During bootup Xen supplies us with a P2M array. It sticks
it right after the ramdisk, as can be seen with a 128GB PV guest:
(certain parts removed for clarity):
xc_dom_build_image: called

xc_dom_build_image : virt_alloc_end : 0xffffffffa26e2000
xc_dom_build_image : virt_pgtab_end : 0xffffffffa2800000
So the physical memory and virtual (using __START_KERNEL_map addresses)
layout looks as so:
phys __ka
/------------\ /-------------------\
| 0 | empty | 0xffffffff80000000|
| .. | | .. |
| 16MB | <= kernel starts | 0xffffffff81000000|

| 30MB | <= kernel ends => | 0xffffffff81e43000|
| .. | & ramdisk starts | .. |
| 293MB | <= ramdisk ends=> | 0xffffffff925c7000|
| .. | & P2M starts | .. |
| .. | | .. |
| 549MB | <= P2M ends => | 0xffffffffa25c7000|

| .. | | |
| 550MB | <= PGT end => | 0xffffffffa26e1000|
| .. | boot stack | |
\------------/ \-------------------/
As can be seen, the ramdisk, P2M and pagetables are taking
a bit of __ka addresses space. Which is a problem since the
MODULES_VADDR starts at 0xffffffffa0000000 - and P2M sits
right in there! This results during bootup with the inability to
load modules, with this error:

Since the __va and __ka are 1:1 up to MODULES_VADDR and
cleanup_highmap rids __ka of the ramdisk mapping, what
we want to do is similar - get rid of the P2M in the __ka
address space. There are two ways of fixing this:
1) All P2M lookups instead of using the __ka address would
use the __va address. This means we can safely erase from
__ka space the PMD pointers that point to the PFNs for
P2M array and be OK.
2). Allocate a new array, copy the existing P2M into it,
revector the P2M tree to use that, and return the old
P2M to the memory allocate. This has the advantage that
it sets the stage for using XEN_ELF_NOTE_INIT_P2M
feature. That feature allows us to set the exact virtual
address space we want for the P2M - and allows us to
boot as initial domain on large machines.
So we pick option 2).
This patch only lays the groundwork in the P2M code. The patch
that modifies the MMU is called "xen/mmu: Copy and revector the P2M tree."

This reverts commit 806c312e50 and
commit 59b294403e.
And also documents setup.c and why we want to do it that way, which
is that we tried to make the the memblock_reserve more selective so
that it would be clear what region is reserved. Sadly we ran
in the problem wherein on a 64-bit hypervisor with a 32-bit
initial domain, the pt_base has the cr3 value which is not
neccessarily where the pagetable starts! As Jan put it: "
Actually, the adjustment turns out to be correct: The page
tables for a 32-on-64 dom0 get allocated in the order "first L1",
"first L2", "first L3", so the offset to the page table base is
indeed 2. When reading xen/include/public/xen.h's comment
very strictly, this is not a violation (since there nothing is said
that the first thing in the page table space is pointed to by
pt_base; I admit that this seems to be implied though, namely
do I think that it is implied that the page table space is the
range [pt_base, pt_base + nt_pt_frames), whereas that
range here indeed is [pt_base - 2, pt_base - 2 + nt_pt_frames),
which - without a priori knowledge - the kernel would have
difficulty to figure out)." - so lets just fall back to the
easy way and reserve the whole region.

The explanation is in the comment within the code:
We need to do this because the pages shared by the frontend
(xen-blkfront) can be already locked (lock_page, called by
do_read_cache_page); when the userspace backend tries to use them
with direct_IO, mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the frontend, so
do_blockdev_direct_IO is going to try to lock the same pages
again resulting in a deadlock.
A simplified call graph looks like this:
pygrub QEMU
-----------------------------------------------
do_read_cache_page io_submit
| |
lock_page ext3_direct_IO
|
bio_add_page
|
lock_page
Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily)
a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another
guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding
to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit
in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend.
This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a
side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on
them while they are being shared with the backend.

During early bootup we can't use alloc_page, so to allocate
leaf pages in the P2M we need to use extend_brk. For that
we are utilizing the early_alloc_p2m and early_alloc_p2m_middle

same logic as set_phys_to_machine.

