otherwise we will get for some user-space applications
that use 'clone' with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
end up hitting an assert in glibc manifested by:
general protection ip:7f80720d364c sp:7fff98fd8a80 error:0 in
libc-2.13.so[7f807209e000+180000]
This is due to the nature of said operations which sets and clears
the PID. "In the successful one I can see that the page table of
the parent process has been updated successfully to use a
different physical page, so the write of the tid on
that page only affects the child...
On the other hand, in the failed case, the write seems to happen before
the copy of the original page is done, so both the parent and the child
end up with the same value (because the parent copies the page after
the write of the child tid has already happened)."
(Roger's analysis). The nature of this is due to the Xen's commit
of 51e2cac257ec8b4080d89f0855c498cbbd76a5e5
"x86/pvh: set only minimal cr0 and cr4 flags in order to use paging"
the CR0_WP was removed so COW features of the Linux kernel were not
operating properly.
While doing that also update the rest of the CR0 flags to be inline
with what a baremetal Linux kernel would set them to.
In 'secondary_startup_64' (baremetal Linux) sets:
X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_NE | X86_CR0_WP |
X86_CR0_AM | X86_CR0_PG
The hypervisor for HVM type guests (which PVH is a bit) sets:
X86_CR0_PE | X86_CR0_ET | X86_CR0_TS
For PVH it specifically sets:
X86_CR0_PG
Which means we need to set the rest: X86_CR0_MP | X86_CR0_NE |
X86_CR0_WP | X86_CR0_AM to have full parity.

The usage of 'select' means it will enable the CONFIG
options without checking their dependencies. That meant
we would inadvertently turn on CONFIG_XEN_PVHM while its
core dependency (CONFIG_PCI) was turned off.
This patch fixes the warnings and compile failures:

PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities,
such as running MMU updates in a HVM container.
The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt,
with modifications):
"* the guest uses auto translate:
- p2m is managed by Xen
- pagetables are owned by the guest
- mmu_update hypercall not available
* it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation,
* IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest.
For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table
in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen. From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a
PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting
callback vector."
Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH
string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the
assembler from putting null char after each string before \.
This patch allows it to be configured and enabled.
We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to
tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel
needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor
parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load
the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.

In PVH the shared grant frame is the PFN and not MFN,
hence its mapped via the same code path as HVM.
The allocation of the grant frame is done differently - we
do not use the early platform-pci driver and have an
ioremap area - instead we use balloon memory and stitch
all of the non-contingous pages in a virtualized area.
That means when we call the hypervisor to replace the GMFN
with a XENMAPSPACE_grant_table type, we need to lookup the
old PFN for every iteration instead of assuming a flat
contingous PFN allocation.
Lastly, we only use v1 for grants. This is because PVHVM
is not able to use v2 due to no XENMEM_add_to_physmap
calls on the error status page (see commit
69e8f430e243d657c2053f097efebc2e2cd559f0
xen/granttable: Disable grant v2 for HVM domains.)
Until that is implemented this workaround has to
be in place.
Also per suggestions by Stefano utilize the PVHVM paths
as they share common functionality.
v2 of this patch moves most of the PVH code out in the
arch/x86/xen/grant-table driver and touches only minimally
the generic driver.
v3, v4: fixes us some of the code due to earlier patches.

PVH is a PV guest with a twist - there are certain things
that work in it like HVM and some like PV. There is
a similar mode - PVHVM where we run in HVM mode with
PV code enabled - and this patch explores that.
The most notable PV interfaces are the XenBus and event channels.
We will piggyback on how the event channel mechanism is
used in PVHVM - that is we want the normal native IRQ mechanism
and we will install a vector (hvm callback) for which we
will call the event channel mechanism.
This means that from a pvops perspective, we can use
native_irq_ops instead of the Xen PV specific. Albeit in the
future we could support pirq_eoi_map. But that is
a feature request that can be shared with PVHVM.

