2010-07-27x86: Call HVMOP_pagetable_dying on exit_mmap.Stefano Stabellini
When a pagetable is about to be destroyed, we notify Xen so that the hypervisor can clear the related shadow pagetable. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
2009-08-31x86: Move paravirt pagetable_setup to x86_init_opsThomas Gleixner
Replace more paravirt hackery by proper x86_init_ops. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-04-08xen: separate p2m allocation from settingJeremy Fitzhardinge
When doing very early p2m setting, we need to separate setting from allocation, so split things up accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Impact: Cleanup Move remaining mmu-related stuff into mmu.c. A general cleanup, and lay the groundwork for later patches. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2008-10-09xen: use spin_lock_nest_lock when pinning a pagetableJeremy Fitzhardinge
When pinning/unpinning a pagetable with split pte locks, we can end up holding multiple pte locks at once (we need to hold the locks while there's a pending batched hypercall affecting the pte page). Because all the pte locks are in the same lock class, lockdep thinks that we're potentially taking a lock recursively. This warning is spurious because we always take the pte locks while holding mm->page_table_lock. lockdep now has spin_lock_nest_lock to express this kind of dominant lock use, so use it here so that lockdep knows what's going on.

2008-07-16xen64: allocate and manage user pagetablesJeremy Fitzhardinge
Because the x86_64 architecture does not enforce segment limits, Xen cannot protect itself with them as it does in 32-bit mode. Therefore, to protect itself, it runs the guest kernel in ring 3. Since it also runs the guest userspace in ring3, the guest kernel must maintain a second pagetable for its userspace, which does not map kernel space. Naturally, the guest kernel pagetables map both kernel and userspace. The userspace pagetable is attached to the corresponding kernel pagetable via the pgd's page->private field. It is allocated and freed at the same time as the kernel pgd via the paravirt_pgd_alloc/free hooks. Fortunately, the user pagetable is almost entirely shared with the kernel pagetable; the only difference is the pgd page itself. set_pgd will populate all entries in the kernel pagetable, and also set the corresponding user pgd entry if the address is less than STACK_TOP_MAX. The user pagetable must be pinned and unpinned with the kernel one, but because the pagetables are aliased, pgd_walk() only needs to be called on the kernel pagetable. The user pgd page is then pinned/unpinned along with the kernel pgd page. xen_write_cr3 must write both the kernel and user cr3s. The init_mm.pgd pagetable never has a user pagetable allocated for it, because it can never be used while running usermode. One awkward area is that early in boot the page structures are not available. No user pagetable can exist at that point, but it complicates the logic to avoid looking at the page structure.

We need extra pv_mmu_ops for 64-bit, to deal with the extra level of pagetable.

2008-06-25xen: implement ptep_modify_prot_start/commitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving its accessed and dirty bits. This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be implemented as a simple read of the pte value. The hardware may update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime. The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy mmu mode. The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor. The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

2008-06-02xen: avoid hypercalls when updating unpinned pud/pmdJeremy Fitzhardinge
When operating on an unpinned pagetable (ie, one under construction or destruction), it isn't necessary to use a hypercall to update a pud/pmd entry. Jan Beulich observed that a similar optimisation avoided many thousands of hypercalls while doing a kernel build. One tricky part is that early in the kernel boot there's no page structure, so we can't check to see if the page is pinned. In that case, we just always use the hypercall.

2008-05-22xen: remove support for non-PAE 32-bitJeremy Fitzhardinge
Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.
