      cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus() · 86ef5c9a
      Gautham R Shenoy 提交于
      Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
      get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the
      refcount semantics in these operations.
      
      The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but
      it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data
      structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.
      
      In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use
      cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the
      cpu_present_map there.

      virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes · 42b36cc0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
      aligned to an N-byte boundary.  But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
      free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
      of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
      
      So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
      boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
      pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

      [x86] remove uses of magic macros for boot_params access · 30c82645
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Instead of using magic macros for boot_params access, simply use the
      boot_params structure.

      paravirt: clean up lazy mode handling · 8965c1c0
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
       1. enter lazy cpu mode
       2. leave lazy cpu mode
       3. enter lazy mmu mode
       4. leave lazy mmu mode
       5. flush pending batched operations
      
      This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
      all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
      particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
      seems to just cause complication.
      
      This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
      "leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops.  All the logic
      associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
      (basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
      a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
      Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
      re-entering the lazy mode.
      
      The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
      are much simpler.

      paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_ops · 93b1eab3
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
      functionally related ops:
      
      pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
      pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
      pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
      pv_time_ops - time-related functions
      pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
      pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
      pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
      pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables
      
      There are several motivations for this:
      
      1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
         i386/x86-64 specific.  This makes it easier to share common stuff
         while allowing separate implementations where needed.
      
      2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
         need selected parts of it.  This allows us to export on a case by case
         basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).
      
      3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.
      
      Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
      patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
      into jmp/calls when patching.  It is only instantiated when needed.