The VCPU bringup protocol follows the PV with certain twists.
From xen/include/public/arch-x86/xen.h:
Also note that when calling DOMCTL_setvcpucontext and VCPU_initialise
for HVM and PVH guests, not all information in this structure is updated:
- For HVM guests, the structures read include: fpu_ctxt (if
VGCT_I387_VALID is set), flags, user_regs, debugreg[*]
- PVH guests are the same as HVM guests, but additionally use ctrlreg[3] to
set cr3. All other fields not used should be set to 0.
This is what we do. We piggyback on the 'xen_setup_gdt' - but modify
a bit - we need to call 'load_percpu_segment' so that 'switch_to_new_gdt'
can load per-cpu data-structures. It has no effect on the VCPU0.
We also piggyback on the %rdi register to pass in the CPU number - so
that when we bootup a new CPU, the cpu_bringup_and_idle will have
passed as the first parameter the CPU number (via %rdi for 64-bit).

During early bootup we start life using the Xen provided
GDT, which means that we are running with %cs segment set
to FLAT_KERNEL_CS (FLAT_RING3_CS64 0xe033, GDT index 261).
But for PVH we want to be use HVM type mechanism for
segment operations. As such we need to switch to the HVM
one and also reload ourselves with the __KERNEL_CS:eip
to run in the proper GDT and segment.
For HVM this is usually done in 'secondary_startup_64' in
(head_64.S) but since we are not taking that bootup
path (we start in PV - xen_start_kernel) we need to do
that in the early PV bootup paths.
For good measure we also zero out the %fs, %ds, and %es
(not strictly needed as Xen has already cleared them
for us). The %gs is loaded by 'switch_to_new_gdt'.

For PVHVM the shared_info structure is provided via the same way
as for normal PV guests (see include/xen/interface/xen.h).
That is during bootup we get 'xen_start_info' via the %esi register
in startup_xen. Then later we extract the 'shared_info' from said
structure (in xen_setup_shared_info) and start using it.
The 'xen_setup_shared_info' is all setup to work with auto-xlat
guests, but there are two functions which it calls that are not:
xen_setup_mfn_list_list and xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement.
This patch modifies the P2M code (xen_setup_mfn_list_list)
while the "Piggyback on PVHVM for event channels" modifies
the xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement.

.. which are surprisingly small compared to the amount for PV code.
PVH uses mostly native mmu ops, we leave the generic (native_*) for
the majority and just overwrite the baremetal with the ones we need.
At startup, we are running with pre-allocated page-tables
courtesy of the tool-stack. But we still need to graft them
in the Linux initial pagetables. However there is no need to
unpin/pin and change them to R/O or R/W.
Note that the xen_pagetable_init due to 7836fec9d0994cc9c9150c5a33f0eb0eb08a335a
"xen/mmu/p2m: Refactor the xen_pagetable_init code." does not

Stefano noticed that the code runs only under 64-bit so
the comments about 32-bit are pointless.
Also we change the condition for xen_revector_p2m_tree
returning the same value (because it could not allocate
a swath of space to put the new P2M in) or it had been
called once already. In such we return early from the
function.

The revectoring and copying of the P2M only happens when
!auto-xlat and on 64-bit builds. It is not obvious from

