* Restructure memory allocation in bhyve to support "devmem".neel2015-06-181-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | devmem is used to represent MMIO devices like the boot ROM or a VESA framebuffer where doing a trap-and-emulate for every access is impractical. devmem is a hybrid of system memory (sysmem) and emulated device models. devmem is mapped in the guest address space via nested page tables similar to sysmem. However the address range where devmem is mapped may be changed by the guest at runtime (e.g. by reprogramming a PCI BAR). Also devmem is usually mapped RO or RW as compared to RWX mappings for sysmem. Each devmem segment is named (e.g. "bootrom") and this name is used to create a device node for the devmem segment (e.g. /dev/vmm/testvm.bootrom). The device node supports mmap(2) and this decouples the host mapping of devmem from its mapping in the guest address space (which can change).

* Provide APIs to directly get 'lowmem' and 'highmem' size directly.neel2014-06-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | Previously the sizes were inferred indirectly based on the size of the mappings at 0 and 4GB respectively. This works fine as long as size of the allocation is identical to the size of the mapping in the guest's address space. However, if the mapping is disjoint then this assumption falls apart (e.g., due to the legacy BIOS hole between 640KB and 1MB).

* Add support for FreeBSD/i386 guests under bhyve.jhb2014-02-051-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Similar to the hack for bootinfo32.c in userboot, define _MACHINE_ELF_WANT_32BIT in the load_elf32 file handlers in userboot. This allows userboot to load 32-bit kernels and modules. - Copy the SMAP generation code out of bootinfo64.c and into its own file so it can be shared with bootinfo32.c to pass an SMAP to the i386 kernel. - Use uint32_t instead of u_long when aligning module metadata in bootinfo32.c in userboot, as otherwise the metadata used 64-bit alignment which corrupted the layout. - Populate the basemem and extmem members of the bootinfo struct passed to 32-bit kernels. - Fix the 32-bit stack in userboot to start at the top of the stack instead of the bottom so that there is room to grow before the kernel switches to its own stack. - Push a fake return address onto the 32-bit stack in addition to the arguments normally passed to exec() in the loader. This return address is needed to convince recover_bootinfo() in the 32-bit locore code that it is being invoked from a "new" boot block. - Add a routine to libvmmapi to setup a 32-bit flat mode register state including a GDT and TSS that is able to start the i386 kernel and update bhyveload to use it when booting an i386 kernel. - Use the guest register state to determine the CPU's current instruction mode (32-bit vs 64-bit) and paging mode (flat, 32-bit, PAE, or long mode) in the instruction emulation code. Update the gla2gpa() routine used when fetching instructions to handle flat mode, 32-bit paging, and PAE paging in addition to long mode paging. Don't look for a REX prefix when the CPU is in 32-bit mode, and use the detected mode to enable the existing 32-bit mode code when decoding the mod r/m byte.

This allows bhyve to associate each guest with its own vmspace and deal with nested page faults in the context of that vmspace. This also enables features like accessed/dirty bit tracking, swapping to disk and transparent superpage promotions of guest memory. Guest vmspace: Each bhyve guest has a unique vmspace to represent the physical memory allocated to the guest. Each memory segment allocated by the guest is mapped into the guest's address space via the 'vmspace->vm_map' and is backed by an object of type OBJT_DEFAULT. pmap types: The amd64/pmap now understands two types of pmaps: PT_X86 and PT_EPT. The PT_X86 pmap type is used by the vmspace associated with the host kernel as well as user processes executing on the host. The PT_EPT pmap is used by the vmspace associated with a bhyve guest. Page Table Entries: The EPT page table entries as mostly similar in functionality to regular page table entries although there are some differences in terms of what bits are used to express that functionality. For e.g. the dirty bit is represented by bit 9 in the nested PTE as opposed to bit 6 in the regular x86 PTE. Therefore the bitmask representing the dirty bit is now computed at runtime based on the type of the pmap. Thus PG_M that was previously a macro now becomes a local variable that is initialized at runtime using 'pmap_modified_bit(pmap)'. An additional wrinkle associated with EPT mappings is that older Intel processors don't have hardware support for tracking accessed/dirty bits in the PTE. This means that the amd64/pmap code needs to emulate these bits to provide proper accounting to the VM subsystem. This is achieved by using the following mapping for EPT entries that need emulation of A/D bits: Bit Position Interpreted By PG_V 52 software (accessed bit emulation handler) PG_RW 53 software (dirty bit emulation handler) PG_A 0 hardware (aka EPT_PG_RD) PG_M 1 hardware (aka EPT_PG_WR) The idea to use the mapping listed above for A/D bit emulation came from Alan Cox (alc@). The final difference with respect to x86 PTEs is that some EPT implementations do not support superpage mappings. This is recorded in the 'pm_flags' field of the pmap. TLB invalidation: The amd64/pmap code has a number of ways to do invalidation of mappings that may be cached in the TLB: single page, multiple pages in a range or the entire TLB. All of these funnel into a single EPT invalidation routine called 'pmap_invalidate_ept()'. This routine bumps up the EPT generation number and sends an IPI to the host cpus that are executing the guest's vcpus. On a subsequent entry into the guest it will detect that the EPT has changed and invalidate the mappings from the TLB. Guest memory access: Since the guest memory is no longer wired we need to hold the host physical page that backs the guest physical page before we can access it. The helper functions 'vm_gpa_hold()/vm_gpa_release()' are available for this purpose. PCI passthru: Guest's with PCI passthru devices will wire the entire guest physical address space. The MMIO BAR associated with the passthru device is backed by a vm_object of type OBJT_SG. An IOMMU domain is created only for guest's that have one or more PCI passthru devices attached to them. Limitations: There isn't a way to map a guest physical page without execute permissions. This is because the amd64/pmap code interprets the guest physical mappings as user mappings since they are numerically below VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS. Since PG_U shares the same bit position as EPT_PG_EXECUTE all guest mappings become automatically executable. Thanks to Alan Cox and Konstantin Belousov for their rigorous code reviews as well as their support and encouragement. Thanks for John Baldwin for reviewing the use of OBJT_SG as the backing object for pci passthru mmio regions. Special thanks to Peter Holm for testing the patch on short notice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | command line option "-m <memsize in MB>" to specify the memory size. Prior to this change the user needed to explicitly specify the amount of memory allocated below 4G (-m <lowmem>) and the amount above 4G (-M <highmem>). The "-M" option is no longer supported by 'bhyveload' and 'bhyve'. The start of the PCI hole is fixed at 3GB and cannot be directly changed using command line options. However it is still possible to change this in special circumstances via the 'vm_set_lowmem_limit()' API provided by libvmmapi.
