A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to. This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock. The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).

Commit 77e32c89a711 ("clockevents: Manage device's state separately for
the core") decouples clockevent device's modes from states. With this
change when a Xen guest tries to resume, it won't be calling its
set_mode op which needs to be done on each VCPU in order to make the
hypervisor aware that we are in oneshot mode.This happens because clockevents_tick_resume() (which is an intermediate
step of resuming ticks on a processor) doesn't call clockevents_set_state()
anymore and because during suspend clockevent devices on all VCPUs (except
for the one doing the suspend) are left in ONESHOT state. As result, during
resume the clockevents state machine will assume that device is already
where it should be and doesn't need to be updated.To avoid this problem we should suspend ticks on all VCPUs during
suspend.Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky

Originally Xen PV drivers only use single-page ring to pass along
information. This might limit the throughput between frontend and
backend.The patch extends Xenbus driver to support multi-page ring, which in
general should improve throughput if ring is the bottleneck. Changes to
various frontend / backend to adapt to the new interface are also
included.Affected Xen drivers:
* blkfront/back
* netfront/back
* pcifront/back
* scsifront/back
* vtpmfrontThe interface is documented, as before, in xenbus_client.c.

Make the IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 (and older V1 version) map
multiple frames at a time rather than one at a time, despite the pages
being non-consecutive GFNs.xen_remap_foreign_mfn_array() is added which maps an array of GFNs
(instead of a consecutive range of GFNs).Since per-frame errors are returned in an array, privcmd must set the
MMAPBATCH_V1 error bits as part of the "report errors" phase, after
all the frames are mapped.Migrate times are significantly improved (when using a PV toolstack
domain). For example, for an idle 12 GiB PV guest:Before After

Hypercalls submitted by user space tools via the privcmd driver can
take a long time (potentially many 10s of seconds) if the hypercall
has many sub-operations.A fully preemptible kernel may deschedule such as task in any upcall
called from a hypercall continuation.However, in a kernel with voluntary or no preemption, hypercall
continuations in Xen allow event handlers to be run but the task
issuing the hypercall will not be descheduled until the hypercall is
complete and the ioctl returns to user space. These long running
tasks may also trigger the kernel's soft lockup detection.Add xen_preemptible_hcall_begin() and xen_preemptible_hcall_end() to
bracket hypercalls that may be preempted. Use these in the privcmd
driver.When returning from an upcall, call xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() which
adds a schedule point if if the current task was within a preemptible
hypercall.Since _cond_resched() can move the task to a different CPU, clear and
set xen_in_preemptible_hcall around the call.Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

In an x86 PV guest, get_user_pages_fast() on a userspace address range
containing foreign mappings does not work correctly because the M2P
lookup of the MFN from a userspace PTE may return the wrong page.Force get_user_pages_fast() to fail on such addresses by marking the PTEs
as special.If Xen has XENFEAT_gnttab_map_avail_bits (available since at least
4.0), we can do so efficiently in the grant map hypercall. Otherwise,
it needs to be done afterwards. This is both inefficient and racy
(the mapping is visible to the task before we fixup the PTEs), but
will be fine for well-behaved applications that do not use the mapping
until after the mmap() system call returns.Guests with XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap (ARM and x86 HVM or PVH)
do not need this since get_user_pages() has always worked correctly
for them.Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

Introduce gnttab_unmap_refs_async() that can be used to safely unmap
pages that may be in use (ref count > 1). If the pages are in use the
unmap is deferred and retried later. This polling is not very clever
but it should be good enough if the cases where the delay is necessary
are rare.The initial delay is 5 ms and is increased linearly on each subsequent
retry (to reduce load if the page is in use for a long time).This is needed to allow block backends using grant mapping to safely
use network storage (block or filesystem based such as iSCSI or NFS).The network storage driver may complete a block request whilst there
is a queued network packet retry (because the ack from the remote end
races with deciding to queue the retry). The pages for the retried
packet would be grant unmapped and the network driver (or hardware)
would access the unmapped page.Signed-off-by: Jennifer Herbert

Using the native code here can't work properly, as the hypervisor would
normally have cleared the two reason bits by the time Dom0 gets to see
the NMI (if passed to it at all). There's a shared info field for this,
and there's an existing hook to use - just fit the two together. This
is particularly relevant so that NMIs intended to be handled by APEI /
GHES actually make it to the respective handler.Note that the hook can (and should) be used irrespective of whether
being in Dom0, as accessing port 0x61 in a DomU would be even worse,
while the shared info field would just hold zero all the time. Note
further that hardware NMI handling for PVH doesn't currently work
anyway due to missing code in the hypervisor (but it is expected to
work the native rather than the PV way).Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

This patch enables EFI usage under Xen dom0. Standard EFI Linux
Kernel infrastructure cannot be used because it requires direct
access to EFI data and code. However, in dom0 case it is not possible
because above mentioned EFI stuff is fully owned and controlled
by Xen hypervisor. In this case all calls from dom0 to EFI must
be requested via special hypercall which in turn executes relevant
EFI code in behalf of dom0.When dom0 kernel boots it checks for EFI availability on a machine.
If it is detected then artificial EFI system table is filled.
Native EFI callas are replaced by functions which mimics them
by calling relevant hypercall. Later pointer to EFI system table
is passed to standard EFI machinery and it continues EFI subsystem
initialization taking into account that there is no direct access
to EFI boot services, runtime, tables, structures, etc. After that
system runs as usual.This patch is based on Jan Beulich and Tang Liang work.

New architectures currently have to provide implementations of 5 different
functions: xen_arch_pre_suspend(), xen_arch_post_suspend(),
xen_arch_hvm_post_suspend(), xen_mm_pin_all(), and xen_mm_unpin_all().Refactor the suspend code to only require xen_arch_pre_suspend() and
xen_arch_post_suspend().Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

As part of this make the usual change to xen_ulong_t in place of unsigned long.
This change has no impact on x86.The Linux definition of struct multicall_entry.result differs from the Xen
definition, I think for good reasons, and used a long rather than an unsigned
long. Therefore introduce a xen_long_t, which is a long on x86 architectures
and a signed 64-bit integer on ARM.Use uint32_t nr_calls on x86 for consistency with the ARM definition.
Build tested on amd64 and i386 builds. Runtime tested on ARM.
