Virtio guests send VIRTIO_MMIO_QUEUE_NOTIFY notification when they need
to notify the backend of an update to the status of the virtqueue. The
backend or another entity, polls the MMIO address for updates to know
when the notification is sent.
It works well if the backend does this polling by itself. But as we move
towards generic backend implementations, we end up implementing this in
a separate user-space program.
Generally, the Virtio backends are implemented to work with the Eventfd
based mechanism. In order to make such backends work with Xen, another
software layer needs to do the polling and send an event via eventfd to
the backend once the notification from guest is received. This results
in an extra context switch.
This is not a new problem in Linux though. It is present with other
hypervisors like KVM, etc. as well. The generic solution implemented in
the kernel for them is to provide an IOCTL call to pass the address to
poll and eventfd, which lets the kernel take care of polling and raise
an event on the eventfd, instead of handling this in user space (which
involves an extra context switch).
This patch adds similar support for xen.
Inspired by existing implementations for KVM, etc..
This also copies ioreq.h header file (only struct ioreq and related
macros) from Xen's source tree (Top commit 5d84f07fe6bf ("xen/pci: drop
remaining uses of bool_t")).

Commit fa1f57421e ("xen/virtio: Enable restricted memory access using
Xen grant mappings") introduced a new requirement for using virtio
devices: the backend now needs to support the VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
feature.
This is an undue requirement for non-PV guests, as those can be operated
with existing backends without any problem, as long as those backends
are running in dom0.
Per default allow virtio devices without grant support for non-PV
guests.
On Arm require VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM for devices having been listed
in the device tree to use grants.
Add a new config item to always force use of grants for virtio.

In order to reuse generic IOMMU device tree bindings by Xen grant
DMA-mapping layer we need to add this stub driver from a fw_devlink
perspective (grant-dma-ops cannot be converted into the proper
IOMMU driver).
Otherwise, just reusing IOMMU bindings (without having a corresponding
driver) leads to the deferred probe timeout afterwards, because
the IOMMU device never becomes available.
This stub driver does nothing except registering empty iommu_ops,
the upper layer "of_iommu" will treat this as NO_IOMMU condition
and won't return -EPROBE_DEFER.
As this driver is quite different from the most hardware IOMMU
implementations and only needed in Xen guests, place it in drivers/xen

This patch implements arch_xen_unpopulated_init() on Arm where
the extended regions (if any) are gathered from DT and inserted
into specific Xen resource to be used as unused address space
for Xen scratch pages by unpopulated-alloc code.
The extended region (safe range) is a region of guest physical
address space which is unused and could be safely used to create
grant/foreign mappings instead of wasting real RAM pages from
the domain memory for establishing these mappings.
The extended regions are chosen by the hypervisor at the domain
creation time and advertised to it via "reg" property under
hypervisor node in the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved
for grant table space (always present), the indexes for extended
regions are 1...N.
If arch_xen_unpopulated_init() fails for some reason the default
behaviour will be restored (allocate xenballooned pages).
This patch also removes XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC dependency on x86.

Xen-pciback driver was designed to be built for x86 only. But it
can also be used by other architectures, e.g. Arm.
Currently PCI backend implements multiple functionalities at a time,
such as:
1. It is used as a database for assignable PCI devices, e.g. xl
pci-assignable-{add|remove|list} manipulates that list. So, whenever
the toolstack needs to know which PCI devices can be passed through
it reads that from the relevant sysfs entries of the pciback.
2. It is used to hold the unbound PCI devices list, e.g. when passing
through a PCI device it needs to be unbound from the relevant device
driver and bound to pciback (strictly speaking it is not required
that the device is bound to pciback, but pciback is again used as a
database of the passed through PCI devices, so we can re-bind the
devices back to their original drivers when guest domain shuts down)
3. Device reset for the devices being passed through
4. Para-virtualised use-cases support
The para-virtualised part of the driver is not always needed as some
architectures, e.g. Arm or x86 PVH Dom0, are not using backend-frontend
model for PCI device passthrough.
For such use-cases make the very first step in splitting the
xen-pciback driver into two parts: Xen PCI stub and PCI PV backend
drivers.
For that add new configuration options CONFIG_XEN_PCI_STUB and
CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_STUB, so the driver can be limited in its
functionality, e.g. no support for para-virtualised scenario.
x86 platform will continue using CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND for the
fully featured backend driver.

