The canonical netif header (in the Xen source repo) and the Linux variant
have diverged significantly. Recently much documentation has been added to
the canonical header which is highly useful for developers making
modifications to either xen-netfront or xen-netback. This patch therefore
re-imports the canonical header in its entirity.
To maintain compatibility and some style consistency with the old Linux
variant, the header was stripped of its emacs boilerplate, and
post-processed and copied into place with the following commands:
ed -s netif.h << EOF
H
,s/NETTXF_/XEN_NETTXF_/g

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
shared ring while it is being inspected). Safe usage of a request
generally requires taking a local copy.
Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy(). This takes care of
ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
compiler optimizations.
Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
omitting the copy.
This is part of XSA155.

Currently there is a number of issues preventing PVHVM Xen guests from
doing successful kexec/kdump:
- Bound event channels.
- Registered vcpu_info.
- PIRQ/emuirq mappings.
- shared_info frame after XENMAPSPACE_shared_info operation.
- Active grant mappings.
Basically, newly booted kernel stumbles upon already set up Xen
interfaces and there is no way to reestablish them. In Xen-4.7 a new
feature called 'soft reset' is coming. A guest performing kexec/kdump
operation is supposed to call SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with
SHUTDOWN_soft_reset reason before jumping to new kernel. Hypervisor
(with some help from toolstack) will do full domain cleanup (but
keeping its memory and vCPU contexts intact) returning the guest to
the state it had when it was first booted and thus allowing it to
start over.
Doing SHUTDOWN_soft_reset on Xen hypervisors which don't support it is
probably OK as by default all unknown shutdown reasons cause domain
destroy with a message in toolstack log: 'Unknown shutdown reason code
5. Destroying domain.' which gives a clue to what the problem is and
eliminates false expectations.

Xen's PV network protocol includes messages to add/remove ethernet
multicast addresses to/from a filter list in the backend. This allows
the frontend to request the backend only forward multicast packets
which are of interest thus preventing unnecessary noise on the shared
ring.
The canonical netif header in git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git specifies
the message format (two more XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPEs) so the minimal
necessary changes have been pulled into include/xen/interface/io/netif.h.
To prevent the frontend from extending the multicast filter list
arbitrarily a limit (XEN_NETBK_MCAST_MAX) has been set to 64 entries.
This limit is not specified by the protocol and so may change in future.
If the limit is reached then the next XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_ADD
sent by the frontend will be failed with NETIF_RSP_ERROR.

Map shared data structure that will hold CPU registers, VPMU context,
V/PCPU IDs of the CPU interrupted by PMU interrupt. Hypervisor fills
this information in its handler and passes it to the guest for further
processing.
Set up PMU VIRQ.
Now that perf infrastructure will assume that PMU is available on a PV
guest we need to be careful and make sure that accesses via RDPMC
instruction don't cause fatal traps by the hypervisor. Provide a nop
RDPMC handler.
For the same reason avoid issuing a warning on a write to APIC's LVTPC.
Both of these will be made functional in later patches.

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.

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).
