Juergen Gross 054954eb05 xen: switch to linear virtual mapped sparse p2m list
At start of the day the Xen hypervisor presents a contiguous mfn list
to a pv-domain. In order to support sparse memory this mfn list is
accessed via a three level p2m tree built early in the boot process.
Whenever the system needs the mfn associated with a pfn this tree is
used to find the mfn.

Instead of using a software walked tree for accessing a specific mfn
list entry this patch is creating a virtual address area for the
entire possible mfn list including memory holes. The holes are
covered by mapping a pre-defined  page consisting only of "invalid
mfn" entries. Access to a mfn entry is possible by just using the
virtual base address of the mfn list and the pfn as index into that
list. This speeds up the (hot) path of determining the mfn of a
pfn.

Kernel build on a Dell Latitude E6440 (2 cores, HT) in 64 bit Dom0
showed following improvements:

Elapsed time: 32:50 ->  32:35
System:       18:07 ->  17:47
User:        104:00 -> 103:30

Juergen Gross 5b8e7d8054 xen: Delay invalidating extra memory
When the physical memory configuration is initialized the p2m entries
for not pouplated memory pages are set to "invalid". As those pages
are beyond the hypervisor built p2m list the p2m tree has to be
extended.

This patch delays processing the extra memory related p2m entries
during the boot process until some more basic memory management
functions are callable. This removes the need to create new p2m
entries until virtual memory management is available.

Juergen Gross 1f3ac86b4c xen: Delay remapping memory of pv-domain
Early in the boot process the memory layout of a pv-domain is changed
to match the E820 map (either the host one for Dom0 or the Xen one)
regarding placement of RAM and PCI holes. This requires removing memory
pages initially located at positions not suitable for RAM and adding
them later at higher addresses where no restrictions apply.

To be able to operate on the hypervisor supported p2m list until a
virtual mapped linear p2m list can be constructed, remapping must
be delayed until virtual memory management is initialized, as the
initial p2m list can't be extended unlimited at physical memory
initialization time due to it's fixed structure.

A further advantage is the reduction in complexity and code volume as
we don't have to be careful regarding memory restrictions during p2m
updates.

Daniel Kiper c7341d6a61 arch/x86/xen: Silence compiler warnings
Compiler complains in the following way when x86 32-bit kernel
with Xen support is build:

  CC      arch/x86/xen/enlighten.o
arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c: In function ‘xen_start_kernel’:
arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:1726:3: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

Such line contains following EFI initialization code:

boot_params.efi_info.efi_systab_hi = (__u32)(__pa(efi_systab_xen) >> 32);

There is no issue if x86 64-bit kernel is build. However, 32-bit case
generate warning (even if that code will not be executed because Xen
does not work on 32-bit EFI platforms) due to __pa() returning unsigned long
type which has 32-bits width. So move whole EFI initialization stuff
to separate function and build it conditionally to avoid above mentioned
warning on x86 32-bit architecture.

Roger Pau Monne c9f6e9977e xen/pvh: Set X86_CR0_WP and others in CR0 (v2)
otherwise we will get for some user-space applications
that use 'clone' with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
end up hitting an assert in glibc manifested by:

general protection ip:7f80720d364c sp:7fff98fd8a80 error:0 in
libc-2.13.so[7f807209e000+180000]

This is due to the nature of said operations which sets and clears
the PID.  "In the successful one I can see that the page table of
the parent process has been updated successfully to use a
different physical page, so the write of the tid on
that page only affects the child...

On the other hand, in the failed case, the write seems to happen before
the copy of the original page is done, so both the parent and the child
end up with the same value (because the parent copies the page after
the write of the child tid has already happened)."
(Roger's analysis). The nature of this is due to the Xen's commit
of 51e2cac257ec8b4080d89f0855c498cbbd76a5e5
"x86/pvh: set only minimal cr0 and cr4 flags in order to use paging"
the CR0_WP was removed so COW features of the Linux kernel were not
operating properly.

While doing that also update the rest of the CR0 flags to be inline
with what a baremetal Linux kernel would set them to.

