xen/arm: Enable cpu_hotplug.c

2015-10-23T13:20:47+00:00

Build cpu_hotplug for ARM and ARM64 guests.

Rename arch_(un)register_cpu to xen_(un)register_cpu and provide an
empty implementation on ARM and ARM64. On x86 just call
arch_(un)register_cpu as we are already doing.

Initialize cpu_hotplug on ARM.

xen/swiotlb: Add support for 64KB page granularity

2015-10-23T13:20:43+00:00

Swiotlb is used on ARM64 to support DMA on platform where devices are
not protected by an SMMU. Furthermore it's only enabled for DOM0.

While Xen is always using 4KB page granularity in the stage-2 page table,
Linux ARM64 may either use 4KB or 64KB. This means that a Linux page
can be spanned accross multiple Xen page.

The Swiotlb code has to validate that the buffer used for DMA is
physically contiguous in the memory. As a Linux page can't be shared
between local memory and foreign page by design (the balloon code always
removing entirely a Linux page), the changes in the code are very
minimal because we only need to check the first Xen PFN.

Note that it may be possible to optimize the function
check_page_physically_contiguous to avoid looping over every Xen PFN
for local memory. Although I will let this optimization for a follow-up.

xen/swiotlb: Pass addresses rather than frame numbers to xen_arch_need_swiotlb

2015-10-23T13:20:43+00:00

With 64KB page granularity support, the frame number will be different.

It will be easier to modify the behavior in a single place rather than
in each caller.

arm/xen: Add support for 64KB page granularity

2015-10-23T13:20:42+00:00

The hypercall interface is always using 4KB page granularity. This is
requiring to use xen page definition macro when we deal with hypercall.

Note that pfn_to_gfn is working with a Xen pfn (i.e 4KB). We may want to
rename pfn_gfn to make this explicit.

We also allocate a 64KB page for the shared page even though only the
first 4KB is used. I don't think this is really important for now as it
helps to have the pointer 4KB aligned (XENMEM_add_to_physmap is taking a
Xen PFN).

arm/xen: Drop pte_mfn and mfn_pte

2015-10-23T13:20:32+00:00

They are not used in common code expect in one place in balloon.c which is
only compiled when Linux is using PV MMU. It's not the case on ARM.

Rather than worrying how to handle the 64KB case, drop them.

xen: Use correctly the Xen memory terminologies

2015-09-08T17:03:49+00:00

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.

For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.

For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.

Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.

Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

arm/xen: implement correctly pfn_to_mfn

2015-09-08T16:10:52+00:00

After the commit introducing convertion between DMA and guest addresses,
all the callers of pfn_to_mfn are expecting to get a GFN (Guest Frame
Number). On ARM, all the guests are auto-translated so the GFN is equal
to the Linux PFN (Pseudo-physical Frame Number).

The current implementation may return an MFN if the caller is passing a
PFN associated to a mapped foreign grant. In pratice, I haven't seen
the problem on running guest but we should fix it for the sake of
correctness.

Correct the implementation by always returning the pfn passed in parameter.

A follow-up patch will take care to rename pfn_to_mfn to a suitable
name.

xen: Make clear that swiotlb and biomerge are dealing with DMA address

2015-09-08T16:10:52+00:00

The swiotlb is required when programming a DMA address on ARM when a
device is not protected by an IOMMU.

In this case, the DMA address should always be equal to the machine address.
For DOM0 memory, Xen ensure it by have an identity mapping between the
guest address and host address. However, when mapping a foreign grant
reference, the 1:1 model doesn't work.

For ARM guest, most of the callers of pfn_to_mfn expects to get a GFN
(Guest Frame Number), i.e a PFN (Page Frame Number) from the Linux point
of view given that all ARM guest are auto-translated.

Even though the name pfn_to_mfn is misleading, we need to ensure that
those caller get a GFN and not by mistake a MFN. In pratical, I haven't
seen error related to this but we should fix it for the sake of
correctness.

In order to fix the implementation of pfn_to_mfn on ARM in a follow-up
patch, we have to introduce new helpers to return the DMA from a PFN and
the invert.

On x86, the new helpers will be an alias of pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn.

The helpers will be used in swiotlb and xen_biovec_phys_mergeable.

This is necessary in the latter because we have to ensure that the
biovec code will not try to merge a biovec using foreign page and
another using Linux memory.

Lastly, the helper mfn_to_local_pfn has been renamed to bfn_to_local_pfn
given that the only usage was in swiotlb.

arm/xen: Remove helpers which are PV specific

2015-08-20T11:25:27+00:00

ARM guests are always HVM. The current implementation is assuming a 1:1
mapping which is only true for DOM0 and may not be at all in the future.

Furthermore, all the helpers but arbitrary_virt_to_machine are used in
x86 specific code (or only compiled for).

The helper arbitrary_virt_to_machine is only used in PV specific code.
Therefore we should never call the function.

Add a BUG() in this helper and drop all the others.

xen/events: Support event channel rebind on ARM

2015-08-20T11:24:15+00:00

Currently, the event channel rebind code is gated with the presence of
the vector callback.

The virtual interrupt controller on ARM has the concept of per-CPU
interrupt (PPI) which allow us to support per-VCPU event channel.
Therefore there is no need of vector callback for ARM.

Xen is already using a free PPI to notify the guest VCPU of an event.
Furthermore, the xen code initialization in Linux (see
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c) is requesting correctly a per-CPU IRQ.

Introduce new helper xen_support_evtchn_rebind to allow architecture
decide whether rebind an event is support or not. It will always return
true on ARM and keep the same behavior on x86.

This is also allow us to drop the usage of xen_have_vector_callback
entirely in the ARM code.
