xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requests

2013-04-05T17:04:18Z

commit 0e367ae46503cfe7791460c8ba8434a5d60b2bd5 upstream. If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request, the request was not translated and the response would have the incorrect ID. This may cause the frontend driver to behave incorrectly or crash. Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place, regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP). This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend. This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would be invalid.

Pull xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: "which has three neat features: - PV multiconsole support, so that there can be hvc1, hvc2, etc; This can be used in HVM and in PV mode. - P-state and C-state power management driver that uploads said power management data to the hypervisor. It also inhibits cpufreq scaling drivers to load so that only the hypervisor can make power management decisions - fixing a weird perf bug. There is one thing in the Kconfig that you won't like: "default y if (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ = y || X86_POWERNOW_K8 = y)" (note, that it all depends on CONFIG_XEN which depends on CONFIG_PARAVIRT which by default is off). I've a fix to convert that boolean expression into "default m" which I am going to post after the cpufreq git pull - as the two patches to make this work depend on a fix in Dave Jones's tree. - Function Level Reset (FLR) support in the Xen PCI backend.

xen: support pirq_eoi_map

2012-03-20T19:34:07Z

The pirq_eoi_map is a bitmap offered by Xen to check which pirqs need to be EOI'd without having to issue an hypercall every time. We use PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn_v2 to map the bitmap, then if we succeed we use pirq_eoi_map to check whether pirqs need eoi. Changes in v3: - explicitly use PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn_v2 rather than PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn; - introduce pirq_check_eoi_map, a function to check if a pirq needs an eoi using the map; -rename pirq_needs_eoi into pirq_needs_eoi_flag; - introduce a function pointer called pirq_needs_eoi that is going to be set to the right implementation depending on the availability of PHYSDEVOP_pirq_eoi_gmfn_v2.

xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.

2012-03-14T16:35:42Z

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.

xen/enlighten: Expose MWAIT and MWAIT_LEAF if hypervisor OKs it.

2012-03-10T17:44:44Z

For the hypervisor to take advantage of the MWAIT support it needs to extract from the ACPI _CST the register address. But the hypervisor does not have the support to parse DSDT so it relies on the initial domain (dom0) to parse the ACPI Power Management information and push it up to the hypervisor. The pushing of the data is done by the processor_harveset_xen module which parses the information that the ACPI parser has graciously exposed in 'struct acpi_processor'. For the ACPI parser to also expose the Cx states for MWAIT, we need to expose the MWAIT capability (leaf 1). Furthermore we also need to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability (leaf 5) for cstate.c to properly function. The hypervisor could expose these flags when it traps the XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX operations, but it can't do it since it needs to be backwards compatible. Instead we choose to use the native CPUID to figure out if the MWAIT capability exists and use the XEN_SET_PDC query hypercall to figure out if the hypervisor wants us to expose the MWAIT_LEAF capability or not. Note: The XEN_SET_PDC query was implemented in c/s 23783: "ACPI: add _PDC input override mechanism". With this in place, instead of C3 ACPI IOPORT 415 we get now C3:ACPI FFH INTEL MWAIT 0x20 Note: The cpu_idle which would be calling the mwait variants for idling never gets set b/c we set the default pm_idle to be the hypercall variant.
