* lguest and virtio: cleanup struct definitions to Linux style.Rusty Russell2009-07-301-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | I've been doing this for years, and akpm picked me up on it about 12 months ago. lguest partly serves as example code, so let's do it Right. Also, remove two unused fields in struct vblk_info in the example launcher. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
* lguest: fix comment styleRusty Russell2009-07-301-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | I don't really notice it (except to begrudge the extra vertical space), but Ingo does. And he pointed out that one excuse of lguest is as a teaching tool, it should set a good example. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>

* eventfd: revised interface and cleanupsDavide Libenzi2009-06-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from the file pointer instance. Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also, now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the file*. This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under development.

* lguest: remove obsolete LHREQ_BREAK callRusty Russell2009-06-121-3/+1
| | | | | | | | We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main Guest process (aka. the Launcher). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: use eventfds for device notificationRusty Russell2009-06-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures out what device to run. A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

* lguest: allow any process to send interruptsRusty Russell2009-06-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine. As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the main Launcher process. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: PAE supportMatias Zabaljauregui2009-06-121-0/+5

* lguest: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networkingRusty Russell2009-06-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lguest never checked for pending interrupts when enabling interrupts, and things still worked. However, it makes a significant difference to TCP performance, so it's time we fixed it by introducing a pending_irq flag and checking it on irq_restore and irq_enable. These two routines are now too big to patch into the 8/10 bytes patch space, so we drop that code. Note: The high latency on interrupt delivery had a very curious effect: once everything else was optimized, networking without GSO was faster than networking with GSO, since more interrupts were sent and hence a greater chance of one getting through to the Guest! Note2: (Almost) Closing the same loophole for iret doesn't have any measurable effect, so I'm leaving that patch for the moment. Before: 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host: 30.7 seconds 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO): 76.0 seconds After: 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host: 6.8 seconds 1GB tcpblast Guest->Host (no GSO): 27.8 seconds Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: fix race in halt codeRusty Russell2009-06-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us. But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race. So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the "break_out" flag before calling schedule.

* lguest: fix guest crash on non-linear addresses in gdt pvopsRusty Russell2009-04-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256' The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to write_gdt_entry. We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which kills us. I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT code, but had no pressing reason until now.

* x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flagsJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-05-271-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add pte_flags() to extract the flags from a pte. This is a special case of pte_val() which is only guaranteed to return the pte's flags correctly; the page number may be corrupted or missing.

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest pgdir managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | this patch makes the pgdir management per-vcpu.

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest task managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-7/+7

| | | | | | | | | | | | The fields found in lguest_arch are not really per-guest, but per-cpu (gdt, idt, etc). So this patch turns lguest_arch into lg_cpu_arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32. This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on all platforms.

* Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-26/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an address. The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too.

* Allow guest to specify syscall vector to use.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | (Based on Ron Minnich's LGUEST_PLAN9_SYSCALL patch). This patch allows Guests to specify what system call vector they want, and we try to reserve it.

* Make hypercalls arch-independent.Jes Sorensen2007-10-231-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up the hypercall code to make the code in hypercalls.c architecture independent. First process the common hypercalls and then call lguest_arch_do_hcall() if the call hasn't been handled. Rename struct hcall_ring to hcall_args. This patch requires the previous patch which reorganize the layout of struct lguest_regs on i386 so they match the layout of struct hcall_args.

* Introduce "hcall" pointer to indicate pending hypercall.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we look at the "trapnum" to see if the Guest wants a hypercall. But once the hypercall is done we have to reset trapnum to a bogus value, otherwise if we exit to userspace and return, we'd run the same hypercall twice (that was a nasty bug to find!). This has two main effects: 1) When Jes's patch changes the hypercall args to be a generic "struct hcall_args" we simply change the type of "lg->hcall". It's set by arch code, so if it has to copy args or something it can do so, and point "hcall" into lg->arch somewhere. 2) Async hypercalls only get run when an actual hypercall is pending. This simplfies the code a little and is a more logical semantic. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed array of them. This is no longer necessary. If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id" altogether. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcherRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0. The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with simple additions. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* Provide timespec to guests rather than jiffies clock.Rusty Russell2007-07-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A non-periodic clock_event_device and the "jiffies" clock don't mix well: tick_handle_periodic() can go into an infinite loop. Currently lguest guests use the jiffies clock when the TSC is unusable. Instead, make the Host write the current time into the lguest page on every interrupt. This doesn't cost much but is more precise and at least as accurate as the jiffies clock. It also gets rid of the GET_WALLCLOCK hypercall. Also, delay setting sched_clock until our clock is set up, otherwise the early printk timestamps can go backwards (not harmful, just ugly).
