And just to clarify / amend my reply just sent: I also don't see why you would need to expose the System Table to Dom0. Did anyone of you look at how we draw the boundary between Xen and Dom0 on x86? If not, I'd suggest doing so. If so, I'd like to ask for proper reasoning for any item of data exposed to Dom0 beyond what we currently expose.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.6 v3] libxl: fix libxl__build_hvm error code return path
In 25652f23 ("tools/libxl: detect and avoid conflicts with RDM"), new code was added to use rc to store libxl function call return value, which complied to libxl coding style. That patch, however, didn't change other locations where return value was stored in ret. In the end libxl__build_hvm could return 0 when it failed. Change all assignments to ret to assignment to rc and abolish ret.

That makes sense, yes. The close should probably have an associated comment since this will be a bit subtle. Perhaps rather than trying to repeat the conditions which lead to it being opened we should just do: int restore_fd_to_close = -1; ... restore_fd_to_close = restore_fd = open(restore_file, O_RDONLY); ... if (restore_fd_to_close >= 0) { close(restore_fd_to_close); restore_fd_to_close = -1; } Strictly speaking we ought to check the return of close too I suppose. > Whether we should close send_fd and recv_fd in migrate_receive is > another matter. I don't think we should. They are just stdin and stdout, > not closing them wouldn't cause us any trouble. The trouble they cause is holding kernel resources associated with the socket, not to mention leaving a possible (perhaps unlikely) avenue of attack from the network to a process which isn't expecting it... Any we should be redirecting those to /dev/null as part of daemonising as a matter of course and it looks like do_daemonize does that, so this is already fine I think.

Or rather "would like to"? As said in another reply to > Shannon, I didn't see any rationale spelled out for this fundamental > difference to x86. I think the fundamental difference is that h/w virt features are not (always) "discoverable" through h/w interfaces on ARM whereas they are visible in e.g. cpuid on x86 and not described in ACPI (x86 is only just gaining hardware support for virtualised interrupts so perhaps this will change? I think it doesn't have any hypervisor dedicated timer sources). So on ARM the firmware tables contain things like the additional virtualisation register regions in the interrupt controller description and the hypervisor timer interrupt in the timer block description. So we would like to hide these from dom0. Perhaps instead we should teach dom0 to notice that it was launched in Kernel mode rather than Hyp mode (which is detectable) and therefore ignore these unusable resources. Now you mention it that does sound sensible and I imagine is even already (close to) true for a Linux kernel to handle e.g. older firmware with newer device tree. The other reason for modification is to hide the Xen console device (i.e. one UART) from the dom0 kernel, since it is unusable. How does that work on x86? Do you just not bother and you expect the admin to arrange the configuration to work or is there some other trick? BTW, IIRC x86 does modify at least one ACPI table which is the DMAR (I think), to hide the IOMMU from the guest? That's another table we would want to frob on ARM I think (or it's equivalent, which I think is IORT). Ian. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

When it's I/O port based we simply disallow access to the ports (i.e. Dom0 reads return all ones, Dom0 writes get dropped). When it's MMIO based (which iirc became an option only in the not so distant past) we can't always do that, since there could be other devices on the same MMIO page. In any event we then pci_hide_devices() or pci_ro_device() the device (see ns16550_init_postirq()) to limit the damage Dom0 can do. > BTW, IIRC x86 does modify at least one ACPI table which is the DMAR (I > think), to hide the IOMMU from the guest?

I'd therefore prefer code > duplication over code sharing here. Actually after seeing the size and quality of the resulting patches, I am starting to feel the same way. In terms of code changes, I was thinking that the best result would be moving the "boilerplate" code from xen/arch/x86/bzimage.c to xen/common/inflate.c, see below, then the interface would become just perform_gunzip and gzip_check. But I guess you wouldn't want inflate.c to be modified, right? Alternatively we could move it to a new file, let's call it gunzip.h, that would #include "inflate.c", so: bzimage.c -- #include --> gunzip.h -- #include --> inflate.c And again we just leave the perform_gunzip and gzip_check calls in bzimage.c.

