./configure --prefix=${prefix}

On a fast model which has RAM at 0x80000000-0x100000000 and
0x880000000-0x900000000 this reduces the size of the frametable from

Move the code to common code+header and introduce HAS_PDX to control when it is
built. L2_PAGETABLE_SHIFT is x86 specific, so introduce PDX_GROUP_SHIFT to
abstract it out.

ARM has no need for superpage compression (yet?) and lacks SUPERPAGE_SHIFT so
those functions (spage_to_mfn et al) are not moved.

No affect on x86 and no change for ARM (yet).

Ian Campbell 1c92a2aaf8 xen: arm: support for up to 48-bit IPA addressing on arm64
Currently we support only 40-bits. This is insufficient on systems where
peripherals which need to be 1:1 mapped to dom0 are above the 40-bit limit.

Unfortunately the hardware requirements are such that this means that the
number of levels in the P2M is not static and must vary with the number of
implemented physical address bits. This is described in ARM DDI 0487A.b Table
D4-5. In short there is no single p2m configuration which supports everything
from 40- to 48- bits.

For example a system which supports up to 40-bit addressing will only support 3
level p2m (maximum SL0 is 1 == 3 levels), requiring a concatenated page table
root consisting of two pages to make the full 40-bits of addressing.

A maximum of 16 pages can be concatenated meaning that a 3 level p2m can only
support up to 43-bit addresses. Therefore support for 48-bit addressing
requires SL0==2 (4 levels of paging).

After the previous patches our various p2m lookup and manipulation functions
already support starting at arbitrary level and with arbitrary root
concatenation. All that remains is to determine the correct settings from
ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange for which we use a lookup table.

As well as supporting 44 and 48 bit addressing we can also reduce the order of
the first level for systems which support only 32 or 36 physical address bits,
saving a page.

Systems with 42-bits are an interesting case, since they only support 3 levels
of paging, implying that 8 pages are required at the root level. So far I am
not aware of any systems with peripheral located so high up (the only 42-bit
system I've seen has nothing above 40-bits), so such systems remain configured
for 40-bit IPA with a pair of pages at the root of the p2m.

Switching to symbolic names for the VTCR_EL2 bits as we go improves the clarity
of the result.

Parts of this are derived from "xen/arm: Add 4-level page table for
stage 2 translation" by Vijaya Kumar K.

arm32 remains with the static 3-level, 2 page root configuration.

Ian Campbell f9b1d360da xen: arm: handle concatenated root tables in dump_pt_walk
ARM allows for the concatenation of pages at the root of a p2m (but not a
regular page table) in order to support a larger IPA space than the number of
levels in the P2M would normally support. We use this to support 40-bit guest
addresses.

Previously we were unable to dump IPAs which were outside the first page of the
root. To fix this we adjust dump_pt_walk to take the machine address of the
page table root instead of expecting the caller to have mapped it. This allows
the walker code to select the correct page to map.

It also paves the way for boot-time selection of the number of levels to use in

To support multiple levels it is convenient to recast the page table walk as a

Speed optimization for introspection purposes: a handful of registers

to fill in relevant values. Since the EPT event processing code needs
more data than CR3 or MSR event processors, hvm_mem_event_fill_regs()
fills in less data than p2m_mem_event_fill_regs(), in order to avoid
overhead. Struct hvm_hw_cpu has been considered instead of the custom
struct mem_event_regs_st, but its size would cause quick filling up
of the mem_event ring buffer.

Jan Beulich c47c316d99 x86/HVM: batch vCPU wakeups
Mass wakeups (via vlapic_ipi()) can take enormous amounts of time,
especially when many of the remote pCPU-s are in deep C-states. For
64-vCPU Windows Server 2012 R2 guests on Ivybridge hardware,
accumulated times of over 2ms were observed (average 1.1ms).
Considering that Windows broadcasts IPIs from its timer interrupt,
which at least at certain times can run at 1kHz, it is clear that this
can't result in good guest behavior. In fact, on said hardware guests
with significantly beyond 40 vCPU-s simply hung when e.g. ServerManager
gets started.

This isn't just helping to reduce the number of ICR writes when the
host APICs run in clustered mode, it also reduces them by suppressing
the sends altogether when - by the time
cpu_raise_softirq_batch_finish() is reached - the remote CPU already
managed to handle the softirq. Plus - when using MONITOR/MWAIT - the
update of softirq_pending(cpu), being on the monitored cache line -
should make the remote CPU wake up ahead of the ICR being sent,
allowing the wait-for-ICR-idle latencies to be reduced (perhaps to a
large part due to overlapping the wakeups of multiple CPUs).

With this alone (i.e. without the IPI avoidance patch in place),
average broadcast times for a 64-vCPU guest went down to a measured
maximum of 310us. With that other patch in place, improvements aren't
as clear anymore (short term averages only went down from 255us to
250us, which clearly is within the error range of the measurements),
but longer term an improvement of the averages is still visible.
Depending on hardware, long term maxima were observed to go down quite
a bit (on aforementioned hardware), while they were seen to go up
again on a (single core) Nehalem (where instead the improvement on the
average values was more visible).

Of course this necessarily increases the latencies for the remote
CPU wakeup at least slightly. To weigh between the effects, the
condition to enable batching in vlapic_ipi() may need further tuning.

Jan Beulich 9a727a813e x86: suppress event check IPI to MWAITing CPUs
Mass wakeups (via vlapic_ipi()) can take enormous amounts of time,

accumulated times of over 2ms were observed (average 1.1ms).

can't result in good guest behavior. In fact, on said hardware guests
with significantly beyond 40 vCPU-s simply hung when e.g. ServerManager
gets started.

