George Dunlap 995e367681 svm: Fake out the Bus Unit Config MSR on revF AMD CPUs
Win2k8 x64 reads this MSR on revF chips, where it wasn't publically
available; it uses a magic constant in %rdi as a password, which we
don't have in rdmsr_safe().  Since we'll ignore the later writes, just
use a plausible value here (the reset value from rev10h chips) if the
real CPU didn't provide one.

The epfn is being compared to (RDWR_COMPAT_MPT_VIRT_END -

Jan Beulich 0c5b76d2bd x86/hpet: disable before reboot or kexec
Linux up to now is not smart enough to properly clear the HPET when it
boots, which is particularly a problem when a kdump attempt from
running under Xen is being made. Linux itself added code to work
around
this to its shutdown paths quite some time ago, so let's do something
similar in Xen: Save the configuration register settings during boot,
and restore them during shutdown. This should cover the majority of
cases where the secondary kernel might not come up because timer
interrupts don't work.

Wei Huang f89b5739ab HVM/SVM: enable tsc scaling ratio for SVM
Future AMD CPUs support TSC scaling. It allows guests to have a
different TSC frequency from host system using this formula: guest_tsc
= host_tsc * tsc_ratio + vmcb_offset. The tsc_ratio is a 64bit MSR
contains a fixed-point number in 8.32 format (8 bits for integer part
and 32bits for fractional part). For instance 0x00000003_80000000
means tsc_ratio=3.5.

This patch enables TSC scaling ratio for SVM. With it, guest VMs don't
need take #VMEXIT to calculate a translated TSC value when it is
running under TSC emulation mode. This can substancially reduce the
rdtsc overhead.

Andre Przywara 83328203fd svm: implement instruction fetch part of DecodeAssist (on #PF/#NPF)
Newer SVM implementations (Bulldozer) copy up to 15 bytes from the
instruction stream into the VMCB when a #PF or #NPF exception is
intercepted. This patch makes use of this information if available.
This saves us from a) traversing the guest's page tables, b) mapping
the guest's memory and c) copy the instructions from there into the
hypervisor's address space.
This speeds up #NPF intercepts quite a lot and avoids cache and TLB
trashing.

Dario Faggioli cca14182ab iommu: Move IOMMU faults handling into softirq for AMD-Vi.
Dealing with interrupts from AMD-Vi IOMMU(s) is deferred to a
softirq-tasklet, raised by the actual IRQ handler. To avoid more
interrupts being generated (because of further faults), they must be
masked in the IOMMU within the low level IRQ handler and enabled back
in the tasklet body. Notice that this may cause the log to overflow,
but none of the existing entry will be overwritten.

Jan Beulich ec12f15390 x86/IRQ: prevent vector sharing within IO-APICs
Following the prevention of vector sharing for MSIs, this change
enforces the same within IO-APICs: Pin based interrupts use the
IO-APIC as their identifying device under the AMD IOMMU (and just like
for MSIs, only the identifying device is used to remap interrupts
here, with no regard to an interrupt's destination).

Additionally, LAPIC initiated EOIs (for level triggered interrupts)
too use only the vector for identifying which interrupts to end. While
this generally causes no significant problem (at worst an interrupt
would be re-raised without a new interrupt event actually having
occurred), it still seems better to avoid the situation.

For this second aspect, a distinction is being made between the
traditional and the directed-EOI cases: In the former, vectors should
not be shared throughout all IO-APICs in the system, while in the
latter case only individual IO-APICs need to be contrained (or, if the
firmware indicates so, sub- groups of them having the same GSI appear
at multiple pins).

The dump_guest_backtrace() function attempted to walk the stack
based on the assumption that the guest and hypervisor pointer sizes
were the same; thus any 32-bit guest running under 64-bit hypervisor
would have unreliable results.

In 64-bit mode, read the 32-bit stack frame properly.

xenoprof: Use uint64_t explicitly for internal calls

A recent changeset to make XENOPROF_ESCAPE_CODE consistent across
32- and 64-bit builds caused a build failure, because values were
passed through functions as "unsigned long".  Replace these with
uint64_t explicitly.

Also remove redundant function prototype from perfmon.c, now that
it's in a header file.

xenoprof: Make the escape code consistent across 32 and  64-bit xen

At the moment, the xenoprof escape code is defined as "~0UL".
Unfortunately, this expands to 0xffffffff on 32-bit systems
and 0xffffffffffffffff on 64-bit systems; with the result that
while 32-on-32 and 64-in-64 work fine, 32-on-64 (also known as
"compat mode") is broken.

This patch makes the definition consistent across architectures.
In so doing, it will break old-32-bit-on-new-Xen, and vice versa;
but this was seen as an acceptable thing to do.

Andrew Cooper 19de40af1a IO-APIC: Prevent using EOI broadcast suppression if user specified
ioapic_ack=new on the command line.

