Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put initially in my tree due to oversight. The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading. There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can register for. We are now doing that. The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal). We had a similar issue in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three missing ones. The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc) be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on its face. Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we take precaution of not doing that on such older installations. Feature: - Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore. Bug-fixes: - Three pvops call for Xen were undefined causing BUG_ONs. - Add a quirk so that the shutdown watches (used by kdump) are not used with older Xen (3.4). - Fix ungraceful state transition for the HVC console." * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches. xen/bootup: allow {read|write}_cr8 pvops call. xen/bootup: allow read_tscp call for Xen PV guests. xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump xen/hvc: handle backend CLOSED without CLOSING

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Features: * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV console, block and network frontend/backends are working. Bug-fixes: * Fix compile linux-next fallout. * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing. The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports ARMv7 platforms. The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os (network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen drivers and infrastructure. Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the overall architecture: http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2012/09/21/xensummit-sessions-new-pvh-virtualisation-mode-for-arm-cortex-a15arm-servers-and-x86/ * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.7-arm-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen: (21 commits) xen/xen_initial_domain: check that xen_start_info is initialized xen: mark xen_init_IRQ __init xen/Makefile: fix dom-y build arm: introduce a DTS for Xen unprivileged virtual machines MAINTAINERS: add myself as Xen ARM maintainer xen/arm: compile netback xen/arm: compile blkfront and blkback xen/arm: implement alloc/free_xenballooned_pages with alloc_pages/kfree xen/arm: receive Xen events on ARM xen/arm: initialize grant_table on ARM xen/arm: get privilege status xen/arm: introduce CONFIG_XEN on ARM xen: do not compile manage, balloon, pci, acpi, pcpu and cpu_hotplug on ARM xen/arm: Introduce xen_ulong_t for unsigned long xen/arm: Xen detection and shared_info page mapping docs: Xen ARM DT bindings xen/arm: empty implementation of grant_table arch specific functions xen/arm: sync_bitops xen/arm: page.h definitions xen/arm: hypercalls ...

xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump

2012-10-04T15:30:30Z

Register pfn_is_ram helper speed up reading /proc/vmcore in the kdump kernel. See commit message of 997c136f518c ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details. It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1. The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore. Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.

Pull preparatory patches for user API disintegration from David Howells: "The patches herein prepare for the extraction of the Userspace API bits from the various header files named in the Kbuild files. New subdirectories are created under either include/uapi/ or arch/x/include/uapi/ that correspond to the subdirectory containing that file under include/ or arch/x/include/. The new subdirs under the uapi/ directory are populated with Kbuild files that mostly do nothing at this time. Further patches will disintegrate the headers in each original directory and fill in the Kbuild files as they do it. These patches also: (1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than . (2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code. (3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in the old places and the new UAPI place that both specify headers to be exported. (4) Fix some kernel tools that #include kernel headers during their build. I have compile tested this with allyesconfig against x86_64, allmodconfig against i386 and a scattering of additional defconfigs of other arches.

USB EHCI/Xen: propagate controller reset information to hypervisor

2012-09-18T16:20:48Z

Just like for the in-tree early console debug port driver, the hypervisor - when using a debug port based console - also needs to be told about controller resets, so it can suppress using and then re-initialize the debug port accordingly. Other than the in-tree driver, the hypervisor driver actually cares about doing this only for the device where the debug is port actually in use, i.e. it needs to be told the coordinates of the device being reset (quite obviously, leveraging the addition done for that would likely benefit the in-tree driver too).
