David Vrabel 636171218e libxc: remove tests of alloca() return value
alloca() does not return NULL on an allocation failure on Linux so
remove the unneccessary tests from this Linux-specific code.

Olaf Hering b9933931b5 mini-os: convert mlock macros to C functions
mlock and munlock are implemented as macros in mini-os. Their usage
requires casting in common code.  Convert them to C syntax and provide
an empty dummy function.  Remove the now unneeded (void) cast from two
munlock calls.

Olaf Hering 3fb8faf59e tools/libxc: handle fallback in linux_privcmd_map_foreign_bulk properly
If the first ioctl fails with ENOENT it means the command is known. If a
second attempt to map each gfn happens to fail then there is no need to
run the fallback code. Some gfns are paged and the fallback code would
not fix the failure. Instead return the EINVAL to the caller.

Andres Lagar-Cavilla e9f7017afe libxc: Only retry mapping pages when ENOENT is returned
If the return value from the ioctl() is not ENOENT, it's possible that err[i]
will not be updated and libxc will just loop forever.  Although it's unlikely
that err[i] would not be updated after the ioctl() gets through at least once,
it's better to be defensive.

Daniel De Graaf dc52d92824 libxc: Fix checks on grant notify arguments
The notify offset and event channels are both unsigned variables, so
testing for >= 0 will not correctly detect the use of -1 to indicate
the field is unused. Remove the useless comparison and replace with
correct range checks or comparisons to -1.

Shriram Rajagopalan de869779a0 tools/libxc: introduce xc_memalign in xc_{minios,linux,solaris,netbsd}.c
Move (page aligned) buffer allocations in {os}_privcmd_alloc_hypercall_buffer
into a global function xc_memalign. This API is also used by Remus
compression code to allocate compression caches that need to be page aligned.

Daniel De Graaf 1f5552006d libxc: add xc_gnttab_map_grant_ref_notify
Normally, when a userspace process mapping a grant crashes, the domain
providing the reference receives no indication that its peer has
crashed, possibly leading to unexpected freezes or timeouts. This
function provides a notification of the unmap by signalling an event
channel and/or clearing a specific byte in the page.

This also unifies the 3 very similar grant-mapping osdep interfaces into
a single function instead of introducing yet another minor variation.

Daniel De Graaf 618a3fb38b libxc: Remove set_max_grants in linux
The maximum number of grants is now constrained domain-wide in linux,
so set_max_grants should be a noop there. Previously, this constraint
was per-file-description.

Ian Campbell d2c71cadc5 libxc: refactor Linux OS interface into a separate file.
This helps ensure that the osdep abstraction is complete by
allowing us to avoid including xc_private.h.

All the other OS backends could benefit from the same treatment but
since I cannot compile test I did not do this.
