xen/grant-table: Refactor gnttab_init xen/grants: Remove gnttab_max_grant_frames dependency on gnttab_init. xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for event channels (v2) xen/pvh: Update E820 to work with PVH (v2) xen/pvh: Secondary VCPU bringup (non-bootup CPUs) ...

The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \. This patch allows it to be configured and enabled. We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.
