      xen: add support for PAT · 41f2e477
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Convert Linux PAT entries into Xen ones when constructing ptes.  Linux
doesn't use _PAGE_PAT for ptes, so the only difference in the first 4
entries is that Linux uses _PAGE_PWT for WC, whereas Xen (and default)
use it for WT.

xen_pte_val does the inverse conversion.

We hard-code assumptions about Linux's current PAT layout, but a
warning on the wrmsr to MSR_IA32_CR_PAT should point out any problems.
If necessary we could go to a more general table-based conversion between
Linux and Xen PAT entries.

hugetlbfs poses a problem at the moment, the x86 architecture uses the
same flag for _PAGE_PAT and _PAGE_PSE, which changes meaning depending
on which pagetable level we're using.  At the moment this should be OK
so long as nobody tries to do a pte_val on a hugetlbfs pte.

      xen: make sure xen_max_p2m_pfn is up to date · 2f7acb20
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Keep xen_max_p2m_pfn up to date with the end of the extra memory
we're adding.  It is possible that it will be too high since memory
may be truncated by a "mem=" option on the kernel command line, but
that won't matter.

      xen: correctly restore pfn_to_mfn_list_list after resume · fa24ba62
      由 Ian Campbell 提交于 
      pvops kernels >= 2.6.30 can currently only be saved and restored once. The
second attempt to save results in:

    ERROR Internal error: Frame# in pfn-to-mfn frame list is not in pseudophys
    ERROR Internal error: entry 0: p2m_frame_list[0] is 0xf2c2c2c2, max 0x120000
    ERROR Internal error: Failed to map/save the p2m frame list

I finally narrowed it down to:

            xen: split construction of p2m mfn tables from registration

            Build the p2m_mfn_list_list early with the rest of the p2m table, but
            register it later when the real shared_info structure is in place.
Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

The unforeseen side-effect of this change was to cause the mfn list list to not
be rebuilt on resume. Prior to this change it would have been rebuilt via
xen_post_suspend() -> xen_setup_shared_info() -> xen_setup_mfn_list_list().

Fix by explicitly calling xen_build_mfn_list_list() from xen_post_suspend().

      xen: re-register runstate area earlier on resume. · be012920
      由 Ian Campbell 提交于 
      This is necessary to ensure the runstate area is available to
xen_sched_clock before any calls to printk which will require it in
order to provide a timestamp.

I chose to pull the xen_setup_runstate_info out of xen_time_init into
the caller in order to maintain parity with calling
xen_setup_runstate_info separately from calling xen_time_resume.

      x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels · b4ecc126
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.

It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

 | commit 8efcbab6
 | Date:   Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
 |
 |     paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation

The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test).  The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons).  This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions.  But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).

If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).

Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:

		nopv		Pv-nospin	Pv-spin
CPU cycles	100.00%		99.89%		102.18%
instructions	100.00%		100.10%		100.15%
CPI		100.00%		99.79%		102.03%
cache ref	100.00%		100.84%		100.28%
cache miss	100.00%		90.47%		88.56%
cache miss rate	100.00%		89.72%		88.31%
branches	100.00%		99.93%		100.04%
branch miss	100.00%		103.66%		107.72%
branch miss rt	100.00%		103.73%		107.67%
wallclock	100.00%		99.90%		102.20%

The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.

(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates.  Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined.  On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)

So, what's the fix?

Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls.  For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:

<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq  *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>:	nop; nop		/* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled).  That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case.  The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.

The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks.  Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin).  Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

      xen: implement CPU hotplugging · d68d82af
      由 Alex Nixon 提交于 
      Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:

A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
its entry in /sys.

A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
or implement a more complex policy.
