David Scott 7f6b3ca54d linux_gntshr_munmap: munmap takes a length, not a page count
This fixes a bug where if a client shares more than 1 page, the
munmap call fails to clean up everything. A process which does
a lot of sharing and unsharing can run out of resources.

This patch also fixes in-tree callers of
  - xc_gntshr_munmap
  - xc_gnttab_munmap
to supply page counts rather than lengths.

Matthew Daley f2f06a2f1b libvchan: handle libxc evtchn failures properly in init functions
The reasoning behind this patch is that ctrl->event_port is a uint32_t
(ie. unsigned), so the current checks on it for negative error results,
non-negative port presence etc. are incorrect.

Fix by using evtchn_port_or_error_t in the init functions instead,
adjusting the error handling, and removing the now-unnecessary check
from the close function.

Ian Campbell debddaa56c nstore: rename public xenstore headers
The xenstore header xs.h is producing conflicts with other software[1].

xs is a too short identifier and does not matche the library. Renaming
the headers to xenstore.h and xenstore_lib.h is the easiest way to make
them easy recognizable and prevent furthe problems.

[ Also update QEMU_TAG, to bring in corresponding change to
qemu-xen-traditional. -iwj ]

Anil Madhavapeddy 6a14fdf920 libvchan: fix segfault in client error path
In libvchan_client_init, go to the error path if the gntdev device is
not available.  Otherwise, a segfault happens later as the vchan
context is invalid.

Daniel De Graaf 1a16a3351f libvchan: interdomain communications library
This library implements a bidirectional communication interface between
applications in different domains, similar to unix sockets. Data can be
sent using the byte-oriented libvchan_read/libvchan_write or the
packet-oriented libvchan_recv/libvchan_send.

Channel setup is done using a client-server model; domain IDs and a port
number must be negotiated prior to initialization. The server allocates
memory for the shared pages and determines the sizes of the
communication rings (which may span multiple pages, although the default
places rings and control within a single page).

With properly sized rings, testing has shown that this interface
provides speed comparable to pipes within a single Linux domain; it is
significantly faster than network-based communication.
