      xen/mmu: On early bootup, flush the TLB when changing RO->RW bits Xen provided pagetables. · b2222794
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      Occassionaly on a DL380 G4 the guest would crash quite early with this:

The offending code shows it to be a loop writting the value zero
(%rax) in the %rdi (the L4 provided by Xen) register:

   0: 44 00 00             add    %r8b,(%rax)
   3: 31 c0                 xor    %eax,%eax

  1c: 48 89 47 10           mov    %rax,0x10(%rdi)

which fails. xen_setup_kernel_pagetable recycles some of the Xen's
page-table entries when it has switched over to its Linux page-tables.

Right before try to clear the page, we  make a hypercall to change
it from _RO to  _RW and that works (otherwise we would hit an BUG()).
And the _RW flag is set for that page:
(XEN)  L1[0x1c7] = 001000004885f067 0000000000004dc7

The error code is 3, so PFEC_page_present and PFEC_write_access, so page is
present (correct), and we tried to write to the page, but a violation
occurred. The one theory is that the the page entries in hardware
(which are cached) are not up to date with what we just set. Especially
as we have just done an CR3 write and flushed the multicalls.

This patch does solve the problem by flusing out the TLB page
entry after changing it from _RO to _RW and we don't hit this
issue anymore.

      x86-64, xen, mmu: Provide an early version of write_cr3. · 0cc9129d
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      With commit 8170e6be ("x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize
early mappings on demand") we started hitting an early bootup crash
where the Xen hypervisor would inform us that:

    (XEN) d7:v0: unhandled page fault (ec=0000)
    (XEN) Pagetable walk from ffffea000005b2d0:

    (XEN) Domain 7 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:
    (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.2.0  x86_64  debug=n  Not tainted ]----

.. that Xen was unable to context switch back to dom0.

Looking at the calling stack we find:

    [<ffffffff8103feba>] xen_get_user_pgd+0x5a  <--
    [<ffffffff8103feba>] xen_get_user_pgd+0x5a
    [<ffffffff81042d27>] xen_write_cr3+0x77
    [<ffffffff81ad2d21>] init_mem_mapping+0x1f9
    [<ffffffff81ac293f>] setup_arch+0x742
    [<ffffffff81666d71>] printk+0x48

We are trying to figure out whether we need to up-date the user PGD as
well.  Please keep in mind that under 64-bit PV guests we have a limited
amount of rings: 0 for the Hypervisor, and 1 for both the Linux kernel
and user-space.  As such the Linux pvops'fied version of write_cr3
checks if it has to update the user-space cr3 as well.

That clearly is not needed during early bootup.  The recent changes (see
above git commit) streamline the x86 page table allocation to be much
simpler (And also incidentally the #PF handler ends up in spirit being
similar to how the Xen toolstack sets up the initial page-tables).

The fix is to have an early-bootup version of cr3 that just loads the
kernel %cr3.  The later version - which also handles user-page
modifications will be used after the initial page tables have been
setup.

[ hpa: removed a redundant #ifdef and made the new function __init.
  Also note that x86-32 already has such an early xen_write_cr3. ]

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      由 Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于 
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      xen pv-on-hvm: add pfn_is_ram helper for kdump · 34b6f01a
      由 Olaf Hering 提交于 
      Register pfn_is_ram helper speed up reading /proc/vmcore in the kdump
kernel. See commit message of 997c136f ("fs/proc/vmcore.c: add hook
to read_from_oldmem() to check for non-ram pages") for details.

It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.

The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
more changes in the generic kernel make it static for the time being.

      xen/mm: zero PTEs for non-present MFNs in the initial page table · 66a27dde
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      When constructing the initial page tables, if the MFN for a usable PFN
is missing in the p2m then that frame is initially ballooned out.  In
this case, zero the PTE (as in decrease_reservation() in
drivers/xen/balloon.c).

This is obviously safe instead of having an valid PTE with an MFN of
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (~0).

      xen/mm: do direct hypercall in xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable · d095d43e
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      In xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable (because the caller is in
an interrupt context such as handling a page fault) it would fall back
to using native_set_pte() and trapping and emulating the PTE write.

