xen: make -fstack-protector work under Xen

2009-09-09T23:37:39Z

-fstack-protector uses a special per-cpu "stack canary" value. gcc generates special code in each function to test the canary to make sure that the function's stack hasn't been overrun. On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited. [ Impact: allow Xen booting with stack-protector enabled ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

xen: add /sys/hypervisor support

2009-03-30T16:27:06Z

Adds support for Xen info under /sys/hypervisor. Taken from Novell 2.6.27 backport tree. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

xen: add /dev/xen/evtchn driver

2009-03-30T16:26:49Z

This driver is used by application which wish to receive notifications from the hypervisor or other guests via Xen's event channel mechanism. In particular it is used by the xenstore daemon in domain 0. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

xen: add xenfs to allow usermode <-> Xen interaction

2009-01-08T16:30:59Z

The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode. Initially this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore. Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen. Rather than extending procfs, this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

Xen: fix cpu_hotplug build when !CONFIG_SMP

2008-09-05T15:44:07Z

Compile cpu_hotplug.c conditionally on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU Signed-off-by: Alex Nixon Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

xen: implement CPU hotplugging

2008-08-25T09:25:14Z

Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging: A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing its entry in /sys. A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available, or implement a more complex policy.

xen: Move manage.c to drivers/xen for ia64/xen support

2008-05-27T08:11:36Z

move arch/x86/xen/manage.c under drivers/xen/to share codes with x86 and ia64. ia64/xen also uses manage.c Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

xen: add balloon driver

2008-04-24T21:57:33Z

The balloon driver allows memory to be dynamically added or removed from the domain, in order to allow host memory to be balanced between multiple domains. This patch introduces the Xen balloon driver, though it currently only allows a domain to be shrunk from its initial size (and re-grown back to that size). A later patch will add the ability to grow a domain beyond its initial size. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

xen: import arch generic part of xencomm

2008-04-24T21:57:32Z

On xen/ia64 and xen/powerpc hypercall arguments are passed by pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that it's necessary to convert from virtual address into pseudo physical address. The frame work is called xencomm. Import arch generic part of xencomm. Signed-off-by: Isaku Yamahata Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner
