# 288917 06-Oct-2015 royger

Update Xen headers from 4.2 to 4.6

Pull the latest headers for Xen which allow us to add support for ARM and
use new features in FreeBSD.

This is a verbatim copy of the xen/include/public so every headers which
don't exits anymore in the Xen repositories have been dropped.

Note the interface version hasn't been bumped, it will be done in a
follow-up. Although, it requires fix in the code to get it compiled:

- sys/xen/xen_intr.h: evtchn_port_t is already defined in the headers so
drop it.

- {amd64,i386}/include/intr_machdep.h: NR_EVENT_CHANNELS now depends on
xen/interface/event_channel.h, so include it.

- {amd64,i386}/{amd64,i386}/support.S: It's not neccessary to include
machine/intr_machdep.h. This is also fixing build compilation with the
new headers.

- dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c: The typedef for blkif_request_segmenthas
been dropped. So directly use struct blkif_request_segment

Finally, modify xen/interface/xen-compat.h to throw a preprocessing error if
__XEN_INTERFACE_VERSION__ is not set. This is allow us to catch any file
where xen/xen-os.h is not correctly included.

# 286062 30-Jul-2015 cperciva

Add support for Xen blkif indirect segment I/Os. This makes it possible for
the blkfront driver to perform I/Os of up to 2 MB, subject to support from
the blkback to which it is connected and the initiation of such large I/Os
by the rest of the kernel. In practice, the I/O size is increased from 40 kB
to 128 kB.

The changes to xen/interface/io/blkif.h consist merely of merging updates
from the upstream Xen repository.

In dev/xen/blkfront/block.h we add some convenience macros and structure
fields used for indirect-page I/Os: The device records its negotiated limit
on the number of indirect pages used, while each I/O command structure gains
permanently allocated page(s) for indirect page references and the Xen grant
references for those pages.

In dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c we now check in xbd_queue_cb whether a request
is small enough to handle without an indirection page, and either follow the
previous behaviour or use new code for issuing an indirect segment I/O. In
xbd_connect we read the size of indirect segment I/Os supported by the backend
and select the maximum size we will use; then allocate the pages and Xen grant
references for each I/O command structure. In xbd_free those grants and pages
are released.

A new loader tunable, hw.xbd.xbd_enable_indirect, can be set to 0 in order to
disable this functionality; it works by pretending that the backend does not
support this feature. Some backends exhibit a loss of performance with large
I/Os, so users may wish to test with and without this functionality enabled.

# 284664 21-Jun-2015 cperciva

Garbage collect comments which related to the pre-r284296 support for a
"segment block" extension in FreeBSD's Xen blkfront/blkback drivers.

Since this commit only affects comments, it should have no functional
effect.


# 284296 12-Jun-2015 royger

xen-blk{front/back}: remove broken FreeBSD extensions

The FreeBSD extension adds a new request type, called blkif_segment_block
which has a size of 112bytes for both i386 and amd64. This is fine on
amd64, since requests have a size of 112B there also. But this is not true
for i386, where requests have a size of 108B. So on i386 we basically
overrun the ring slot when queuing a request of type blkif_segment_block_t,
which is very bad.

Remove this extension (including a cleanup of the public blkif.h header
file) from blkfront and blkback.

# 251767 14-Jun-2013 gibbs

Upgrade Xen interface headers to Xen 4.2.1.

Move FreeBSD from interface version 0x00030204 to 0x00030208.
Updates are required to our grant table implementation before we
can bump this further.

sys/xen/hvm.h:
Replace the implementation of hvm_get_parameter(), formerly located
in sys/xen/interface/hvm/params.h. Linux has a similar file which
primarily stores this function.

sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
Include new xen/hvm.h header file to get hvm_get_parameter().

sys/amd64/include/xen/xen-os.h:
sys/i386/include/xen/xen-os.h:
Correctly protect function definition and variables from being
included into assembly files in xen-os.h

Xen memory barriers are now prefixed with "xen_" to avoid conflicts
with OS native primatives. Define Xen memory barriers in terms of
the native FreeBSD primatives.

# 231743 15-Feb-2012 gibbs

Enhance documentation, improve interoperability, and fix defects in
FreeBSD's front and back Xen blkif interface drivers.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
Replace FreeBSD specific multi-page ring impelementation with
support for both the Citrix and Amazon/RedHat versions of this
extension.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
o Add a per-instance sysctl tree that exposes all negotiated
transport parameters (ring pages, max number of requests,
max request size, max number of segments).
o In blkfront_vdevice_to_unit() add a missing return statement
so that we properly identify the unit number for high numbered
xvd devices.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
o Add static dtrace probes for several events in this driver.
o Defer connection shutdown processing until the front-end
enters the closed state. This avoids prematurely tearing
down the connection when buggy front-ends transition to the
closing state, even though the device is open and they
veto the close request from the tool stack.
o Add nodes for maximum request size and the number of active
ring pages to the exising, per-instance, sysctl tree.
o Miscelaneous style cleanup.

sys/xen/interface/io/blkif.h:
o Add extensive documentation of the XenStore nodes used to
implement the blkif interface.
o Document the startup sequence between a front and back driver.
o Add structures and documenatation for the "discard" feature
(AKA Trim).
o Cleanup some definitions related to FreeBSD's request
number/size/segment-limit extension.

