2013-05-29xenbus: delay xenbus frontend resume if xenstored is not runningAurelien Chartier
If the xenbus frontend is located in a domain running xenstored, the device resume is hanging because it is happening before the process resume. This patch adds extra logic to the resume code to check if we are the domain running xenstored and delay the resume if needed. Signed-off-by: Aurelien Chartier <aurelien.chartier@citrix.com> [Changes in v2: - Instead of bypassing the resume, process it in a workqueue] [Changes in v3: - Add a struct work in xenbus_device to avoid dynamic allocation - Several small code fixes] [Changes in v4: - Use a dedicated workqueue] [Changes in v5: - Move create_workqueue error handling to xenbus_frontend_dev_resume] Acked-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2013-04-30xen: tmem: enable Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a moduleDan Magenheimer
Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module. Xen self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by module parameters. Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches are not present. If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered deprecated. Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

2013-04-22xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressionsWei Liu
This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39. Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots) per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing slots. Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17) which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots. To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more than max_skb_slots is considered malicious. The behavior of netback for packet is thus: 1-18 slots: valid 19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20. Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests. Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be fixed with separate patch.

The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly. Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535.

2013-03-22xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guestsJan Beulich
For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway. This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI: add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

2013-03-11xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requestsDavid Vrabel
If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request, the request was not translated and the response would have the incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave incorrectly or crash. Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place, regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP). This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend. This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would be invalid.

This patch create a file (xen-stub.c) for Xen stub drivers. Xen stub drivers are used to reserve space for Xen drivers, i.e. memory hotplug and cpu hotplug, and to block native drivers loaded, so that real Xen drivers can be modular and loaded on demand. This patch is specific for Xen memory hotplug (other Xen logic can add stub drivers on their own). The xen stub driver will occupied earlier via subsys_initcall (than native memory hotplug driver via module_init and so blocking native). Later real Xen memory hotplug logic will unregister the stub driver and register itself to take effect on demand.

PAD is acpi Processor Aggregator Device which provides a control point that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration and control that applies to all processors in the platform. This patch is to implement Xen acpi pad logic. When running under Xen virt platform, native pad driver would not work. Instead Xen pad driver, a self-contained and thin logic level, would take over acpi pad logic. When acpi pad notify OSPM, xen pad logic intercept and parse _PUR object to get the expected idle cpu number, and then hypercall to hypervisor. Xen hypervisor would then do the rest work, say, core parking, to idle specific number of cpus on its own policy.

2012-10-17UAPI: Remove empty non-UAPI Kbuild filesDavid Howells
Remove non-UAPI Kbuild files that have become empty as a result of UAPI disintegration. They used to have only header-y lines in them and those have now moved to the Kbuild files in the corresponding uapi/ directories. Possibly these should not be removed but rather have a comment inserted to say they are intentionally left blank. This would make it easier to add generated header lines in future without having to restore the infrastructure. Note that at this point not all the UAPI disintegration parts have been merged, so it is likely that more empty Kbuild files will turn up. It is probably necessary to make the files non-empty to prevent the patch program from automatically deleting them when it reduces them to nothing. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen 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 ...

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.

2012-09-21xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4.Andres Lagar-Cavilla
Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the pager assist (typical scenario for dom0). This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies foreign grants). * Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the target foreign frame is paged out). * Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers. The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain. It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other status code results in identical code execution as before. The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a 32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry. V2 after feedback from David Vrabel: * Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero * Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module. V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell: * Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated error code we jump over. * Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor. * Some renaming. * Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface. V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.
