xen-pciback: allow compiling on other archs than x86

2021-11-02T13:03:43+00:00

Xen-pciback driver was designed to be built for x86 only. But it can also be used by other architectures, e.g. Arm. Currently PCI backend implements multiple functionalities at a time, such as: 1. It is used as a database for assignable PCI devices, e.g. xl pci-assignable-{add|remove|list} manipulates that list. So, whenever the toolstack needs to know which PCI devices can be passed through it reads that from the relevant sysfs entries of the pciback. 2. It is used to hold the unbound PCI devices list, e.g. when passing through a PCI device it needs to be unbound from the relevant device driver and bound to pciback (strictly speaking it is not required that the device is bound to pciback, but pciback is again used as a database of the passed through PCI devices, so we can re-bind the devices back to their original drivers when guest domain shuts down) 3. Device reset for the devices being passed through 4. Para-virtualised use-cases support The para-virtualised part of the driver is not always needed as some architectures, e.g. Arm or x86 PVH Dom0, are not using backend-frontend model for PCI device passthrough. For such use-cases make the very first step in splitting the xen-pciback driver into two parts: Xen PCI stub and PCI PV backend drivers. For that add new configuration options CONFIG_XEN_PCI_STUB and CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_STUB, so the driver can be limited in its functionality, e.g. no support for para-virtualised scenario. x86 platform will continue using CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND for the fully featured backend driver.

xen: Remove support for PV ACPI cpu/memory hotplug

2021-04-23T07:31:50+00:00

Commit 76fc253723ad ("xen/acpi-stub: Disable it b/c the acpi_processor_add is no longer called.") declared as BROKEN support for Xen ACPI stub (which is required for xen-acpi-{cpu|memory}-hotplug) and suggested that this is temporary and will be soon fixed. This was in March 2013. Further, commit cfafae940381 ("xen: rename dom0_op to platform_op") renamed an interface used by memory hotplug code without updating that code (as it was BROKEN and therefore not compiled). This was in November 2015 and has gone unnoticed for over 5 year. It is now clear that this code is of no interest to anyone and therefore should be removed.

xen: Remove Xen PVH/PVHVM dependency on PCI

2020-12-16T06:55:05+00:00

A Xen PVH domain doesn't have a PCI bus or devices, so it doesn't need PCI support built in. Currently, XEN_PVH depends on XEN_PVHVM which depends on PCI. Introduce XEN_PVHVM_GUEST as a toplevel item and change XEN_PVHVM to a hidden variable. This allows XEN_PVH to depend on XEN_PVHVM without PCI while XEN_PVHVM_GUEST depends on PCI. In drivers/xen, compile platform-pci depending on XEN_PVHVM_GUEST since that pulls in the PCI dependency for linking.

xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory

2020-09-04T08:00:01+00:00

To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to create foreign mappings. The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing {alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of regions. If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend on memory hotplug. Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.

kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protector

2020-07-07T02:13:10+00:00

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally. For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile. No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector. GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN) Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector. Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'. Note: arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers

x86/entry: Switch XEN/PV hypercall entry to IDTENTRY

2020-06-11T13:15:08+00:00

Convert the XEN/PV hypercall to IDTENTRY: - Emit the ASM stub with DECLARE_IDTENTRY - Remove the ASM idtentry in 64-bit - Remove the open coded ASM entry code in 32-bit - Remove the old prototypes The handler stubs need to stay in ASM code as they need corner case handling and adjustment of the stack pointer. Provide a new C function which invokes the entry/exit handling and calls into the XEN handler on the interrupt stack if required. The exit code is slightly different from the regular idtentry_exit() on non-preemptible kernels. If the hypercall is preemptible and need_resched() is set then XEN provides a preempt hypercall scheduling function. Move this functionality into the entry code so it can use the existing idtentry functionality.

xen: remove tmem driver

2019-07-17T06:09:58+00:00

The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental" state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13). The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too. Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Acked-by: Boris Ostrovsky Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross

xen: remove pre-xen3 fallback handlers

2019-03-05T11:07:32+00:00

The legacy hypercall handlers were originally added with a comment explaining that "copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op() and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently safe" and only made sure to not write past the end of the argument structure, the checks in linux/string.h disagree with that, when link-time optimizations are used: In function 'memcpy', inlined from 'pirq_query_unmask' at drivers/xen/fallback.c:53:2, inlined from '__startup_pirq' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:529:2, inlined from 'restore_pirqs' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1439:3, inlined from 'xen_irq_resume' at drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:1581:2: include/linux/string.h:350:3: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter __read_overflow2(); ^ Further research turned out that only Xen 3.0.2 or earlier required the fallback at all, while all versions in use today don't need it. As far as I can tell, it is not even possible to run a mainline kernel on those old Xen releases, at the time when they were in use, only a patched kernel was supported anyway.

based frontends. Currently the frontends which implement similar code for sharing big buffers between frontend and backend are para-virtualized DRM and sound drivers. Both define the same way to share grant references of a data buffer with the corresponding backend with little differences. Move shared code into a helper module, so there is a single implementation of the same functionality for all. This patch introduces code which is used by sound and display frontend drivers without functional changes with the intention to remove shared code from the corresponding drivers.
