Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2. data.init2 gets .data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment. Depending on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the end of the file. modpost isn't too happy about it and fails build - as reported by Pawel Dziekonski: Building modules, stage 2.

Now that x86-64 has directly accessible percpu variables, it can also implement the direct versions of these operations, which operate on a vcpu_info structure directly embedded in the percpu area. In fact, the 64-bit versions are more or less identical, and so can be shared. The only two differences are: 1. xen_restore_fl_direct takes its argument in eax on 32-bit, and rdi on 64-bit. Unfortunately it isn't possible to directly refer to the 2nd lsb of rdi directly (as you can with %ah), so the code isn't quite as dense. 2. check_events needs to variants to save different registers.

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.

由 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? Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: Optimization Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments, the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on native. On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return. On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov". This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument, and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a mov as appropriate. At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the pagetable entry conversion functions. The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks (2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

Impact: fix linker screwup on x86_32 Recent x86_64 zerobased patches introduced PERCPU_VADDR() to put .data.percpu to a predefined address and re-defined PERCPU() in terms of it. The new macro defined one extra symbol, __per_cpu_load, for LMA of the section so that the init data could be accessed. This new symbol introduced the following problems to x86_32. 1. If __per_cpu_load is defined outside of .data.percpu as an absolute symbol, relocation generation for relocatable kernel fails due to absolute relocation. 2. If __per_cpu_load is put inside .data.percpu with absolute address assignment to work around #1, linker gets confused and under certain configurations ends up relocating the symbol against .data.percpu such that the load address gets added on top of already set load address. As x86_32 doesn't use predefined address for .data.percpu, there's no need for it to care about the possibility of __per_cpu_load being different from __per_cpu_start. This patch defines PERCPU() separately so that __per_cpu_load is defined inside .data.percpu so that everything is ordinary linking-wise.

Commit de33c8db ("Fix OOPS in mmap_region() when merging adjacent VM_LOCKED file segments") unified the vma merging of anonymous and file maps to just one place, which simplified the code and fixed a use-after-free bug that could cause an oops. But by doing the merge opportunistically before even having called ->mmap() on the file method, it now compares two different 'vm_flags' values: the pre-mmap() value of the new not-yet-formed vma, and previous mappings of the same file around it. And in doing so, it refused to merge the common file case, which adds a marker to say "I can be made non-linear". This fixes it by just adding a set of flags that don't have to match, because we know they are ok to merge. Currently it's only that single VM_CAN_NONLINEAR flag, but at least conceptually there could be others in the future.
