* headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.hAlexey Dobriyan2009-10-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
* lguest: fix comment styleRusty Russell2009-07-301-97/+191
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* lguest: allow any process to send interruptsRusty Russell2009-06-121-4/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | 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: improve interrupt handling, speed up stream networkingRusty Russell2009-06-121-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Russell2009-06-121-9/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 lguest wake on guest clock tick, or fd activityRusty Russell2009-06-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | The Launcher could be inside the Guest on another CPU; wake_up_process will do nothing because it is "running". kick_process will knock it back into our kernel in this case, otherwise we'll miss it until the next guest exit. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* x86: fix lguest used_vectors breakage, -v2Yinghai Lu2008-12-231-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix lguest, clean up 32-bit lguest used used_vectors to record vectors, but that model of allocating vectors changed and got broken, after we changed vector allocation to a per_cpu array. Try enable that for 64bit, and the array is used for all vectors that are not managed by vector_irq per_cpu array. Also kill system_vectors[], that is now a duplication of the used_vectors bitmap.

* lguest: Guest int3 fixRusty Russell2008-07-291-7/+17
| | | | | | | | | Ron Minnich noticed that guest userspace gets a GPF when it tries to int3: we need to copy the privilege level from the guest-supplied IDT to the real IDT. int3 is the only common case where guest userspace expects to invoke an interrupt, so that's the symptom of failing to do this.

* lguest: comment documentation update.Rusty Russell2008-03-281-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | Took some cycles to re-read the Lguest Journey end-to-end, fix some rot and tighten some phrases. Only comments change. No new jokes, but a couple of recycled old jokes. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest pgdir managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | this patch makes the pgdir management per-vcpu. The pgdirs pool is still guest-wide (although it'll probably need to grow when we are really executing more vcpus), but the pgdidx index is gone, since it makes no sense anymore. Instead, we use a per-vcpu index. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: makes special fields be per-vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-11/+12

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest task managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | lguest uses tasks to control its running behaviour (like sending breaks, controlling halted state, etc). In a per-vcpu environment, each vcpu will have its own underlying task. So this patch makes the infrastructure for that possible Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: replace lguest_arch with lg_cpu_arch.Glauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. It makes sense to have a per-guest per-arch struct, but this can be addressed later, when the need arrives.

* lguest: make registers per-vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-14/+14

* generalize lgread_u32/lgwrite_u32.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Russell2007-10-231-1/+48
| | | | | | | | | | (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. We only allow one non-Linux system call vector, to try to avoid DoS on the Host. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* Fix lguest page-pinning logic ("lguest: bad stack page 0xc057a000")Rusty Russell2007-08-301-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the stack pointer is 0xc057a000, then the first stack page is at 0xc0579000 (the stack pointer is decremented before use). Not calculating this correctly caused guests with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y to be killed with a "bad stack page" message: the initial kernel stack was just proceeding the .smp_locks section which CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC marks read-only when freeing.

* lguest: Fix Malicious Guest GDT Host CrashRusty Russell2007-08-091-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a Guest makes hypercall which sets a GDT entry to not present, we currently set any segment registers using that GDT entry to 0. Unfortunately, this is not sufficient: there are other ways of altering GDT entries which will cause a fault. The correct solution to do what Linux does: let them set any GDT value they want and handle the #GP when popping causes a fault. This has the added benefit of making our Switcher slightly more robust in the case of any other bugs which cause it to fault. We kill the Guest if it causes a fault in the Switcher: it's the Guest's responsibility to make sure it's not using segments when it changes them.

* Provide timespec to guests rather than jiffies clock.Rusty Russell2007-07-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* lguest: fix sense if IF flag on interrupt injectionRusty Russell2007-07-201-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | The sense of the IF bit is backwards in the host interrupt handling. This means we always save "IF=1" on the stack when injecting an interrupt. It turns out this is almost always correct (unless the guest is taking a page fault in an interrupt due to an unpopulated vmalloc mapping), so went unnoticed.
