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

2013-04-05T16:25:49+00:00

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.

xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guests

2013-04-05T16:25:49+00:00

commit 909b3fdb0dd4f3db07b2d75425a00a2adb551383 upstream.

For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the
MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been
assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have
pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is
a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway.

This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI:
add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on
the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

xen: arm: implement remap interfaces needed for privcmd mappings.

2012-11-29T14:00:19+00:00

We use XENMEM_add_to_physmap_range which is the preferred interface
for foreign mappings.

xen/acpi: Move the xen_running_on_version_or_later function.

2012-11-28T19:39:31+00:00

As on ia64 builds we get:
include/xen/interface/version.h: In function 'xen_running_on_version_or_later':
include/xen/interface/version.h:76: error: implicit declaration of function 'HYPERVISOR_xen_version'

We can later on make this function exportable if there are
modules using part of it. For right now the only two users are
built-in.

xen/acpi: ACPI PAD driver

2012-11-26T20:07:19+00:00

PAD is acpi Processor Aggregator Device which provides a control point
that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration
and control that applies to all processors in the platform.

This patch is to implement Xen acpi pad logic. When running under Xen
virt platform, native pad driver would not work. Instead Xen pad driver,
a self-contained and thin logic level, would take over acpi pad logic.

When acpi pad notify OSPM, xen pad logic intercept and parse _PUR object
to get the expected idle cpu number, and then hypercall to hypervisor.
Xen hypervisor would then do the rest work, say, core parking, to idle
specific number of cpus on its own policy.

This correctly sizes it as 64 bit on ARM but leaves it as unsigned
long on x86 (therefore no intended change on x86).

The long and ulong guest handles are now unused (and a bit dangerous)
so remove them.
