[Purpose of this patch]
As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html
<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>
On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.
I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.
[Patch Description]
Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.
So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
- local_timer_vector
- reschedule_vector
- call_function_vector
- call_function_single_vector
- irq_work_entry_vector
- error_apic_vector
- thermal_apic_vector
- threshold_apic_vector
- spurious_apic_vector
- x86_platform_ipi_vector
Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
- Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
- Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
_set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
- Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
- Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
- Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
- On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
is disabled.
In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

PV on HVM guests map GSIs into event channels. At restore time the
event channels are resumed by restore_pirqs.
Device drivers might try to register the same GSI again through ACPI at
restore time, but the GSI has already been mapped and bound by
restore_pirqs. This patch detects these situations and avoids
mapping the same GSI multiple times.
Without this patch we get:

Event channels exposed to userspace by the evtchn module may be used by
other modules in an asynchronous manner, which requires that reference
counting be used to prevent the event channel from being closed before
the signals are delivered.
The reference count on new event channels defaults to -1 which indicates
the event channel is not referenced outside the kernel; evtchn_get fails
if called on such an event channel. The event channels made visible to
userspace by evtchn have a normal reference count.

In the past (2.6.38) the 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' would allocate
an entry in a Linux IRQ -> {XEN_IRQ, type, event, ..} array. All
of that has been removed in 2.6.39 and the Xen IRQ subsystem uses
an linked list that is populated when the call to
'xen_allocate_irq_gsi' (universally done from any of the xen_bind_*
calls) is done. The 'xen_allocate_pirq_gsi' is a NOP and there is
no need for it anymore so lets remove it.

We need this to find the real Xen PIRQ value for a device
that requests an MSI or MSI-X. In the past we used
'xen_gsi_from_irq' since that function would return
an Xen PIRQ or GSI depending on the provided IRQ. Now that
we have seperated that we need to use the correct
function.

When remapping MSIs into pirqs for PV on HVM guests, qemu is responsible
for doing the actual mapping and unmapping.
We only give qemu the desired pirq number when we ask to do the mapping
the first time, after that we should be reading back the pirq number
from qemu every time we want to re-enable the MSI.
This fixes a bug in xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs that manifests itself when
trying to enable the same MSI for the second time: the old MSI to pirq
mapping is still valid at this point but xen_hvm_setup_msi_irqs would
try to assign a new pirq anyway.
A simple way to reproduce this bug is to assign an MSI capable network
card to a PV on HVM guest, if the user brings down the corresponding
ethernet interface and up again, Linux would fail to enable MSIs on the
device.

In driver/xen/events.c, whether bind_pirq is shareable or not is
determined by desc->action is NULL or not. But in __setup_irq,
startup(irq) is invoked before desc->action is assigned with
new action. So desc->action in startup_irq is always NULL, and
bind_pirq is always not shareable. This results in pt_irq_create_bind
failure when passthrough a device which shares irq to other devices.
This patch doesn't use probing_irq to determine if pirq is shareable
or not, instead set shareable flag in irq_info according to trigger
mode in xen_allocate_pirq. Set level triggered interrupts shareable.
Thus use this flag to set bind_pirq flag accordingly.

A privileged PV Xen domain can get direct access to hardware. In
order for this to be useful, it must be able to get hardware
interrupts.
Being a PV Xen domain, all interrupts are delivered as event channels.
PIRQ event channels are bound to a pirq number and an interrupt
vector. When a IO APIC raises a hardware interrupt on that vector, it
is delivered as an event channel, which we can deliver to the
appropriate device driver(s).
This patch simply implements the infrastructure for dealing with pirq
event channels.

The callback vector is a newer alternative that allow us to receive

a vector exclusively to receive events, in the vector handler we don't
need to interact with the vlapic, therefore we avoid a VMEXIT.

The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
spinlock.
This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
efficient.
The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
lock byte. The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
they have the lock. If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
until the lock is positive again.
When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
to get the lock. If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
event channel.
When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on. It picks
one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.
This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
contended lock.
[*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
Spinning Around". Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
paths will only be entered 2% of the time.

This patch implements Xen save/restore and migration.
Saving is triggered via xenbus, which is polled in
drivers/xen/manage.c. When a suspend request comes in, the kernel
prepares itself for saving by:
1 - Freeze all processes. This is primarily to prevent any
partially-completed pagetable updates from confusing the suspend
process. If CONFIG_PREEMPT isn't defined, then this isn't necessary.
2 - Suspend xenbus and other devices
3 - Stop_machine, to make sure all the other vcpus are quiescent. The
Xen tools require the domain to run its save off vcpu0.
4 - Within the stop_machine state, it pins any unpinned pgds (under
construction or destruction), performs canonicalizes various other
pieces of state (mostly converting mfns to pfns), and finally
5 - Suspend the domain
Restore reverses the steps used to save the domain, ending when all
the frozen processes are thawed.

This is a fairly straightforward Xen implementation of smp_ops.
Xen has its own IPI mechanisms, and has no dependency on any
APIC-based IPI. The smp_ops hooks and the flush_tlb_others pv_op
allow a Xen guest to avoid all APIC code in arch/i386 (the only apic
operation is a single apic_read for the apic version number).
One subtle point which needs to be addressed is unpinning pagetables
when another cpu may have a lazy tlb reference to the pagetable. Xen
will not allow an in-use pagetable to be unpinned, so we must find any
other cpus with a reference to the pagetable and get them to shoot
down their references.

Xen implements interrupts in terms of event channels. Each guest
domain gets 1024 event channels which can be used for a variety of
purposes, such as Xen timer events, inter-domain events,
inter-processor events (IPI) or for real hardware IRQs.
Within the kernel, we map the event channels to IRQs, and implement
the whole interrupt handling using a Xen irq_chip.
Rather than setting NR_IRQ to 1024 under PARAVIRT in order to
accomodate Xen, we create a dynamic mapping between event channels and
IRQs. Ideally, Linux will eventually move towards dynamically
allocating per-irq structures, and we can use a 1:1 mapping between
event channels and irqs.