# 214077 19-Oct-2010 gibbs

Improve the Xen para-virtualized device infrastructure of FreeBSD:

o Add support for backend devices (e.g. blkback)
o Implement extensions to the Xen para-virtualized block API to allow
for larger and more outstanding I/Os.
o Import a completely rewritten block back driver with support for fronting
I/O to both raw devices and files.
o General cleanup and documentation of the XenBus and XenStore support code.
o Robustness and performance updates for the block front driver.
o Fixes to the netfront driver.

enumeration and thus does not apply to FreeBSD's NewBus approach.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbus_probe_backend.c:

o Adjust for changes in the bus interface for Xen drivers.

sys/xen/xenbus/...

o Allow users to specify a file as a backend to blkback, in addition
to character devices. Use the namei lookup of the backend path
to automatically configure, based on file type, the appropriate
backend method.

The current implementation is limited to a single outstanding I/O
at a time to file backed storage.

sys/xen/blkif.h:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
Extend the Xen blkif API: Negotiable request size and number of
requests.

This change extends the information recorded in the XenStore
allowing block front/back devices to negotiate for optimal I/O
parameters. This has been achieved without sacrificing backward
compatibility with drivers that are unaware of these protocol
enhancements. The extensions center around the connection protocol
which now includes these additions:

o The back-end device publishes its maximum supported values for,
request I/O size, the number of page segments that can be
associated with a request, the maximum number of requests that
can be concurrently active, and the maximum number of pages that
can be in the shared request ring. These values are published
before the back-end enters the XenbusStateInitWait state.

o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter either the InitWait
or Initialize state. At this point, the front end limits it's
own capabilities to the lesser of the values it finds published
by the backend, it's own maximums, or, should any back-end data
be missing in the store, the values supported by the original
protocol. It then initializes it's internal data structures
including allocation of the shared ring, publishes its maximum
capabilities to the XenStore and transitions to the Initialized
state.

o The back-end waits for the front-end to enter the Initalized
state. At this point, the back end limits it's own capabilities
to the lesser of the values it finds published by the frontend,
it's own maximums, or, should any front-end data be missing in
the store, the values supported by the original protocol. It
then initializes it's internal data structures, attaches to the
shared ring and transitions to the Connected state.

o The front-end waits for the back-end to enter the Connnected
state, transitions itself to the connected state, and can
commence I/O.

Although an updated front-end driver must be aware of the back-end's
InitWait state, the back-end has been coded such that it can
tolerate a front-end that skips this step and transitions directly
to the Initialized state without waiting for the back-end.

sys/xen/interface/io/blkif.h:
o Increase BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST to 255. This is
the maximum number possible without changing the blkif
request header structure (nr_segs is a uint8_t).

o Add two new constants:
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_HEADER_BLOCK, and
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_SEGMENT_BLOCK. These respectively
indicate the number of segments that can fit in the first
ring-buffer entry of a request, and for each subsequent
(sg element only) ring-buffer entry associated with the
"header" ring-buffer entry of the request.

o Add the blkif_request_segment_t typedef for segment
elements.

o Add the BLKRING_GET_SG_REQUEST() macro which wraps the
RING_GET_REQUEST() macro and returns a properly cast
pointer to an array of blkif_request_segment_ts.

o Add the BLKIF_SEGS_TO_BLOCKS() macro which calculates the
number of ring entries that will be consumed by a blkif
request with the given number of segments.

sys/xen/blkif.h:
o Update for changes in interface/io/blkif.h macros.

o Update the BLKIF_MAX_RING_REQUESTS() macro to take the
ring size as an argument to allow this calculation on
multi-page rings.

o Add a companion macro to BLKIF_MAX_RING_REQUESTS(),
BLKIF_RING_PAGES(). This macro determines the number of
ring pages required in order to support a ring with the
supplied number of request blocks.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
o Negotiate with the other-end with the following limits:
Reqeust Size: MAXPHYS
Max Segments: (MAXPHYS/PAGE_SIZE) + 1
Max Requests: 256
Max Ring Pages: Sufficient to support Max Requests with
Max Segments.