P2M is not available for PVH. Fortunatly for us the
P2M code already has mostly the support for auto-xlat guest thanks to
commit 3d24bbd7dddbea54358a9795abaf051b0f18973c
"grant-table: call set_phys_to_machine after mapping grant refs"
which: "
introduces set_phys_to_machine calls for auto_translated guests
(even on x86) in gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs.
translated by swiotlb-xen... " so we don't need to muck much.
with above mentioned "commit you'll get set_phys_to_machine calls
from gnttab_map_refs and gnttab_unmap_refs but PVH guests won't do
anything with them " (Stefano Stabellini) which is OK - we want
them to be NOPs.
This is because we assume that an "IOMMU is always present on the
plaform and Xen is going to make the appropriate IOMMU pagetable
changes in the hypercall implementation of GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref
and GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref, then eveything should be transparent
from PVH priviligied point of view and DMA transfers involving
foreign pages keep working with no issues[sp]
Otherwise we would need a P2M (and an M2P) for PVH priviligied to
track these foreign pages .. (see arch/arm/xen/p2m.c)."
(Stefano Stabellini).
We still have to inhibit the building of the P2M tree.
That had been done in the past by not calling
xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine (which setups the P2M tree
and gives us virtual address to access them). But we are missing
a check for xen_build_mfn_list_list - which was continuing to setup
the P2M tree and would blow up at trying to get the virtual
address of p2m_missing (which would have been setup by
xen_build_dynamic_phys_to_machine).
Hence a check is needed to not call xen_build_mfn_list_list when
running in auto-xlat mode.
Instead of replicating the check for auto-xlat in enlighten.c
do it in the p2m.c code. The reason is that the xen_build_mfn_list_list
is called also in xen_arch_post_suspend without any checks for
auto-xlat. So for PVH or PV with auto-xlat - we would needlessly
allocate space for an P2M tree.

We don't use the filtering that 'xen_cpuid' is doing
because the hypervisor treats 'XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX' as
an invalid instruction. This means that all of the filtering
will have to be done in the hypervisor/toolstack.
Without the filtering we expose to the guest the:
- cpu topology (sockets, cores, etc);
- the APERF (which the generic scheduler likes to
use), see 5e626254206a709c6e937f3dda69bf26c7344f6f
"xen/setup: filter APERFMPERF cpuid feature out"
- and the inability to figure out whether MWAIT_LEAF
should be exposed or not. See
df88b2d96e36d9a9e325bfcd12eb45671cbbc937
"xen/enlighten: Disable MWAIT_LEAF so that acpi-pad won't be loaded."
- x2apic, see 4ea9b9aca90cfc71e6872ed3522356755162932c
"xen: mask x2APIC feature in PV"
We also check for vector callback early on, as it is a required
feature. PVH also runs at default kernel IOPL.
Finally, pure PV settings are moved to a separate function that are
only called for pure PV, ie, pv with pvmmu. They are also #ifdef
with CONFIG_XEN_PVMMU.

Which is a PV guest with auto page translation enabled
and with vector callback. It is a cross between PVHVM and PV.

callback vector."
Also we use the PV cpuid, albeit we can use the HVM (native) cpuid.
However, we do have a fair bit of filtering in the xen_cpuid and
we can piggyback on that until the hypervisor/toolstack filters
the appropiate cpuids. Once that is done we can swap over to
use the native one.
We setup a Kconfig entry that is disabled by default and
cannot be enabled.
Note that on ARM the concept of PVH is non-existent. As Ian
put it: "an ARM guest is neither PV nor HVM nor PVHVM.
It's a bit like PVH but is different also (it's further towards
the H end of the spectrum than even PVH).". As such these
options (PVHVM, PVH) are never enabled nor seen on ARM
compilations.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
around the Xen SWIOTLB library.
The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
"is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.
There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.
The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time. Rest
assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.
Features:
- SWIOTLB has tracing added when doing bounce buffer.
- Xen ARM/ARM64 can use Xen-SWIOTLB. This work allows Linux to
safely program real devices for DMA operations when running as a
guest on Xen on ARM, without IOMMU support. [*1]
- xen_raw_printk works with PVHVM guests if needed.
Bug-fixes:
- Make memory ballooning work under HVM with large MMIO region.
- Inform hypervisor of MCFG regions found in ACPI DSDT.
- Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED.
- Remove deprecated __cpuinit.
[*1]:
"On arm and arm64 all Xen guests, including dom0, run with second
stage translation enabled. As a consequence when dom0 programs a
device for a DMA operation is going to use (pseudo) physical
addresses instead machine addresses. This work introduces two trees
to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
foreign pages. Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
== machine address). It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
addresses for dma operations when necessary. " (Stefano)"

