Fix the race between invalidate_inode_pages and do_no_page. Andrea Arcangeli identified a subtle race between invalidation of pages from pagecache with userspace mappings, and do_no_page. The issue is that invalidation has to shoot down all mappings to the page, before it can be discarded from the pagecache. Between shooting down ptes to a particular page, and actually dropping the struct page from the pagecache, do_no_page from any process might fault on that page and establish a new mapping to the page just before it gets discarded from the pagecache. The most common case where such invalidation is used is in file truncation. This case was catered for by doing a sort of open-coded seqlock between the file's i_size, and its truncate_count. Truncation will decrease i_size, then increment truncate_count before unmapping userspace pages; do_no_page will read truncate_count, then find the page if it is within i_size, and then check truncate_count under the page table lock and back out and retry if it had subsequently been changed (ptl will serialise against unmapping, and ensure a potentially updated truncate_count is actually visible). Complexity and documentation issues aside, the locking protocol fails in the case where we would like to invalidate pagecache inside i_size. do_no_page can come in anytime and filemap_nopage is not aware of the invalidation in progress (as it is when it is outside i_size). The end result is that dangling (->mapping == NULL) pages that appear to be from a particular file may be mapped into userspace with nonsense data. Valid mappings to the same place will see a different page. Andrea implemented two working fixes, one using a real seqlock, another using a page->flags bit. He also proposed using the page lock in do_no_page, but that was initially considered too heavyweight. However, it is not a global or per-file lock, and the page cacheline is modified in do_no_page to increment _count and _mapcount anyway, so a further modification should not be a large performance hit. Scalability is not an issue. This patch implements this latter approach. ->nopage implementations return with the page locked if it is possible for their underlying file to be invalidated (in that case, they must set a special vm_flags bit to indicate so). do_no_page only unlocks the page after setting up the mapping completely. invalidation is excluded because it holds the page lock during invalidation of each page (and ensures that the page is not mapped while holding the lock). This also allows significant simplifications in do_no_page, because we have the page locked in the right place in the pagecache from the start.

We've been using the convention that vfs_foo is the function that calls a filesystem-specific foo method if it exists, or falls back on a generic method if it doesn't; thus vfs_foo is what is called when some other part of the kernel (normally lockd or nfsd) wants to get a lock, whereas foo is what filesystems call to use the underlying local functionality as part of their lock implementation. So rename setlease to vfs_setlease (which will call a filesystem-specific setlease after a later patch) and __setlease to setlease. Also, vfs_setlease need only be GPL-exported as long as it's only needed by lockd and nfsd. Signed-off-by: N"J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG. When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg(). When disabled, it is a NOP ... just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG. The specific code was moved out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support. That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug output, selected at compile time. Many driver authors have found this idiom to be very useful. A typical usage model is for "normal" debug messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a performance or syslog load. On the other hand "verbose" messages would be noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops. Xen has its own IPI mechanisms, and has no dependency on any APIC-based IPI. The smp_ops hooks and the flush_tlb_others pv_op allow a Xen guest to avoid all APIC code in arch/i386 (the only apic operation is a single apic_read for the apic version number). One subtle point which needs to be addressed is unpinning pagetables when another cpu may have a lazy tlb reference to the pagetable. Xen will not allow an in-use pagetable to be unpinned, so we must find any other cpus with a reference to the pagetable and get them to shoot down their references.

Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels. Each guest domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events, inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs. Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip. Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and IRQs. Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between event channels and irqs.

