xen/events: Handle VIRQ_TIMER before any other hardirq in event loop.

This avoids any other hardirq handler seeing a very stale jiffies value immediately after wakeup from a long idle period. The one observable symptom of this was a USB keyboard, with software keyboard repeat, which would always repeat a key immediately that it was pressed. This is due to the key press waking the guest, the key handler immediately runs, sees an old jiffies value, and then that jiffies value significantly updated, before the key is unpressed.

xen/events: avoid race with raising an event in unmask_evtchn()

2013-03-27T16:06:04Z

In unmask_evtchn(), when the mask bit is cleared after testing for pending and the event becomes pending between the test and clear, then the upcall will not become pending and the event may be lost or delayed. Avoid this by always clearing the mask bit before checking for pending. If a hypercall is needed, remask the event as EVTCHNOP_unmask will only retrigger pending events if they were masked. This fixes a regression introduced in 3.7 by b5e579232d635b79a3da052964cb357ccda8d9ea (xen/events: fix unmask_evtchn for PV on HVM guests) which reordered the clear mask and check pending operations. Changes in v2: - set mask before hypercall. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/acpi-stub: Disable it b/c the acpi_processor_add is no longer called.

2013-03-27T16:06:02Z

With the Xen ACPI stub code (CONFIG_XEN_STUB=y) enabled, the power C and P states are no longer uploaded to the hypervisor. The reason is that the Xen CPU hotplug code: xen-acpi-cpuhotplug.c and the xen-acpi-stub.c register themselves as the "processor" type object. That means the generic processor (processor_driver.c) stops working and it does not call (acpi_processor_add) which populates the per_cpu(processors, pr->id) = pr; structure. The 'pr' is gathered from the acpi_processor_get_info function which does the job of finding the C-states and figuring out PBLK address. The 'processors->pr' is then later used by xen-acpi-processor.c (the one that uploads C and P states to the hypervisor). Since it is NULL, we end skip the gathering of _PSD, _PSS, _PCT, etc and never upload the power management data. The end result is that enabling the CONFIG_XEN_STUB in the build means that xen-acpi-processor is not working anymore. This temporary patch fixes it by marking the XEN_STUB driver as BROKEN until this can be properly fixed. CC: jinsong.liu@intel.com Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guests

2013-03-22T14:20:55Z

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway. This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI: add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

xen/acpi-processor: Don't dereference struct acpi_processor on all CPUs.

2013-03-22T12:23:11Z

With git commit c705c78c0d0835a4aa5d0d9a3422e3218462030c "acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info" we are now using a different mechanism to access the P-states. The acpi_processor per-cpu structure is set and filtered by the core ACPI code which shrinks the per_cpu contents to only online CPUs. In the past we would call acpi_processor_register_performance() which would have not tried to dereference offline cpus. With the new patch and the fact that the loop we take is for for_all_possible_cpus we end up crashing on some machines. We could modify the loop to be for online_cpus - but all the other loops in the code use possible_cpus (for a good reason) - so lets leave it as so and just check if per_cpu(processor) is NULL. With this patch we will bypass the !online but possible CPUs.

acpi: Export the acpi_processor_get_performance_info

2013-03-06T15:00:34Z

The git commit d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8 (cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function) tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq() had been called. The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance, acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22. Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq(). This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor. In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8 added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing: "Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported" and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set. The repercussions of that is that the call to acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at: if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED)) and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P* objects. The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so. Acked-by: Rafael J.
