PATCH 1/1 P2M various fixes

This patch series brings about a number of fixes to the p2m code in anticipation of synchonizing lookups. Specifically:
- Four bug fixes on shadow domctls, setting shared p2m entries, and splitting 1GB PoD superpages
- Rework the p2m audit code. Today it does neither compile nor apply to ept, so make it compile and move it out of the way for most callers, which obviously don't care.

PATCH 1/1 The PoD code may split a 1GB superpage in a potentially unlocked way

 xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m-pod.c |  1 -
 xen/arch/x86/mm/p2m-pt.c  |  9 ++++++---
 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)

The path p2m-lookup -> p2m-pt->get_entry -> 1GB PoD superpage -> pod_demand_populate ends in the pod code performing a p2m_set_entry with no locks held (in order to split the 1GB superpage into 512 2MB ones)

Further, it calls p2m_unlock after that, which will break the spinlock.

This patch attempts to fix that.

When updating a p2m mapping to shared, previous code unconditionally set the m2p entry for the old mfn to invalid. We now check that the old mfn does not remain shared.

The p2m audit code doesn't even compile, let alone work. It also partially supports ept. Make it:

- compile
- lay groundwork for eventual ept support
- move out of the way of all calls and turn it into a domctl. It's obviously not being used by anybody presently.
- enable it via said domctl

I think you should always put "/* FALLTHRU */" when you're falling through from one case statement to the next. Or just "return 0" for the case above and let the compiler optimize it.

The p2m audit code doesn't even compile, let alone work. It also partially supports ept. Make it:

- compile
- lay groundwork for eventual ept support

This stuff looks good (haven't reviewed it in detail), but...

Quoted 3 lines

- move out of the way of all calls and turn it into a domctl. It's obviously not being used by anybody presently.
- enable it via said domctl

..the idea with having audit_p2m() sprinkled around the code was to help narrow down what bit of code was screwing up the p2m table. I'm not sure switching it to a domctl will really help debugging in the future. How were you envisioning this would be used?

#9 lore raw

Re: [PATCH 5 of 6] Rework stale p2m auditing

Well, clearly that code has bit-rotted considerably and long ago. So whatever purpose it served, no one is in need of it presently.

My intention is to call the p2m audit domctl during runtime. You could turn on sharing, do some sharing operations, and then audit the p2m. The pager could periodically audit via a domctl for debugging purposes. libxl debug builds could audit the p2m before or after xl mem-set. Etc...

More subtly, if we transition to fine-grained p2m locks, auditing the p2m will negate most benefits, and introduce the non-trivial complexity of promoting fine-grained locks.

The p2m audit code doesn't even compile, let alone work. It also partially supports ept. Make it:

- compile
- lay groundwork for eventual ept support

This stuff looks good (haven't reviewed it in detail), but...

Quoted 3 lines

- move out of the way of all calls and turn it into a domctl. It's obviously not being used by anybody presently.
- enable it via said domctl

..the idea with having audit_p2m() sprinkled around the code was to help narrow down what bit of code was screwing up the p2m table. I'm not sure switching it to a domctl will really help debugging in the future. How were you envisioning this would be used?

Re: [PATCH 1 of 6] The PoD code may split a 1GB superpage in a potentially unlocked way

The path p2m-lookup -> p2m-pt->get_entry -> 1GB PoD superpage -> pod_demand_populate ends in the pod code performing a p2m_set_entry with no locks held (in order to split the 1GB superpage into 512 2MB ones)

Further, it calls p2m_unlock after that, which will break the spinlock.

Yeah, not sure how this got to be the way it did... good catch.

Re: [PATCH 5 of 6] Rework stale p2m auditing

In reply to Andres Lagar-Cavilla
Quoted 8 lines · Andres Lagar-Cavilla

The p2m audit code doesn't even compile, let alone work. It also partially supports ept. Make it:

- compile
- lay groundwork for eventual ept support
- move out of the way of all calls and turn it into a domctl. It's obviously not being used by anybody presently.
- enable it via said domctl

Thanks for looking at this code (which, as you say, had considerably rotted).

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of provoking audits from user-space rather than having them run on every operation; in previous incarnations there have been serial debug-keys that triggered auditing code (which would then be run before and after every operation) - I found that much more helpful in the case of failure, as it pointed to which operation had caused the problem rather than saying 'something bad happened at somne point'.

If you really want to keep the hypercall, I think it could probably be part of the existing paging/shadow control domctl rather than having its own. That would have the advantage of preventing an untrusted domain from calling it on itself (which has in the past turned slightly bitrotted audit code into a denial-of-service vector!).

Cheers,

Tim.

Hi,

Quoted 9 lines · Andres Lagar-Cavilla

This patch series brings about a number of fixes to the p2m code in anticipation of synchonizing lookups. Specifically:
- Four bug fixes on shadow domctls, setting shared p2m entries, and splitting 1GB PoD superpages
- Rework the p2m audit code. Today it does neither compile nor apply to ept, so make it compile and move it out of the way for most callers, which obviously don't care.

Thanks.
- I've applied 1-3;
- 4 is a tools patch and needs a tools maintainer's ack;
- 5 I commented on separately;
- 6 depends on 5 and is a tools patch.

Cheers,

Tim.

Note that patches 1-3 you just applied were resent yesterday (in identical form). So please ignore patches 1-3 from yesterday's 'MM fixes' series.

Re: [PATCH 5 of 6] Rework stale p2m auditing

In reply to Tim Deegan

Tim,

I don't think we'll ever be able to move out of global p2m locks if we allow these inline audits. In a fine-grained p2m lock case, the code will acquire exclusive rights on a range of the p2m. But then, in order to audit the whole p2m, it will need to promote its exclusive access to the whole p2m, and that's a deadlock trap.

Ultimately, I can submit a patch that fixes the bit rotting and leaves the inlines in place. And if and when the p2m locking becomes fine-grained, we can ifdef into global locking if P2M_AUDIT is nonzero.

It's kinda yucky. And somewhat crippling of the intended debugging purposes of an audit (with fine-grained locks). But it will work and will not put the fine-grained cart before the locking horse.

Thanks
Andres

Hmmm. Fair enough, I guess. As you said, this audit code wan't being any use so your patch is an improvement. :)

I'd still like to see the interface changed, in particular so a domain can't audit itself.