For identity cases we want to call reserve_brk only on the boundary
conditions of the middle P2M (so P2M[x][y][0] = extend_brk). This is
to work around identify regions (PCI spaces, gaps in E820) which are not
aligned on 2MB regions.
However for the case were we want to allocate P2M middle leafs at the
early bootup stage, irregardless of this alignment check we need some
means of doing that. For that we provide the new argument.

If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.
In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.
Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.

We only supported the M2P (and P2M) override only for the
GNTMAP_contains_pte type mappings. Meaning that we grants
operations would "contain the machine address of the PTE to update"
If the flag is unset, then the grant operation is
"contains a host virtual address". The latter case means that
the Hypervisor takes care of updating our page table
(specifically the PTE entry) with the guest's MFN. As such we should
not try to do anything with the PTE. Previous to this patch
we would try to clear the PTE which resulted in Xen hypervisor
being upset with us:
(XEN) mm.c:1066:d0 Attempt to implicitly unmap a granted PTE c0100000ccc59067
(XEN) domain_crash called from mm.c:1067
(XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#3:
(XEN) ----[ Xen-4.0-110228 x86_64 debug=y Not tainted ]----
and crashing us.
This patch allows us to inhibit the PTE clearing in the PV guest
if the GNTMAP_contains_pte is not set.
On the m2p_remove_override path we provide the same parameter.
Sadly in the grant-table driver we do not have a mechanism to
tell m2p_remove_override whether to clear the PTE or not. Since
the grant-table driver is used by user-space, we can safely assume
that it operates only on PTE's. Hence the implementation for
it to work on !GNTMAP_contains_pte returns -EOPNOTSUPP. In the future
we can implement the support for this. It will require some extra
accounting structure to keep track of the page[i], and the flag.