In 'secondary_startup_64' (baremetal Linux) sets:

X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_NE | X86_CR0_WP |
X86_CR0_AM | X86_CR0_PG

The hypervisor for HVM type guests (which PVH is a bit) sets:
X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_TS
For PVH it specifically sets:
X86_CR0_PG

Which means we need to set the rest: X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_NE  |
X86_CR0_WP | X86_CR0_AM to have full parity.

Mukesh Rathor 5840c84b16 xen/pvh: Secondary VCPU bringup (non-bootup CPUs)
The VCPU bringup protocol follows the PV with certain twists.
From xen/include/public/arch-x86/xen.h:

Also note that when calling DOMCTL_setvcpucontext and VCPU_initialise
for HVM and PVH guests, not all information in this structure is updated:

 - For HVM guests, the structures read include: fpu_ctxt (if
 VGCT_I387_VALID is set), flags, user_regs, debugreg[*]

 - PVH guests are the same as HVM guests, but additionally use ctrlreg[3] to
 set cr3. All other fields not used should be set to 0.

This is what we do. We piggyback on the 'xen_setup_gdt' - but modify
a bit - we need to call 'load_percpu_segment' so that 'switch_to_new_gdt'
can load per-cpu data-structures. It has no effect on the VCPU0.

We also piggyback on the %rdi register to pass in the CPU number - so
that when we bootup a new CPU, the cpu_bringup_and_idle will have
passed as the first parameter the CPU number (via %rdi for 64-bit).

Paul Gortmaker 148f9bb877 x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

This is a respin of 00e37bdb01
("xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec").

Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into an
E820 reserved memory area.

The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This will
cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a new
kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the pfn
is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to update
the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new kernel.

The toolstack marks the memory area FC000000-FFFFFFFF as reserved in the
E820 map. Within that range newer toolstacks (4.3+) will keep 1MB
starting from FE700000 as reserved for guest use. Older Xen4 toolstacks
will usually not allocate areas up to FE700000, so FE700000 is expected
to work also with older toolstacks.

In Xen3 there is no reserved area at a fixed location. If the guest is
started on such old hosts the shared_info page will be placed in RAM. As
a result kexec can not be used.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 357a3cfb14 xen/p2m: Add logic to revector a P2M tree to use __va leafs.
During bootup Xen supplies us with a P2M array. It sticks
it right after the ramdisk, as can be seen with a 128GB PV guest:

(certain parts removed for clarity):
xc_dom_build_image: called
xc_dom_alloc_segment:   kernel       : 0xffffffff81000000 -> 0xffffffff81e43000  (pfn 0x1000 + 0xe43 pages)

xc_dom_build_image  : virt_alloc_end : 0xffffffffa26e2000
xc_dom_build_image  : virt_pgtab_end : 0xffffffffa2800000

So the physical memory and virtual (using __START_KERNEL_map addresses)
layout looks as so:

  phys                             __ka
/------------\                   /-------------------\
| 0          | empty             | 0xffffffff80000000|

\------------/                   \-------------------/

As can be seen, the ramdisk, P2M and pagetables are taking
a bit of __ka addresses space. Which is a problem since the
MODULES_VADDR starts at 0xffffffffa0000000 - and P2M sits
right in there! This results during bootup with the inability to
load modules, with this error:

vmalloc: allocation failure, allocated 16384 of 20480 bytes
modprobe: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0xd2

Since the __va and __ka are 1:1 up to MODULES_VADDR and
cleanup_highmap rids __ka of the ramdisk mapping, what
we want to do is similar - get rid of the P2M in the __ka
address space. There are two ways of fixing this:

 1) All P2M lookups instead of using the __ka address would
    use the __va address. This means we can safely erase from
    __ka space the PMD pointers that point to the PFNs for
    P2M array and be OK.
 2). Allocate a new array, copy the existing P2M into it,
    revector the P2M tree to use that, and return the old
    P2M to the memory allocate. This has the advantage that
    it sets the stage for using XEN_ELF_NOTE_INIT_P2M
    feature. That feature allows us to set the exact virtual
    address space we want for the P2M - and allows us to
    boot as initial domain on large machines.

So we pick option 2).

