      xen: time implementation · 15c84731
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      Xen maintains a base clock which measures nanoseconds since system
      boot.  This is provided to guests via a shared page which contains a
      base time in ns, a tsc timestamp at that point and tsc frequency
      parameters.  Guests can compute the current time by reading the tsc
      and using it to extrapolate the current time from the basetime.  The
      hypervisor makes sure that the frequency parameters are updated
      regularly, paricularly if the tsc changes rate or stops.
      
      This is implemented as a clocksource, so the interface to the rest of
      the kernel is a simple clocksource which simply returns the current
      time directly in nanoseconds.
      
      Xen also provides a simple timer mechanism, which allows a timeout to
      be set in the future.  When that time arrives, a timer event is sent
      to the guest.  There are two timer interfaces:
       - An old one which also delivers a stream of (unused) ticks at 100Hz,
         and on the same event, the actual timer events.  The 100Hz ticks
         cause a lot of spurious wakeups, but are basically harmless.
       - The new timer interface doesn't have the 100Hz ticks, and can also
         fail if the specified time is in the past.
      
      This code presents the Xen timer as a clockevent driver, and uses the
      new interface by preference.

      xen: event channels · e46cdb66
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels.  Each guest
      domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of
      purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events,
      inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs.
      
      Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement
      the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip.
      
      Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to
      accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and
      IRQs.  Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically
      allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between
      event channels and irqs.

      xen: virtual mmu · 3b827c1b
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      Xen pagetable handling, including the machinery to implement direct
      pagetables.
      
      Xen presents the real CPU's pagetables directly to guests, with no
      added shadowing or other layer of abstraction.  Naturally this means
      the hypervisor must maintain close control over what the guest can put
      into the pagetable.
      
      When the guest modifies the pte/pmd/pgd, it must convert its
      domain-specific notion of a "physical" pfn into a global machine frame
      number (mfn) before inserting the entry into the pagetable.  Xen will
      check to make sure the domain is allowed to create a mapping of the
      given mfn.
      
      Xen also requires that all mappings the guest has of its own active
      pagetable are read-only.  This is relatively easy to implement in
      Linux because all pagetables share the same pte pages for kernel
      mappings, so updating the pte in one pagetable will implicitly update
      the mapping in all pagetables.
      
      Normally a pagetable becomes active when you point to it with cr3 (or
      the Xen equivalent), but when you do so, Xen must check the whole
      pagetable for correctness, which is clearly a performance problem.
      
      Xen solves this with pinning which keeps a pagetable effectively
      active even if its currently unused, which means that all the normal
      update rules are enforced.  This means that it need not revalidate the
      pagetable when loading cr3.
      
      This patch has a first-cut implementation of pinning, but it is more
      fully implemented in a later patch.

      xen: Core Xen implementation · 5ead97c8
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen
      implementation, including:
       - booting and setup
       - pagetable setup
       - privileged instructions
       - segmentation
       - interrupt flags
       - upcalls
       - multicall batching
      
      BOOTING AND SETUP
      
      The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen
      domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder
      then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel.
      
      Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note).
      The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S.
      In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke
      lots of binutils bugs.
      
      Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state
      (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's
      not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper.  The main
      steps are:
        1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a
           structure assignment.
        2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the
           head.S generated pagetables in a native boot).
        3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top
           of the address space for its own use.
        4. Call start_kernel()
      
      PAGETABLE SETUP
      
      Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back
      via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state.  One
      of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the
      construction of the initial init_mm pagetable.  Because Xen places
      tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be
      valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we
      need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these
      constraints in mind.  It turns out that the easiest way to do this is
      use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just
      insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist.
      
      This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of
      xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as
      read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but
      lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set
      properly.
      
      PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION
      
      When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0.
      This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it
      still can't run privileged instructions directly.  Non-performance
      critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception
      and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but
      more performance-critical instructions have their own specific
      paravirt_ops.  In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls
      for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different
      from the normal native version.
      