On 32-bit guests this requires two traps for each PTE write (one for
each dword of the PTE).  Instead, do one mmu_update hypercall
directly.

During construction of the initial page tables, continue to use
native_set_pte() because most of the PTEs being set are in writable
and unpinned pages (see phys_pmd_init() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c) and
using a hypercall for this is very expensive.

This significantly improves page fault performance in 32-bit PV
guests.

      x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range · e7b52ffd
      由 Alex Shi 提交于 
      x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.

But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.

So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
	(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
		X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)

Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.

But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.

As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.

My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
'always':

      xen/setup: update VA mapping when releasing memory during setup · 83d51ab4
      由 David Vrabel 提交于 
      In xen_memory_setup(), if a page that is being released has a VA
mapping this must also be updated.  Otherwise, the page will be not
released completely -- it will still be referenced in Xen and won't be
freed util the mapping is removed and this prevents it from being
reallocated at a different PFN.

This was already being done for the ISA memory region in
xen_ident_map_ISA() but on many systems this was omitting a few pages
as many systems marked a few pages below the ISA memory region as
reserved in the e820 map.

This fixes errors such as:

(XEN) page_alloc.c:1148:d0 Over-allocation for domain 0: 2097153 > 2097152

which is due to the fact we are trying to access a PFN that is not
accessible to us. The reason (at least in this case) was that
PGD[256] is set to __HYPERVISOR_VIRT_START which was setup (by the
hypervisor) to point to a read-only linear map of the MFN->PFN array.
During our parsing we would get the MFN (a valid one), try to look
it up in the MFN->PFN tree and find it invalid and return ~0 as PFN.
Then pte_mfn_to_pfn would happilly feed that in, attach the flags
and return it back to the caller. 'ptdump_show' bitshifts it and
gets and invalid value that it tries to dereference.

Instead of doing all of that, we detect the ~0 case and just
return !_PAGE_PRESENT.

This bug has been in existence .. at least until 2.6.37 (yikes!)

The reason we are dying is b/c the call acpi_get_override_irq() is used,
which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.

The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.

      xen/pat: Disable PAT support for now. · 8eaffa67

Using of PAT to change pages from WB to WC works quite nicely.
Changing it back to WB - not so much. The crux of the matter is
that the code that does this (__page_change_att_set_clr) has only
limited information so when it tries to the change it gets
the "raw" unfiltered information instead of the properly filtered one -
and the "raw" one tell it that PSE bit is on (while infact it
is not).  As a result when the PTE is set to be WB from WC, we get
tons of:

for every page. The proper fix for this is has been posted
and is https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/10/228
"x86/cpa: Use pte_attrs instead of pte_flags on CPA/set_p.._wb/wc operations."
along with a detailed description of the problem and solution.

But since that posting has gone nowhere I am proposing
this band-aid solution so that at least users don't get
the page corruption (the pages that are WC don't get changed to WB
and end up being recycled for filesystem or other things causing
mysterious crashes).

The negative impact of this patch is that users of WC flag
(which are InfiniBand, radeon, nouveau drivers) won't be able
to set that flag - so they are going to see performance degradation.
But stability is more important here.

      xen/x86: replace order-based range checking of M2P table by linear one · ccbcdf7c
      由 Jan Beulich 提交于 
      The order-based approach is not only less efficient (requiring a shift
and a compare, typical generated code looking like this

	mov	eax, [machine_to_phys_order]
	mov	ecx, eax
	shr	ebx, cl
	test	ebx, ebx
	jnz	...

whereas a direct check requires just a compare, like in

	cmp	ebx, [machine_to_phys_nr]
	jae	...

), but also slightly dangerous in the 32-on-64 case - the element
address calculation can wrap if the next power of two boundary is
sufficiently far away from the actual upper limit of the table, and
hence can result in user space addresses being accessed (with it being
unknown what may actually be mapped there).

Additionally, the elimination of the mistaken use of fls() here (should
have been __fls()) fixes a latent issue on x86-64 that would trigger
if the code was run on a system with memory extending beyond the 44-bit
boundary.