It is my understanding that - as seen in the patch context - the page's MFN being read from act->frame implies that (together with the condition of the respective if() the else it's sitting in, namely the fact that act->pin is non-zero when we get here). It would seem odd to state in a comment what surrounding code does (I would agree to the need of a comment if the requirement was satisfied in a place far away).

(WRT the call to page_get_owner in page_get_owner_and_reference > itself) Or have I misunderstood the assertion being made here? That path is fine -- if the count was zero, it will return NULL before trying to get the owner. But I'm not convinced that the assertion is correct -- are there really no pages anywhere that have a recount but no owner? What about, e.g. shadow pool pages or other uses of MEMF_no_owner? If a guest can cause Xen to try to get_page() one of those, then we'd hit the new assertion. How about unlikely(!owner) path that drops the taken ref instead? It'd be great to add a comment explaining the semantics of the call, since the uninformed reader might expect it to take a ref in all cases. Cheers, Tim. > Likewise where does the preexisting reference in the grant table case come > from?

Or (since you're mentioning valgrind) are (without this patch) also leaking stuff in some way? I'm confused by he "not be what user wants" part, as, IMO, the actual user --i.e., the person writing the config file and then issuing the `xl ceate' command-- wouldn't notice any difference, would it?

What are you suggesting they wanted instead? We are only talking about the bitmap right, and the typical/sensible config will have #vcpus <= #pcpus, so they will fit even if they "waste" some bits during parsing. I'm almost inclined to suggest that if a user wants #vcpus > #pcpus they should have to specify maxvcpus and not rely on the vnuma parsing code inferring this fact. IOW maybe this code could just error out (or print a warning) if this happens? + a doc update. > Calculate the maximum number of vcpus before allocating vcpu bitmap. > This requires parsing the same config options twice.

I'm not sure a macro was really the right answer here. e.g. a function which takes a pointer to a bitmap, if the bitmap is null return the size which would be needed, otherwise fill in the bitmap, or something. That could also be split more obviously into a refactoring step and then the addition of the new checks. > Signed-off-by: Wei Liu > --- > Valgrind is still clean after this patch applied. > > This patch looks massive because it involves indentation changes, but in > fact the meat of it is small.