Currently, if EOI broadcast suppression is advertised on the BSP
LAPIC, Xen will discard any user specified option regarding IO-APIC
ack mode.

This patch introduces a check which prevents EOI Broadcast suppression
from forcing the IO-APIC ack mode to old if the user has explicitly
asked for the new ack mode on the command line.

Hui Lv 494939f0b0 sched_credit: Use delay to control scheduling frequency
This patch can improve Xen performance:
1. Basically, the "delay method" can achieve 11% overall performance
boost for SPECvirt than original credit scheduler.
2. We have tried 1ms delay and 10ms delay, there is no big difference
between these two configurations. (1ms is enough to achieve a good
performance)
3. We have compared different load level response time/latency (low,
high, peak), "delay method" didn't bring very much response time
increase.
4. 1ms delay can reduce 30% context switch at peak performance, where
produces the benefits. (int sched_ratelimit_us = 1000 is the
recommended setting)

1. No need to check for UART existence in the polling routine. We
already check for UART existence during boot-time initialisation (see

2. No obvious need to send a dummy character. The poll routine will
run until a character is eventually sent, but for the most common use
of serial ports (console logging) that will happen almost immediately.

Jan Beulich b1aff7cfd4 x86: work around certain Intel BIOSes causing (transient) hangs during
boot

They apparently leave the USB legacy emulation bits set in ICH10's
SMI Control and Enable register, but fail to handle the resulting SMIs
gracefully. The hangs can apparently extend indefinitely, but are
commonly observed to last between a few seconds and a minute.

This assumes that only ICH10-based systems on Intel main boards with
Intel BIOS may be affected. Until Intel comes up with a more precise
identification of affected BIOSes, all Intel ones on Intel boards
will get this workaround applied.

Tim Deegan 21fb307747 x86/mm/shadow: adjust early-unshadow heuristic for PAE guests.
PAE guests have 8-byte PTEs but tend to clear memory with 4-byte
writes.
This means that when zeroing a former pagetable every second 4-byte
write is unaligned and so the consecutive-zeroes --> unshadow
heuristic never kicks in.  Adjust the heuristic not to reset when
a write is >= 4 bytes and writing zero but not PTE-aligned.

Jan Beulich 59cabad54a x86/xsave: provide guests with finit-like environment
Without the use of xsave, guests get their initial floating point
environment set up with finit. At least NetWare actually depends on
this (in particular on all exceptions being masked), so to be
consistent set the same environment also when using xsave. This is
also in line with all SSE exceptions getting masked initially.

To avoid further fragile casts in xstate_alloc_save_area() the patch
also changes xsave_struct's fpu_see member to have actually usable
fields.

The patch was tested in its technically identical, but modified-file-
wise different 4.1.2 version.

Jan Beulich abb045f48c x86/vMSI: miscellaneous fixes
This addresses a number of problems in msixtbl_{read,write}():
- address alignment was not checked, allowing for memory corruption in
  the hypervisor (write case) or returning of hypervisor private data
  to the guest (read case)
- the interrupt mask bit was permitted to be written by the guest
  (while Xen's interrupt flow control routines need to control it)
- MAX_MSIX_TABLE_{ENTRIES,PAGES} were pointlessly defined to plain
  numbers (making it unobvious why they have these values, and making
  the latter non-portable)
- MAX_MSIX_TABLE_PAGES was also off by one (failing to account for a
  non-zero table offset); this was also affecting host MSI-X code
- struct msixtbl_entry's table_flags[] was one element larger than
  necessary due to improper open-coding of BITS_TO_LONGS()
- msixtbl_read() unconditionally accessed the physical table, even
  though the data was only needed in a quarter of all cases
- various calculations were done unnecessarily for both of the rather
  distinct code paths in msixtbl_read()

Additionally it is unclear on what basis MAX_MSIX_ACC_ENTRIES was
chosen to be 3.

Dealing with interrupts from VT-d IOMMU(s) is deferred to a
softirq-tasklet, raised by the actual IRQ handler. Since a new
interrupt is not generated, even if further faults occur, until we
cleared all the pending ones, there's no need of disabling IRQs, as
the hardware does it by its own.  Notice that this may cause the log
to overflow, but none of the existing entry will be overwritten.

Jan Beulich 6f8145eee3 x86/emulator: workaround for AMD erratum 573
The only cases where we might end up emulating fsincos (as any other
x87 operations without memory operands) are
- when a HVM guest is in real mode (not applicable on AMD)
- between two half page table updates in PAE mode (unlikely, and not
  doing the emulation here does affect only performance, not
  correctness)
- when a guest maliciously (or erroneously) modifies an (MMIO or page
  table update) instruction under emulation (unspecified behavior)

Hence, in order to avoid the erratum to cause harm to the entire host,
don't emulate fsincos on the affected AMD CPU families.
