xen/mmu: Add the notion of identity (1-1) mapping.
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],| /-----------------\ | 0 |------>| &mfn_list[1],| /---------------\ | ~0, ~0, .. | |-----| | ..., ~0, ~0 | | ~0, ~0, [x]---+----->| IDENTITY [@256] | | 1 |---\ \--------------/ | [p2m_identity]+\ | IDENTITY [@257] | |-----| \ | [p2m_identity]+\\ | .... | | 2 |--\ \-------------------->| ... | \\ \----------------/ |-----| \ \---------------/ \\ | 3 |\ \ \\ p2m_identity |-----| \ \-------------------->/---------------\ /-----------------\ | .. +->+ | [p2m_identity]+-->| ~0, ~0, ~0, ... | \-----/ / | [p2m_identity]+-->| ..., ~0 | / /---------------\ | .... | \-----------------/ / | IDENTITY[@0] | /-+-[x], ~0, ~0.. | / | IDENTITY[@256]|<----/ \---------------/ / | ~0, ~0, .... | | \---------------/ | p2m_missing p2m_missing /------------------\ /------------\ | [p2m_mid_missing]+---->| ~0, ~0, ~0 | | [p2m_mid_missing]+---->| ..., ~0 | \------------------/ \------------/ where ~0 is INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.
