      xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add quirk for Xen 3.4 and shutdown watches. · cb6b6df1
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored 
      The commit 254d1a3f, titled
"xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel" assumes that the
XenBus backend can deal with reading of values from:
 "control/platform-feature-xs_reset_watches":

    ... a patch for xenstored is required so that it
    accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset
    23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored
    the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM
    guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated
    kexec boots will fail."

Sadly this is not true when using a Xen 3.4 hypervisor and booting a PVHVM
guest. We end up hanging at:

  err = xenbus_scanf(XBT_NIL, "control",
                        "platform-feature-xs_reset_watches", "%d", &supported);

This can easily be seen with guests hanging at xenbus_init:

NX (Execute Disable) protection: active
SMBIOS 2.4 present.
DMI: Xen HVM domU, BIOS 3.4.0 05/13/2011
Hypervisor detected: Xen HVM
Xen version 3.4.
Xen Platform PCI: I/O protocol version 1
... snip ..
calling  xenbus_init+0x0/0x27e @ 1

Reverting the commit or using the attached patch fixes the issue. This fix
checks whether the hypervisor is older than 4.0 and if so does not try to
perform the read.

      We actually do not do anything about it. Just return a default
value of zero and if the kernel tries to write anything but 0
we BUG_ON.

This fixes the case when an user tries to suspend the machine
and it blows up in save_processor_state b/c 'read_cr8' is set

      The hypervisor will trap it. However without this patch,

fixes it and sets it to the native_read_tscp call.

      xen/pciback: Restore the PCI config space after an FLR. · c341ca45
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored 
      When we do an FLR, or D0->D3_hot we may lose the BARs as the
device has turned itself off (and on). This means the device cannot
function unless the pci_restore_state is called - which it is
when the PCI device is unbound from the Xen PCI backend driver.
For PV guests it ends up calling pci_enable_device / pci_enable_msi[x]
which does the proper steps

That however is not happening if a HVM guest is run as QEMU
deals with PCI configuration space. QEMU also requires that the
device be "parked"  under the ownership of a pci-stub driver to
guarantee that the PCI device is not being used. Hence we
follow the same incantation as pci_reset_function does - by
doing an FLR, then restoring the PCI configuration space.

The result of this patch is that when you run lspci, you get
now this:

-       Region 0: [virtual] Memory at fe8c0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
-       Region 1: [virtual] Memory at fe800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
+       Region 0: Memory at fe8c0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
+       Region 1: Memory at fe800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
        Region 2: I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
-       Region 3: [virtual] Memory at fe8e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
+       Region 3: Memory at fe8e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

The [virtual] means that lspci read those entries from SysFS but when
it read them from the device it got a different value (0xfffffff).

      xen-pciback: properly clean up after calling pcistub_device_find() · e6aa70a0
      Jan Beulich authored 
      As the function calls pcistub_device_get() before returning non-NULL,
its callers need to take care of calling pcistub_device_put() on
(mostly, but not exclusively) error paths.

Otoh, the function already guarantees that the 'dev' member is non-NULL
upon successful return, so callers do not need to check for this a
second time.

      xen/gndev: Xen backend support for paged out grant targets V4. · c571898f
      Andres Lagar-Cavilla authored 
      Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).

This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).

* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
  target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.

The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.

The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.

V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.

V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
  error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.

V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

      xen-pciback: support wild cards in slot specifications · c3cb4709
      Jan Beulich authored 
      Particularly for hiding sets of SR-IOV devices, specifying them all
individually is rather cumbersome. Therefore, allow function and slot
numbers to be replaced by a wildcard character ('*').

Unfortunately this gets complicated by the in-kernel sscanf()
implementation not being really standard conformant - matching of
plain text tails cannot be checked by the caller (a patch to overcome
this will be sent shortly, and a follow-up patch for simplifying the
code is planned to be sent when that fixed went upstream).
