Add xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after
kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the
shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not
be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events
will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An
orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its
resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so
the missing unregister is not an issue in that case.
With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches
for the guest. However, a patch for xenstored is required so that it
accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset
23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored
the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM
guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated
kexec boots will fail.

This patch provide Xen physical cpus online/offline sys interface.
User can use it for their own purpose, like power saving:
by offlining some cpus when light workload it save power greatly.
Its basic workflow is, user online/offline cpu via sys interface,
then hypercall xen to implement, after done xen inject virq back to dom0,
and then dom0 sync cpu status.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.
By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.
To test follow directions outlined in Documentation/acpi/apei/einj.txt

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.
Fixes:
- Kconfig dependencies for Xen PV keyboard and video
- Compile warnings and constify fixes
- Change over to use percpu_xxx instead of this_cpu_xxx"

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.

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.
[v1-v2: Initial RFC implementations that were posted]
[v3: Changed the name to passthru suggested by Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>]
[v4: Added vCPU != pCPU support - aka dom0_max_vcpus support]

[v6: Changed the driver to a CPU frequency governor]
[v7: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> suggestion to make it a cpufreq scaling driver

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.

Haogang Chen found out that:
There is a potential integer overflow in process_msg() that could result
in cross-domain attack.
body = kmalloc(msg->hdr.len + 1, GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH);
When a malicious guest passes 0xffffffff in msg->hdr.len, the subsequent
call to xb_read() would write to a zero-length buffer.
The other end of this connection is always the xenstore backend daemon
so there is no guest (malicious or otherwise) which can do this. The
xenstore daemon is a trusted component in the system.
However this seem like a reasonable robustness improvement so we should
have it.
And Ian when read the API docs found that:
The payload length (len field of the header) is limited to 4096
(XENSTORE_PAYLOAD_MAX) in both directions. If a client exceeds the
limit, its xenstored connection will be immediately killed by
xenstored, which is usually catastrophic from the client's point of
view. Clients (particularly domains, which cannot just reconnect)
should avoid this.
so this patch checks against that instead.
This also avoids a potential integer overflow pointed out by Haogang Chen.

This patch introduces new structures of grant table V2, grant table V2 is an
extension from V1. Grant table is shared between guest and Xen, and Xen is
responsible to do corresponding work for grant operations, such as: figure
out guest's grant table version, perform different actions based on
different grant table version, etc. Although full-page structure of V2
is different from V1, it play the same role as V1.

netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in
drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by
frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows.
The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but
has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual
cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from
drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.
One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what
looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove
the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel
patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final
put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map
based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB
frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into
regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant
map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the
future.
Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement
bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in
linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge
window:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends
this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for
cross merging into the net branch.

While the hypervisor change adding SCHEDOP_watchdog support included a
daemon to make use of the new functionality, having a kernel driver
for /dev/watchdog so that user space code doesn't need to distinguish
non-Xen and Xen seems to be preferable.

This patch makes sure blkfront handles correctly virtual device numbers
corresponding to Xen emulated IDE and SCSI disks: in those cases
blkfront translates the major number to XENVBD and the minor number to a
low xvd minor.
Note: this behaviour is different from what old xenlinux PV guests used
to do: they used to steal an IDE or SCSI major number and use it
instead.

Use the new hypercall PHYSDEVOP_get_free_pirq to ask Xen to allocate a
pirq. Remove the unsupported PHYSDEVOP_get_nr_pirqs hypercall to get the
amount of pirq available.
This fixes find_unbound_pirq that otherwise would return a number
starting from nr_irqs that might very well be out of range in Xen.
The symptom of this bug is that when you passthrough an MSI capable pci
device to a PV on HVM guest, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
device.

This hypercall allows Xen to specify a non-default location for the
machine to physical mapping. This capability is used when running a 32
bit domain 0 on a 64 bit hypervisor to shrink the hypervisor hole to
exactly the size required.

Rather than simply using a flat memory map from Xen, use its provided
E820 map. This allows the domain builder to tell the domain to reserve
space for more pages than those initially provided at domain-build time.
It also allows the host to specify holes in the address space (for
PCI-passthrough, for example).
