[PATCH v2 0/5] DOMCTL-based guest magic regions allocation for dom0less
Posted by Henry Wang 1 month, 3 weeks ago
An error message can seen from the init-dom0less application on
direct-mapped 1:1 domains:
```
Allocating magic pages
memory.c:238:d0v0 mfn 0x39000 doesn't belong to d1
Error on alloc magic pages
```

This is because populate_physmap() automatically assumes gfn == mfn
for direct mapped domains. This cannot be true for the magic pages
that are allocated later for Dom0less DomUs from the init-dom0less
helper application executed in Dom0. For domain using statically
allocated memory but not 1:1 direct-mapped, similar error "failed to
retrieve a reserved page" can be seen as the reserved memory list
is empty at that time.

This series tries to fix this issue using a DOMCTL-based approach,
because for 1:1 direct-mapped domUs, we need to avoid the RAM regions
and inform the toolstack about the region found by hypervisor for
mapping the magic pages. The first 2 patches are simple clean-ups.
Patch 3 introduced a new DOMCTL to get the guest memory map, currently
only used for the magic page regions. Patch 4 uses the same approach
as finding the extended regions to find the guest magic page regions
for direct-mapped DomUs. Patch 5 makes the init-dom0less application
consume the DOMCTL to avoid hardcoding the guest magic base address.

Henry Wang (5):
  xen/arm: Rename assign_static_memory_11() for consistency
  xen/domain.h: Centrialize is_domain_direct_mapped()
  xen/domctl, tools: Introduce a new domctl to get guest memory map
  xen/arm: Find unallocated spaces for magic pages of direct-mapped domU
  xen/memory, tools: Make init-dom0less consume XEN_DOMCTL_get_mem_map
