Detailed Description

Public interface for libaddrxlat (address translation library).

Macro Definition Documentation

ADDRXLAT_FIELDS_MAX

#define ADDRXLAT_FIELDS_MAX   8

Maximum number of bit fields in the source address.

This is a theoretical limit, with enough reserve for future enhancements. Currently, IBM z/Architecture has up to 5-level paging (i.e. up to 6 fields in the virtual address), but only 4 are used by the Linux kernel. All other architectures have less paging levels.

ADDRXLAT_VER_LINUX

#define ADDRXLAT_VER_LINUX	(		a,
			b,
			c
	)		(((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

Linux kernel version code.

This macro can be used to convert a three-part Linux kernel version to a single number for use as @xref ADDRXLAT_OPT_version_code.

ADDRXLAT_VER_XEN

#define ADDRXLAT_VER_XEN	(		major,
			minor
	)		(((major) << 16) | (minor))

Xen version code.

This macro can be used to convert a Xen major/minor version pair to a single number for use as @xref ADDRXLAT_OPT_version_code.

ADDRXLAT_VERSION

#define ADDRXLAT_VERSION

Value:

        ADDRXLAT_MKVER(                 \
                ADDRXLAT_VER_MAJOR,     \
                ADDRXLAT_VER_MINOR,     \
                ADDRXLAT_VER_MICRO)

Version as a single number.

Typedef Documentation

addrxlat_addr_t

typedef uint_fast64_t addrxlat_addr_t

Type of a physical or virtual address.

This type is large enough to hold any possible address type on any architecture supported by libaddrxlat. Note that this type may be larger than the actual address in the target.

addrxlat_addrspace_t

typedef enum _addrxlat_addrspace addrxlat_addrspace_t

Address spaces.

This type is used to specify the kind of address.

The difference between ADDRXLAT_KPHYSADDR and ADDRXLAT_MACHPHYSADDR matters only in environments where the kernel has a different view of physical address space than the CPU, e.g. paravirtualized kernels under Xen.

addrxlat_byte_order_t

typedef enum _addrxlat_byte_order addrxlat_byte_order_t

Data byte order.

Byte order of the raw data returned by callbacks.

addrxlat_cb_num_value_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_cb_num_value_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, const char *name, addrxlat_addr_t *val)

Type of the number value callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.
name[in]	Name of the numeric parameter.
val[out]	Parameter value.

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_cb_reg_value_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_cb_reg_value_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, const char *name, addrxlat_addr_t *val)

Type of the register value callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.
name[in]	Register name.
val[out]	Register value.

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_cb_sym_offsetof_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_cb_sym_offsetof_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, const char *obj, const char *elem, addrxlat_addr_t *val)

Type of the element offset callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.
obj[in]	Name of the container object (e.g. of a struct).
elem[in]	Name of the element (e.g. a structure field).
val[out]	Offset of elem within obj, offsetof(obj, elem).

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_cb_sym_sizeof_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_cb_sym_sizeof_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, const char *name, addrxlat_addr_t *val)

Type of the symbol size callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.
name[in]	Name of a symbol or data type.
val[out]	Symbol size, sizeof(name).

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_cb_sym_value_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_cb_sym_value_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, const char *name, addrxlat_addr_t *val)

Type of the symbol value callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.
name[in]	Symbol name.
val[out]	Symbol value (e.g. address of a variable).

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_first_step_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_first_step_fn(addrxlat_step_t *step, addrxlat_addr_t addr)

Type of function to initialize the first translation step.

Parameters

step	Partially initialized step state.
addr	Address to be translated.

Returns

Error status.

Only the context fields (ctx, sys and meth) are set by the caller. The state fields are uninitialized.

addrxlat_get_page_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_get_page_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb, addrxlat_buffer_t *buf)

Type of the get-page callback.

Parameters

	cb	This callback definition.
[in,out]	buf	Page buffer metadata.

