Thread: handle x86_64 xen code/data relocation

Hi all,

Recent version of xen (ex. RHEL5.2, 3.2.0) on the x86_64
moves the physical(machine) address of xen code/data area
after 
the system started up. The start address of this is stored
in
'xen_phys_start'. Thus to get a machine address of a xen
text symbol
from its virtual address, calculate 
"va - __XEN_VIRT_START +  xen_phys_start".

crash and makedumpfile command need the value of
xen_phys_start.
They know the virtual address of 'xen_phys_start' symbol
but
no way to extract the value of xen_phys_start.

I think adding the xen_phys_start value to the CRASHINFO
ElfNote
section at first. (Plan A: patch for xen hypervisor code
attaced)
It is smallest modification necessary over all.

On the other hand there is a opinion that it is better to
upgrade
a user-package than a hypervisor or kernel package.
The xen_phys_start value can be got from /proc/iomem.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    # cat /proc/iomem
    ...
      7e600000-7f5fffff : Hypervisor code and data  *** this
line
    ...
    -------------------------------------------------------
So the kexec-tools can handle it theoretically.

The Plan B is that kexec-tools adds another ElfNote section
which
holds the xen_phys_start value. The attached patch works
well
though I am concern about it is a bit tricky.

Which plan is better ?  Or more good implementation ?
Please comment.

(note that crash and makedumpfile modification is same
degree
for both plan.)

Thanks.
Itsuro Oda

Hi Oda-san,

I think that in terms of simplicity plan A is a clear
winner. That is assuming tha the changes to crash
and makedumpfile are more or less the same for both
plan A and plan B.

However, if there is a reason that it makes sense to
include
the change in kexec-tools and make a fresh release, I'm
happy to do so.

The changes to crash and makedumpfile is almost same
for both plan A and plan B.

Yes, Plan A is simple.
The point under discussion is that the already released 
versions of xen need to apply the fix, and from the view
point
of the users for such versions they may prefer to update 
the kexec-tools rather than the hypervisor.

Thanks.

I am concerned about the changes of the Plan B is little
tricky. 
So I will think that the changes become simpler or more
reasonable.

Thanks.

happy to do so.

I was the one who suggested a user-space alternative, but
reconsidering it,
I also agree that plan A is preferable, primarily for
simplicity's sake in
both kexec-tools (no changes) and in the crash utility (a
couple lines that
have already been added in the latest version).

My original concern was the need to upgrade the hypervisor,
but since that
time, we've put in a workaround for the crash utility to
allow the
xen_phys_start value to be passed in as a command line
argument.