Decouple XEN_DOM0 from XEN_PV, converting some existing uses of XEN_DOM0
to a new XEN_PV_DOM0. (I'm not convinced all are really / should really
be PV-specific, but for starters I've tried to be conservative.)
For PVH Dom0 the hypervisor populates MADT with only x2APIC entries, so
without x2APIC support enabled in the kernel things aren't going to work
very well. (As opposed, DomU-s would only ever see LAPIC entries in MADT
as of now.) Note that this then requires PVH Dom0 to be 64-bit, as
X86_X2APIC depends on X86_64.
In the course of this xen_running_on_version_or_later() needs to be
available more broadly. Move it from a PV-specific to a generic file,
considering that what it does isn't really PV-specific at all anyway.
Note that xen/interface/version.h cannot be included on its own; in

The code is unreachable for HVM or PVH, and it also makes little sense
in auto-translated environments. On Arm, with
xen_{create,destroy}_contiguous_region() both being stubs, I have a hard
time seeing what good the Xen specific variant does - the generic one
ought to be fine for all purposes there. Still Arm code explicitly
references symbols here, so the code will continue to be included there.
Instead of making PCI_XEN's "select" conditional, simply drop it -
SWIOTLB_XEN will be available unconditionally in the PV case anyway, and
is - as explained above - dead code in non-PV environments.
This in turn allows dropping the stubs for
xen_{create,destroy}_contiguous_region(), the former of which was broken
anyway - it failed to set the DMA handle output.

xen: add helpers to allocate unpopulated memory
memremap: rename MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX to MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC
xen/balloon: add header guard
To be used in order to create foreign mappings. This is based on the
ZONE_DEVICE facility which is used by persistent memory devices in
order to create struct pages and kernel virtual mappings for the IOMEM
areas of such devices. Note that on kernels without support for
ZONE_DEVICE Xen will fallback to use ballooned pages in order to
create foreign mappings.
The newly added helpers use the same parameters as the existing
{alloc/free}_xenballooned_pages functions, which allows for in-place
replacement of the callers. Once a memory region has been added to be
used as scratch mapping space it will no longer be released, and pages
returned are kept in a linked list. This allows to have a buffer of
pages and prevents resorting to frequent additions and removals of
regions.
If enabled (because ZONE_DEVICE is supported) the usage of the new
functionality untangles Xen balloon and RAM hotplug from the usage of
unpopulated physical memory ranges to map foreign pages, which is the
correct thing to do in order to avoid mappings of foreign pages depend
on memory hotplug.
Note the driver is currently not enabled on Arm platforms because it
would interfere with the identity mapping required on some platforms.

in nested virtualization case (nested EPT is slow). When HVM/PVH guest is
started with memory= significantly lower than maxmem=, all the extra
pages will be scrubbed before returning to Xen. But since most of them
weren't used at all at that point, Xen needs to populate them first
(from populate-on-demand pool). In nested virt case (Xen inside KVM)
this slows down the guest boot by 15-30s with just 1.5GB needed to be
returned to Xen.
Add runtime parameter to enable/disable it, to allow initially disabling
scrubbing, then enable it back during boot (for example in initramfs).
Such usage relies on assumption that a) most pages ballooned out during
initial boot weren't used at all, and b) even if they were, very few
secrets are in the guest at that time (before any serious userspace
kicks in).
Convert CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES to CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT (also
enabled by default), controlling default value for the new runtime
switch.

Add UAPI and IOCTLs for dma-buf grant device driver extension:
the extension allows userspace processes and kernel modules to
use Xen backed dma-buf implementation. With this extension grant
references to the pages of an imported dma-buf can be exported
for other domain use and grant references coming from a foreign
domain can be converted into a local dma-buf for local export.

Extend grant table module API to allow allocating buffers that can
be used for DMA operations and mapping foreign grant references
on top of those.
The resulting buffer is similar to the one allocated by the balloon
driver in that proper memory reservation is made by
({increase|decrease}_reservation and VA mappings are updated if
needed).
This is useful for sharing foreign buffers with HW drivers which
cannot work with scattered buffers provided by the balloon driver,
but require DMAable memory instead.

Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
"This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any
peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:
- MEMORY init (UEFI)
- ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)
- CPU init (FADT)
- GIC init (MADT)
- SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)
- ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)
ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This
has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
kernel. This pull request is the result of that work.
These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course,
there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
series has been merged.
Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
-next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly
half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.
So, we'll see how this goes. Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"

Commit 054954eb05 ("xen: switch to linear
virtual mapped sparse p2m list") introduced a regression regarding to
memory hotplug for a pv-domain: as the virtual space for the p2m list
is allocated for the to be expected memory size of the domain only,
hotplugged memory above that size will not be usable by the domain.
Correct this by using a configurable size for the p2m list in case of
memory hotplug enabled (default supported memory size is 512 GB for
64 bit domains and 4 GB for 32 bit domains).

Introduces the Xen pvSCSI backend. With pvSCSI it is possible for a
Xen domU to issue SCSI commands to a SCSI LUN assigned to that
domU. The SCSI commands are passed to the pvSCSI backend in a driver
domain (usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device. This
allows e.g. to use SCSI tape drives in a Xen domU.
The code is taken from the pvSCSI implementation in Xen done by
Fujitsu based on Linux kernel 2.6.18.
Changes from the original version are:
- port to upstream kernel
- put all code in just one source file
- adapt to Linux style guide
- use target core infrastructure instead doing pure pass-through
- enable module unloading
- support SG-list in grant page(s)
- support task abort
- remove redundant struct backend
- allocate resources dynamically
- correct minor error in scsiback_fast_flush_area
- free allocated resources in case of error during I/O preparation
- remove CDB emulation, now handled by target core infrastructure

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.

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.
Features:
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000
events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in
event latency through the use of FIFOs.