If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page
of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too
big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
enabled.
This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock
if we can't embed it to struct page.
page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if
sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.
The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to
support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

Due to the way kernel is initialized under Xen is possible that the
ring1 selector used by the kernel for the boot cpu end up to be copied
to userspace leading to segmentation fault in the userspace.
Xen code in the kernel initialize no-boot cpus with correct selectors (ds
and es set to __USER_DS) but the boot one keep the ring1 (passed by Xen).
On task context switch (switch_to) we assume that ds, es and cs already
point to __USER_DS and __KERNEL_CSso these selector are not changed.
If processor is an Intel that support sysenter instruction sysenter/sysexit
is used so ds and es are not restored switching back from kernel to
userspace. In the case the selectors point to a ring1 instead of __USER_DS
the userspace code will crash on first memory access attempt (to be
precise Xen on the emulated iret used to do sysexit will detect and set ds
and es to zero which lead to GPF anyway).
Now if an userspace process call kernel using sysenter and get rescheduled
(for me it happen on a specific init calling wait4) could happen that the
ring1 selector is set to ds and es.
This is quite hard to detect cause after a while these selectors are fixed
(__USER_DS seems sticky).
Bisecting the code commit 7076aada1040de4ed79a5977dbabdb5e5ea5e249 appears
to be the first one that have this issue.

Use xen_alloc_coherent_pages and xen_free_coherent_pages to allocate or
free coherent pages.
We need to be careful handling the pointer returned by
xen_alloc_coherent_pages, because on ARM the pointer is not equal to
phys_to_virt(*dma_handle). In fact virt_to_phys only works for kernel
direct mapped RAM memory.
In ARM case the pointer could be an ioremap address, therefore passing
it to virt_to_phys would give you another physical address that doesn't
correspond to it.
Make xen_create_contiguous_region take a phys_addr_t as start parameter to
avoid the virt_to_phys calls which would be incorrect.

On hosts with more than 168 GB of memory, a 32-bit guest may attempt
to grant map an MFN that is error cannot lookup in its mapping of the
m2p table. There is an m2p lookup as part of m2p_add_override() and
m2p_remove_override(). The lookup falls off the end of the mapped
portion of the m2p and (because the mapping is at the highest virtual
address) wraps around and the lookup causes a fault on what appears to
be a user space address.
do_page_fault() (thinking it's a fault to a userspace address), tries
to lock mm->mmap_sem. If the gntdev device is used for the grant map,
m2p_add_override() is called from from gnttab_mmap() with mm->mmap_sem
already locked. do_page_fault() then deadlocks.
The deadlock would most commonly occur when a 64-bit guest is started
and xenconsoled attempts to grant map its console ring.
Introduce mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() which checks the MFN is within the
mapped portion of the m2p table before accessing the table and use
this in m2p_add_override(), m2p_remove_override(), and mfn_to_pfn()
(which already had the correct range check).
All faults caused by accessing the non-existant parts of the m2p are
thus within the kernel address space and exception_fixup() is called
without trying to lock mm->mmap_sem.
This means that for MFNs that are outside the mapped range of the m2p
then mfn_to_pfn() will always look in the m2p overrides. This is
correct because it must be a foreign MFN (and the PFN in the m2p in
this case is only relevant for the other domain).

xen_init_spinlocks() currently calls static_key_slow_inc() before
jump_label_init() is invoked. When CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is set (which usually is
the case) the effect of this static_key_slow_inc() is deferred until after
jump_label_init(). This is different from when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is not set, in
which case the key is set immediately. Thus, depending on the value of config
option, we may observe different behavior.
In addition, when we come to __jump_label_transform() from jump_label_init(),
the key (paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled) is already enabled. On processors where
ideal_nop is not the same as default_nop this will cause a BUG() since it is
expected that before a key is enabled the latter is replaced by the former
during initialization.
To address this problem we need to move
static_key_slow_inc(¶virt_ticketlocks_enabled) so that it is called
after jump_label_init(). We also need to make sure that this is done before
other cpus start to boot. early_initcall appears to be a good place to do so.
(Note that we cannot move whole xen_init_spinlocks() there since pv_lock_ops
need to be set before alternative_instructions() runs.)

Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites
using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle
change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific -
without re patching.
That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running
with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while
for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths.
As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended
up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they
would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the
kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the
baremetal one.
On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the
alternative code kicks in.
The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function
be done before the alternative code starts patching.
Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit
f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23.
("xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM") wherein it mentioned
PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
cannot switch between them dynamically.
The first problem is solved by this patch.
The second problem has been solved by commit
816434ec4a674fcdb3c2221a6dffdc8f34020550
(Merge branch 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)

There is still the commit 70dd4998cb85f0ecd6ac892cc7232abefa432efb

The xen_lock_spinning has a check for the kicker interrupts
and if it is not initialized it will spin normally (not enter
the slowpath).
But for PVHVM case we would initialize the kicker interrupt
before the CPU came online. This meant that if the booting
CPU used a spinlock and went in the slowpath - it would
enter the slowpath and block forever. The forever part because
during bootup: the spinlock would be taken _before_ the CPU
sets itself to be online (more on this further), and we enter
to poll on the event channel forever.
The bootup CPU (see commit fc78d343fa74514f6fd117b5ef4cd27e4ac30236
"xen/smp: initialize IPI vectors before marking CPU online"
for details) and the CPU that started the bootup consult
the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the booting CPU should
get an IPI. The booting CPU has to set itself in this mask via:
set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
However, if the spinlock is taken before this (and it is) and
it polls on an event channel - it will never be woken up as
the kernel will never send an IPI to an offline CPU.
Note that the PVHVM logic in sending IPIs is using the HVM
path which has numerous checks using the cpu_online_mask
and cpu_active_mask. See above mention git commit for details.

MULTI_update_va_mapping() even though it already has pointer to this page from
the earlier call (in scratch_page). This second call doesn't have a matching

In addition, the second multicall uses __xen_mc_entry() which does not disable

Pull x86 spinlock changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here are paravirtualized ticket spinlocks (PV
spinlocks), which bring a nice speedup on various benchmarks.
The KVM host side will come to you via the KVM tree"
* 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/kvm/guest: Fix sparse warning: "symbol 'klock_waiting' was not declared as static"
kvm: Paravirtual ticketlocks support for linux guests running on KVM hypervisor
kvm guest: Add configuration support to enable debug information for KVM Guests
kvm uapi: Add KICK_CPU and PV_UNHALT definition to uapi
xen, pvticketlock: Allow interrupts to be enabled while blocking
x86, ticketlock: Add slowpath logic
jump_label: Split jumplabel ratelimit
x86, pvticketlock: When paravirtualizing ticket locks, increment by 2
x86, pvticketlock: Use callee-save for lock_spinning
xen, pvticketlocks: Add xen_nopvspin parameter to disable xen pv ticketlocks
xen, pvticketlock: Xen implementation for PV ticket locks
xen: Defer spinlock setup until boot CPU setup
x86, ticketlock: Collapse a layer of functions

Pull x86 paravirt changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Hypervisor signature detection cleanup and fixes - the goal is to make
KVM guests run better on MS/Hyperv and to generalize and factor out
the code a bit"
* 'x86-paravirt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: Correctly detect hypervisor
x86, kvm: Switch to use hypervisor_cpuid_base()
xen: Switch to use hypervisor_cpuid_base()
x86: Introduce hypervisor_cpuid_base()

Pull x86/asmlinkage changes from Ingo Molnar:
"As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
annotations consistent again:
- Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
by assembly code with asmlinkage()
- Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
assembly code as __visible.
For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
debuggability advantages, for the time being"
* 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
