      xen: fix "xen: implement save/restore" · 0261ac5f
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      -tip testing found the following build breakage:

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `xen_suspend':
  manage.c:(.text+0x4390f): undefined reference to `xen_console_resume'

with this config:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Thu_May_29_09_23_16_CEST_2008.bad

i have bisected it down to:

|  commit 0e91398f
|  Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>
|  Date:   Mon May 26 23:31:27 2008 +0100
|
|      xen: implement save/restore

the problem is that drivers/xen/manage.c is built unconditionally if
CONFIG_XEN is enabled and makes use of xen_suspend(), but
drivers/char/hvc_xen.c, where the xen_suspend() method is implemented,
is only build if CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y as well.

i have solved this by providing a NOP implementation for xen_suspend()
in the !CONFIG_HVC_XEN case.

 =======================

The thing is, the crash makes little sense at first sight. We crash on a
benign-looking printk. The code around it got changed in -tip but
checking those topic branches individually did not reproduce the bug.

Bisection led to this commit:

|   d5edbc1f is first bad commit
|   commit d5edbc1f
|   Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

|   xen: add p2m mfn_list_list

Which is somewhat surprising, as on native hardware Xen client side
should have little to no side-effects.

After some head scratching, it turns out the following happened:
randconfig enabled the following Xen options:

  CONFIG_XEN=y
  CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=8
  # CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND is not set
  # CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND is not set
  CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
  # CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON is not set

which activated this piece of code in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:

> @@ -69,6 +69,13 @@
>  	__attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) =
>  		{ [ 0 ... TOP_ENTRIES - 1] = &p2m_missing[0] };
>
> +/* Arrays of p2m arrays expressed in mfns used for save/restore */

> +
> +static unsigned long p2m_top_mfn_list[TOP_ENTRIES / P2M_ENTRIES_PER_PAGE]
> +	__attribute__((section(".bss.page_aligned")));

The problem is, you must only put variables into .bss.page_aligned that
have a _size_ that is _exactly_ page aligned. In this case the size of
p2m_top_mfn_list is not page aligned:

 80b8d000 b p2m_top_mfn
 80b8f000 b p2m_top_mfn_list
 80b8f008 b softirq_stack
 80b97008 b hardirq_stack
 80b9f008 b bm_pte

So all subsequent variables get unaligned which, depending on luck,
breaks the kernel in various funny ways. In this case what killed the
kernel first was the misaligned bootmap pte page, resulting in that
creative crash above.

Anyway, this was a fun bug to track down :-)

I think the moral is that .bss.page_aligned is a dangerous construct in
its current form, and the symptoms of breakage are very non-trivial, so
i think we need build-time checks to make sure all symbols in
.bss.page_aligned are truly page aligned.

The Xen fix below gets the kernel booting again.
