[Xen-devel] [PATCH v8] Xen PCI + Xen PCI frontend driver.



This patch set contains the supporting patches and the driver itself for
Xen Paravirtualized (PV) domains to use PCI pass-through devices (the git tree
is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git 
devel/xen-pcifront-0.8).
This patch-set is also utilized in Stefano's PV on HVM MSI/MSI-X patchset [1].

Changelog since v7 [http://lwn.net/Articles/408418/] posting:
 - Added Reviewed-by/Acked-by on some of the patches.
 - Fleshed out comments.
 - Ditched the io_apic.c idea and used Thomas Gleixner idea.

The Xen PCI frontend driver can be used by PV guests on IOMMU hardware
(or IOMMU-less). Without the hardware IOMMU you have a potential security
hole wherein a guest domain can use the hardware to map pages outside its
memory range and slurp pages up. As such, this is more restricted to a
Privileged PV domain, aka - device driver domain (similar to Qubes but a
poor-man mechanism [2]).

The first set of patches are specific to the Xen subsystem, where
we introduce an IRQ chip for Physical IRQs, along with the supporting
harness code:
 xen: Don't disable the I/O space
 xen: define BIOVEC_PHYS_MERGEABLE()
 xen: implement pirq type event channels
 xen: identity map gsi->irqs
 xen: dynamically allocate irq & event structures
 xen: set pirq name to something useful.
 xen: statically initialize cpu_evtchn_mask_p
 xen: Find an unbound irq number in reverse order (high to low).
 xen: Provide a variant of xen_poll_irq with timeout.
 xen: fix shared irq device passthrough

The next set of patches expose functionality for module drivers to be able to
enumerate and iomap (using the _PAGE_IOMAP flag) PCI devices.

 x86/io_apic: add get_nr_irqs_gsi()
 x86/PCI: Clean up pci_cache_line_size
 x86/PCI: make sure _PAGE_IOMAP it set on pci mappings
 x86/PCI: Export pci_walk_bus function.

The next two patches abstract the MSI/MSI-X architecture calls so that the
default native one (used on bare-metal) can be overwritten when running
in virtualized mode (right now on Xen). The implementation is a simple
function pointer structure.

 msi: Introduce default_[teardown|setup]_msi_irqs with fallback.
 x86: Introduce x86_msi_ops

Next, the Xen PCI stub driver. I've put it in the same location
where other sub-platform PCI drivers are. It hooks up to the
PCI legacy IRQ setup ('pcibios_enable_irq'), and MSI/MSI-X
allocation/de-allocation (via the x86_msi_ops introduced in earlier patches).

 xen/x86/PCI: Add support for the Xen PCI subsystem

Lastly, the Xen PCI front-end driver which is responsible for hooking up
to the PCI configuration read/write methods via the 'pci_scan_bus_parented' 
call.
In essence all pci_conf_read/write in the guest will be tunneled via
pcifront_bus_[read|write] methods. The MSI/MSI-X calls will be handled
by the Xen-PCI front-end driver as well. We also need to add a new
state so updating the XenBus:

 xenbus: Xen paravirtualised PCI hotplug support.
 xenbus: prevent warnings on unhandled enumeration values
 xen-pcifront: Xen PCI frontend driver.

The last three are two bug fixes and updating the MAINTAINERs file
with my name:

 xen/pci: Request ACS when Xen-SWIOTLB is activated.
 MAINTAINERS: Add myself for Xen PCI and Xen SWIOTLB maintainer.
 swiotlb-xen: On x86-32 builts, select SWIOTLB instead of depending on it.

[3] Some of the authors of the patches have moved on, so their e-mails
are bouncing. I am purposly making the 'From' a valid email so that the patches
do show up on LKML. The git tree contains their proper old email addresses.
