Currently xc_translate_foreign_address() only checks for the PSE bit on
level 2 entries (that's 2 MB pages on x64 and 32-bit with PAE, and 4 MB
pages on 32-bit). But the Linux kernel sometimes uses 1 GB pages. This
patch fixes that, by checking the PSE bit on level 3 entries if the guest
has 4 translation levels (that means 64-bit guests only).

which surprisingly (or maybe not) looks like
XEN_SYSCTL_TMEM_OP_SET_POOLS.
This hypercall came about, as explained in docs/misc/tmem-internals.html:
When tmem was first proposed to the linux kernel mailing list
(LKML), there was concern expressed about security of shared ephemeral
pools. The initial tmem implementation only
required a client to provide a 128-bit UUID to identify a shared pool, and the
linux-side tmem implementation obtained this UUID from the superblock of the
shared filesystem (in ocfs2). It was
pointed out on LKML that the UUID was essentially a security key and any
malicious domain that guessed it would have access to any data from the shared
filesystem that found its way into tmem.
..
As a result, a Xen boot option -- tmem_shared_auth; -- was
added. The option defaults to disabled,
but when it is enabled, management tools must explicitly authenticate (or may
explicitly deny) shared pool access to any client.
On Xen, this is done with the xm tmem-shared-auth command.
"
However the implementation has some rather large holes:
a) The hypercall was accessed from any guest.
b) If the ->domain id value is 0xFFFF then one can toggle the
tmem_global.shared_auth knob on/off. That with a)
made it pretty bad.
c) If one toggles the tmem_global.shared_auth off, then the
'tmem_shared_auth=1' bootup parameter is ignored and
one can join any shared pool (if UUID is known)!
d) If the 'tmem_shared_auth=1' and tmem_global.shared_auth is
set to 1, then one can only join an shared pool if the
UUID has been set by 'xl tmem-shared-auth'. Otherwise
the joining of a pool fails and a non-shared pool is
created (without errors to guest). Not exactly sure if
the shared pool creation at that point should error out
or not.
e) If a guest is migrated, the policy values (which UUID
can be shared, whether tmem_global.shared_auth is set, etc)
are completely ignored.
This patch only fixes a) and only allows the hypercall to
be called by the control domain. Subsequent patches will
fix the remaining issues.
We also have to call client_create as the guest at this
point may not have done any tmem hypercalls - and hence
the '->tmem' from 'struct domain' is still NULL. Us calling
client_create fixes this.

Callers to xc_cpupool_create() can either request a specific pool id,
or request that Xen do it for them. But at the moment, the
"automatic" selection is indicated by using a magic value, 0. This is
undesirable both because it doesn't obviously have meaning, but also
because '0' is a valid cpupool (albeit one which at the moment can't
be changed).
Introduce a constant, XC_CPUPOOL_POOLID_ANY, to indicate this instead.
Have it be the default for the python bindings.
Manually translate it, even though it's the same underlying value,

[ ijc -- updated MINIOS_UPSTREAM_REVISION and QEMU_TRADITIONAL_REVISION ]
It can trivially be replaced by xc_map_foreign_pages which is the
interface I want to move to going forward (by standardising on _bulk
but handling err=NULL as _pages does).
The callers of _batch are checking a mixture of a NULL return or
looking to see if the top nibble of the (usually sole) mfn they pass
has been modified to be non-zero to detect errors. _pages never
modifies the mfn it was given (it's const) and returns NULL on
failure, so adjust the error handling where necessary. Some callers
use a copy of the mfn array, for reuse on failure with _batch, which
is no longer necessary as _pages doesn't modify the array, however I
haven't cleaned that up here.
This reduces the twist maze of xc_map_foreign_* by one, which will be
useful when trying to come up with an underlying stable interface.
NetBSD and Solaris implemented xc_map_foreign_bulk in terms of
xc_map_foreign_batch via a compat layer, so xc_map_foreign_batch
becomes an internal osdep for them.

The alternative backend (a xen-api/xapi shim) is no longer around and
so this stuff is now just baggage which is getting in the way of
refactoring libxenctrl.
Nested virt probably suffices for this use case now.
This was the last component of the osdep infrastructure, so all the
dynamic loading etc stuff all falls away too.
As part of this I was forced to investigate the twisty
xc_map_foreign_* maze, which I have added to the
toolstack-library-apis doc in the hopes of doing something sensible.
NetBSD and Solaris now call xc_map_foreign_bulk_compat directly from
their xc_map_foreign_bulk, which could have been achieved by using
some ifdefs around a renamed function. This will fall out in the wash
when these functions move to their own library.

Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_GNTTAB_API) libxenctrl will

This leaves a few grant table related functions which go via privcmd

libxenctrl. Specifically:
- xc_gnttab_get_version
- xc_gnttab_map_table_v1

- xc_gnttab_op
These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels.
The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.

The alternative backend (a xen-api/xapi shim) is no longer around and
so this stuff is now just baggage which is getting in the way of
refactoring libxenctrl.
Nested virt probably suffices for this use case now.
It is now necessary to provide explicit versions of things for
platforms which do not implement this functionality, since the osdep
dispatcher cannot fulfil this need any more. These are provided by
appropriate xc_nognt???.c files which are compiled and linked on the
appropriate platforms. In them open and close return failure and
everything else aborts, since if open fails they should never be
called.

libxenevtchn will provide a stable API and ABI for accessing the
evtchn device.
The functions are moved into the xenevtchn namespace to make a clean
break from libxc and avoid ambiguity regarding which interfaces are
stable.
All in-tree users are updated to use the new names.
Upon request (via #define XC_WANT_COMPAT_EVTCHN_API) libxenctrl will
provide a compat API for the old names. This is used by qemu-xen for
the time being. qemu-xen-traditional is updated in lockstep.
This leaves a few event channel related functions which go via privcmd
(EVTCHNOP) rather than ioctls on the /dev/xen/evtchn device in
libxenctrl. Specifically:
- xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound
- xc_evtchn_reset
- xc_evtchn_status
Note that xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound's functionality is also provided by
xenevtchn_bind_unbound_port() (née xc_evtchn_bind_unbound_port) and is
probably redundant.
These functions do not appear to be needed by qemu-dm, qemu-pv
(provision of device model to HVM guests and PV backends respectively)
or by libvchan suggesting they are not needed by non-toolstack uses of
event channels. QEMU does use these in hw/xenpv/xen_domainbuild.c but
that is a "toolstack use".
The new library uses a version script to ensure that only expected
symbols are exported and to version them such that ABI guarantees can
be kept in the future.
