x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserve

2011-05-12T17:05:04+00:00

Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end
of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for
the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones.

On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also
takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated
for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for
other purposes.

A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows.

As a consequence of the commit:

    x86-64, mm: Put early page table high

at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages
area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls
in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument).
Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and
everything is fine.
Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range
pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they
are going to be mapped RW.  When these pages become pagetable pages and
are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already
a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation.
The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs
to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation
operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c).

In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range
pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation
is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by
init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one
of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those
ranges are RO).

For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we
used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other
purposes.
On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it
also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but
that haven't been used before.

Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if
(xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen
counterpart, but that is just nasty.

x86/platform: Add a wallclock_init func to x86_init.timers ops

2011-02-14T17:20:43+00:00

Some wall clock devices use MMIO based HW register, this new
function will give them a chance to do some initialization work
before their get/set_time service get called, which is usually
in early kernel boot phase.

Introduce an x86 specific indirect mechanism to setup MSIs.
The MSI setup functions become function pointers in an x86_msi_ops

x86: Add i8042 pre-detection hook to x86_platform_ops

2010-07-08T00:05:06+00:00

Some x86 platforms like Intel MID platforms don't have i8042 controllers,
and i8042 driver's probe to some legacy IO ports may hang the MID
processor. With this hook, i8042 driver can runtime check and skip the
probe when the pretection fail which also saves some probe time

[ hpa note: this is currently a compile-time check, which breaks the
  i386 allyesconfig build.  This patch series thus does fix a regression. ]

x86: Enable NMI on all cpus on UV

2010-02-27T11:34:21+00:00

Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler
to dump_stack on each cpu.

By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI
masked off.  This patch enables NMI on all cpus in UV system
and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu.  This
way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a
backtrace from all the cpus.

Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per
           Ingo's suggestion.

Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

x86: Add pci_init_irq to x86_init

2010-02-20T00:12:33+00:00

Moorestown wants to reuse pcibios_init_irq but needs to provide its
own implementation of pci_enable_irq. After we distangled the init we
can move the init_irq call to x86_init and remove the pci_enable_irq
!= NULL check in pcibios_init_irq. pci_enable_irq is compile time
initialized to pirq_enable_irq and the special cases which override it
(visws and acpi) set the x86_init function pointer to noop. That
allows MSRT to override pci_enable_irq and otherwise run
pcibios_init_irq unmodified.

x86: Move pci init function to x86_init

2010-02-20T00:12:29+00:00

The PCI initialization in pci_subsys_init() is a mess. pci_numaq_init,
pci_acpi_init, pci_visws_init and pci_legacy_init are called and each
implementation checks and eventually modifies the global variable
pcibios_scanned.

x86_init functions allow us to do this more elegant. The pci.init
function pointer is preset to pci_legacy_init. numaq, acpi and visws
can modify the pointer in their early setup functions. The functions
return 0 when they did the full initialization including bus scan. A
non zero return value indicates that pci_legacy_init needs to be
called either because the selected function failed or wants the
generic bus scan in pci_legacy_init to happen (e.g. visws).