This patch is a rollup of all the core pieces of the Xen implementation, including: - booting and setup - pagetable setup - privileged instructions - segmentation - interrupt flags - upcalls - multicall batching BOOTING AND SETUP The vmlinux image is decorated with ELF notes which tell the Xen domain builder what the kernel's requirements are; the domain builder then constructs the address space accordingly and starts the kernel. Xen has its own entrypoint for the kernel (contained in an ELF note). The ELF notes are set up by xen-head.S, which is included into head.S. In principle it could be linked separately, but it seems to provoke lots of binutils bugs. Because the domain builder starts the kernel in a fairly sane state (32-bit protected mode, paging enabled, flat segments set up), there's not a lot of setup needed before starting the kernel proper. The main steps are: 1. Install the Xen paravirt_ops, which is simply a matter of a structure assignment. 2. Set init_mm to use the Xen-supplied pagetables (analogous to the head.S generated pagetables in a native boot). 3. Reserve address space for Xen, since it takes a chunk at the top of the address space for its own use. 4. Call start_kernel() PAGETABLE SETUP Once we hit the main kernel boot sequence, it will end up calling back via paravirt_ops to set up various pieces of Xen specific state. One of the critical things which requires a bit of extra care is the construction of the initial init_mm pagetable. Because Xen places tight constraints on pagetables (an active pagetable must always be valid, and must always be mapped read-only to the guest domain), we need to be careful when constructing the new pagetable to keep these constraints in mind. It turns out that the easiest way to do this is use the initial Xen-provided pagetable as a template, and then just insert new mappings for memory where a mapping doesn't already exist. This means that during pagetable setup, it uses a special version of xen_set_pte which ignores any attempt to remap a read-only page as read-write (since Xen will map its own initial pagetable as RO), but lets other changes to the ptes happen, so that things like NX are set properly. PRIVILEGED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEGMENTATION When the kernel runs under Xen, it runs in ring 1 rather than ring 0. This means that it is more privileged than user-mode in ring 3, but it still can't run privileged instructions directly. Non-performance critical instructions are dealt with by taking a privilege exception and trapping into the hypervisor and emulating the instruction, but more performance-critical instructions have their own specific paravirt_ops. In many cases we can avoid having to do any hypercalls for these instructions, or the Xen implementation is quite different from the normal native version. The privileged instructions fall into the broad classes of: Segmentation: setting up the GDT and the GDT entries, LDT, TLS and so on. Xen doesn't allow the GDT to be directly modified; all GDT updates are done via hypercalls where the new entries can be validated. This is important because Xen uses segment limits to prevent the guest kernel from damaging the hypervisor itself. Traps and exceptions: Xen uses a special format for trap entrypoints, so when the kernel wants to set an IDT entry, it needs to be converted to the form Xen expects. Xen sets int 0x80 up specially so that the trap goes straight from userspace into the guest kernel without going via the hypervisor. sysenter isn't supported. Kernel stack: The esp0 entry is extracted from the tss and provided to Xen. TLB operations: the various TLB calls are mapped into corresponding Xen hypercalls. Control registers: all the control registers are privileged. The most important is cr3, which points to the base of the current pagetable, and we handle it specially. Another instruction we treat specially is CPUID, even though its not privileged. We want to control what CPU features are visible to the rest of the kernel, and so CPUID ends up going into a paravirt_op. Xen implements this mainly to disable the ACPI and APIC subsystems. INTERRUPT FLAGS Xen maintains its own separate flag for masking events, which is contained within the per-cpu vcpu_info structure. Because the guest kernel runs in ring 1 and not 0, the IF flag in EFLAGS is completely ignored (and must be, because even if a guest domain disables interrupts for itself, it can't disable them overall). (A note on terminology: "events" and interrupts are effectively synonymous. However, rather than using an "enable flag", Xen uses a "mask flag", which blocks event delivery when it is non-zero.) There are paravirt_ops for each of cli/sti/save_fl/restore_fl, which are implemented to manage the Xen event mask state. The only thing worth noting is that when events are unmasked, we need to explicitly see if there's a pending event and call into the hypervisor to make sure it gets delivered. UPCALLS Xen needs a couple of upcall (or callback) functions to be implemented by each guest. One is the event upcalls, which is how events (interrupts, effectively) are delivered to the guests. The other is the failsafe callback, which is used to report errors in either reloading a segment register, or caused by iret. These are implemented in i386/kernel/entry.S so they can jump into the normal iret_exc path when necessary. MULTICALL BATCHING Xen provides a multicall mechanism, which allows multiple hypercalls to be issued at once in order to mitigate the cost of trapping into the hypervisor. This is particularly useful for context switches, since the 4-5 hypercalls they would normally need (reload cr3, update TLS, maybe update LDT) can be reduced to one. This patch implements a generic batching mechanism for hypercalls, which gets used in many places in the Xen code.

The tsc-based get_scheduled_cycles interface is not a good match for Xen's runstate accounting, which reports everything in nanoseconds. This patch replaces this interface with a sched_clock interface, which matches both Xen and VMI's requirements. In order to do this, we: 1. replace get_scheduled_cycles with sched_clock 2. hoist cycles_2_ns into a common header 3. update vmi accordingly One thing to note: because sched_clock is implemented as a weak function in kernel/sched.c, we must define a real function in order to override this weak binding.
