16b12d6057 xen: synchronize include/xen/interface/xen.h with xen
The header include/xen/interface/xen.h doesn't contain all definitions

923b2919e2 xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special on x86 PV guests
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.

f221b04fe0 x86/xen: properly retrieve NMI reason
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).

   - skd and cciss converted to use pci_enable_msix_exact().  From
     Alexander Gordeev.

   - A few mtip32xx fixes from Asai @ Micron.

   - The conversion of mtip32xx from make_request_fn to blk-mq, and a
     later small fix for that conversion on quiescing for non-queued IO.
     From me.

   - A fix for bsg to use an exported function to check whether this
     driver is request based or not.  Needed updating for blk-mq, which
     is request based, but does not have a request_fn hook.  From me.

   - Small floppy bug fix from Jiri.

   - A series of cleanups for the cdrom uniform layer from Joe Perches.
     Gets rid of various old ugly macros, making the code conform more
     to the modern coding style.

   - A series of patches for drbd from the drbd crew (Lars Ellenberg and
     Philipp Reisner).

   - A use-after-free fix for null_blk from Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei is a performance patch for virtio-blk, which can
     net us a 3x win on kvm platforms where world notification is
     expensive.

   - Ming Lei also fixed a stall issue in virtio-blk, due to a race
     between queue start/stop and resource limits.

   - A small batch of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Olaf Hering and
     Valentin Priescu"

5e40704ed2 arm: xen: implement multicall hypercall support.
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.

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"

4e903a20da xen/pvh: Support ParaVirtualized Hardware extensions (v3).
PVH allows PV linux guest to utilize hardware extended capabilities,
such as running MMU updates in a HVM container.

The Xen side defines PVH as (from docs/misc/pvh-readme.txt,
with modifications):

"* the guest uses auto translate:
 - p2m is managed by Xen
 - pagetables are owned by the guest
 - mmu_update hypercall not available
* it uses event callback and not vlapic emulation,
* IDT is native, so set_trap_table hcall is also N/A for a PVH guest.

For a full list of hcalls supported for PVH, see pvh_hypercall64_table
in arch/x86/hvm/hvm.c in xen.  From the ABI prespective, it's mostly a
PV guest with auto translate, although it does use hvm_op for setting
callback vector."

Use .ascii and .asciz to define xen feature string. Note, the PVH
string must be in a single line (not multiple lines with \) to keep the
assembler from putting null char after each string before \.
This patch allows it to be configured and enabled.

We also use introduce the 'XEN_ELFNOTE_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' ELF note to
tell the hypervisor that 'hvm_callback_vector' is what the kernel
needs. We can not put it in 'XEN_ELFNOTE_FEATURES' as older hypervisor
parse fields they don't understand as errors and refuse to load
the kernel. This work-around fixes the problem.

bf2bbe07f1 xen/events: Add the hypervisor interface for the FIFO-based event channels
Add the hypercall sub-ops and the structures for the shared data used
in the FIFO-based event channel ABI.

The design document for this new ABI is available here:

    http://xenbits.xen.org/people/dvrabel/event-channels-H.pdf

In summary, events are reported using a per-domain shared event array
of event words.  Each event word has PENDING, LINKED and MASKED bits
and a LINK field for pointing to the next event in the event queue.

There are 16 event queues (with different priorities) per-VCPU.

Key advantages of this new ABI include:

- Support for over 100,000 events (2^17).
- 16 different event priorities.
- Improved fairness in event latency through the use of FIFOs.

The ABI is available in Xen 4.4 and later.

4203d0eb3a Merge tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull Xen bugfixes from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
 - Fix balloon driver for auto-translate guests (PVHVM, ARM) to not use
   scratch pages.
 - Fix block API header for ARM32 and ARM64 to have proper layout
 - On ARM when mapping guests, stick on PTE_SPECIAL
 - When using SWIOTLB under ARM, don't call swiotlb functions twice
 - When unmapping guests memory and if we fail, don't return pages which
   failed to be unmapped.
 - Grant driver was using the wrong address on ARM.

* tag 'stable/for-linus-3.13-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
  xen/balloon: Seperate the auto-translate logic properly (v2)
  xen/block: Correctly define structures in public headers on ARM32 and ARM64
  arm: xen: foreign mapping PTEs are special.
  xen/arm64: do not call the swiotlb functions twice
  xen: privcmd: do not return pages which we have failed to unmap
  XEN: Grant table address, xen_hvm_resume_frames, is a phys_addr not a pfn
