commit c341ca45ce56143804ef5a8f4db753e554e640b4 upstream.

When we do an FLR, or D0-&gt;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).

<title>xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op-&gt;dev_bus_addr</title>

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op-&gt;dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.

Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page-&gt;index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

When we do FLR and save PCI config we did it in the wrong order.
The end result was that if a PCI device was unbind from
its driver, then binded to xen-pciback, and then back to its
driver we would get:

&gt; lspci -s 04:00.0
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
13:42:12 # 4 :~/
&gt; echo "0000:04:00.0" &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/unbind

e1000e: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2

This fixes it by first saving the PCI configuration space, then
doing the FLR.

<title>xen: Use correct masking in xen_swiotlb_alloc_coherent.</title>

<id>b5031ed1be0aa419250557123633453753181643</id>
<content type='text'>
When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.

The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev-&gt;coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.

This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.

On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.

This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

This reverts commit 00e37bdb0113a98408de42db85be002f21dbffd3.

During shutdown of PVHVM guests with more than 2VCPUs on certain
machines we can hit the race where the replaced shared_info is not
replaced fast enough and the PV time clock retries reading the same
area over and over without any any success and is stuck in an
infinite loop.

<title>xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec</title>

<id>00e37bdb0113a98408de42db85be002f21dbffd3</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into
MMIO space before the kexec boot.

The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This
will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a
new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the
pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to
update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new
kernel.

One way to work around this issue is to allocate a page in the
xen-platform pci device's BAR memory range. But pci init is done very
late and the shared_info page is already in use very early to read the
pvclock. So moving the pfn from RAM to MMIO is racy because some code
paths on other vcpus could access the pfn during the small   window when
the old pfn is moved to the new pfn. There is even a  small window were
the old pfn is not backed by a mfn, and during that time all reads
return -1.

Because it is not known upfront where the MMIO region is located it can
not be used right from the start in xen_hvm_init_shared_info.

To minimise trouble the move of the pfn is done shortly before kexec.
This does not eliminate the race because all vcpus are still online when
the syscore_ops will be called. But hopefully there is no work pending
at this point in time. Also the syscore_op is run last which reduces the
risk further.

While debugging kexec issues in a PVonHVM guest I modified
xen_hvm_platform() to return false to disable all PV drivers. This
caused a crash in platform_pci_init() because it expects certain data
structures to be initialized properly.

To avoid such a crash make sure the driver is initialized only if
running in a Xen guest.

<title>xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: shutdown watches from old kernel</title>

<id>254d1a3f02ebc10ccc6e4903394d8d3f484f715e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after
kexec boot.  The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the
shutdown path.  They are still active, the double registration can not
be detected by the new kernel.  When the watches fire, unexpected events
will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL).  An
orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its
resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so
the missing unregister is not an issue in that case.

With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches
for the guest.  However, 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.
