2021-01-26x86/xen: Support objtool vmlinux.o validation in xen-head.SJosh Poimboeuf
The Xen hypercall page is filled with zeros, causing objtool to fall through all the empty hypercall functions until it reaches a real function, resulting in a stack state mismatch. The build-time contents of the hypercall page don't matter because the page gets rewritten by the hypervisor. Make it more palatable to objtool by making each hypervisor function a true empty function, with nops and a return.

2020-08-11x86/xen: remove 32-bit Xen PV guest supportJuergen Gross
Xen is requiring 64-bit machines today and since Xen 4.14 it can be built without 32-bit PV guest support. There is no need to carry the burden of 32-bit PV guest support in the kernel any longer, as new guests can be either HVM or PVH, or they can use a 64 bit kernel. Remove the 32-bit Xen PV support from the kernel.

2020-03-30x86/xen: Make the secondary CPU idle tasks reliableMiroslav Benes
The unwinder reports the secondary CPU idle tasks' stack on XEN PV as unreliable, which affects at least live patching. cpu_initialize_context() sets up the context of the CPU through VCPUOP_initialise hypercall. After it is woken up, the idle task starts in cpu_bringup_and_idle() function and its stack starts at the offset right below pt_regs. The unwinder correctly detects the end of stack there but it is confused by NULL return address in the last frame. Introduce a wrapper in assembly, which just calls cpu_bringup_and_idle(). The return address is thus pushed on the stack and the wrapper contains the annotation hint for the unwinder regarding the stack state.

2020-03-30x86/xen: Make the boot CPU idle task reliableMiroslav Benes
The unwinder reports the boot CPU idle task's stack on XEN PV as unreliable, which affects at least live patching. There are two reasons for this. First, the task does not follow the x86 convention that its stack starts at the offset right below saved pt_regs. It allows the unwinder to easily detect the end of the stack and verify it. Second, startup_xen() function does not store the return address before jumping to xen_start_kernel() which confuses the unwinder. Amend both issues by moving the starting point of initial stack in startup_xen() and storing the return address before the jump, which is exactly what call instruction does.

2018-04-10xen/pvh: Indicate XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted to XenBoris Ostrovsky
Pre-4.17 kernels ignored start_info's rsdp_paddr pointer and instead relied on finding RSDP in standard location in BIOS RO memory. This has worked since that's where Xen used to place it. However, with recent Xen change (commit 4a5733771e6f ("libxl: put RSDP for PVH guest near 4GB")) it prefers to keep RSDP at a "non-standard" address. Even though as of commit b17d9d1df3c3 ("x86/xen: Add pvh specific rsdp address retrieval function") Linux is able to find RSDP, for back-compatibility reasons we need to indicate to Xen that we can handle this, an we do so by setting XENFEAT_linux_rsdp_unrestricted flag in ELF notes.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
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.

2015-08-20xen: eliminate scalability issues from initial mapping setupJuergen Gross
Direct Xen to place the initial P->M table outside of the initial mapping, as otherwise the 1G (implementation) / 2G (theoretical) restriction on the size of the initial mapping limits the amount of memory a domain can be handed initially. As the initial P->M table is copied rather early during boot to domain private memory and it's initial virtual mapping is dropped, the easiest way to avoid virtual address conflicts with other addresses in the kernel is to use a user address area for the virtual address of the initial P->M table. This allows us to just throw away the page tables of the initial mapping after the copy without having to care about address invalidation. It should be noted that this patch won't enable a pv-domain to USE more than 512 GB of RAM. It just enables it to be started with a P->M table covering more memory. This is especially important for being able to boot a Dom0 on a system with more than 512 GB memory.

PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities, such as running MMU updates in a HVM container. The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt, with modifications): "* the guest uses auto translate: - p2m is managed by Xen - pagetables are owned by the guest - mmu_update hypercall not available * it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation, * IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest. For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting callback vector." Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the assembler from putting null char after each string before \. This patch allows it to be configured and enabled. We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.

2009-02-13x86: use _types.h headers in asm where availableJeremy Fitzhardinge
In general, the only definitions that assembly files can use are in _types.S headers (where available), so convert them. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

2008-06-20xen: don't drop NX bitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Because NX is now enforced properly, we must put the hypercall page into the .text segment so that it is executable.

2008-06-02xen: add new Xen elfnote types and use them appropriatelyJeremy Fitzhardinge
Define recently added XEN_ELFNOTEs, and use them appropriately. Most significantly, this enables domain checkpointing (xm save -c). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-05-22xen: remove support for non-PAE 32-bitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.

2008-01-30xen: fix section usage in xen-head.S and setup.cSam Ravnborg
additional section for .init.text appending a number. A side effect of this was a section mismatch warning because modpost did not recognize a .init.text section named .init.text.1: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.head+0x247): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:start_kernel (between 'is386' and 'check_x87') Fix this by hardcoding the "ax" in the pushsection. Thanks to Torlaf for reporting this. Alan Modra provided the hint that made me able to locate the root cause of this warning. And Mike Frysinger told me how to properly fix it using __INIT/__FINIT. Fix following Section mismatch warning in addition: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14c8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:vsyscall_int80_start (between 'fiddle_vdso' and 'xen_setup_features') fiddle_vdso was only used from a __init function - so declare it __init.