Recognizing that writes to softirq_pending() already have the effect of
waking remote CPUs from MWAITing (due to being co-located on the same
cache line with mwait_wakeup()), we can avoid sending IPIs to CPUs we
know are in a (deep) C-state entered via MWAIT.

With this, average broadcast times for a 64-vCPU guest went down to a
measured maximum of 255us (which is still quite a lot).

One aspect worth noting is that cpumask_raise_softirq() gets brought in
sync here with cpu_raise_softirq() in that now both don't attempt to
raise a self-IPI on the processing CPU.

Wei Liu e6afc7063a xl: use libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration and JSON format
Before this change, xl stores domain configuration in "xl" format, which
is in fact a verbatim copy of user supplied domain config.

Now libxl provides a new API to retrieve domain configuration, switch to
that new API, store configuration in JSON format.

Tests done so far (xl.{new,old} denotes xl with{,out} "libxl-json"
support):

1. xl.new create then xl.new save, hexdump saved file: domain config
   saved in JSON format
2. xl.new create, xl.new save then xl.old restore: failed on
   mandatory flag check
3. xl.new create, xl.new save then xl.new restore: succeeded
4. xl.old create, xl.old save then xl.new restore: succeeded
5. xl.new create then local migrate, receiving end xl.new: succeeded
6. xl.old create then local migrate, receiving end xl.new: succeeded

Note that "xl" config is still supported and handled when restarting a
domain. "xl" config file takes precedence over "libxl-json" in that
case, so that user who uses "config-update" to store new config file
won't have regression. All other scenarios (migration, domain listing
etc.) now use the new API.

Lastly, print out warning when users invoke "config-update" to
discourage them from using this command.

Wei Liu 12ebbe2bae libxl: introduce libxl_userdata_unlink
This will be used in later patch for xl to remove its "xl" userdata
file.

Both CTX lock and userdata lock are taken in this API. CTX lock is taken
to maintain locking hierarchy, but it also has a side effect to protect
against R-M-W by other threads. Userdata lock is used to protect against
domain destruction.

In general application should not rely on these internal locks to
protect its own userdata files. It should deploys its own lock if it
cares.

Wei Liu 9d5550ffc5 libxl: introduce libxl_retrieve_domain_configuration
Introduce a new public API to return domain configuration. This returned
configuration can be used to rebuild a domain.

Note that this configuration only describes the configuration necessary
to reproduce the guest visible state and does not necessarily include
specific decisions made by the toolstack regarding its current
incarnation (e.g. disk backend) unless they were specified by the
application when the domain was created.

With this approach we can preserve what user has provided in the
original configuration as well as valuable information from xenstore.

Wei Liu 6c0e7d1032 libxl: refactor libxl_get_memory_target
Introduce a helper function which can return both "target" node and
"static-max" node of a domain. Reimplement libxl_get_memory_target using
this helper. libxl__fill_dom0_memory_info is adjusted as well.

This helper will be used in later patch.

Wei Liu 577314768b libxl: make libxl_cd_insert "eject" + "insert"
We introduce an intermediate empty state when inserting media into
CDROM. The scheme works like this:

  lock json config
  write empty state to xenstore
  for (;;) {
      write user supplied disk to JSON
      write disk information to xenstore
  }
  unlock json config

Bear in mind that all steps can fail. With the proposed scheme, we now
know, if xenstore is empty, then CDROM should be considered empty;
otherwise we should use JSON version of CDROM configuration.

Wei Liu 4197d3abbb libxl: synchronise configuration when we hotplug a device
We update JSON version first, then write to xenstore, so that we
maintain the following invariant: any device which is present in
xenstore has a corresponding entry in JSON.

The workflow is as followed:
   lock json config
       read json config
       update in-memory json config with new entry, replacing
         any stale entry
       for loop
           open xs transaction
           check device existence, abort if it exists
           write in-memory json config to disk
           commit xs transaction
       end for loop
   unlock json config

Please see comment in libxl_internal.h for correctness proof.

As those routines are called both during domain creation and device
hotplug, we add a flag to indicate whether we need to update JSON
config. This flag is only set to true when we hotplug a device. We
cannot update JSON config during domain creation as JSON config is
committed to disk only when domain creation finishes.

Wei Liu a788fe0cd8 libxl: rework domain userdata file lock
The lock introduced in d2cd9d4f ("libxl: functions to lock / unlock
libxl userdata store") has a bug that can leak the lock file when domain
destruction races with other functions that try to get hold of the lock.

There are several issues:
1. The lock is released too early with libxl__userdata_destroyall
   deletes everything in userdata store, including the lock file.
2. The check of domain existence is only done at the beginning of lock
   function, by the time the lock is acquired, the domain might have
   been gone already.

The effect of this two issues is we can run into such situation:

     Process 1                        Process 2 domain destruction
   # LOCK FUNCTION                 # LOCK FUNCTION
    check domain existence          check domain existence
                                    acquire lock (file created)
                                   # LOCK FUNCTION
                                    destroy all files (lock file deleted,
                                                       lock released)
    acquire lock (file created)
   # LOCK FUNCTION                  destroy domain
                                   # UNLOCK (close fd only)
   [ lock file leaked ]

Fix this problem by deploying following changes:

1. Unlink lock file in unlock function.
2. Modify libxl__userdata_destroyall to not delete domain-userdata-lock,
   so that the lock remains held until unlock function is called.
3. Check domain still exists when the lock is acquired, unlock if
   domain is already gone.
