2021-04-23xen: Remove support for PV ACPI cpu/memory hotplugBoris Ostrovsky
Commit 76fc253723ad ("xen/acpi-stub: Disable it b/c the acpi_processor_add is no longer called.") declared as BROKEN support for Xen ACPI stub (which is required for xen-acpi-{cpu|memory}-hotplug) and suggested that this is temporary and will be soon fixed. This was in March 2013. Further, commit cfafae940381 ("xen: rename dom0_op to platform_op") renamed an interface used by memory hotplug code without updating that code (as it was BROKEN and therefore not compiled). This was in November 2015 and has gone unnoticed for over 5 year. It is now clear that this code is of no interest to anyone and therefore should be removed.

2020-12-16xen: Remove Xen PVH/PVHVM dependency on PCIJason Andryuk
A Xen PVH domain doesn't have a PCI bus or devices, so it doesn't need PCI support built in. Currently, XEN_PVH depends on XEN_PVHVM which depends on PCI. Introduce XEN_PVHVM_GUEST as a toplevel item and change XEN_PVHVM to a hidden variable. This allows XEN_PVH to depend on XEN_PVHVM without PCI while XEN_PVHVM_GUEST depends on PCI. In drivers/xen, compile platform-pci depending on XEN_PVHVM_GUEST since that pulls in the PCI dependency for linking.

2020-09-04xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memoryRoger Pau Monne
To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to create foreign mappings. The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing {alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of regions. If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend on memory hotplug. Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally. For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile. No problem report so far about hard-coding this option.

2020-06-11x86/entry: Switch XEN/PV hypercall entry to IDTENTRYThomas Gleixner
Convert the XEN/PV hypercall to IDTENTRY: - Emit the ASM stub with DECLARE_IDTENTRY - Remove the ASM idtentry in 64-bit - Remove the open coded ASM entry code in 32-bit - Remove the old prototypes The handler stubs need to stay in ASM code as they need corner case handling and adjustment of the stack pointer. Provide a new C function which invokes the entry/exit handling and calls into the XEN handler on the interrupt stack if required. The exit code is slightly different from the regular idtentry_exit() on non-preemptible kernels. If the hypercall is preemptible and need_resched() is set then XEN provides a preempt hypercall scheduling function. Move this functionality into the entry code so it can use the existing idtentry functionality.

2019-03-05xen: remove pre-xen3 fallback handlersArnd Bergmann
The legacy hypercall handlers were originally added with a comment explaining that "copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op() and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently safe" and only made sure to not write past the end of the argument structure, the checks in linux/string.h disagree with that, when link-time optimizations are used: In function 'memcpy', inlined from 'pirq_query_unmask' at drivers/xen/fallback.c:53:2, inlined from '__startup_pirq' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:529:2, inlined from 'restore_pirqs' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1439:3, inlined from 'xen_irq_resume' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1581:2: include/linux/string.h:350:3: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter __read_overflow2(); ^ Further research turned out that only Xen 3.0.2 or earlier required the fallback at all, while all versions in use today don't need it. As far as I can tell, it is not even possible to run a mainline kernel on those old Xen releases, at the time when they were in use, only a patched kernel was supported anyway.

2018-06-22xen: add new hypercall buffer mapping deviceJuergen Gross
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.

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.

2017-08-21Kbuild: use -fshort-wchar globallyArnd Bergmann
Commit 971a69db7dc0 ("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.

We don't support any peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope: - MEMORY init (UEFI) - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI) - CPU init (FADT) - GIC init (MADT) - 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.

Note that on arm and arm64, the correct error code will be returned (instead of always -EFAULT) and map/unmap failure warnings are no longer printed. These changes are required if the foreign domain is paging (-ENOENT failures are expected and must be propagated up to the caller).

2015-02-23x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preemptedDavid Vrabel
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.

2014-09-23xen-scsiback: Add Xen PV SCSI backend driverJuergen Gross
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 - allocate resources dynamically - correct minor error in scsiback_fast_flush_area - free allocated resources in case of error during I/O preparation - remove CDB emulation, now handled by target core infrastructure Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
2014-07-18xen: Put EFI machinery in placeDaniel Kiper
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.

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.

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.

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).

2012-03-14xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
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.