      The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of:
        Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT,
           TLS and so on.  Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly
           modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new
           entries can be validated.  This is important because Xen uses
           segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the
           hypervisor itself.
        Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints,
           so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be
           converted to the form Xen expects.  Xen sets int 0x80 up specially
           so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel
           without going via the hypervisor.  sysenter isn't supported.
        Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to
           Xen.
        TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding
           Xen hypercalls.
        Control registers: all the control registers are privileged.  The most
           important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable,
           and we handle it specially.
      
      Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not
      privileged.  We want to control what CPU features are visible to the
      rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op.
      Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems.
      
      INTERRUPT FLAGS
      
      Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is
      contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure.  Because the guest
      kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely
      ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables
      interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall).
      
      (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively
      synonymous.  However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a
      "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.)
      
      There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which
      are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state.  The only thing
      worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly
      see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make
      sure it gets delivered.
      
      UPCALLS
      
      Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented
      by each guest.  One is the event upcalls, which is how events
      (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests.  The other is
      the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either
      reloading a segment register, or caused by iret.  These are
      implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal
      iret_exc path when necessary.
      
      MULTICALL BATCHING
      
      Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls
      to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into
      the hypervisor.  This is particularly useful for context switches,
      since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update
      TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one.  This patch implements a
      generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many
      places in the Xen code.

      Add the "nosegneg" fake capabilty to the vsyscall page notes. This is
      used by the runtime linker to select a glibc version which then
      disables negative-offset accesses to the thread-local segment via
      %gs. These accesses require emulation in Xen (because segments are
      truncated to protect the hypervisor address space) and avoiding them
      provides a measurable performance boost.

      Add a sched_clock paravirt_op · 688340ea
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for
      Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds.
      
      This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which
      matches both Xen and VMI's requirements.
      
      In order to do this, we:
         1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock
         2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header
         3. update vmi accordingly
      
      One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak
      function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to
      override this weak binding.  This means the usual paravirt_ops
      technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

      Add common orderly_poweroff() · 10a0a8d4

      Various pieces of code around the kernel want to be able to trigger an

      This patch replaces four other instances of invoking either "poweroff"
      or "shutdown -h now": two sbus drivers, and acpi thermal

      This patch introduces wrappers for all the existing calling styles for
      call_usermodehelper_*, but folds their implementations into one.

      add argv_split() · d84d1cc7
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
      whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector.  This is
      deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
      
      [ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
        the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
        steal or replace.  Keep an eye out. ]

      add kstrndup · 1e66df3e
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
      Add a kstrndup function, modelled on strndup.  Like strndup this
      returns a string copied into its own allocated memory, but it copies
      no more than the specified number of bytes from the source.
      
      Remove private strndup() from irda code.

      zs: move to the serial subsystem · 8b4a4080
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      This is a reimplementation of the zs driver for the serial subsystem.  Any
      resemblance to the old driver is purely coincidential.  ;-) I do hope I got
      the handling of modem lines right -- better do not tackle me about the
      issue unless you feel too good...
      
      Any users of the old driver: please note the numbers of the serial lines
      have now been swapped, i.e.  ttyS0 <-> ttyS1 and ttyS2 <-> ttyS3.  It has
      to do with the modem lines mentioned above; basically the port A in a given
      chip has to be initialised before the port B if you want to use the latter
      as the serial console (which is usually the case), as operations on modem
      lines of the serial line associated with the port B access both ports (see
      the comment at the top of the driver for the details of wiring used).
      Please update your scripts.
      
      This is also the reason each SCC now requests an IRQ once only (as seen in
      "/proc/interrupts") -- the handler takes care of both ports at once as the
      line associated with the port B has to take status update interrupts from
      both ports (and yet the line of the port A takes its own for itself too).
      The old driver never got it right...

      dm: fix memory leak in dm_create_persistent() when starting metadata update thread fails · 851a8a7f
      Jesper Juhl authored
      If, in dm_create_persistent(), the call to create_singlethread_workqueue()
      fails then we'll return without freeing the memory allocated to 'ps', thus
      leaking sizeof(struct pstore) bytes.  This patch fixes the leak.
