[PATCH 8/8] lguest: documentatation and example launcher

[Rusty Russell]

Fairly complete documentation for lguest.  I actually want to get rid
of the "coding" part of lguest.txt and roll it into the code itself,
literary-programming-style.

The launcher utility is also here: I don't have delusions of interface
stability, so it makes sense to have it here as an example, and it's
only 1000 lines.

+Rusty's Remarkably Unreliable Guide to Lguest
+	- or, A Young Coder's Illustrated Hypervisor
+http://lguest.ozlabs.org
+
+Lguest is designed to be a minimal hypervisor for the Linux kernel, for
+Linux developers and users to experiment with virtualization with the
+minimum of complexity.  Nonetheless, it should have sufficient
+features to make it useful for specific tasks, and, of course, you are
+encouraged to fork and enhance it.
+
+Features:
+
+- Kernel module which runs in a normal kernel.
+- Simple I/O model for communication.
+- Simple program to create new guests.
+- Logo contains cute puppies: http://lguest.ozlabs.org
+
+Developer features:
+
+- Fun to hack on.
+- No ABI: being tied to a specific kernel anyway, you can change anything.
+- Many opportunities for improvement or feature implementation.
+
+Running Lguest:
+
+- You will need to configure your kernel with the following options:
+
+  CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=n ("High Memory Support" "64GB")[1]
+  CONFIG_TUN=y/m ("Universal TUN/TAP device driver support")
+  CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y ("Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers")
+  CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y ("Paravirtualization support (EXPERIMENTAL)")
+  CONFIG_LGUEST=y/m ("Linux hypervisor example code")
+
+  and I recommend:
+  CONFIG_HZ=100 ("Timer frequency")[2]
+
+  You must have a machine with a TSC: look for "tsc" in /proc/cpuinfo.
+  It's simple to remove this restriction, but everyone has a TSC these
+  days.
+
+- A tool called "lguest" is available in this directory: type "make"
+  to build it.
+
+- Create or find a root disk image.  There are several useful ones
+  around, such as the xm-test tiny root image at 
+	  http://xm-test.xensource.com/ramdisks/initrd-1.1-i386.img
+
+  For more serious work, I usually use a distribution ISO image and
+  install it under qemu, then make multiple copies:
+
+	  dd if=/dev/zero of=rootfile bs=1M count=2048
+	  qemu -cdrom image.iso -hda rootfile -net user -net nic -boot d
+
+- "modprobe lg" if you built it as a module.
+
+- Run an lguest as root:
+
+      Documentation/lguest/lguest 64m vmlinux --tunnet=192.168.19.1 --block=rootfile root=/dev/lgba
+
+   Explanation:
+    64m: the amount of memory to use.
+
+    vmlinux: the kernel image found in the top of your build directory.  You
+       can also use a standard bzImage.
+
+    --tunnet=192.168.19.1: configures a "tap" device for networking with this
+       IP address.
+
+    --block=rootfile: a file or block device which becomes /dev/lgba
+       inside the guest.
+
+    root=/dev/lgba: this (and anything else on the command line) are
+       kernel boot parameters.
+
+- Configuring networking.  I usually have the host masquerade, using
+  "iptables -t nat -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" and "echo 1 >
+  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward".  In this example, I would configure
+  eth0 inside the guest at 192.168.19.2.
+
+- You can also create an inter-guest network using
+  "--sharenet=<filename>": any two guests using the same file are on
+  the same network.  This file is created if it does not exist.
+
+
+Lguest I/O model:
+
+Lguest uses a simplified DMA model plus shared memory for I/O.  Guests
+can communicate with each other if they share underlying memory
+(usually by the lguest program mmaping the same file), but they can
+use any non-shared memory to communicate with the lguest process.
+
+Guests can register DMA buffers at any physical address using the
+LHCALL_BIND_DMA(physaddr, dmabufs, num<<8|irq) hypercall.  "dmabufs"
+is the physical address of an array of "num" "struct lguest_dma": each
+contains a used_len, and an array of physical addresses and lengths.
+When a transfer occurs, the "used_len" field of one of the buffers
+which has used_len 0 will be set to the length transferred and the irq
+will fire.
+
+Using an irq value of 0 unbinds the dma buffers.
+
+To send DMA, the LHCALL_SEND_DMA(physaddr, dma_physaddr) hypercall is
+used, and the bytes used is written to the used_len field.  This can
+be 0 if noone else has bound a DMA buffer to that address or some
+other error.  DMA buffers bound by the same guest are ignored.
+
+
+Hacking on Lguest:
+
+Lguest uses the paravirt_ops infrastructure to override various
+sensitive operations so Linux can run in ring level 1 (rather
+than 0).  These operations make "hypercalls": traps into a tiny shim
+which is mapped at the top of memory which then switches back to the
+host Linux for servicing.  In fact, any real interrupt and many
+traps cause a switch back to the host, which doesn't even notice that
+it was switched out.  This means that the guest process is scheduled
+like any other process, although it spends most of its time in its own
+special address space.
