A recent xentrace highlighted an unhandled corner case in the vcpu
"start-of-day" logic, if the trace starts after the last running ->
non-running transition, but before the first non-running -> running
transition. Because start-of-day wasn't handled, vcpu_next_update()
was expecting p->current to be NULL, and tripping out with the
following error message when it wasn't:
vcpu_next_update: FATAL: p->current not NULL! (d32768dv$p, runstate RUNSTATE_INIT)
where 32768 is the DEFAULT_DOMAIN, and $p is the pcpu number.
Instead of calling vcpu_start() piecemeal throughout
sched_runstate_process(), call it at the top of the function if the
vcpu in question is still in RUNSTATE_INIT, so that we can handle all
the cases in one place.
Sketch out at the top of the function all cases which we need to
handle, and what to do in those cases. Some transitions tell us where
v is running; some transitions tell us about what is (or is not)
running on p; some transitions tell us neither.
If a transition tells us where v is now running, update its state;
otherwise leave it in INIT, in order to avoid having to deal with TSC
skew on start-up.
If a transition tells us what is or is not running on p, update
p->current (either to v or NULL). Otherwise leave it alone.
If neither, do nothing.
Reifying those rules:
- If we're continuing to run, set v to RUNNING, and use p->first_tsc
as the runstate time.
- If we're starting to run, set v to RUNNING, and use ri->tsc as the
runstate time.
- If v is being deschedled, leave v in the INIT state to avoid dealing
with TSC skew; but set p->current to NULL so that whatever is
scheduled next won't trigger the assert in vcpu_next_update().
- If a vcpu is waking up (switching from one non-runnable state to
another non-runnable state), leave v in INIT, and p in whatever
state it's in (which may be the default domain, or some other vcpu
which has already run).
While here, fix the comment above vcpu_start; it's called when the
vcpu state is INIT, not when current is the default domain.
