[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 09/15] xen/arm: Introduce alternative runtime patching
Some of the processor erratum will require to modify code sequence.
As those modifications may impact the performance, they should only
be enabled on affected cores. Furthermore, Xen may also want to take
advantage of new hardware features coming up with v8.1 and v8.2.
This patch adds an infrastructure to patch Xen during boot time
depending on the "features" available on the platform.
This code is based on the file arch/arm64/kernel/alternative.c in
Linux 4.6-rc3. Any references to arm64 have been dropped to make the
code as generic as possible.
When Xen is creating the page tables, all the executable sections
(.text and .init.text) will be marked read-only and then enforced by
setting SCTLR.WNX.
Whilst it might be possible to mark those entries read-only after
Xen has been patched, we would need extra care to avoid possible
TLBs conflicts (see D4-1732 in ARM DDI 0487A.i) as all
physical CPUs will be running.
All the physical CPUs have to be brought up before patching Xen because
each cores may have different errata/features which require code
patching. The only way to find them is to probe system registers on
each CPU.
To avoid extra complexity, it is possible to create a temporary
writeable mapping with vmap. This mapping will be used to write the
new instructions.
Lastly, runtime patching is currently not necessary for ARM32. So the
code is only enabled for ARM64.

Changes in v2:
- Use hard tabs in Kconfig
- Update the copyright year
- Update the commit message to explain the extra mapping
