      xen/mmu: Add the notion of identity (1-1) mapping. · f4cec35b
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      Our P2M tree structure is a three-level. On the leaf nodes
we set the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of the PFN. What this means
is that when one does: pfn_to_mfn(pfn), which is used when creating
PTE entries, you get the real MFN of the hardware. When Xen sets
up a guest it initially populates a array which has descending
(or ascending) MFN values, as so:

 idx: 0,  1,       2
 [0x290F, 0x290E, 0x290D, ..]

so pfn_to_mfn(2)==0x290D. If you start, restart many guests that list
starts looking quite random.

We graft this structure on our P2M tree structure and stick in
those MFN in the leafs. But for all other leaf entries, or for the top
root, or middle one, for which there is a void entry, we assume it is
"missing". So
 pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.

We add the possibility of setting 1-1 mappings on certain regions, so
that:
 pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=0xc0000

The benefit of this is, that we can assume for non-RAM regions (think
PCI BARs, or ACPI spaces), we can create mappings easily b/c we
get the PFN value to match the MFN.

For this to work efficiently we introduce one new page p2m_identity and
allocate (via reserved_brk) any other pages we need to cover the sides
(1GB or 4MB boundary violations). All entries in p2m_identity are set to
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY type (Xen toolstack only recognizes that and MFNs,
no other fancy value).

On lookup we spot that the entry points to p2m_identity and return the identity
value instead of dereferencing and returning INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. If the entry
points to an allocated page, we just proceed as before and return the PFN.
If the PFN has IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set we unmask that in appropriate functions
(pfn_to_mfn).

The reason for having the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT instead of just returning the
PFN is that we could find ourselves where pfn_to_mfn(pfn)==pfn for a
non-identity pfn. To protect ourselves against we elect to set (and get) the
IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on all identity mapped PFNs.

This simplistic diagram is used to explain the more subtle piece of code.
There is also a digram of the P2M at the end that can help.
Imagine your E820 looking as so:

                   1GB                                           2GB
/-------------------+---------\/----\         /----------\    /---+-----\
| System RAM        | Sys RAM ||ACPI|         | reserved |    | Sys RAM |
\-------------------+---------/\----/         \----------/    \---+-----/
                              ^- 1029MB                       ^- 2001MB

[1029MB = 263424 (0x40500), 2001MB = 512256 (0x7D100), 2048MB = 524288 (0x80000)]

And dom0_mem=max:3GB,1GB is passed in to the guest, meaning memory past 1GB
is actually not present (would have to kick the balloon driver to put it in).

When we are told to set the PFNs for identity mapping (see patch: "xen/setup:
Set identity mapping for non-RAM E820 and E820 gaps.") we pass in the start
of the PFN and the end PFN (263424 and 512256 respectively). The first step is
to reserve_brk a top leaf page if the p2m[1] is missing. The top leaf page
covers 512^2 of page estate (1GB) and in case the start or end PFN is not
aligned on 512^2*PAGE_SIZE (1GB) we loop on aligned 1GB PFNs from start pfn to
end pfn.  We reserve_brk top leaf pages if they are missing (means they point
to p2m_mid_missing).

With the E820 example above, 263424 is not 1GB aligned so we allocate a
reserve_brk page which will cover the PFNs estate from 0x40000 to 0x80000.
Each entry in the allocate page is "missing" (points to p2m_missing).

Next stage is to determine if we need to do a more granular boundary check
on the 4MB (or 2MB depending on architecture) off the start and end pfn's.
We check if the start pfn and end pfn violate that boundary check, and if
so reserve_brk a middle (p2m[x][y]) leaf page. This way we have a much finer
granularity of setting which PFNs are missing and which ones are identity.
In our example 263424 and 512256 both fail the check so we reserve_brk two
pages. Populate them with INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (so they both have "missing" values)
and assign them to p2m[1][2] and p2m[1][488] respectively.

At this point we would at minimum reserve_brk one page, but could be up to
three. Each call to set_phys_range_identity has at maximum a three page
cost. If we were to query the P2M at this stage, all those entries from
start PFN through end PFN (so 1029MB -> 2001MB) would return INVALID_P2M_ENTRY
("missing").

The next step is to walk from the start pfn to the end pfn setting
the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on each PFN. This is done in 'set_phys_range_identity'.
If we find that the middle leaf is pointing to p2m_missing we can swap it over
to p2m_identity - this way covering 4MB (or 2MB) PFN space.  At this point we
do not need to worry about boundary aligment (so no need to reserve_brk a middle
page, figure out which PFNs are "missing" and which ones are identity), as that
has been done earlier.  If we find that the middle leaf is not occupied by
p2m_identity or p2m_missing, we dereference that page (which covers
512 PFNs) and set the appropriate PFN with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT. In our example
263424 and 512256 end up there, and we set from p2m[1][2][256->511] and
p2m[1][488][0->256] with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set.

All other regions that are void (or not filled) either point to p2m_missing
(considered missing) or have the default value of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (also
considered missing). In our case, p2m[1][2][0->255] and p2m[1][488][257->511]
contain the INVALID_P2M_ENTRY value and are considered "missing."

This is what the p2m ends up looking (for the E820 above) with this
fabulous drawing:

   p2m         /--------------\
 /-----\       | &mfn_list[0],|                           /-----------------\

      xen: Mark all initial reserved pages for the balloon as INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. · 6eaa412f
      由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于 
      With this patch, we diligently set regions that will be used by the
balloon driver to be INVALID_P2M_ENTRY and under the ownership
of the balloon driver. We are OK using the __set_phys_to_machine
as we do not expect to be allocating any P2M middle or entries pages.
The set_phys_to_machine has the side-effect of potentially allocating
new pages and we do not want that at this stage.

We can do this because xen_build_mfn_list_list will have already
allocated all such pages up to xen_max_p2m_pfn.

We also move the check for auto translated physmap down the
stack so it is present in __set_phys_to_machine.

      xen: p2m: correctly initialize partial p2m leaf · 8e1b4cf2
      由 Stefan Bader 提交于 
      After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by

  commit 58e05027
    xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree

and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
observed in the dump:

kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000

Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.

pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)

Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.

When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.

I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.