+
+Here are the parts of the hypervisor at the moment:
+
+hypervisor.S:
+	The assembler shim which is mapped at 0xFFC01000 (-4M+1page)
+	in the host and all the guests.  This is built into a .o file
+	and inserted in the source as a C array: it is simply copied
+	into the mapped memory.
+
+	The shim is entered from the host at switch_to_guest with
+	interrupts off: this saves state and switches page tables,
+	GDT, IDT, TSS and stack, then dives into the guest with an
+	iret.
+
+	There are two ways back to the host: a trap or an external
+	interrupt.  A trap, such as a page fault, goes through
+	return_to_host, which simply switches back and irets to the
+	caller (init.c's lcall), which decides what to do.  For an
+	interrupt we call deliver_to_host, which switches to the host
+	then jumps straight to the host interrupt routine: the
+	interrupt routine will do an "iret" at some stage, which, now
+	we've switched stacks, will return to the caller in init.c.
+
+page_tables.c:
+	We cannot let guests control their own pagetables, since they
+	must not access others' memory and their concept of physical
+	addresses is not related to the real physical addresses: the
+	guest "physical" addresses are in fact virtual addresses in
+	the host's lguest thread.  The process of mapping the two
+	can be fairly complicated.
+
+	We keep up to 4 cached page tables.  When a page is referred
+	to by these guest "shadow" pagetables, we keep a reference to
+	it to prevent the Linux kernel from thinking it is unused and
+	paging it out underneath us.
+	FIXME: it would be much better to have a callback in mm_struct.
+
+	The main work is done in page_in.  First we check the
+	top-level guest page table: if that entry is not present, then
+	it's a real guest fault and we reflect it to the guest.
+	Otherwise, we check the real top level, and allocate a new
+	pagetable page if necessary.  Then we check the next level of
+	the guest page table: if that isn't present, or this was a
+	write and the guest entry is read only, we reflect it to the
+	guest.  Otherwise, we check the guest entry, convert the page
+	number to the actual physical page number, then set it in our
+	page table.  At this point we also update the accessed and
+	dirty bits in the guest.
+
+	So a guest's top-level pagetable starts empty, and over time
+	we fault more pages in.  If the guest switches page tables, we
+	see if it's in out 4-entry cache: if not, we clear the
+	non-kernel section of one of them and use that.  (The kernel
+	page table entries will always be the same in all top levels).
+
+	We have to keep the stack pages for the guest kernel mapped at
+	all times, since we point some traps (particularly system
+	calls) directly into the guest.  If the stack were not mapped
+	we would get a double fault, which means we kill the guest.
+
+	Note that there are three page tables for each guest: the
+	Linux host ones which exist for lguest just like any other
+	process, the actual ones used when we switch to running the
+	guest, and the ones inside the guest which it thinks it's
+	using (and we copy to the actual ones after checking).
+
+hypercalls.c:
+	This is where the guest used int 0x1F to ask the hypervisor
+	for something.  The first hypercall is always
+	LHCALL_LGUEST_INIT, which tells us where the "struct
+	lguest_page" is.  We populate the lguest_page with useful
+	information, and it's also used to indicate virtual interrupts
+	and whether the guest expects interrupts to be disabled.
+
+	Most of these calls are fairly self-explanatory, or covered
+	elsewhere.  Note that LHCALL_CRASH allows a guest to get a
+	message out before any devices are enabled, which can be
+	useful for debugging.
+
+	do_async_hypercalls: a ringbuffer in the lguest page allows
+	the guest to queue hypercalls for later execution.  This is
+	useful for hypercall batching during context switch, and for
+	some bulk I/O.  The return value of the hypercall is
+	discarded, so it doesn't make sense to batch some hypercalls.
+	Note that we always do all these "async" calls before any
+	normal hypercall, which means that any hypercall acts as a
+	flush operation.  The only trick is that an async SEND_DMA
+	hypercall may need to be serviced by the host userspace; the
+	run_guest loop is constructed so that we continue servicing
+	hypercalls when we re-enter the loop after host userspace has
+	done the I/O operation.
+
+	setup_trampoline: this populates a stub for direct traps to
+	the guest.  Using a trampoline page (which sits just below the
+	hypervisor at -4M) ensures that the page is always mapped, and
+	also ensures that we reload the %gs register before entering the
+	kernel (see guest_load_tls).
+
+io.c:
+	lguest provides DMA-style transfer, and buffer registration.
+	The guest can dma send to a particular address, or register a
+	set of DMA buffers at a particular address.  This provides
+	inter-guest I/O (for shared addresses, such as a shared mmap)
+	or I/O out to the userspace process (lguest).
+
+	We currently use the futex infrastructure to see if a given
+	address is shared: if it is, we look for another guest which
+	has registered a DMA buffer at this address and copy the data,
+	then interrupt the recipient.  Otherwise, we notify the guest
+	userspace (which has access to all the guest memory) to handle
+	the transfer.
+
+	TODO: We could flip whole pages between guests at this point
+	if we wanted to, however it seems unlikely to be worthwhile.
+	More optimization could be gained by having servers for certain
+	devices within the host kernel itself, avoiding at
+	least two switches into the lguest binary and back.
