based frontends. Currently the frontends which implement
similar code for sharing big buffers between frontend and
backend are para-virtualized DRM and sound drivers.
Both define the same way to share grant references of a
data buffer with the corresponding backend with little
differences.
Move shared code into a helper module, so there is a single
implementation of the same functionality for all.
This patch introduces code which is used by sound and display
frontend drivers without functional changes with the intention
to remove shared code from the corresponding drivers.

For passing arbitrary data from user land to the Xen hypervisor the
Xen tools today are using mlock()ed buffers. Unfortunately the kernel
might change access rights of such buffers for brief periods of time
e.g. for page migration or compaction, leading to access faults in the
hypervisor, as the hypervisor can't use the locks of the kernel.
In order to solve this problem add a new device node to the Xen privcmd
driver to easily allocate hypercall buffers via mmap(). The memory is
allocated in the kernel and just mapped into user space. Marked as
VM_IO the user mapping will not be subject to page migration et al.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Commit 971a69db7d ("Xen: don't warn about 2-byte wchar_t in efi")
added the --no-wchar-size-warning to the Makefile to avoid this
harmless warning:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: drivers/xen/efi.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail
Changing kbuild to use thin archives instead of recursive linking
unfortunately brings the same warning back during the final link.
The kernel does not use wchar_t string literals at this point, and
xen does not use wchar_t at all (only efi_char16_t), so the flag
has no effect, but as pointed out by Jan Beulich, adding a wchar_t
string literal would be bad here.
Since wchar_t is always defined as u16, independent of the toolchain
default, always passing -fshort-wchar is correct and lets us
remove the Xen specific hack along with fixing the warning.

The XEN UEFI code has become available on the ARM architecture
recently, but now causes a link-time warning:
ld: warning: drivers/xen/efi.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail
This seems harmless, because the efi code only uses 2-byte
characters when interacting with EFI, so we don't pass on those
strings to elsewhere in the system, and we just need to
silence the warning.
It is not clear to me whether we actually need to build the file
with the -fshort-wchar flag, but if we do, then we should also
pass --no-wchar-size-warning to the linker, to avoid the warning.

"This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64

- SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)
- ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)
ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This
has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
kernel. This pull request is the result of that work.
These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course,
there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
series has been merged.
Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
-next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly
half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.
So, we'll see how this goes. Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"

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.

Introduces the Xen pvSCSI backend. With pvSCSI it is possible for a
Xen domU to issue SCSI commands to a SCSI LUN assigned to that
domU. The SCSI commands are passed to the pvSCSI backend in a driver
domain (usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device. This
allows e.g. to use SCSI tape drives in a Xen domU.
The code is taken from the pvSCSI implementation in Xen done by
Fujitsu based on Linux kernel 2.6.18.
Changes from the original version are:
- port to upstream kernel
- put all code in just one source file
- adapt to Linux style guide
- use target core infrastructure instead doing pure pass-through
- enable module unloading
- support SG-list in grant page(s)
- support task abort
- remove redundant struct backend

This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. 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.

For booting existed cpus, the driver enumerates them.
For hotadded cpus, which added at runtime and notify OS via
device or container event, the driver is invoked to add them,
parsing cpu information, hypercalling to Xen hypervisor to add
them, and finally setting up new /sys interface for them.

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.

While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).
Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

Bug-fixes:

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.

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).

and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert

By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,

This driver solves three problems:
1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.
The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
transitions.
For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.
Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.
Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.
There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

drivers/xen/Kconfig
This is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/pci/xen-pcifront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs.
The PV protocol is rather simple. There is page shared with the guest,
which has the 'struct xen_pci_sharedinfo' embossed in it. The backend
has a thread that is kicked every-time the structure is changed and
based on the operation field it performs specific tasks:
XEN_PCI_OP_conf_[read|write]:
Read/Write 0xCF8/0xCFC filtered data. (conf_space*.c)
Based on which field is probed, we either enable/disable the PCI
device, change power state, read VPD, etc. The major goal of this
call is to provide a Physical IRQ (PIRQ) to the guest.
The PIRQ is Xen hypervisor global IRQ value irrespective of the IRQ
is tied in to the IO-APIC, or is a vector. For GSI type
interrupts, the PIRQ==GSI holds. For MSI/MSI-X the
PIRQ value != Linux IRQ number (thought PIRQ==vector).
Please note, that with Xen, all interrupts (except those level shared ones)
are injected directly to the guest - there is no host interaction.
XEN_PCI_OP_[enable|disable]_msi[|x] (pciback_ops.c)
Enables/disables the MSI/MSI-X capability of the device. These operations
setup the MSI/MSI-X vectors for the guest and pass them to the frontend.
When the device is activated, the interrupts are directly injected in the
guest without involving the host.
XEN_PCI_OP_aer_[detected|resume|mmio|slotreset]: In case of failure,
perform the appropriate AER commands on the guest. Right now that is
a cop-out - we just kill the guest.
Besides implementing those commands, it can also
- hide a PCI device from the host. When booting up, the user can specify
xen-pciback.hide=(1:0:0)(BDF..) so that host does not try to use the
device.
The driver was lifted from linux-2.6.18.hg tree and fixed up
so that it could compile under v3.0. Per suggestion from Jesse Barnes
moved the driver to drivers/xen/xen-pciback.

This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory
("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both
use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization.
Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal
value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean
page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where
Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine.
Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap,
driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when
in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs.
More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.
