* lguest: update commentryRusty Russell2009-07-301-10/+90
| | | | | | | | | | Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README). Since we now use RCU in a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

* lguest: fix comment styleRusty Russell2009-07-301-47/+90
| | | | | | | | | I don't really notice it (except to begrudge the extra vertical space), but Ingo does. And he pointed out that one excuse of lguest is as a teaching tool, it should set a good example. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
* lguest: dereferencing freed mem in add_eventfd()Dan Carpenter2009-07-301-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "new" was freed and then dereferenced. Also the return value wasn't being used so I modified the caller as well. Compile tested only. Found by smatch (http://repo.or.cz/w/smatch.git). regards, dan carpenter Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* eventfd: revised interface and cleanupsDavide Libenzi2009-06-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from the file pointer instance. Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also, now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the file*. This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under development.

* lguest: remove obsolete LHREQ_BREAK callRusty Russell2009-06-121-31/+0
| | | | | | | | We no longer need an efficient mechanism to force the Guest back into host userspace, as each device is serviced without bothering the main Guest process (aka. the Launcher). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: use eventfds for device notificationRusty Russell2009-06-121-2/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when a Guest wants to perform I/O it calls LHCALL_NOTIFY with an address: the main Launcher process returns with this address, and figures out what device to run. A far nicer model is to let processes bind an eventfd to an address: if we find one, we simply signal the eventfd.

* lguest: allow any process to send interruptsRusty Russell2009-06-121-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | We currently only allow the Launcher process to send interrupts, but it as we already send interrupts from the hrtimer, it's a simple matter of extracting that code into a common set_interrupt routine. As we switch to a thread per virtqueue, this avoids a bottleneck through the main Launcher process. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: fix lguest wake on guest clock tick, or fd activityRusty Russell2009-06-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | The Launcher could be inside the Guest on another CPU; wake_up_process will do nothing because it is "running". kick_process will knock it back into our kernel in this case, otherwise we'll miss it until the next guest exit. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: Fix a memory leak with the lg object during launcher closeMark Wallis2009-01-301-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | Fix a memory leak identified by Rusty Russell during LCA09 by kfree'ing the lg object instead of just clearing it when the launcher closes. Signed-off-by: Mark Wallis <mwallis@serialmonkey.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: move the initial guest page table creation code to the hostMatias Zabaljauregui2008-12-301-8/+5
| | | | | | | | 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: remove bogus NULL cpu checkRusty Russell2008-05-021-2/+0
| | | | | | If lg isn't NULL, and cpu_id is sane, &lg->cpus[cpu_id] can't be NULL. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: avoid using NR_CPUS as a bounds check.Rusty Russell2008-05-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | NR_CPUS (being a host number) is an arbitrary limit for the Guest. Using the array size directly (which currently happes to be NR_CPUS) is more futureproof. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* lguest: comment documentation update.Rusty Russell2008-03-281-9/+21
| | | | | | | | | 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: make sure cpu is initialized before accessing itEugene Teo2008-03-111-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | If req is LHREQ_INITIALIZE, and the guest has been initialized before (unlikely), it will attempt to access cpu->tsk even though cpu is not yet initialized. Signed-off-by: Eugene Teo <eugeneteo@kernel.sg> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: Use explicit includes rateher than indirectGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | explicitly use ktime.h include explicitly use hrtimer.h include explicitly use sched.h include This patch adds headers explicitly to lguest sources file, to avoid depending on them being included somewhere else.

* lguest: move last_pages to lg_cpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | in our new model, pages are assigned to a virtual cpu, not to a guest. We move it to the lg_cpu structure. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: make pending notifications per-vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | this patch makes the pending_notify field, used to control pending notifications, per-vcpu, instead of per-guest Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: per-vcpu lguest task managementGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-25/+28
| | | | | | | | | | lguest uses tasks to control its running behaviour (like sending breaks, controlling halted state, etc). In a per-vcpu environment, each vcpu will have its own underlying task. So this patch makes the infrastructure for that possible 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 Costa2008-01-301-18/+19
| | | | | | | | | | 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: per-vcpu interrupt processing.Glauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-4/+4

* lguest: per-vcpu lguest timersGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-5/+5
| | | | | | | | Here, I introduce per-vcpu timers. With this, we can have local expiries, needed for accounting time in smp guests Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: make write() operation smp awareGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the write() file operation smp aware. Which means, receiving the vcpu_id value through the offset parameter, and being well aware to which vcpu we're talking to. Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: per-cpu run guestGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the run_guest() routine use the lg_cpu struct. This is required since in a smp guest environment, there's no more the notion of "running the guest", but rather, it is "running the vcpu" Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* lguest: initialize vcpuGlauber de Oliveira Costa2008-01-301-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | this patch initializes the first vcpu in the initialize() routing, which is responsible for starting the process of putting the guest up. right now, as much of the fields are still not per-vcpu, it does not do much.

* Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-34/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an address. The main change is the removal of io.c: that mainly did inter-guest I/O, which virtio doesn't yet support. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Move register setup into i386_core.cJes Sorensen2007-10-231-36/+1
| | | | | | | | Move setup_regs() to lguest_arch_setup_regs() in i386_core.c given that this is very architecture specific. Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Change example launcher to use unsigned long not u32Jes Sorensen2007-10-231-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Apply Clue 2x4 to lguest userland<->kernel handling code and the lguest launcher. Pointers are not to be passed in u32's! Basic rule of thumb: Anything passing u32's back and forth should be passing unsigned longs to be portable to 64 bit archs. For those who forgotten already, I repeat: NO POINTERS IN u32!

* Remove fixed limit on number of guests, and lguests array.Rusty Russell2007-10-231-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | Back when we had all the Guest state in the switcher, we had a fixed array of them. This is no longer necessary. If we switch the network code to using random_ether_addr (46 bits is enough to avoid clashes), we can get rid of the concept of "guest id" altogether. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcherRusty Russell2007-10-231-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | 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>
