xen: Add xen_arch_suspend()

2018-06-16T21:22:30Z

This is based on commit 2b953a5e994ce279904ec70220f7d4f31d380a0a upstream, "xen: Suspend ticks on all CPUs during suspend", but excluding the bug fix in that commit which is not needed in 3.16. We only need the xen_arch_suspend() hook for the following fix. Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

xen: Add RING_COPY_REQUEST()

2016-01-25T10:43:42Z

commit 454d5d882c7e412b840e3c99010fe81a9862f6fb upstream. Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly (i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request generally requires taking a local copy. Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible compiler optimizations. Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or omitting the copy. This is part of XSA155. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques

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

2015-10-30T13:59:27Z

commit 0b34a166f291d255755be46e43ed5497cdd194f2 upstream. 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.

xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

2015-06-02T11:08:17Z

commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a upstream. A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different VCPU than it is bound to. This can result in a race between handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock. The interrupt handler sees a NULL action and oopses. Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER). # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq 40: 87246 0 xen-percpu-virq timer0 44: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0 47: 0 20995 xen-percpu-virq timer1 51: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug1 69: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq xen-pcpu 74: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq mce 75: 29 0 xen-dyn-virq hvc_console Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques

x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context

2014-07-30T13:22:47Z

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep. Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable lazy MMU mode. These two functions are only used in PV guests. Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in advance. Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

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 ...
