[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v5] xen PVonHVM: use E820_Reserved area for shared_info
This is a respin of 00e37bdb0113a98408de42db85be002f21dbffd3
("xen PVonHVM: move shared_info to MMIO before kexec").
Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the
new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on
the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into an
E820 reserved memory area.
The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This will
cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a new
kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the pfn
is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to update
the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new kernel.
The toolstack marks the memory area FC000000-FFFFFFFF as reserved in the
E820 map. Within that range newer toolstacks (4.3+) will keep 1MB
starting from FE700000 as reserved for guest use. Older Xen4 toolstacks
will usually not allocate areas up to FE700000, so FE700000 is expected
to work also with older toolstacks.
In Xen3 there is no reserved area at a fixed location. If the guest is
started on such old hosts the shared_info page will be placed in RAM. As
a result kexec can not be used.

v5:
reword subject
handle Xen3, continue to use extend_brk on old hosts
v4:
rebase to 3.7-rc3
v3:
make xen_hvm_init_shared_info static
v2:
add __init to xen_hvm_set_shared_info
