[Xen-devel] [LINUX PATCH 2/2] xen/pvhvm: Support more than 32 VCPUs when migrating.

[konrad@xxxxxxxxxx]

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>

When Xen migrates an HVM guest, by default its shared_info can
only hold up to 32 CPUs. As such the hypercall
VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info was introduced which allowed us to
setup per-page areas for VCPUs. This means we can boot PVHVM
guest with more than 32 VCPUs. During migration the per-cpu
structure is allocated freshly by the hypervisor (vcpu_info_mfn
is set to INVALID_MFN) so that the newly migrated guest
can make an VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info hypercall.

Unfortunatly we end up triggering this condition in Xen:
/* Run this command on yourself or on other offline VCPUS. */
 if ( (v != current) && !test_bit(_VPF_down, &v->pause_flags) )

which means we are unable to setup the per-cpu VCPU structures
for running vCPUS. The Linux PV code paths make this work by
iterating over every vCPU with:

 1) is target CPU up (VCPUOP_is_up hypercall?)
 2) if yes, then VCPUOP_down to pause it.
 3) VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info
 4) if it was down, then VCPUOP_up to bring it back up

But since VCPUOP_down, VCPUOP_is_up, and VCPUOP_up are
not allowed on HVM guests we can't do this. However with the
Xen commit "hvm: Support more than 32 VCPUS when migrating."
we can do this. As such first check if VCPUOP_is_up is actually
possible before trying this dance.

As most of this dance code is done already in 'xen_setup_vcpu'
lets make it callable on both PV and HVM. This means moving one
of the checks out to 'xen_setup_runstate_info'.
