814bbf49dc xen: remove tmem driver
The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the
related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental"
state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13).

The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

b3383974fe xen: Introduce shared buffer helpers for page directory...
based frontends. Currently the frontends which implement
similar code for sharing big buffers between frontend and
backend are para-virtualized DRM and sound drivers.
Both define the same way to share grant references of a
data buffer with the corresponding backend with little
differences.

Move shared code into a helper module, so there is a single
implementation of the same functionality for all.

This patch introduces code which is used by sound and display
frontend drivers without functional changes with the intention
to remove shared code from the corresponding drivers.

f1db005048 xen: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig
'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.
    ...

ea9e57d06e xen: Make XEN_BACKEND selectable by DomU
XEN_BACKEND doesn't actually depend on XEN_DOM0.  DomUs can serve
backends to other DomUs.  One example is a service VM providing network
backends.

The original Kconfig defaulted Dom0 to y and it could be disabled.  DomU
could not select the option.  With the new Kconfig, we default y for
Dom0 and n for DomU.  Either can then toggle the selection.

197ecb3802 xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing ballooned out pages
Scrubbing pages on initial balloon down can take some time, especially
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.

9bdc7304f5 xen/grant-table: Allow allocating buffers suitable for DMA
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.

 "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).

d9d660f6e5 xen-scsiback: Add Xen PV SCSI backend driver
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

be81c8a1da xen: Put EFI machinery in place
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.

  - Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with paravirtualized
    disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and timers, no emulated devices
    of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS or legacy boot — but instead of
    requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM hardware extensions to virtualize the
    pagetables, as well as system calls and other privileged operations."
    (from "The Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
 Bug-fixes:
  - Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
  - Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
  - Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
  - Refactors in event channels.

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.
   - Xen PVH support.  "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with
     paravirtualized disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and
     timers, no emulated devices of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS
     or legacy boot — but instead of requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM
     hardware extensions to virtualize the pagetables, as well as system
     calls and other privileged operations." (from "The
     Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")

  Bug-fixes:
   - Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
   - Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
   - Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
   - Refactors in event channels"

72f28071f1 xen: balloon: enable for ARM
Since c275a57f5e "xen/balloon: Set balloon's initial state to number of
existing RAM pages" the balloon driver appears to work fine on ARM as far as I
can tell. Prior to that commit it was broken because on ARM RAM doesn't
typically start at zero, effectively leaving a big MMIO hole at the start.
This would cause the balloon driver to give away all of RAM at start of day,
which is rather inconvenient.

It was already enabled (or rather not excluded) on ARM64. The
c1d15f5c8b
"xen/balloon: Seperate the auto-translate logic properly (v2)"
added in the proper plumbing to work with ARM and PVH type guests.

83862ccfc0 xen/arm,arm64: enable SWIOTLB_XEN
Xen on arm and arm64 needs SWIOTLB_XEN: when running on Xen we need to
program the hardware with mfns rather than pfns for dma addresses.
Remove SWIOTLB_XEN dependency on X86 and PCI and make XEN select
SWIOTLB_XEN on arm and arm64.

At the moment always rely on swiotlb-xen, but when Xen starts supporting
hardware IOMMUs we'll be able to avoid it conditionally on the presence
of an IOMMU on the platform.

Implement xen_create_contiguous_region on arm and arm64: for the moment
we assume that dom0 has been mapped 1:1 (physical addresses == machine
addresses) therefore we don't need to call XENMEM_exchange. Simply
return the physical address as dma address.

Initialize the xen-swiotlb from xen_early_init (before the native
dma_ops are initialized), set xen_dma_ops to &xen_swiotlb_dma_ops.

Changes in v8:
- assume dom0 is mapped 1:1, no need to call XENMEM_exchange.

Changes in v7:
- call __set_phys_to_machine_multi from xen_create_contiguous_region and
xen_destroy_contiguous_region to update the P2M;
- don't call XENMEM_unpin, it has been removed;
- call XENMEM_exchange instead of XENMEM_exchange_and_pin;
- set nr_exchanged to 0 before calling the hypercall.

Changes in v6:
- introduce and export xen_dma_ops;
- call xen_mm_init from as arch_initcall.

Changes in v4:
- remove redefinition of DMA_ERROR_CODE;
- update the code to use XENMEM_exchange_and_pin and XENMEM_unpin;
- add a note about hardware IOMMU in the commit message.

Changes in v3:
- code style changes;

Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module.  Xen self-ballooning
and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the
Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by
module parameters.

Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy
initialization patches are not present.

If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling
via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered
deprecated.

Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

76fc253723 xen/acpi-stub: Disable it b/c the acpi_processor_add is no longer called.
With the Xen ACPI stub code (CONFIG_XEN_STUB=y) enabled, the power
C and P states are no longer uploaded to the hypervisor.

The reason is that the Xen CPU hotplug code: xen-acpi-cpuhotplug.c
and the xen-acpi-stub.c register themselves as the "processor" type object.

That means the generic processor (processor_driver.c) stops
working and it does not call (acpi_processor_add) which populates the

         per_cpu(processors, pr->id) = pr;

structure. The 'pr' is gathered from the acpi_processor_get_info function
which does the job of finding the C-states and figuring out PBLK address.

The 'processors->pr' is then later used by xen-acpi-processor.c (the one that
uploads C and P states to the hypervisor). Since it is NULL, we end
skip the gathering of _PSD, _PSS, _PCT, etc and never upload the power
management data.

The end result is that enabling the CONFIG_XEN_STUB in the build means that
xen-acpi-processor is not working anymore.

This temporary patch fixes it by marking the XEN_STUB driver as
BROKEN until this can be properly fixed.

dcb93b96ce xen/stub: driver for memory hotplug
This patch create a file (xen-stub.c) for Xen stub drivers.
Xen stub drivers are used to reserve space for Xen drivers, i.e.
memory hotplug and cpu hotplug, and to block native drivers loaded,
so that real Xen drivers can be modular and loaded on demand.

This patch is specific for Xen memory hotplug (other Xen logic
can add stub drivers on their own). The xen stub driver will
occupied earlier via subsys_initcall (than native memory hotplug
driver via module_init and so blocking native). Later real Xen
memory hotplug logic will unregister the stub driver and register
itself to take effect on demand.

59a5680291 xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.
This driver solves three problems:
 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
     hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.

The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
transitions.

For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.

Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.

Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.

There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

[v1-v2: Initial RFC implementations that were posted]
[v3: Changed the name to passthru suggested by Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>]
[v4: Added vCPU != pCPU support - aka dom0_max_vcpus support]

[v6: Changed the driver to a CPU frequency governor]
[v7: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> suggestion to make it a cpufreq scaling driver

d8414d3c15 xen: Add privcmd device driver
Access to arbitrary hypercalls is currently provided via xenfs. This
adds a standard character device to handle this. The support in xenfs
remains for backward compatibility and uses the device driver code.

5fbdc10395 xen: remove XEN_PLATFORM_PCI config option
Xen PVHVM needs xen-platform-pci, on the other hand xen-platform-pci is
useless in any other cases.
Therefore remove the XEN_PLATFORM_PCI config option and compile
xen-platform-pci built-in if XEN_PVHVM is selected.

Changes to v1:

- remove xen-platform-pci.o and just use platform-pci.o since it is not
externally visible anymore.