[Xen-devel] PCI Pass-through in Xen ARM: Draft 4
- | PCI Pass-through in Xen ARM | - manish.ja...@caviumnetworks.com --- Draft-4 - Introduction - This document describes the design for the PCI passthrough support in Xen ARM. The target system is an ARM 64bit SoC with GICv3 and SMMU v2 and PCIe devices. - Revision History - Changes from Draft-1: - a) map_mmio hypercall removed from earlier draft b) device bar mapping into guest not 1:1 c) Reserved Area in guest address space for mapping PCI-EP BARs in Stage2. d) Xenstore Update: For each PCI-EP BAR (IPA-PA mapping info). Changes from Draft-2: - a) DomU boot information updated with boot-time device assignment and hotplug. b) SMMU description added c) Mapping between streamID - bdf - deviceID. d) assign_device hypercall to include virtual(guest) sbdf. Toolstack to generate guest sbdf rather than pciback. Changes from Draft-3: - a) Fixed typos and added more description b) NUMA and PCI passthrough description removed for now. c) Added example from Ian's Mail - Index - (1) Background (2) Basic PCI Support in Xen ARM (2.1) pci_hostbridge and pci_hostbridge_ops (2.2) PHYSDEVOP_HOSTBRIDGE_ADD hypercall (2.3) XEN Internal API (3) SMMU programming (3.1) Additions for PCI Passthrough (3.2) Mapping between streamID - deviceID - pci sbdf - requesterID (4) Assignment of PCI device (4.1) Dom0 (4.1.1) Stage 2 Mapping of GITS_ITRANSLATER space (4k) (4.1.1.1) For Dom0 (4.1.1.2) For DomU (4.1.1.2.1) Hypercall Details: XEN_DOMCTL_get_itranslater_space (4.2) DomU (4.2.1) Reserved Areas in guest memory space (4.2.2) Xenstore Update: For each PCI-EP BAR (IPA-PA mapping info). (4.2.3) Hypercall Modification for bdf mapping notification to xen (5) DomU FrontEnd Bus Changes (5.1) Change in Linux PCI frontend bus and gicv3-its node binding for domU (6) Glossary (7) References - 1.Background of PCI passthrough - Passthrough refers to assigning a PCI device to a guest domain (domU) such that the guest has full control over the device. The MMIO space / interrupts are managed by the guest itself, close to how a bare kernel manages a device. Device's access to guest address space needs to be isolated and protected. SMMU (System MMU - IOMMU in ARM) is programmed by xen hypervisor to allow device access guest memory for data transfer and sending MSI/X interrupts. PCI devices generated message signalled interrupt writes are within guest address spaces which are also translated using SMMU. For this reason the GITS (ITS address space) Interrupt Translation Register space is mapped in the guest address space. 2.Basic PCI Support for ARM - The APIs to read write from PCI configuration space are based on segment:bdf. How the sbdf is mapped to a physical address is under the realm of the PCI host controller. ARM PCI support in Xen, introduces PCI host controller similar to what exists in Linux. Host controller drivers registers callbacks, which are invoked on matching the compatible property in pci device tree node. Note: as pci devices are enumerated the pci node in device tree refers to the host controller. (TODO: for ACPI unimplemented) 2.1pci_hostbridge and pci_hostbridge_ops - The init function in the PCI host driver calls to register hostbridge callbacks: int pci_hostbridge_register(pci_hostbridge_t *pcihb); struct pci_hostbridge_ops { u32 (*pci_conf_read)(struct pci_hostbridge*, u32 bus, u32 devfn, u32 reg, u32 bytes); void (*pci_conf_write)(struct pci_hostbridge*, u32 bus, u32 devfn, u32 reg, u32 bytes, u32 val); }; struct pci_hostbridge{ u32 segno; paddr_t cfg_base; paddr_t cfg_size; struct dt_device_node *dt_node; struct pci_hostbridge_ops ops; struct list_head list; }; A PCI conf_read function would internally be as follows: u32 pcihb_conf_read(u32 seg, u32 bus, u32 devfn,u32 re

Just because it was done this way before, it doesn't mean that it is the right way of doing it. I think is bad design to expose the presence of certain functionalities in ACPI tables and then expect that the Dom0 kernel won't use them. ACPI tables should describe only and all the hardware which is exposed to Dom0. Anything else is a mistake. For example it is only natural for the kernel to try to use the GIC hyp functionalities if they are described, while actually they are not emulated by Xen at all. I would rather teach Xen to fix the tables now, than later try teach every possible Dom0 kernel (Linux, FreeBSD, etc) to ignore a set of info which are wrong but still passed to them anyway. Moreover the list of things to ignore can change over time. It is just a bad ABI to maintain. In terms of code we could share in Linux between Xen x86 and Xen ARM regarding dealing with ACPI info we want to ignore, unfortunately there isn't much of it, because we are mostly talking about new ARM specific tables here (GIC, arch_timer, etc). ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

That would be dead code - a page the ref count of wasn't zero prior to the function taking an extra ref shouldn't be unowned. If the new ASSERT() ever triggers we know we have a bug elsewhere (which would be hidden if we did what you suggest). > It'd be great to add a comment explaining the semantics of the call, > since the uninformed reader might expect it to take a ref in all > cases. It would seem to me that this ought to be implicit from the __must_check that the patch adds, as otherwise there would be no (reasonable, i.e. leaving aside refcount overflow) way to get back NULL here. But yes, if you think this is _too_ implicit, I could certainly add a comment to the declaration. Jan ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

I don't see why it would - the put_page() (as you say a few lines down in your reply) follows right afterwards. > A variant of get_page which took an order argument and returned either with > 0 or 1< suppose we don't already have one of those, but you could add it.

