arm/xen: Use alloc_percpu rather than __alloc_percpu

2017-01-06T10:16:17+00:00

commit 24d5373dda7c00a438d26016bce140299fae675e upstream.

The function xen_guest_init is using __alloc_percpu with an alignment
which are not power of two.

However, the percpu allocator never supported alignments which are not power
of two and has always behaved incorectly in thise case.

Commit 3ca45a4 "percpu: ensure requested alignment is power of two"
introduced a check which trigger a warning [1] when booting linux-next
on Xen. But in reality this bug was always present.

This can be fixed by replacing the call to __alloc_percpu with
alloc_percpu. The latter will use an alignment which are a power of two.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42+00:00

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

xen/swiotlb: Add support for 64KB page granularity

2015-10-23T13:20:43+00:00

Swiotlb is used on ARM64 to support DMA on platform where devices are
not protected by an SMMU. Furthermore it's only enabled for DOM0.

While Xen is always using 4KB page granularity in the stage-2 page table,
Linux ARM64 may either use 4KB or 64KB. This means that a Linux page
can be spanned accross multiple Xen page.

The Swiotlb code has to validate that the buffer used for DMA is
physically contiguous in the memory. As a Linux page can't be shared
between local memory and foreign page by design (the balloon code always
removing entirely a Linux page), the changes in the code are very
minimal because we only need to check the first Xen PFN.

Note that it may be possible to optimize the function
check_page_physically_contiguous to avoid looping over every Xen PFN
for local memory. Although I will let this optimization for a follow-up.

xen/swiotlb: Pass addresses rather than frame numbers to xen_arch_need_swiotlb

2015-10-23T13:20:43+00:00

With 64KB page granularity support, the frame number will be different.

It will be easier to modify the behavior in a single place rather than
in each caller.

arm/xen: Add support for 64KB page granularity

2015-10-23T13:20:42+00:00

The hypercall interface is always using 4KB page granularity. This is
requiring to use xen page definition macro when we deal with hypercall.

Note that pfn_to_gfn is working with a Xen pfn (i.e 4KB). We may want to
rename pfn_gfn to make this explicit.

We also allocate a 64KB page for the shared page even though only the
first 4KB is used. I don't think this is really important for now as it
helps to have the pointer 4KB aligned (XENMEM_add_to_physmap is taking a
Xen PFN).

xen/grant-table: Make it running on 64KB granularity

2015-10-23T13:20:39+00:00

The Xen interface is using 4KB page granularity. This means that each
grant is 4KB.

The current implementation allocates a Linux page per grant. On Linux
using 64KB page granularity, only the first 4KB of the page will be
used.

We could decrease the memory wasted by sharing the page with multiple
grant. It will require some care with the {Set,Clear}ForeignPage macro.

Note that no changes has been made in the x86 code because both Linux
and Xen will only use 4KB page granularity.

arm/xen: Enable user access to the kernel before issuing a privcmd call

2015-09-11T17:50:03+00:00

When Xen is copying data to/from the guest it will check if the kernel
has the right to do the access. If not, the hypercall will return an
error.

After the commit a5e090acbf545c0a3b04080f8a488b17ec41fe02 "ARM:
software-based privileged-no-access support", the kernel can't access
any longer the user space by default. This will result to fail on every
hypercall made by the userspace (i.e via privcmd).

We have to enable the userspace access and then restore the correct
permission every time the privcmd is used to made an hypercall.

I didn't find generic helpers to do a these operations, so the change
is only arm32 specific.