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_lookup_elem_t

typedef struct _addrxlat_lookup_elem addrxlat_lookup_elem_t

Lookup table element.

This defines address mapping for a single object. Addresses inside the object are mapped linearly using an offset.

addrxlat_next_step_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_next_step_fn(addrxlat_step_t *step)

Type of function to make one translation step.

Parameters

step	Current step state.

Returns

Error status.

This function is called repeatedly with a non-zero step->remain.

Note that page offset is automatically added by addrxlat_step when step->remain is 1. The callback function is never called to do this final step.

The callback function is explicitly allowed to modify step->remain and/or the indices in step->idx[]. This is needed if some levels of paging are skipped (huge pages).

addrxlat_off_t

typedef int_fast64_t addrxlat_off_t

Type of an address offset.

This type is as large as addrxlat_addr_t, but it is signed, so suitable for offsets, both positive and negative.

addrxlat_op_fn

typedef addrxlat_status addrxlat_op_fn(void *data, const addrxlat_fulladdr_t *addr)

Type of the addrxlat_op callback.

Parameters

	data	Arbitrary user-supplied data.
[in]	addr	Translated address.

Returns

Error status.

addrxlat_pte_t

typedef uint_fast64_t addrxlat_pte_t

Type for a PTE value.

Use this type to work with PTE values. Note that this type may be bigger than the actual PTE on a given architecture and always uses host byte order, so variables of this type are not suitable for use as a buffer.

addrxlat_put_page_fn

typedef void addrxlat_put_page_fn(const addrxlat_buffer_t *buf)

Type of the put-page callback.

Parameters

[in]

buf

Page buffer metadata.

addrxlat_read_caps_fn

typedef unsigned long addrxlat_read_caps_fn(const addrxlat_cb_t *cb)

Type of the read capabilities callback.

Parameters

cb	This callback definition.

Returns

Read capabilities bit mask.

The return value is a bit mask of address spaces that can be read directly by the read callbacks. Bits are enumerated by addrxlat_addrspace_t (least significant bit first).

See also

ADDRXLAT_CAPS

addrxlat_status

typedef enum _addrxlat_status addrxlat_status

Status code.

Positive codes are reserved for future library enhancements. Negative status codes may be used for custom use.

addrxlat_sys_map_t

typedef enum _addrxlat_sys_map addrxlat_sys_map_t

Translation system map index.

The OS map object contains several translation maps to allow translation between different address spaces. They can be manipulated directly using addrxlat_sys_set_map and addrxlat_sys_get_map using one of these indices.

addrxlat_sys_meth_t

typedef enum _addrxlat_sys_meth addrxlat_sys_meth_t

Translation system method index.

A translation system uses a number of translation methods to do its job. Any of them can be obtained with addrxlat_sys_get_meth or overridden with addrxlat_sys_set_meth using one of these indices.

addrxlat_sys_t

typedef struct _addrxlat_sys addrxlat_sys_t

Address translations system.

In addition to a addrxlat_map_t, this structure also contains any OS-specific data.

_addrxlat_status

enum _addrxlat_status

Status code.

Positive codes are reserved for future library enhancements. Negative status codes may be used for custom use.

Enumerator
ADDRXLAT_OK	Success.
ADDRXLAT_ERR_NOTIMPL	Unimplemented feature.
ADDRXLAT_ERR_NOTPRESENT	Page not present.
ADDRXLAT_ERR_INVALID	Invalid address.
ADDRXLAT_ERR_NOMEM	Memory allocation failure.

_addrxlat_sys_map

enum _addrxlat_sys_map

Translation system map index.

The OS map object contains several translation maps to allow translation between different address spaces. They can be manipulated directly using addrxlat_sys_set_map and addrxlat_sys_get_map using one of these indices.

