      xen: deal with virtually mapped percpu data · 9976b39b
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:
      
       - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
         walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and
      
       - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
         we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
         linear mapping
      
      This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

      x86: remove the Voyager 32-bit subarch · 965c7eca
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: remove unused/broken code
      
      The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
      and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
      v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
      
      No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
      Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
      discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
      fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
      
      In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
      has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
      build problems already known, needs serious and significant
      changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
      
      CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
      been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
      
      While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
      voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
      clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
      case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
      after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
      fashion.
      
      So remove this inactive code for now.

      x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32 · ccbeed3a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
              overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit
      
      On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
      doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
      In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
      handling optional by doing the followings.
      
      * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.
      
      * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
        LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
        even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
        and simplifies entry path with error code.
      
      * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
        lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
        lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.
      
      * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.
      
      xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

      We need to access percpu data fairly early, so set up the percpu
      registers as soon as possible.  We only need to load the appropriate
      segment register.  We already have a GDT, but its hard to change it
      early because we need to manipulate the pagetable to do so, and that
      hasn't been set up yet.

      In the native case, pte_val, make_pte, etc are all just identity
      functions, so there's no need to clobber a lot of registers over them.

      x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure · ecb93d1c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: Optimization
      
      One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
      there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
      The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
      set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
      use those registers without restriction.  This includes the function
      argument registers, and several others.
      
      This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
      thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
      callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
      be conventional compiler-generated code.  In many cases (particularly
      performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
      and need not use the compiler's calling convention.
      
      Standard calling convention is:
      	 arguments	    return	scratch
      x86-32	 eax edx ecx	    eax		?
      x86-64	 rdi rsi rdx rcx    rax		r8 r9 r10 r11
      
      The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers.  The return
      register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
      unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).
      
      Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
      paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
      compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.
      
      The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
      interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first.  This is
      particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.
      
      XXX Deal with VMI.  What's their calling convention?

      pte_flags() was introduced as a new pvop in order to extract just the

      extracting the page number as well.  It turns out this operation is
      not needed, because simply using a mask to extract the flags from a
