When converting the page number in a pte/pmd/pud/pgd between
machine and pseudo-physical addresses, the converted result was
being truncated at 32-bits. This caused failures on machines
with more than 4G of physical memory.

Some Xen hypercalls accept an array of operations to work on. In
general this is because its more efficient for the hypercall to the
work all at once rather than as separate hypercalls (even batched as a
multicall).
This patch adds a mechanism (xen_mc_extend_args()) to allocate more
argument space to the last-issued multicall, in order to extend its
argument list.
The user of this mechanism is xen/mmu.c, which uses it to extend the
args array of mmu_update. This is particularly valuable when doing
the update for a large mprotect, which goes via
ptep_modify_prot_commit(), but it also manages to batch updates to
pgd/pmds as well.

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.

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is

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.

The thing is, the crash makes little sense at first sight. We crash on a
benign-looking printk. The code around it got changed in -tip but
checking those topic branches individually did not reproduce the bug.

| xen: add p2m mfn_list_list
Which is somewhat surprising, as on native hardware Xen client side
should have little to no side-effects.
After some head scratching, it turns out the following happened:
randconfig enabled the following Xen options:
CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=8
# CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND is not set
# CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND is not set
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
# CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON is not set
which activated this piece of code in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c:
> @@ -69,6 +69,13 @@
> __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) =
> { [ 0 ... TOP_ENTRIES - 1] = &p2m_missing[0] };
>
> +/* Arrays of p2m arrays expressed in mfns used for save/restore */

> + __attribute__((section(".bss.page_aligned")));
> +
> +static unsigned long p2m_top_mfn_list[TOP_ENTRIES / P2M_ENTRIES_PER_PAGE]
> + __attribute__((section(".bss.page_aligned")));
The problem is, you must only put variables into .bss.page_aligned that
have a _size_ that is _exactly_ page aligned. In this case the size of
p2m_top_mfn_list is not page aligned:
80b8d000 b p2m_top_mfn
80b8f000 b p2m_top_mfn_list
80b8f008 b softirq_stack
80b97008 b hardirq_stack
80b9f008 b bm_pte
So all subsequent variables get unaligned which, depending on luck,
breaks the kernel in various funny ways. In this case what killed the
kernel first was the misaligned bootmap pte page, resulting in that
creative crash above.
Anyway, this was a fun bug to track down :-)
I think the moral is that .bss.page_aligned is a dangerous construct in
its current form, and the symptoms of breakage are very non-trivial, so
i think we need build-time checks to make sure all symbols in
.bss.page_aligned are truly page aligned.
The Xen fix below gets the kernel booting again.

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:
1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any
partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.
2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The
Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.
4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally
5 - Suspend the domain
Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

When saving a domain, the Xen tools need to remap all our mfns to
portable pfns. In order to remap our p2m table, it needs to know
where all its pages are, so maintain the references to the p2m table
for it to use.

When using sparsemem and memory hotplug, the kernel's pseudo-physical
address space can be discontigious. Previously this was dealt with by
having the upper parts of the radix tree stubbed off. Unfortunately,
this is incompatible with save/restore, which requires a complete p2m
table.
The solution is to have a special distinguished all-invalid p2m leaf
page, which we can point all the hole areas at. This allows the tools
to see a complete p2m table, but it only costs a page for all memory
holes.
It also simplifies the code since it removes a few special cases.

Add a config option to set the max size of a Xen domain. This is used
to scale the size of the physical-to-machine array; it ends up using
around 1 page/GByte, so there's no reason to be very restrictive.
For a 32-bit guest, the default value of 8GB is probably sufficient;
there's not much point in giving a 32-bit machine much more memory
than that.

We now support the use of memory hotplug, so the physical to machine
page mapping structure must be dynamic. This is implemented as a
two-level radix tree structure, which allows us to efficiently
incrementally allocate memory for the p2m table as new pages are
added.

pteval_t. This allows common code to access it without needing to be
specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for.

_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for
mapping harware registers. Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and
unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying
hardware. However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
(non-existent) APIC, and its OK to mask off the PCD flag in these cases.
This became necessary because Xen started checking for this bit, rather
than silently masking it off.

When a pagetable is created, it is made globally visible in the rmap
prio tree before it is pinned via arch_dup_mmap(), and remains in the
rmap tree while it is unpinned with arch_exit_mmap().
This means that other CPUs may race with the pinning/unpinning
process, and see a pte between when it gets marked RO and actually
pinned, causing any pte updates to fail with write-protect faults.
As a result, all pte pages must be properly locked, and only unlocked
once the pinning/unpinning process has finished.
In order to avoid taking spinlocks for the whole pagetable - which may
overflow the PREEMPT_BITS portion of preempt counter - it locks and pins
each pte page individually, and then finally pins the whole pagetable.

When a pagetable is no longer in use, it must be unpinned so that its
pages can be freed. However, this is only possible if there are no
stray uses of the pagetable. The code currently deals with all the
usual cases, but there's a rare case where a vcpu is changing cr3, but
is doing so lazily, and the change hasn't actually happened by the time
the pagetable is unpinned, even though it appears to have been completed.
This change adds a second per-cpu cr3 variable - xen_current_cr3 -
which tracks the actual state of the vcpu cr3. It is only updated once
the actual hypercall to set cr3 has been completed. Other processors
wishing to unpin a pagetable can check other vcpu's xen_current_cr3
values to see if any cross-cpu IPIs are needed to clean things up.

Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
1. enter lazy cpu mode
2. leave lazy cpu mode
3. enter lazy mmu mode
4. leave lazy mmu mode
5. flush pending batched operations
This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
seems to just cause complication.
This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
"leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops. All the logic
associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
(basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
re-entering the lazy mode.
The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
are much simpler.
