libxl: keep PoD target adjustment by memory fudge after reload_domain_config()
Commit 56fb5fd623 ("libxl: adjust PoD target by memory fudge, too")
introduced target_memkb adjustment for HVM PoD domains on create,
wherein the value it wrote to target is always 1MiB lower than the
actual target_memkb. Unfortunately, on reboot, it is this value which
is read *unmodified* to feed into the next domain creation; from which
1MiB is subtracted *again*. This means that any guest which reboots
with memory < maxmem will have its memory target decreased by 1MiB on
every boot.
This patch makes it so that when reading target on reboot, we adjust the
value we read *up* by 1MiB, so that the domain will be build with the
appropriate amount of memory and the target will remain the same after
reboot.
This is still not quite a complete fix, as the 1MiB offset is only
subtracted when creating or rebooting; it is not subtracted when 'xl
set-memory' is called. But it will prevent any situations where memory
is continually increased or decreased. A better fix will have to wait
until after the release.

xen:arm: arm64: Add correct MPIDR_HWID_MASK value for ARM64
Currently, MPIDR_HWID_MASK is using the bit definition of AArch32
MPIDR register. But from D7.2.67 of ARM ARM (DDI 0487A.i) we can see
there are 4 levels of affinity on AArch64 whilst AArch32 has only 3.
So, this value is not correct when Xen is running on AArch64.
Now, we use the value 0xff00ffffff for this macro on AArch64. But
neither of this value and its bitwise invert value can be used in mov
instruction with the encoding of {imm16:shift} or {imms:immr}. So we
have to use ldr to load the bitwise invert value to register.
The details of mov immediate encoding are listed in C4.2.5 of ARM ARM

The cpu_logical_map is used to store CPU hardware ID from MPIDR_EL1 or
from CPU node of DT. Currently, the cpu_logical_map is using the u32 as
its variable type. It can work properly while Xen is running on ARM32,
because the hardware ID is 32-bits. While Xen is running on ARM64, the
hardware ID expands to 64-bits and then the cpu_logical_map will overflow.
Change the variable type of cpu_logical_map to register_t will make
cpu_logical_map to store hardware IDs correctly on ARM32 and ARM64.

In fact, we should only sample NOW() from _inside_
the critical region within which the value we read is
used. If we don't, in case we have to spin for a while
before entering the region, when actually using it:
1) we will use something that, at the veryy least, is
not really "now", because of the spinning,
2) if someone else sampled NOW() during a critical
region protected by the lock we are spinning on,
and if we compare the two samples when we get
inside our region, our one will be 'earlier',
even if we actually arrived later, which is a
race.
In Credit2, we see an instance of 2), in runq_tickle(),
when it is called by csched2_context_saved() as it samples
NOW() before acquiring the runq lock. This makes things
look like the time went backwards, and it confuses the
algorithm (there's even a d2printk() about it, which would
trigger all the time, if enabled).
In RTDS, something similar happens in repl_timer_handler(),
and there's another instance in schedule() (in generic code),
so fix these cases too.
While there, improve csched2_vcpu_wake() and and rt_vcpu_wake()
a little as well (removing a pointless initialization, and
moving the sampling a bit closer to its use). These two hunks
entail no further functional changes.

docs/build: Avoid using multi-target pattern rules
Multi-target non-pattern rules and Multi-target pattern rules behave rather
differently. From `Pattern Intro':
Pattern rules may have more than one target. Unlike normal rules, this does
not act as many different rules with the same prerequisites and commands.
If a pattern rule has multiple targets, `make' knows that the rule's
commands are responsible for making all of the targets. The commands are
executed only once to make all the targets.
The intended use of the multi-target pattern rules was to avoid repeating the
identical recipe multiple times. The issue can be demonstrated with the
generation of documentation from pandoc source.
./xen.git$ touch docs/features/template.pandoc
./xen.git$ make -C docs/
# Regenerates html/features/template.html
./xen.git$ make -C docs/
# Regenerates txt/features/template.txt
./xen.git$ make -C docs/
# Regenerates pdf/features/template.pdf
To work around this, there need to be three distinct rules, so the execution
of one recipe doesn't short ciruit the others. To avoid copy&paste
duplication, introduce a metarule, and evalute it for each document target.
As $(PANDOC) is used to generate documentation from different source types,
the metarule can be extended to also encompas the rule to create pdfs from
markdown.

This is done by calling recursively apply_p2m_changes, however the

The p2m lock is here to protect 2 threads modifying concurrently the

insertion or memory allocation.
The function apply_p2m_changes can work with region not-aligned to a
block size (2MB, 1G) or page size (4K). The mapping will be done by
splitting the region in a set of regions aligned to the size supported
by the page table.
The mapping of a region could fail when it is not possible to allocate
memory for an intermediate table (i.e a new or when shattering a block).
When the mapping is undone, the end of the region is computed using the
base address of the current region and the size of the failing level.
However the failing level may not be the leaf one, therefore unrelated
entries will be removed.
Fix it by removing the mapping from the start address up to the last
region that has been successfully mapped.

