      x86/paravirt: revert exports to restore old behaviour · f97b8954
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain
non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops.  This restores the
old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case.

Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> adds:

Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules
shouldn't be using these operations anyway.  I don't think this is a
particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons:

1. These operations are still available to modules when not using
   CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline
   functions via the kernel headers.  Exporting the same functionality as
   GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between
   CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations.  If we really
   think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use),
   then we should solve the problem in a general way.

2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these
   modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled.

3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to
   use.  The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's
   no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces.  And it seems
   reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants.

Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24.  If people
really think that these operations should not be available to modules,
then we can address that separately.

      paravirt: clean up lazy mode handling · 8965c1c0
      由 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
      由 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.

      i386: Make patching more robust, fix paravirt issue · ab144f5e
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Commit 19d36ccd "x86: Fix alternatives
and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" uses code which is
being patched for patching.

In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it
calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions
with nop_out().  nop_out calls text_poke() which calls
lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val):
that call site is one of the places we patch.

If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only
need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself.
This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to
marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it
does now.  It also means all patching goes through text_poke(), which
is known to be safe (apply_alternatives is also changed to make a
single patch).

      Add a sched_clock paravirt_op · 688340ea
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      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.  This means the usual paravirt_ops
technique of using an inline function won't work in this case.

      paravirt: helper to disable all IO space · d572929c
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      In a virtual environment, device drivers such as legacy IDE will waste
quite a lot of time probing for their devices which will never appear.
This helper function allows a paravirt implementation to lay claim to
the whole iomem and ioport space, thereby disabling all device drivers
trying to claim IO resources.

      Revert "[PATCH] paravirt: Add startup infrastructure for paravirtualization" · 5a18c92a
      由 Eric W. Biederman 提交于 
      This reverts commit c9ccf30d.

Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in
%esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are
identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain.

The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so
nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed
nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected.  The
pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use.

We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the
kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is
clearly not their long term direction.

So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people
trying to maintain head.S
