* xen: synchronize include/xen/interface/xen.h with xenJuergen Gross2015-03-161-1/+5

* xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special on x86 PV guestsDavid Vrabel2015-01-282-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an x86 PV guest, get_user_pages_fast() on a userspace address range containing foreign mappings does not work correctly because the M2P lookup of the MFN from a userspace PTE may return the wrong page. Force get_user_pages_fast() to fail on such addresses by marking the PTEs as special. If Xen has XENFEAT_gnttab_map_avail_bits (available since at least 4.0), we can do so efficiently in the grant map hypercall. Otherwise, it needs to be done afterwards. This is both inefficient and racy (the mapping is visible to the task before we fixup the PTEs), but will be fine for well-behaved applications that do not use the mapping until after the mmap() system call returns. Guests with XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap (ARM and x86 HVM or PVH) do not need this since get_user_pages() has always worked correctly for them.

* x86/xen: properly retrieve NMI reasonJan Beulich2015-01-131-0/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this, and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI / GHES actually make it to the respective handler. Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse, while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to work the native rather than the PV way).

The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM. Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition.

This lets us be able to handle more events, have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff. The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the hypervisor doing it for us. In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment, syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH' name - a PV guest within an HVM container. The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc. It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is pretty awesome and we are excited about it. Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next. In short, this pull has awesome features. Features: - FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000 events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs. - Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations." (from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum") Bug-fixes: - Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM) - Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests. - Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly. - Refactors in event channels" * tag 'stable/for-linus-3.14-rc0-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: (52 commits) xen/pvh: Set X86_CR0_WP and others in CR0 (v2) MAINTAINERS: add git repository for Xen xen/pvh: Use 'depend' instead of 'select'. xen: delete new instances of __cpuinit usage xen/fb: allow xenfb initialization for hvm guests xen/evtchn_fifo: fix error return code in evtchn_fifo_setup() xen-platform: fix error return code in platform_pci_init() xen/pvh: remove duplicated include from enlighten.c xen/pvh: Fix compile issues with xen_pvh_domain() xen: Use dev_is_pci() to check whether it is pci device xen/grant-table: Force to use v1 of grants. xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions (v3). xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM XenBus. xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for grant driver (v4) xen/grant: Implement an grant frame array struct (v3). xen/grant-table: Refactor gnttab_init xen/grants: Remove gnttab_max_grant_frames dependency on gnttab_init. xen/pvh: Piggyback on PVHVM for event channels (v2) xen/pvh: Update E820 to work with PVH (v2) xen/pvh: Secondary VCPU bringup (non-bootup CPUs) ...

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.

The design document for this new ABI is available here: http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-H.pdf In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array of event words. Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue. There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU. Key advantages of this new ABI include: - Support for over 100,000 events (2^17). - 16 different event priorities. - Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs. The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.

This change breaks guest block support with older kernel. IMHO, it's acceptable because Xen on ARM is still on Tech Preview and the hypercall ABI is not yet freezed.

| * xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIsKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk2013-08-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME - pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN - pv_cpu_ops.iret). That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use the hypervisor iret. The other changes that would be neccessary for this would be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different events. Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903639fcfaec213701a494fe3fb2c490b (xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right vector value for NMI. With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested x86_64). For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain) we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking of X86_FEATURE_APIC. Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround. Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch does not enable that.

The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough. The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream. The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate the segment size. This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size. It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes (256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose). The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the ‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment. If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB. Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing it to be a bit more flexible. There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these 'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is bigger than the segment size). This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover: 32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M) can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB. Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension) work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so 50% of the page is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page per request * 4096 = 32MB. This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and balancing the needs of many guests. In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD. This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated. Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).

This grant references are filled with arrays of blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a request. The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs (frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors in the frontend if needed. The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the new maximum number of segments.

The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

* | xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressionsWei Liu2013-04-221-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39. Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots) per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing slots. Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17) which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots. To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more than max_skb_slots is considered malicious. The behavior of netback for packet is thus: 1-18 slots: valid 19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20. Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests. Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be fixed with separate patch.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly. Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535. This can 1) save the effort to send malformed packet to netback, 2) help spotting misconfiguration of netfront in the future.

| | * xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requestsDavid Vrabel2013-03-111-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 guestsJan Beulich2013-03-221-0/+6
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