Does page_get_owner not suffice? That could produce wrong results when the page previously had no reference (and namely, due to the unions used in struct page_info, was free or in use as a shadow page).

Correct.

Anything else is a mistake. That depends on the perspective you take: Especially for a PV Dom0 it is quite reasonable for the kernel to be aware of certain implications from running under a (or the) hypervisor it knows of. I agree that the perspective may shift when it comes to HVM-like Dom0 (albeit in the spectrum I'd rather see ARM near PVH, which again is supposed to be aware). > For example it is only natural for the kernel to try to use the GIC hyp > functionalities if they are described, while actually they are not > emulated by Xen at all. See Ian's earlier reply: It can also be considered natural for it to be aware that when run in EL2 to not use EL1 functionality. > I would rather teach Xen to fix the tables now, than later try teach > every possible Dom0 kernel (Linux, FreeBSD, etc) to ignore a set of info > which are wrong but still passed to them anyway. Moreover the list of > things to ignore can change over time. It is just a bad ABI to maintain. I don't think there's a clear advantage to teaching Xen of new tables to hide over teaching Dom0 of new tables to ignore - it much depends on release cycles and such which one would be more beneficial.

If the cost of supporting that is this patch then I disagree. If you can find a way to do it simply and cleanly then fine, maybe.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 0/2] Refactor ioreq server for better performance.
XenGT leverages ioreq server to track and forward the accesses to GPU I/O resources, e.g. the PPGTT(per-process graphic translation tables). Currently, ioreq server uses rangeset to track the BDF/ PIO/MMIO ranges to be emulated. To select an ioreq server, the rangeset is searched to see if the I/O range is recorded. However, traversing the link list inside rangeset could be time consuming when number of ranges is too high. On HSW platform, number of PPGTTs for each vGPU could be several hundred. On BDW, this value could be several thousand. This patch series refactored rangeset to base it on red-back tree, so that the searching would be more efficient. Besides, this patchset also splits the tracking of MMIO and guest ram ranges into different rangesets. And to accommodate more ranges, limitation of the number of ranges in an ioreq server, MAX_NR_IO_RANGES is changed - future patches might be provided to tune this with other approaches. Changes in v4: Keep the name HVMOP_IO_RANGE_MEMORY for MMIO resources, and add a new one, HVMOP_IO_RANGE_WP_MEM, for write-protected memory. Changes in v3: 1> Use a seperate rangeset for guest ram pages in ioreq server; 2> Refactor rangeset, instead of introduce a new data structure. Changes in v2: 1> Split the original patch into 2; 2> Take Paul Durrant's comments: a> Add a name member in the struct rb_rangeset, and use the 'q' debug key to dump the ranges in ioreq server; b> Keep original routine names for hvm ioreq server; c> Commit message changes - mention that a future patch to change the maximum ranges inside ioreq server.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 1/2] Differentiate IO/mem resources tracked by ioreq server
Currently in ioreq server, guest write-protected ram pages are tracked in the same rangeset with device mmio resources. Yet unlike device mmio, which can be in big chunks, the guest write- protected pages may be discrete ranges with 4K bytes each. This patch uses a seperate rangeset for the guest ram pages. And a new ioreq type, IOREQ_TYPE_WP_MEM, is defined. Note: Previously, a new hypercall or subop was suggested to map write-protected pages into ioreq server. However, it turned out handler of this new hypercall would be almost the same with the existing pair - HVMOP_[un]map_io_range_to_ioreq_server, and there's already a type parameter in this hypercall. So no new hypercall defined, only a new type is introduced.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 2/2] Refactor rangeset structure for better performance.
This patch refactors struct rangeset to base it on the red-black tree structure, instead of on the current doubly linked list. By now, ioreq leverages rangeset to keep track of the IO/memory resources to be emulated. Yet when number of ranges inside one ioreq server is very high, traversing a doubly linked list could be time consuming. With this patch, the time complexity for searching a rangeset can be improved from O(n) to O(log(n)). Interfaces of rangeset still remain the same, and no new APIs introduced.

