This patch adds a pv_op for flush_tlb_others. Linux running on native hardware uses cross-CPU IPIs to flush the TLB on any CPU which may have a particular mm's pagetable entries cached in its TLB. This is inefficient in a paravirtualized environment, since the hypervisor knows which real CPUs actually contain cached mappings, which may be a small subset of a guest's VCPUs.

Implement the actual patching machinery. paravirt_patch_default() contains the logic to automatically patch a callsite based on a few simple rules: - if the paravirt_op function is paravirt_nop, then patch nops - if the paravirt_op function is a jmp target, then jmp to it - if the paravirt_op function is callable and doesn't clobber too much for the callsite, call it directly paravirt_patch_default is suitable as a default implementation of paravirt_ops.patch, will remove most of the expensive indirect calls in favour of either a direct call or a pile of nops. Backends may implement their own patcher, however. There are several helper functions to help with this: paravirt_patch_nop nop out a callsite paravirt_patch_ignore leave the callsite as-is paravirt_patch_call patch a call if the caller and callee have compatible clobbers paravirt_patch_jmp patch in a jmp paravirt_patch_insns patch some literal instructions over the callsite, if they fit This patch also implements more direct patches for the native case, so that when running on native hardware many common operations are implemented inline.

Wrap a set of interesting paravirt_ops calls in a wrapper which makes the callsites available for patching. Unfortunately this is pretty ugly because there's no way to get gcc to generate a function call, but also wrap just the callsite itself with the necessary labels. This patch supports functions with 0-4 arguments, and either void or returning a value. 64-bit arguments must be split into a pair of 32-bit arguments (lower word first). Small structures are returned in registers.

Use patch type identifiers derived from the offset of the operation in the paravirt_ops structure. This avoids having to maintain a separate enum for patch site types. Also, since the identifier is derived from the offset into paravirt_ops, the offset can be derived from the identifier. This is used to remove replicated information in the various callsite macros, which has been a source of bugs in the past. This patch also drops the fused save_fl+cli operation, which doesn't really add much and makes things more complex - specifically because it breaks the 1:1 relationship between identifiers and offsets. If this operation turns out to be particularly beneficial, then the right answer is to define a new entrypoint for it.

Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of an mm. Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are needed in common code. They are: arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec. The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for other architectures. It's called when an mm is first used.

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address space, which can be shared among all processes (since they all need the same kernel mappings). Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared between page tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of operation. There are several side-effects of this. One is that vmalloc will update the kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be propagated into all processes if the kernel mappings are not intrinsically shared. In the non-PAE case, this is done by maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this list is used when all process pagetables must be updated. pgd_list is threaded via otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work. Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires the PAE pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be page aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both these requirements. Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the user/kernel split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them from a slab cache; they're just allocated with get_free_page and initialized appropriately. (Of course the could be cached if there is just a single kernel pmd - which is the default with a 3G user/kernel split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add yet another case into this code).

Allocate a fixmap slot for use by a paravirt_ops implementation. This is intended for early-boot bootstrap mappings. Once the zones and allocator have been set up, it would be better to use get_vm_area() to allocate some virtual space. Xen uses this to map the hypervisor's shared info page, which doesn't have a pseudo-physical page number, and therefore can't be mapped ordinarily. It is needed early because it contains the vcpu state, including the interrupt mask.

This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's initial pagetable is set up. In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory. When the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc. When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor. In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary. Also, Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure all pagetables are always mapped read-only. In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if there's no page already present in the pagetable. This allows the Xen paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable, allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while keeping the existing ones. A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable is reflected in all other pagetables. This makes it possible to allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables. And: +From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot page table setup in head.S. So we need to redo the effort here, so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like. Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only, which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte function to avoid problems in this area.

Add a set of accessors to pack, unpack and modify page table entries (at all levels). This allows a paravirt implementation to control the contents of pgd/pmd/pte entries. For example, Xen uses this to convert the (pseudo-)physical address into a machine address when populating a pagetable entry, and converting back to pphys address when an entry is read.

Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT. When inlining code, this option attempts to trash registers in the patch-site's "clobber" field, on the grounds that this should find bugs with incorrect clobbers.

Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable compat mode at runtime. This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the kernel command line, or via sysctl. (Switching on a running system shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat VDSO will be upset if it goes away.) The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT. +From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch.

(It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses, and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead; but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)

Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down. This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.
