2011-09-29xen: remove XEN_PLATFORM_PCI config optionStefano Stabellini
Xen PVHVM needs xen-platform-pci, on the other hand xen-platform-pci is useless in any other cases. Therefore remove the XEN_PLATFORM_PCI config option and compile xen-platform-pci built-in if XEN_PVHVM is selected. Changes to v1: - remove xen-platform-pci.o and just use platform-pci.o since it is not externally visible anymore.

2011-07-19xen/pciback: xen pci backend driver.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
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.

2011-07-08xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinkingDan Magenheimer
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.

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem). Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages, and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency, full save/restore and live migration support, compression and deduplication.

2010-07-27swiotlb-xen: SWIOTLB library for Xen PV guest with PCI passthrough.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
This patchset: PV guests under Xen are running in an non-contiguous memory architecture. When PCI pass-through is utilized, this necessitates an IOMMU for translating bus (DMA) to virtual and vice-versa and also providing a mechanism to have contiguous pages for device drivers operations (say DMA operations). Specifically, under Xen the Linux idea of pages is an illusion. It assumes that pages start at zero and go up to the available memory. To help with that, the Linux Xen MMU provides a lookup mechanism to translate the page frame numbers (PFN) to machine frame numbers (MFN) and vice-versa. The MFN are the "real" frame numbers. Furthermore memory is not contiguous. Xen hypervisor stitches memory for guests from different pools, which means there is no guarantee that PFN==MFN and PFN+1==MFN+1. Lastly with Xen 4.0, pages (in debug mode) are allocated in descending order (high to low), meaning the guest might never get any MFN's under the 4GB mark.

2010-07-22xen: Xen PCI platform device driver.Stefano Stabellini
Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode. Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed initialization in HVM mode. Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode. The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0. The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests. When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning. For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some event channel deliveries.

2009-09-09xen: make -fstack-protector work under XenJeremy Fitzhardinge
-fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value. gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun. On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited.