+
+core.c:
+	This contains the core of lguest, "run_guest", which
+	continuously lcalls into the switch_to_guest routine until
+	something interesting happens.  In particular, we only return
+	to userspace (ie. "lguest") when a signal occurs or the guest
+	does a SEND_DMA destined for host userspace.
+
+	emulate_insn(): we don't paravirtualize io and out
+	instructions, so we trap and emulate them here.  This is only
+	used when the guest is booting and probing for PCI busses,
+	etc.
+
+	lguest_address_ok(): the guest kernel must not be able to
+	access the lguest binary, otherwise it could break out of
+	its virtualization, so all dereferences must use the
+	lhread_u32/lhwrite_u32/lhread/lhwrite routines which check
+	this.
+
+	reflect_trap(): when we decide that the guest should handle a
+	trap (a page fault, a general protection fault, an FPU fault
+	or a virtual interrupt), we manually push a trap frame onto
+	its stack as it expects it to be.  There are two kinds of
+	traps for x86: interrupt gates expect to have interrupts
+	disabled, and trap gates expect interrupts to be left alone.
+	The guest will restore interrupts in lguest_iret.
+
+	Of course, we don't actually let the guest disable interrupts,
+	just prevent us from delivering interupts to that guest (the
+	flag "irq_enabled" in the lguest_page).
+
+	kill_guest: this is used when an error occurs which can only
+	be caused by the guest kernel.  You can continue as normal
+	after this: the guest will exit when it returns to run_thread.
+
+	fixup_gdt_table: we protect the hypervisor shim from being
+	accessed using segments, so we have to trim segments the guest
+	uses to exclude the hypervisor.  The shim itself uses two
+	segments (only accessible to ring 0) which map the entire
+	memory range, and we use our own TSS entry.
+
+	guest_load_tls: glibc implements __thread using
+	thread-local-storage segments.  These segments start at a
+	different offset for each thread, and cover the entire 4GB
+	address space.  glibc then uses huge offsets into this segment
+	to wrap around and access variables below that offset.
+	Unfortunately, we cannot allow this in general, as this would
+	allow access to the hypervisor shim!  Fortunately, x86 page
+	table entries contain a "user" bit, which when cleared makes
+	pages inaccessible to ring level 3.  We clear this bit for the
+	pagetable entries mapping the hypervisor, so we can allow ring
+	3 (ie. userspace) access to 4G segments.  If the guest is in
+	ring 3, we setup the segment limits at the full 4G just before
+	calling into hypervisor.S.  It will reload %gs, then truncate
+	these TLS segments to a single page.  This ensures that any
+	reload of gs gets the truncated segments.  As the guest
+	userspace will also load %gs itself, we ignore the first
+	protection fault that occurs at any given address in userspace
+	(assuming it's caused by use of the truncated segment).  As
+	all traps reload gs explicitly (trampoline page) or implicitly
+	(reflect_trap), they all must reset the pointer to the
+	last-detected faulting instruction, as they will fault again.
+
+device.c:
+	This contains the host userspace interface code	(ie. /dev/lguest).
+
+	The read and write routines are where the userspace program
+	lguest starts and performs I/O to the guest.  The initial
+	write supplies the number of memory pages, the access limit
+	(which is used to ensure the guest doesn't overwrite the
+	lguest binary which sits above this address), the initial
+	guest pagetable top, and the address to jump into the guest
+	image.  Reading from the file causes the guest to run until a
+	signal or I/O is pending.
+
+lguest_bus.c:
+	A simple bus which sits in the lguest_page and indicates what
+	devices are available.  Using the interrupt model it would be
+	easy to make this dynamic.
+
+drivers/net/lguest_net.c:
+	A simple network device, which (invisible to the guest) can be
+	shared between several guests or simply talk to the lguest
+	process.  There is only one unusual element: the sender
+	needs to find the packet destination.
+
+	We manually scan the shared page for mac addresses to decide
+	where to send a packet.  We overload an unusable bit in that
+	mac address to indicate promiscuous mode (so the sender knows
+	to send a copy of all packets to that recipient).
+
+drivers/char/hvc_lguest.c:
+	A simple console.  It could use a shared page as a ringbuffer
+	and merely use the dma mechanism for notifications, but using
+	DMA directly is less code.
+
+	TODO: The console input can be flooded if it doesn't service
+	fast enough, and will lose characters.  If this is a problem,
+	switch to ringbuffer or use multiple DMA buffers and define an
+	ordering.
+
+drivers/block/lguest_blk.c:
+	A simple block device.  It's actually overkill for the current
+	use: talking to the userspace side is synchronous, but this allows
+	it to be served by something else in future.
+
+arch/i386/kernel/lguest.c:
+	The guest paravirt_ops implementation.  The only complexity is
+	in the implementation of lguest_iret: we need to restore the
+	interrupt state and return from the interrupt atomically.  To
+	this end, we tell the hypervisor that it is not to interrupt
+	us in those instructions between the restoration (usually
+	enabling) of interrupts and the actual "iret".
+
+Cheers!
