      xen: make -fstack-protector work under Xen · 577eebea
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      -fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value.
      gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make
      sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun.
      
      On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu
      base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's
      base as normal.
      
      On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel
      percpu %fs segment register).  This requires setting up the full kernel
      GDT and then loading %gs accordingly.  We also need to make sure %gs is
      initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too.
      
      To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on
      both architectures.
      
      Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT
      and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several
      files need to have stack-protector inhibited.
      
      [ Impact: allow Xen booting with stack-protector enabled ]

      xen: implement CPU hotplugging · d68d82af
      Alex Nixon 提交于
      Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging:
      
      A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the
      CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing
      its entry in /sys.
      
      A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does
      not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be
      caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available,
      or implement a more complex policy.
