[PATCH 0/2] Remove 32-bit Xen PV guest support

[Juergen Gross]

The long term plan has been to replace Xen PV guests by PVH. The first
victim of that plan are now 32-bit PV guests, as those are used only
rather seldom these days. Xen on x86 requires 64-bit support and with
Grub2 now supporting PVH officially since version 2.04 there is no
need to keep 32-bit PV guest support alive in the Linux kernel.
Additionally Meltdown mitigation is not available in the kernel running
as 32-bit PV guest, so dropping this mode makes sense from security
point of view, too.

  x86/paravirt: remove 32-bit support from PARAVIRT_XXL

[PATCH 1/2] x86/xen: remove 32-bit Xen PV guest support

[Juergen Gross]

Xen is requiring 64-bit machines today. There is no need to carry the
burden of 32-bit PV guest support in the kernel any longer, as new
guests can be either HVM or PVH, or they can use a 64 bit kernel.

Remove the 32-bit Xen PV support from the kernel.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/paravirt: remove 32-bit support from PARAVIRT_XXL

[Juergen Gross]

The last 32-bit user of stuff under CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL is gone.

Remove 32-bit specific parts.

Normally we have a deprecation period for feature removals like this.
You would make the kernel print a warning for some releases, and when
no user complains you can then remove. If a user complains you can't.

As I understand it, the kernel rules do allow changes like this even
if there's a complaint: this is a patch that removes what is
effectively hardware support.  If the maintenance cost exceeds the
value, then removal is fair game.  (Obviously we weight the value to
preserving compatibility quite highly, but in this case, Xen dropped
32-bit hardware support a long time ago.  If the Xen hypervisor says
that 32-bit PV guest support is deprecated, it's deprecated.)

That being said, a warning might not be a bad idea.  What's the
current status of this in upstream Xen?

So personally, I'd prefer to see support stay, but at the end of the day
it is Juergen's choice as the maintainer of the code.

Xen itself has been exclusively 64-bit since Xen 4.3 (released in 2013).

Over time, various features like SMEP/SMAP have been making 32bit PV
guests progressively slower, because ring 1 is supervisor rather than
user.  Things have got even worse with IBRS, to the point at which 32bit
PV guests are starting to run like treacle.

There are no current plans to remove support for 32bit PV guests from
Xen, but it is very much in the category of "you shouldn't be using this
mode any more".

~Andrew

P.S. I don't see 64bit PV guest support going anywhere, because there
are still a number of open performance questions due to the inherent
differences between syscall and vmexit, and the difference EPT/NPT
tables make on cross-domain mappings.

Xen still supports that.

We have asked downstream for their opinion about dropping 32-bit PV
guest support in the kernel about 1 year ago and the common answer was:
no problem, but for users still wanting 32 bit guests we should wait
until PVH support is available in all related products. Grub2 was the
last one missing and as grub2 has released a version with PVH support
I posted this small series now.

Yes, probably a good idea to add that.

Yes, this can be dropped, together with get_kernel_rpl().

Especially on the security front we are unsafe with 32-bit PV Linux.
And making it safe will make it so slow that the needed effort is not
spent very well.
