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

x86/xen: allow privcmd hypercalls to be preempted

2015-07-21T01:12:45Z

[ Upstream commit db0e2aa47f0a45fc56592c25ad370f8836cbb128 ] Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall has many sub-operations. A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall called from a hypercall continuation. However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is complete and the ioctl returns to user space. These long running tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection. Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to bracket hypercalls that may be preempted. Use these in the privcmd driver. When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible hypercall. Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call.

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

2015-06-09T17:43:54Z

[ Upstream commit 77bb3dfdc0d554befad58fdefbc41be5bc3ed38a ] 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 Cc: Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

xen: remove DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro

2014-10-06T09:27:57Z

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse errors. Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is similar to pci and usb device registration. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

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/events: support threaded irqs for interdomain event channels

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
