Konrad writes:

Please git pull the following branch:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git stable/for-jens-3.14

which is based off v3.13-rc6. If you would like me to rebase it on
a different branch/tag I would be more than happy to do so.

The patches are all bug-fixes and hopefully can go in 3.14.

They deal with xen-blkback shutdown and cause memory leaks
as well as shutdown races. They should go to stable tree and if you
are OK with I will ask them to backport those fixes.

There is also a fix to xen-blkfront to deal with unexpected state
transition. And lastly a fix to the header where it was using the
__aligned__ unnecessarily.

Roger Pau Monne 80bfa2f6e2 xen-blkif: drop struct blkif_request_segment_aligned
This was wrongly introduced in commit 402b27f9, the only difference
between blkif_request_segment_aligned and blkif_request_segment is
that the former has a named padding, while both share the same
memory layout.

Also correct a few minor glitches in the description, including for it
to no longer assume PAGE_SIZE == 4096.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "Two major features that Xen community is excited about:

  The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
  over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
  queue with priorities.  This lets us be able to handle more events,
  have lower latency, and better scalability.  Good stuff.

  The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor.  In short, PV is a mode where the
  kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc.  With
  EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
  in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
  hypervisor doing it for us.

  In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
  syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
  within the guest container.  It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
  name - a PV guest within an HVM container.

  The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
  use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
  calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
  hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.

  It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone.  But it is
  pretty awesome and we are excited about it.

  Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
  conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.

  In short, this pull has awesome features.

  Features:
   - FIFO event channels.  Key advantages: support for over 100,000
     events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in

Mukesh Rathor 4e903a20da xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions (v3).
PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities,
such as running MMU updates in a HVM container.

The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt,
with modifications):

"* the guest uses auto translate:
 - p2m is managed by Xen
 - pagetables are owned by the guest
 - mmu_update hypercall not available
* it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation,
* IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest.

For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table
in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen.  From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a
PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting
callback vector."

Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH
string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the
assembler from putting null char after each string before \.
This patch allows it to be configured and enabled.

We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to
tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel
needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor
parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load
the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.

David Vrabel bf2bbe07f1 xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channels
Add the hypercall sub-ops and the structures for the shared data used
in the FIFO-based event channel ABI.

The design document for this new ABI is available here:

    http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-H.pdf

In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array
of event words.  Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits
and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue.

There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU.

Key advantages of this new ABI include:

- Support for over 100,000 events (2^17).
- 16 different event priorities.
- Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs.

The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.

Julien Grall 380108d891 xen/block: Correctly define structures in public headers on ARM32 and ARM64
On ARM (32 bits and 64 bits), the double-word is 8-bytes aligned. This will
result on different structure from Xen and Linux repositories.

As Linux is using __packed__ attribute, it must have a 4-bytes padding before
each "id" field.

This change breaks guest block support with older kernel. IMHO, it's acceptable
because Xen on ARM is still on Tech Preview and the hypercall ABI is not yet
freezed.

Only one architecture (x86_32) doesn't have 64-bit ABI for the block interface.
Don't add padding if Linux is compiled for this architecture.

 "This has tons of fixes and two major features which are concentrated
  around the Xen SWIOTLB library.

  The short <blurb> is that the tracing facility (just one function) has
  been added to SWIOTLB to make it easier to track I/O progress.
  Additionally under Xen and ARM (32 & 64) the Xen-SWIOTLB driver
  "is used to translate physical to machine and machine to physical
  addresses of foreign[guest] pages for DMA operations" (Stefano) when
  booting under hardware without proper IOMMU.

  There are also bug-fixes, cleanups, compile warning fixes, etc.

  The commit times for some of the commits is a bit fresh - that is b/c
  we wanted to make sure we have the Ack's from the ARM folks - which
  with the string of back-to-back conferences took a bit of time.  Rest
  assured - the code has been stewing in #linux-next for some time.

   to track physical to machine and machine to physical mappings of
   foreign pages.  Local pages are assumed mapped 1:1 (physical address
   == machine address).  It enables the SWIOTLB-Xen driver on ARM and
   ARM64, so that Linux can translate physical addresses to machine
   addresses for dma operations when necessary.  " (Stefano)"

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 8deb3eb146 xen/mcfg: Call PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved for MCFG areas.
The PCI MMCONFIG area is usually reserved via the E820 so the Xen hypervisor
is aware of these regions. But they can also be enumerated in the ACPI
DSDT which means the hypervisor won't know of them until the initial
domain informs it of via PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved.

This is what this patch does for all of the MCFG regions that the
initial domain is aware of (E820 enumerated and ACPI).

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 6efa20e49b xen: Support 64-bit PV guest receiving NMIs
This is based on a patch that Zhenzhong Duan had sent - which
was missing some of the remaining pieces. The kernel has the
logic to handle Xen-type-exceptions using the paravirt interface
in the assembler code (see PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME -
pv_irq_ops.adjust_exception_frame and and INTERRUPT_RETURN -
pv_cpu_ops.iret).

That means the nmi handler (and other exception handlers) use
the hypervisor iret.

The other changes that would be neccessary for this would
be to translate the NMI_VECTOR to one of the entries on the
ipi_vector and make xen_send_IPI_mask_allbutself use different
events.

Fortunately for us commit 1db01b4903
(xen: Clean up apic ipi interface) implemented this and we piggyback
on the cleanup such that the apic IPI interface will pass the right
vector value for NMI.

With this patch we can trigger NMIs within a PV guest (only tested
x86_64).

For this to work with normal PV guests (not initial domain)
we need the domain to be able to use the APIC ops - they are
already implemented to use the Xen event channels. For that
to be turned on in a PV domU we need to remove the masking
of X86_FEATURE_APIC.