o Dynamically allocate request pools and segemnts-per-request.

o Update ring allocation/attachment code to support a
multi-page shared ring.

o Update routines that access the shared ring to handle
multi-block requests.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
o Track blkfront allocations in a blkfront driver specific
malloc pool.

o Strip out XenStore transaction retry logic in the
connection code. Transactions only need to be used when
the update to multiple XenStore nodes must be atomic.
That is not the case here.

o Fully disable blkif_resume() until it can be fixed
properly (it didn't work before this change).

o Destroy bus-dma objects during device instance tear-down.

o Properly handle backend devices with powef-of-2 sector
sizes larger than 512b.

sys/dev/xen/blkback/blkback.c:
Advertise support for and implement the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER
and BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE blkif opcodes using BIO_FLUSH and
the BIO_ORDERED attribute of bios.

sys/dev/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c:
sys/dev/xen/blkfront/block.h:
Fix various bugs in blkfront.

o gnttab_alloc_grant_references() returns 0 for success and
non-zero for failure. The check for < 0 is a leftover
Linuxism.

o When we negotiate with blkback and have to reduce some of our
capabilities, print out the original and reduced capability before
changing the local capability. So the user now gets the correct
information.

o Fix blkif_restart_queue_callback() formatting. Make sure we hold
the mutex in that function before calling xb_startio().

o Fix a couple of KASSERT()s.

o Fix a check in the xb_remove_* macro to be a little more specific.

sys/xen/gnttab.h:
sys/xen/gnttab.c:
Define GNTTAB_LIST_END publicly as GRANT_REF_INVALID.

sys/dev/xen/netfront/netfront.c:
Use GRANT_REF_INVALID instead of driver private definitions of the
same constant.

sys/xen/gnttab.h:
sys/xen/gnttab.c:
Add the gnttab_end_foreign_access_references() API.

This API allows a client to batch the release of an array of grant
references, instead of coding a private for loop. The implementation
takes advantage of this batching to reduce lock overhead to one
acquisition and release per-batch instead of per-freed grant reference.

While here, reduce the duration the gnttab_list_lock is held during
gnttab_free_grant_references() operations. The search to find the
tail of the incoming free list does not rely on global state and so
can be performed without holding the lock.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/evtchn.c:
sys/dev/xen/evtchn/evtchn.c:
sys/xen/xen_intr.h:
o Implement the bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler API for HVM mode.
This allows an HVM domain to serve back end devices to other domains.
This API is already implemented for PV mode.

o Synchronize the API between HVM and PV.

sys/dev/xen/xenpci/xenpci.c:
o Scan the full region of CPUID space in which the Xen VMM interface
may be implemented. On systems using SuSE as a Dom0 where the
Viridian API is also exported, the VMM interface is above the region
we used to search.

o Pass through bus_alloc_resource() calls so that XenBus drivers
attaching on an HVM system can allocate unused physical address
space from the nexus. The block back driver makes use of this
facility.

sys/i386/xen/xen_machdep.c:
Use the correct type for accessing the statically mapped xenstore
metadata.

sys/xen/interface/hvm/params.h:
sys/xen/xenstore/xenstore.c:
Move hvm_get_parameter() to the correct global header file instead
of as a private method to the XenStore.

sys/xen/interface/io/protocols.h:
Sync with vendor.

sys/xeninterface/io/ring.h:
Add macro for calculating the number of ring pages needed for an N
deep ring.

To avoid duplication within the macros, create and use the new
__RING_HEADER_SIZE() macro. This macro calculates the size of the
ring book keeping struct (producer/consumer indexes, etc.) that
resides at the head of the ring.

Add the __RING_PAGES() macro which calculates the number of shared
ring pages required to support a ring with the given number of
requests.

These APIs are used to support the multi-page ring version of the
Xen block API.

sys/xeninterface/io/xenbus.h:
Add Comments.

sys/xen/xenbus/...
o Refactor the FreeBSD XenBus support code to allow for both front and
backend device attachments.

o Make use of new config_intr_hook capabilities to allow front and back
devices to be probed/attached in parallel.

o Fix bugs in probe/attach state machine that could cause the system to
hang when confronted with a failure either in the local domain or in
a remote domain to which one of our driver instances is attaching.

o Publish all required state to the XenStore on device detach and
failure. The majority of the missing functionality was for serving
as a back end since the typical "hot-plug" scripts in Dom0 don't
handle the case of cleaning up for a "service domain" that is not
itself.

o Add dynamic sysctl nodes exposing the generic ivars of
XenBus devices.

o Add doxygen style comments to the majority of the code.

o Cleanup types, formatting, etc.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb.c:
Common code used by both front and back XenBus busses.

sys/xen/xenbus/xenbusb_if.m:
