* lguest: move the initial guest page table creation code to the hostMatias Zabaljauregui2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | This patch moves the initial guest page table creation code to the host, so the launcher keeps working with PAE enabled configs. Signed-off-by: Matias Zabaljauregui <zabaljauregui@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: use get_user_pages_fast() instead of get_user_pages()Rusty Russell2008-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a simple page table thrashing program I measure a slight improvement. The program creates five processes. Each touches 1000 pages then schedules the next process. We repeat this 1000 times. As lguest only caches 4 cr3 values, this rebuilds a lot of shadow page tables requiring virt->phys mappings. Before: 5.93 seconds After: 5.40 seconds (Counts of slow vs fastpath in this usage are 6092 and 2852462 respectively.) And more importantly for lguest, the code is simpler.

* lguest: comment documentation update.Rusty Russell2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | 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: Revert 1ce70c4fac3c3954bd48c035f448793867592bc0, fix real problem.Rusty Russell2008-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest bug, and indeed it wasn't. The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables for each Guest). Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug. The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: accept guest _PAGE_PWT page table entriesAhmed S. Darwish2008-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Beginning from commit 4138cc3418f5, ioremap_nocache() sets the _PAGE_PWT flag. Lguest doesn't accept a guest pte with a _PWT flag and reports a "bad page table entry" in that case. Accept guest _PAGE_PWT page table entries. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

* lguest: use __PAGE_KERNEL instead of _PAGE_KERNELGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | x86_64 don't expose the intermediate representation with one underline, _PAGE_KERNEL, just the double-underlined one. Use it, to get a common ground between 32 and 64-bit Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: get rid of lg variable assignmentsGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | We can save some lines of code by getting rid of *lg = cpu... lines of code spread everywhere by now. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: change gpte_addr headerGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | gpte_addr() does not depend on any guest information. So we wipe out the lg parameter from it completely. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: change spte_addr headerGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest pgdir managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | lguest struct have room for some fields, namely, cr2, ts, esp1 and ss1, that are not really guest-wide, but rather, vcpu-wide. This patch puts it in the vcpu struct Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: make registers per-vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | This is the most obvious per-vcpu field: registers. So this patch moves it from struct lguest to struct vcpu, and patch the places in which they are used, accordingly Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: map_switcher_in_guest() per-vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | The switcher needs to be mapped per-vcpu, because different vcpus will potentially have different page tables (they don't have to, because threads will share the same). So our first step is the make the function receive a vcpu struct Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* generalize lgread_u32/lgwrite_u32.Rusty Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcherRusty Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0. The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with simple additions. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
