If we're building a pte, we can use simple assigment; only use set_pte
etc. when we're actually going to use that destination as a PTE. I
don't know that we'll ever run under Xen, but it's neater.And use set_pte/set_pmd rather than assuming native_ versions, even
though that's probably true for most people.(Includes compile fix by Kamalesh Babulal )

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.

"new" was freed and then dereferenced. Also the return value wasn't being

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.Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi

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
-
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.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
Cc: Davide Libenzi -
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

1) j wasn't initialized in setup_pagetables, so they weren't set up for me
causing immediate guest crashes.2) gpte_addr should not re-read the pmd from the Guest. Especially
not BUG_ON() based on the value. If we ever supported SMP guests,
they could trigger that. And the Launcher could also trigger it
(tho currently root-only).Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

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 secondsAfter:
1GB tcpblast Guest->Host: 6.8 seconds

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.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
-
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

This replaces find_vq/del_vq with find_vqs/del_vqs virtio operations,

Add a linked list of all virtqueues for a virtio device: this helps for

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.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)'
vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2a159f18a1507f1187b44a1acbfa6341b
'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls
to trap 31.The Launcher mmaps the kernel image. The Guest executes and
immediately faults in the first text page (read-only). Then it hits a
hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write.
But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again,
but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault
back to the Guest. The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it.This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the
text pages are already read-write.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Impact: remove lots of lguest boot WARN_ON() when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y
We now need to call irq_to_desc_alloc_cpu() before
set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), but we can't do that from init_IRQ (no
kmalloc available).So do it as we use interrupts instead. Also means we only alloc for
irqs we use, which was the intent of CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ anyway.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Impact: remove unused/broken code
The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.So remove this inactive code for now.