The translation ends up correct (as the formats are sufficiently similar), but
the control bits in lower 12 bits differ in meaning. A plain PT walker sets
A/D bits (bits 5 and 6) as it walks, but in EPT tables, these are the IPAT and

tools/xendomains: Create lockfile on start unconditionally
At the moment, the xendomains init script will only create a lockfile
if when started, it actually does something -- either tries to restore
a previously saved domain as a result of XENDOMAINS_RESTORE, or tries
to create a domain as a result of XENDOMAINS_AUTO.
RedHat-based SYSV init systems try to only call "${SERVICE} shutdown"
on systems which actually have an actively running component; and they
use the existence of /var/lock/subsys/${SERVICE} to determine which
systems are running.
This means that at the moment, on RedHat-based SYSV systems (such as
CentOS 6), if you enable xendomains, and have XENDOMAINS_RESTORE set
to "true", but don't happen to start a VM, then your running VMs will
not be suspended on shutdown.
Since the lockfile doesn't really have any other effect than to
prevent duplicate starting, just create it unconditionally every time
we start the xendomains script.
The other option would have been to touch the lockfile if
XENDOMAINS_RESTORE was true regardless of whether there were any
domains to be restored. But this would mean that if you started with
the xendomains script active but XENDOMAINS_RESTORE set to "false",
and then changed it to "true", then xendomains would still not run the
next time you shut down. This seems to me to violate the principle of
least surprise.

hotplug: Fix xendomains lock path for RHEL-based systems
Commit c996572 changed the LOCKFILE path from a check between two
hardcoded paths (/var/lock/subsys/ or /var/lock) to using the
XEN_LOCK_DIR variable designated at configure time. Since
XEN_LOCK_DIR doesn't (and shouldn't) have the 'subsys' postfix, this
effectively moves all the lock files by default to /var/lock instead.
Unfortunately, this breaks xendomains on RedHat-based SYSV init
systems. RedHat-based SYSV init systems try to only call "${SERVICE}
shutdown" on systems which actually have an actively running
component; and they use the existence of /var/lock/subsys/${SERVICE}
to determine which systems are running.
Changing XEN_LOCK_DIR to /var/lock/subsys is not suitable, as only
system services like xendomains should create lockfiles there; other
locks (such as the console locks) should be created in /var/lock
instead.
Instead, re-instate the check for the subsys/ subdirectory of the lock
directory in the xendomains script.

x86/hvm: Fix invalidation for emulated invlpg instructions
hap_invlpg() is reachable from the instruction emulator, which means
introspection and tests using hvm_fep can end up here. As such, crashing the
domain is not an appropriate action to take.
Fixing this involves rearranging the callgraph.
paging_invlpg() is now the central entry point. It first checks for the
non-canonical NOP case, and calls ino the paging subsystem. If a real flush
is needed, it will call the appropriate handler for the vcpu. This allows the
PV callsites of paging_invlpg() to be simplified.
The sole user of hvm_funcs.invlpg_intercept() is altered to use
paging_invlpg() instead, allowing the .invlpg_intercept() hook to be removed.
For both VMX and SVM, the existing $VENDOR_invlpg_intercept() is split in
half. $VENDOR_invlpg_intercept() stays as the intercept handler only (which
just calls paging_invlpg()), and new $VENDOR_invlpg() functions do the
ASID/VPID management. These later functions are made available in hvm_funcs
for paging_invlpg() to use.
As a result, correct ASID/VPID management occurs for the hvmemul path, even if
it did not originate from an real hardware intercept.

commit 64269d9365 "sched: implement .init_pdata in Credit,
Credit2 and RTDS" helped fixing Credit2 runqueues, and
the races we had in switching scheduler for pCPUs, but
introduced another issue. In fact, if CPU bringup fails
during __cpu_up() (and, more precisely, after CPU_UP_PREPARE,
but before CPU_STARTING) the CPU_UP_CANCELED notifier
would be executed, which calls the free_pdata hook.
Such hook does, right now, two things: (1) undo the
initialization done inside the init_pdata hook and (2)
free the memory allocated by the alloc_pdata hook.
However, in the failure path just described, it is possible
that only alloc_pdata were called, and this is potentially
an issue (depending on how actually free_pdata does).
In fact, for Credit1 (the only scheduler that actually
allocates per-pCPU data), this result in calling kill_timer()
on a timer that had not yet been initialized, which causes
the following:
Solve this by making the scheduler hooks API symmetric again,
i.e., by adding a deinit_pdata hook and making it responsible
of undoing what init_pdata did, rather than asking to free_pdata
to do everything.
This is cleaner and, in the case at hand, makes it possible to
only call free_pdata (which is the right thing to do) as only
allocation and no initialization was performed.

pointer is loaded when an exception occurs. As we don't want to
use the non-privileged SP_EL0 stack pointer -- or even assume that SP_EL0

that our EL2 code sets the SPSel to SP_ELn mode, so exceptions that trap

This corrects an issue that can manifest as a hang-on-IRQ on some

to 0; in which case Xen's exceptions will incorrectly use an invalid SP_EL0,
and will endlessly spin on the synchronous abort handler.
