[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-4.13] xen/arm: mm: Allow generic xen page-tables helpers to be called early



The current implementations of xen_{map, unmap}_table() expect
{map, unmap}_domain_page() to be usable. Those helpers are used to
map/unmap page tables while update Xen page-tables.

Since commit 022387ee1a "xen/arm: mm: Don't open-code Xen PT update in
{set, clear}_fixmap()", setup_fixmap() will make use of the helpers
mentioned above. When booting Xen using GRUB, setup_fixmap() may be used
before map_domain_page() can be called. This will result to data abort:

(XEN) Data Abort Trap. Syndrome=0x5
(XEN) CPU0: Unexpected Trap: Data Abort

[...]

During early boot, the page tables are either statically allocated in
Xen binary or allocated via alloc_boot_pages().

For statically allocated page-tables, they will already be mapped as
part of Xen binary. So we can easily find the virtual address.

For dynamically allocated page-tables, we need to rely
map_domain_page() to be functionally working.

For arm32, the call will be usable much before page can be dynamically
allocated (see setup_pagetables()). For arm64, the call will be usable
after setup_xenheap_mappings().

In both cases, memory are given to the boot allocator afterwards. So we
can rely on map_domain_page() for mapping page tables allocated
dynamically.

The helpers xen_{map, unmap}_table() are now updated to take into
account the case where page-tables are part of Xen binary.

clear}_fixmap()')
