x86/xen: Support kexec/kdump in HVM guests by doing a soft reset

2015-10-28T02:13:13Z

[ Upstream commit 0b34a166f291d255755be46e43ed5497cdd194f2 ] Currently there is a number of issues preventing PVHVM Xen guests from doing successful kexec/kdump: - Bound event channels. - Registered vcpu_info. - PIRQ/emuirq mappings. - shared_info frame after XENMAPSPACE_shared_info operation. - Active grant mappings. Basically, newly booted kernel stumbles upon already set up Xen interfaces and there is no way to reestablish them. In Xen-4.7 a new feature called 'soft reset' is coming. A guest performing kexec/kdump operation is supposed to call SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with SHUTDOWN_soft_reset reason before jumping to new kernel. Hypervisor (with some help from toolstack) will do full domain cleanup (but keeping its memory and vCPU contexts intact) returning the guest to the state it had when it was first booted and thus allowing it to start over. Doing SHUTDOWN_soft_reset on Xen hypervisors which don't support it is probably OK as by default all unknown shutdown reasons cause domain destroy with a message in toolstack log: 'Unknown shutdown reason code 5. Destroying domain.' which gives a clue to what the problem is and eliminates false expectations. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov Cc: Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

xen: sync some headers with xen tree

2014-10-03T11:34:52Z

To be able to use an initially unmapped initrd with xen the following header files must be synced to a newer version from the xen tree: include/xen/interface/elfnote.h include/xen/interface/xen.h As the KEXEC and DUMPCORE related ELFNOTES are not relevant for the kernel they are omitted from elfnote.h.

xen: Add Xen pvSCSI protocol description

2014-09-23T13:36:19Z

Add the definition of pvSCSI protocol used between the pvSCSI frontend in a XEN domU and the pvSCSI backend in a XEN driver domain (usually Dom0). This header was originally provided by Fujitsu for Xen based on Linux 2.6.18. Changes are: - Added comments. - Adapt to Linux style guide. - Add support for larger SG-lists by putting them in an own granted page. - Remove stale definitions.

xen/arm: introduce XENFEAT_grant_map_identity

2014-09-11T18:11:52Z

The flag tells us that the hypervisor maps a grant page to guest physical address == machine address of the page in addition to the normal grant mapping address. It is needed to properly issue cache maintenance operation at the completion of a DMA operation involving a foreign grant. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Tested-by: Denis Schneider

Merge branch 'for-3.16/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block into next

2014-06-02T20:57:01Z

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: "Now that the core bits are in, here's the pull request for the driver related changes for 3.16. Nothing out of the ordinary here, mostly business as usual. There are a few pulls of for-3.16/core into this branch, which were done when the blk-mq was modified after the mtip32xx conversion was put in. The pull request contains: - skd and cciss converted to use pci_enable_msix_exact(). From Alexander Gordeev. - A few mtip32xx fixes from Asai @ Micron. - The conversion of mtip32xx from make_request_fn to blk-mq, and a later small fix for that conversion on quiescing for non-queued IO. From me. - A fix for bsg to use an exported function to check whether this driver is request based or not. Needed updating for blk-mq, which is request based, but does not have a request_fn hook. From me. - Small floppy bug fix from Jiri. - A series of cleanups for the cdrom uniform layer from Joe Perches. Gets rid of various old ugly macros, making the code conform more to the modern coding style. - A series of patches for drbd from the drbd crew (Lars Ellenberg and Philipp Reisner). - A use-after-free fix for null_blk from Ming Lei. - Also from Ming Lei is a performance patch for virtio-blk, which can net us a 3x win on kvm platforms where world notification is expensive. - Ming Lei also fixed a stall issue in virtio-blk, due to a race between queue start/stop and resource limits. - A small batch of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Olaf Hering and Valentin Priescu" * 'for-3.16/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (54 commits) block: virtio_blk: don't hold spin lock during world switch xen-blkback: defer freeing blkif to avoid blocking xenwatch xen blkif.h: fix comment typo in discard-alignment xen/blkback: disable discard feature if requested by toolstack xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discard floppy: do not corrupt bio.bi_flags when reading block 0 mtip32xx: move error handling to service thread virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queue mtip32xx: stop block hardware queues before quiescing IO mtip32xx: blk_mq_init_queue() returns an ERR_PTR mtip32xx: convert to use blk-mq cdrom: Remove unnecessary prototype for cdrom_get_disc_info cdrom: Remove unnecessary prototype for cdrom_mrw_exit cdrom: Remove cdrom_count_tracks prototype cdrom: Remove cdrom_get_next_writeable prototype cdrom: Remove cdrom_get_last_written prototype cdrom: Move mmc_ioctls above cdrom_ioctl to remove unnecessary prototype cdrom: Remove unnecessary sanitize_format prototype cdrom: Remove unnecessary check_for_audio_disc prototype cdrom: Remove prototype for open_for_data ...

arm: xen: implement multicall hypercall support.

2014-04-24T12:09:46Z

As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long. This change has no impact on x86. The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM. Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition. Build tested on amd64 and i386 builds. Runtime tested on ARM. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Cc: Stefano Stabellini Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: David Vrabel
