2011-11-22xen/granttable: Introducing grant table V2 stuctureGravatar Annie Li 1-5/+162
This patch introduces new structures of grant table V2, grant table V2 is an extension from V1. Grant table is shared between guest and Xen, and Xen is responsible to do corresponding work for grant operations, such as: figure out guest's grant table version, perform different actions based on different grant table version, etc. Although full-page structure of V2 is different from V1, it play the same role as V1.

2010-07-22xen: Xen PCI platform device driver.Gravatar Stefano Stabellini 1-0/+1
Add the xen pci platform device driver that is responsible for initializing the grant table and xenbus in PV on HVM mode. Few changes to xenbus and grant table are necessary to allow the delayed initialization in HVM mode. Grant table needs few additional modifications to work in HVM mode. The Xen PCI platform device raises an irq every time an event has been delivered to us. However these interrupts are only delivered to vcpu 0. The Xen PCI platform interrupt handler calls xen_hvm_evtchn_do_upcall that is a little wrapper around __xen_evtchn_do_upcall, the traditional Xen upcall handler, the very same used with traditional PV guests. When running on HVM the event channel upcall is never called while in progress because it is a normal Linux irq handler (and we cannot switch the irq chip wholesale to the Xen PV ones as we are running QEMU and might have passed in PCI devices), therefore we cannot be sure that evtchn_upcall_pending is 0 when returning. For this reason if evtchn_upcall_pending is set by Xen we need to loop again on the event channels set pending otherwise we might loose some event channel deliveries.

2008-04-24xen: add missing definitions for xen grant table which ia64/xen needsGravatar Isaku Yamahata 1-3/+8
Add xen handles realted definitions for grant table which ia64/xen needs. Pointer argumsnts for ia64/xen hypercall are passed in pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that it is required to convert guest kernel virtual address into pseudo physical address right before issuing hypercall. The xen guest handle represents such arguments. Define necessary handles and helper functions.

2007-07-18xen: Add grant table supportGravatar Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1-10/+84
Add Xen 'grant table' driver which allows granting of access to selected local memory pages by other virtual machines and, symmetrically, the mapping of remote memory pages which other virtual machines have granted access to. This driver is a prerequisite for many of the Xen virtual device drivers, which grant the 'device driver domain' restricted and temporary access to only those memory pages that are currently involved in I/O operations.

2007-07-18xen: Add Xen interface header filesGravatar Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1-0/+301
Add Xen interface header files. These are taken fairly directly from the Xen tree, but somewhat rearranged to suit the kernel's conventions. Define macros and inline functions for doing hypercalls into the hypervisor.
