Subject: [PATCH] Fix pvops Xen detection for arm
machine
Message-ID: <20211216070949.17668-1-zhengqi.arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Since the xen_start_info on the arm/arm64 platform is static defined:
./arm/xen/enlighten.c:40:static struct start_info _xen_start_info;
./arm/xen/enlighten.c:41:struct start_info *xen_start_info =
&_xen_start_info;
./arm/xen/enlighten.c:42:EXPORT_SYMBOL(xen_start_info);
The above variable is statically defined in the kernel, but the
'xen_vcpu_info' is also a static variable, why does the former not
work on arm machines, but the latter works well? Could you please
explain more details?
[linux]$ grep -nr "xen_vcpu_info" *
arch/arm/xen/enlighten.c:51:static struct vcpu_info __percpu
*xen_vcpu_info;
Hi Lianbo,
The 'xen_vcpu_info' is also a static variable on the arm/arm64 platform,
but different from 'xen_start_info', it is assigned during the
initialization process.
Like the 'xen_start_info' on the x86 platform:
- definition:
struct start_info *xen_start_info;
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(xen_start_info);
- initialization:
startup_xen
--> mov %rsi, xen_start_info
The 'xen_vcpu_info' on the arm/arm64 platform:
- definition:
static struct vcpu_info __percpu *xen_vcpu_info;
- initialization:
xen_guest_init
--> xen_vcpu_info = alloc_percpu(struct vcpu_info);
So I think that it will works well on the arm/arm64 platform. I have
tested it on the arm64 platform(But I can not test it on the arm/arm64
xen machine).
Thanks,
Qi
Thanks,

Thanks.

The is_pvops_xen() in commit 4badc6229c69f5cd9da7eb7bdf400a53ec6db01a
("Fix pvops Xen detection for kernels >= v4.20") always return TRUE.
Then the following error will be reported because p2m_mid_missing
and xen_p2m_addr are not defined:
crash: cannot resolve "p2m_top"
For the arm/arm64 platform, fix it by using xen_vcpu_info instead of
xen_start_info to detect Xen dumps.