Enumerator
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_HW	Map virtual addresses using same method as hardware. Unlike ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_KV_PHYS, translations in this map will always walk the hardware page table. This is mostly useful for implementing a verbose vtop command. It may be also used if translation using ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_KV_PHYS results in the wrong physical address space and further translation is unavailable or too expensive. Note: This map may be incomplete (or not available) even if the virtual address can be in fact translated. For example, with IBM Power ISA with hashed page tables, only a fraction the address space is usually mapped.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_KV_PHYS	Map kernel virtual addresses to physical addresses. This translation accepts ADDRXLAT_KVADDR on input and translates it to a physical address. This is either ADDRXLAT_KPHYSADDR or ADDRXLAT_MACHPHYSADDR, whichever is more efficient.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_KPHYS_DIRECT	Map kernel physical addresses to a direct-mapped virtual address.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_MACHPHYS_KPHYS	Map machine physical addresses to kernel physical addresses.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_KPHYS_MACHPHYS	Map kernel physical addresses to machine physical addresses.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_MAP_NUM	Total number of indices.

_addrxlat_sys_meth

enum _addrxlat_sys_meth

Translation system method index.

A translation system uses a number of translation methods to do its job. Any of them can be obtained with addrxlat_sys_get_meth or overridden with addrxlat_sys_set_meth using one of these indices.

Enumerator
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_NONE	No method.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_PGT	Kernel-space page table.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_UPGT	User-space page table.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_DIRECT	Direct mapping.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_KTEXT	Kernel text mapping.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_VMEMMAP	Fixed VMEMMAP (on IBM POWER).
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_RDIRECT	Reverse direct mapping.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_MACHPHYS_KPHYS	Default machine physical to kernel physical mapping.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_KPHYS_MACHPHYS	Default kernel physical to machine physical mapping.
ADDRXLAT_SYS_METH_CUSTOM	First custom method.

Get the (string) name of an address space.

Parameters

as	Address space.

Returns

The (human-readable) name of the address space.

addrxlat_ctx_add_cb()

addrxlat_cb_t* addrxlat_ctx_add_cb

(

addrxlat_ctx_t *

ctx

)

Add a callback implementation.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.

Returns

New callback settings, or NULL on allocation error.

The caller should override the callback settings in the returned structure as necessary. Callbacks that are not modified will use the previously installed implementation.

addrxlat_ctx_clear_err()

addrxlat_status void addrxlat_ctx_clear_err

(

addrxlat_ctx_t *

ctx

)

Clear the error message.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.

addrxlat_ctx_decref()

unsigned long addrxlat_ctx_decref

(

addrxlat_ctx_t *

ctx

)

Decrement the reference counter.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.

Returns

New reference count.

If the new reference count is zero, the underlying object is freed and its address must not be used afterwards.

		addrxlat_cb_t *	cb
	)

Remove a callback implementation.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.
cb	Callback settings previously returned by addrxlat_ctx_add_cb.

The cb parameter is invalid and must not be used after calling this function. It is an error to call this function twice on the same value. It is also an error to pass a pointer that was not obtained by calling addrxlat_ctx_add_cb.

addrxlat_ctx_err()

addrxlat_status addrxlat_ctx_err	(	addrxlat_ctx_t *	ctx,

	)

Prepend an error message.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.
status	Error status.
msgfmt	Message format string (printf style).

Returns

The error status which was passed as argument.

This function prepends the new error message to the existing content of the error buffer, resulting in a kind of error backtrace.

const addrxlat_cb_t* addrxlat_ctx_get_cb

(

const addrxlat_ctx_t *

ctx

)

Get the callback information.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.

Returns

Pointer to the current callback settings.

The return value is const to indicate that it should not be modified by the caller, but the value can be modified non-atomically by another caller who obtained the pointer through addrxlat_ctx_add_cb.

const char* addrxlat_ctx_get_err

(

const addrxlat_ctx_t *

ctx

)

Get a detailed error string.

Parameters

ctx	Address translation context.

Returns

Last error string.

If an error status is returned, this function can be used to get a human-readable description of the error. The error string is not reset by calling this function, but it is reset by calling any library function that returns addrxlat_status.