PVH has always been the wrong analogy for ARM guests. Guest kernels boot following native boot paths. They don't require emulation because the ARM architecture is much more flexible and legacy free compared to x86, not because we instructed the kernel to ignore certain pieces of hardware. So they are like PV on HVM without any need for QEMU because there is nothing to emulate.

There are a couple of very obvious advantages: - there is one Xen, there are many Dom0 kernels - if Xen changes ACPI tables, Dom0 won't be surprised by the fact that actually they don't match the hardware. Keep in mind that we don't have 10 years of PV history on ARM. People still think of this as

I see. Maybe some new helper to encapsulate the get+put to validate the presence of a current owner would be nice in the future then, but not a blocker for this patch I guess. There isn't a race here is there? What if the reference were dropped after this check but before the guest_physmap_add_page (which takes new references)? We are implicitly relying on a guarantee made elsewhere that a direct mapped guest never drops the final ref until it is destroyed (which can't be happening in this window I think), but it would be obviously safer against such bugs if we just held the ref until after the p2m was updated. Another thing for a future/4.7 cleanup I guess. Ian. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

Btw, as I was about to add a comment as you asked for along with adding the one Ian wants I realized that page_get_owner_and_reference() is a helper of get_page(), i.e. their behavior of not always acquiring a reference is the same.

Timers are too, it even applies to IOMMU's which have both stage1 and stage2 bits. BTW, I think kernels _already_ need to deal with a lot of this because in reality nobody modifies the DTB when they use a firmware which launches the kernel in EL1.

If the maximum number of vcpus specified in vNUMA doesn't match maximum number of vcpus specified in configuration file, error out. That would maybe lead to a smaller patch.

Non-EL2 specific resources should defenitely be removed.

Right, and I think that's almost always going to be the case by virtue of the architecture. You can't use these resources from EL1 (however you got there) so you need checks. > However, what about for other resources? Having code somewhere that > says "hide this random piece of hardware if you're Xen dom0" sounds > awful to me. I know it's only the serial port right now, but still. Right, that's the only bit I'm aware of that I'm not sure about, which is why I was curious how x86 managed it (I've seen but not digested Jan's answer). At least this has the virtue of being an extra table, and tagging on a new one of those has more limited impact on the tables I think.

I disagree that xl should be dumb. It is perfectly fine for xl to do convenient things automatically while still detecting things which are likely to be incorrect or accidental or not handling all the strange edge cases automatically (so long as they are possible manually).

Yet unlike device mmio, which can be in big chunks, the guest write- protected pages may be discrete ranges with 4K bytes each. Would the interfaces be better using xen_pfn_t rather than using uint64_t to pass addresses round where the bottom 12 bits will always be zero? Paul Thank you, Paul. Well, I'm not quite sure if the bottom 12 bits of the address are zero. I had thought these addresses are just guest physical ones causing the ept violation, and not aligned down to its page address, like the MMIO. So, if our handler code has already done that, using xen_pfn_t could be better(my developing machine encountered some hardware problem, will check the code tomorrow) :) Yu This patch uses a seperate rangeset for the guest ram pages. And a new ioreq type, IOREQ_TYPE_WP_MEM, is defined. Note: Previously, a new hypercall or subop was suggested to map write-protected pages into ioreq server. However, it turned out handler of this new hypercall would be almost the same with the existing pair - HVMOP_[un]map_io_range_to_ioreq_server, and there's already a type parameter in this hypercall. So no new hypercall defined, only a new type is introduced.

This patch refactors struct rangeset to base it on the red-black tree structure, instead of on the current doubly linked list. By now, ioreq leverages rangeset to keep track of the IO/memory resources to be emulated. Yet when number of ranges inside one ioreq server is very high, traversing a doubly linked list could be time consuming. With this patch, the time complexity for searching a rangeset can be improved from O(n) to O(log(n)). Interfaces of rangeset still remain the same, and no new APIs introduced.