Our P2M tree structure is a three-level. On the leaf nodes
we set the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of the PFN. What this means
is that when one does: pfn_to_mfn(pfn), which is used when creating
PTE entries, you get the real MFN of the hardware. When Xen sets
up a guest it initially populates a array which has descending
(or ascending) MFN values, as so:
idx: 0, 1, 2
[0x290F, 0x290E, 0x290D, ..]
so pfn_to_mfn(2)==0x290D. If you start, restart many guests that list
starts looking quite random.
We graft this structure on our P2M tree structure and stick in
those MFN in the leafs. But for all other leaf entries, or for the top
root, or middle one, for which there is a void entry, we assume it is
"missing". So
pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=INVALID_P2M_ENTRY.
We add the possibility of setting 1-1 mappings on certain regions, so
that:
pfn_to_mfn(0xc0000)=0xc0000
The benefit of this is, that we can assume for non-RAM regions (think
PCI BARs, or ACPI spaces), we can create mappings easily b/c we
get the PFN value to match the MFN.
For this to work efficiently we introduce one new page p2m_identity and
allocate (via reserved_brk) any other pages we need to cover the sides
(1GB or 4MB boundary violations). All entries in p2m_identity are set to
INVALID_P2M_ENTRY type (Xen toolstack only recognizes that and MFNs,
no other fancy value).
On lookup we spot that the entry points to p2m_identity and return the identity
value instead of dereferencing and returning INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. If the entry
points to an allocated page, we just proceed as before and return the PFN.
If the PFN has IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set we unmask that in appropriate functions
(pfn_to_mfn).
The reason for having the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT instead of just returning the
PFN is that we could find ourselves where pfn_to_mfn(pfn)==pfn for a
non-identity pfn. To protect ourselves against we elect to set (and get) the
IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on all identity mapped PFNs.
This simplistic diagram is used to explain the more subtle piece of code.
There is also a digram of the P2M at the end that can help.
Imagine your E820 looking as so:
1GB 2GB
/-------------------+---------\/----\ /----------\ /---+-----\
| System RAM | Sys RAM ||ACPI| | reserved | | Sys RAM |
\-------------------+---------/\----/ \----------/ \---+-----/
^- 1029MB ^- 2001MB
[1029MB = 263424 (0x40500), 2001MB = 512256 (0x7D100), 2048MB = 524288 (0x80000)]
And dom0_mem=max:3GB,1GB is passed in to the guest, meaning memory past 1GB
is actually not present (would have to kick the balloon driver to put it in).
When we are told to set the PFNs for identity mapping (see patch: "xen/setup:
Set identity mapping for non-RAM E820 and E820 gaps.") we pass in the start
of the PFN and the end PFN (263424 and 512256 respectively). The first step is
to reserve_brk a top leaf page if the p2m[1] is missing. The top leaf page
covers 512^2 of page estate (1GB) and in case the start or end PFN is not
aligned on 512^2*PAGE_SIZE (1GB) we loop on aligned 1GB PFNs from start pfn to
end pfn. We reserve_brk top leaf pages if they are missing (means they point
to p2m_mid_missing).
With the E820 example above, 263424 is not 1GB aligned so we allocate a
reserve_brk page which will cover the PFNs estate from 0x40000 to 0x80000.
Each entry in the allocate page is "missing" (points to p2m_missing).
Next stage is to determine if we need to do a more granular boundary check
on the 4MB (or 2MB depending on architecture) off the start and end pfn's.
We check if the start pfn and end pfn violate that boundary check, and if
so reserve_brk a middle (p2m[x][y]) leaf page. This way we have a much finer
granularity of setting which PFNs are missing and which ones are identity.
In our example 263424 and 512256 both fail the check so we reserve_brk two
pages. Populate them with INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (so they both have "missing" values)
and assign them to p2m[1][2] and p2m[1][488] respectively.
At this point we would at minimum reserve_brk one page, but could be up to
three. Each call to set_phys_range_identity has at maximum a three page
cost. If we were to query the P2M at this stage, all those entries from
start PFN through end PFN (so 1029MB -> 2001MB) would return INVALID_P2M_ENTRY
("missing").
The next step is to walk from the start pfn to the end pfn setting
the IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT on each PFN. This is done in 'set_phys_range_identity'.
If we find that the middle leaf is pointing to p2m_missing we can swap it over
to p2m_identity - this way covering 4MB (or 2MB) PFN space. At this point we
do not need to worry about boundary aligment (so no need to reserve_brk a middle
page, figure out which PFNs are "missing" and which ones are identity), as that
has been done earlier. If we find that the middle leaf is not occupied by
p2m_identity or p2m_missing, we dereference that page (which covers
512 PFNs) and set the appropriate PFN with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT. In our example
263424 and 512256 end up there, and we set from p2m[1][2][256->511] and
p2m[1][488][0->256] with IDENTITY_FRAME_BIT set.
All other regions that are void (or not filled) either point to p2m_missing
(considered missing) or have the default value of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (also
considered missing). In our case, p2m[1][2][0->255] and p2m[1][488][257->511]
contain the INVALID_P2M_ENTRY value and are considered "missing."
This is what the p2m ends up looking (for the E820 above) with this
fabulous drawing:
p2m /--------------\
/-----\ | &mfn_list[0],| /-----------------\
| 0 |------>| &mfn_list[1],| /---------------\ | ~0, ~0, .. |

where ~0 is INVALID_P2M_ENTRY. IDENTITY is (PFN | IDENTITY_BIT)

With this patch, we diligently set regions that will be used by the
balloon driver to be INVALID_P2M_ENTRY and under the ownership
of the balloon driver. We are OK using the __set_phys_to_machine
as we do not expect to be allocating any P2M middle or entries pages.
The set_phys_to_machine has the side-effect of potentially allocating
new pages and we do not want that at this stage.
We can do this because xen_build_mfn_list_list will have already
allocated all such pages up to xen_max_p2m_pfn.
We also move the check for auto translated physmap down the
stack so it is present in __set_phys_to_machine.

After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by
commit 58e05027b5
xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree
and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
observed in the dump:
kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.
pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)
Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.

When adding a page to m2p_override we change the p2m of the page so we

When we remove the page from m2p_override we restore the original p2m of
the page and we also restore the old pte of the kernel linear mapping.