Incidentally that means kgdb will also now work within
a PV guest without using the 'nokgdbroundup' workaround.

Note that the 32-bit version is different and this patch
does not enable that.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel
      Borkmann.

  11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
      devices.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
      manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
      From Daniel Borkmann.

Jens Axboe f35546e072 Merge branch 'stable/for-jens-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen into for-3.11/drivers
Konrad writes:

It has the 'feature-max-indirect-segments' implemented in both backend
and frontend. The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the
segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per
request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we
can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough.

The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream.
The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate
the segment size.  This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size.
It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes
(256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the
request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension
still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be
specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose).

The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the
‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have
an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of
the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out
how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment.
If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB.

Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing
it to be a bit more flexible.

There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it
borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to
what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these
'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate
how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is
bigger than the segment size).

This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover:
32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space
in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M)
can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB.

Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work
great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension)
work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries
it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so  50% of the page
is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page
per request * 4096 = 32MB.

This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes
a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and
balancing the needs of many guests.

In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD.
This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and
all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated.

Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on
th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).

Jan Beulich 8d9256906a xen/io/ring.h: new macro to detect whether there are too many requests on the ring
Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of
produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over
requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more
requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests
and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses.

This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by

Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots)
per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but
remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing
slots.

Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from
just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed
by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17)
which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets
using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots.

To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more
than max_skb_slots is considered malicious.

The behavior of netback for packet is thus:

    1-18            slots: valid
   19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error
   max_skb_slots+   slots: fatal error

max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20.

Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests.

Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be
fixed with separate patch.

Wei Liu 9ecd1a75d9 xen-netfront: reduce gso_max_size to account for max TCP header
The maximum packet including header that can be handled by netfront / netback
wire format is 65535. Reduce gso_max_size accordingly.

Drop skb and print warning when skb->len > 65535. This can 1) save the effort
to send malformed packet to netback, 2) help spotting misconfiguration of
netfront in the future.

Roger Pau Monne 402b27f9f2 xen-block: implement indirect descriptors
Indirect descriptors introduce a new block operation
(BLKIF_OP_INDIRECT) that passes grant references instead of segments
in the request. This grant references are filled with arrays of
blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a
request.

The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs
(frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the
backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been
chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane
value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors
in the frontend if needed.

The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in
which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the
maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending
on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and
in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the
new maximum number of segments.

[v2: Fixed minor comments by Konrad.
[v1: Added padding to make the indirect request 64bit aligned.
 Added some BUGs, comments; fixed number of indirect pages in
 blkif_get_x86_{32/64}_req. Added description about the indirect operation
 in blkif.h]

Jan Beulich 909b3fdb0d xen-pciback: notify hypervisor about devices intended to be assigned to guests
For MSI-X capable devices the hypervisor wants to write protect the
MSI-X table and PBA, yet it can't assume that resources have been
assigned to their final values at device enumeration time. Thus have
pciback do that notification, as having the device controlled by it is
a prerequisite to assigning the device to guests anyway.

This is the kernel part of hypervisor side commit 4245d33 ("x86/MSI:
add mechanism to fully protect MSI-X table from PV guest accesses") on
the master branch of git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git.

David Vrabel 0e367ae465 xen/blkback: correctly respond to unknown, non-native requests
If the frontend is using a non-native protocol (e.g., a 64-bit
frontend with a 32-bit backend) and it sent an unrecognized request,
the request was not translated and the response would have the
incorrect ID.  This may cause the frontend driver to behave
incorrectly or crash.

Since the ID field in the request is always in the same place,
regardless of the request type we can get the correct ID and make a
valid response (which will report BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP).

This bug affected 64-bit SLES 11 guests when using a 32-bit backend.
This guest does a BLKIF_OP_RESERVED_1 (BLKIF_OP_PACKET in the SLES
source) and would crash in blkif_int() as the ID in the response would
be invalid.

Liu, Jinsong 92e3229dcd xen/acpi: ACPI PAD driver
PAD is acpi Processor Aggregator Device which provides a control point
that enables the platform to perform specific processor configuration
and control that applies to all processors in the platform.

This patch is to implement Xen acpi pad logic. When running under Xen
virt platform, native pad driver would not work. Instead Xen pad driver,
a self-contained and thin logic level, would take over acpi pad logic.

When acpi pad notify OSPM, xen pad logic intercept and parse _PUR object
to get the expected idle cpu number, and then hypercall to hypervisor.
Xen hypervisor would then do the rest work, say, core parking, to idle
specific number of cpus on its own policy.

Pull Xen fixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 "This has four bug-fixes and one tiny feature that I forgot to put
  initially in my tree due to oversight.

  The feature is for kdump kernels to speed up the /proc/vmcore reading.
  There is a ram_is_pfn helper function that the different platforms can
  register for.  We are now doing that.

  The bug-fixes cover some embarrassing struct pv_cpu_ops variables
  being set to NULL on Xen (but not baremetal).  We had a similar issue
  in the past with {write|read}_msr_safe and this fills the three
  missing ones.  The other bug-fix is to make the console output (hvc)
  be capable of dealing with misbehaving backends and not fall flat on
  its face.  Lastly, a quirk for older XenBus implementations that came
  with an ancient v3.4 hypervisor (so RHEL5 based) - reading of certain
  non-existent attributes just hangs the guest during bootup - so we
  take precaution of not doing that on such older installations.

  Feature:
   - Register a pfn_is_ram helper to speed up reading of /proc/vmcore.

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests

     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

It makes use of a new hvmop HVMOP_get_mem_type which was introduced in
xen 4.2 (23298:26413986e6e0) and backported to 4.1.1.

The new function is currently only enabled for reading /proc/vmcore.
Later it will be used also for the kexec kernel. Since that requires