This patch only lays the groundwork in the P2M code. The patch
that modifies the MMU is called "xen/mmu: Copy and revector the P2M tree."

David Vrabel 83d51ab473 xen/setup: update VA mapping when releasing memory during setup
In xen_memory_setup(), if a page that is being released has a VA
mapping this must also be updated.  Otherwise, the page will be not
released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be
freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being
reallocated at a different PFN.

This was already being done for the ISA memory region in
xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages
as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as
reserved in the e820 map.

This fixes errors such as:

(XEN) page_alloc.c:1148:d0 Over-allocation for domain 0: 2097153 > 2097152

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 41f2e4771a xen: add support for PAT
Convert Linux PAT entries into Xen ones when constructing ptes.  Linux
doesn't use _PAGE_PAT for ptes, so the only difference in the first 4
entries is that Linux uses _PAGE_PWT for WC, whereas Xen (and default)
use it for WT.

xen_pte_val does the inverse conversion.

We hard-code assumptions about Linux's current PAT layout, but a
warning on the wrmsr to MSR_IA32_CR_PAT should point out any problems.
If necessary we could go to a more general table-based conversion between
Linux and Xen PAT entries.

hugetlbfs poses a problem at the moment, the x86 architecture uses the
same flag for _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PSE, which changes meaning depending
on which pagetable level we're using.  At the moment this should be OK
so long as nobody tries to do a pte_val on a hugetlbfs pte.

Set the callback to receive evtchns from Xen, using the

The traditional way for receiving event channel notifications from Xen
is via the interrupts from the platform PCI device.
The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive
notifications on any vcpu and doesn't need any PCI support: we allocate
a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

            xen: split construction of p2m mfn tables from registration

            Build the p2m_mfn_list_list early with the rest of the p2m table, but

The unforeseen side-effect of this change was to cause the mfn list list to not

xen_post_suspend() -> xen_setup_shared_info() -> xen_setup_mfn_list_list().

Fix by explicitly calling xen_build_mfn_list_list() from xen_post_suspend().

Ian Campbell be012920ec xen: re-register runstate area earlier on resume.
This is necessary to ensure the runstate area is available to
xen_sched_clock before any calls to printk which will require it in
order to provide a timestamp.

I chose to pull the xen_setup_runstate_info out of xen_time_init into
the caller in order to maintain parity with calling
xen_setup_runstate_info separately from calling xen_time_resume.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge b4ecc12699 x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels
Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.

It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

 | commit 8efcbab674
 | Date:   Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
 |
 |     paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation

The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test).  The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons).  This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions.  But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).

If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).

Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:

		nopv		Pv-nospin	Pv-spin
CPU cycles	100.00%		99.89%		102.18%
instructions	100.00%		100.10%		100.15%
CPI		100.00%		99.79%		102.03%
cache ref	100.00%		100.84%		100.28%
cache miss	100.00%		90.47%		88.56%
cache miss rate	100.00%		89.72%		88.31%
branches	100.00%		99.93%		100.04%
branch miss	100.00%		103.66%		107.72%
branch miss rt	100.00%		103.73%		107.67%
wallclock	100.00%		99.90%		102.20%

The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.

(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates.  Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined.  On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)

So, what's the fix?

Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls.  For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:

<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq  *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>:	nop; nop		/* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled).  That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case.  The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.

The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks.  Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin).  Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge b407fc57b8 x86/paravirt: flush pending mmu updates on context switch
Impact: allow preemption during lazy mmu updates

If we're in lazy mmu mode when context switching, leave
lazy mmu mode, but remember the task's state in
TIF_LAZY_MMU_UPDATES.  When we resume the task, check this
flag and re-enter lazy mmu mode if its set.

This sets things up for allowing lazy mmu mode while preemptible,
though that won't actually be active until the next change.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 383414322b xen: setup percpu data pointers
We need to access percpu data fairly early, so set up the percpu
registers as soon as possible.  We only need to load the appropriate
segment register.  We already have a GDT, but its hard to change it
early because we need to manipulate the pagetable to do so, and that
hasn't been set up yet.

Also, set the kernel stack when bringing up secondary CPUs.  If we
don't they all end up sharing the same stack...
