xen/arm: introduce XENFEAT_grant_map_identity

2014-09-11T18:11:52Z

The flag tells us that the hypervisor maps a grant page to guest physical address == machine address of the page in addition to the normal grant mapping address. It is needed to properly issue cache maintenance operation at the completion of a DMA operation involving a foreign grant. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini Tested-by: Denis Schneider

x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context

2014-07-30T13:22:47Z

arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep. Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable lazy MMU mode. These two functions are only used in PV guests. Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in advance. Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

xen: Put EFI machinery in place

2014-07-18T20:23:58Z

This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. Standard EFI Linux Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant EFI code in behalf of dom0. When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine. If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled. Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem initialization taking into account that there is no direct access to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that system runs as usual. This patch is based on Jan Beulich and Tang Liang work. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Tang Liang Signed-off-by: Daniel Kiper Reviewed-by: David Vrabel Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini

x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context

Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call. N.B. 'alloc_vm_area' pre-allocates the pagetable so there is no need to worry about having to do a PGD/PUD/PMD walk (like apply_to_page_range does) and we can instead do set_pte.
