Removing the include of sys/ptrace.h and threaddb.h exposed a few
places which were using time(2) or gettimeofday(2) without including
time.h or sys/time.h respectively and were relying on an include.

We provide a new header file "xentoollog.h" which defines an interface
that libraries and applications can use for logging. This avoids
having to wrap each library's log callbacks up, massage arguments to
log callbacks, and so on.
The library's .o files are within libxc to avoid having to create a
separate lib*.a, but callers do not need to #include xenctrl.h and it
should be regarded as a separate API.

Replace all calls to xc_map_foreign_batch() where the caller doesn't
look at the passed in array to check for errors by calls to
xc_map_foreign_pages(). Replace all remaining calls by such to the
newly introduced xc_map_foreign_bulk().
As a sideband modification (needed while writing the patch to ensure
they're unused) eliminate unused parameters to
uncanonicalize_pagetable() and xc_map_foreign_batch_single(). Also
unmap live_p2m_frame_list earlier in map_and_save_p2m_table(),
reducing the peak amount of virtual address space required.
All supported OSes other than Linux continue to use the old ioctl for
the time being.
Also change libxc's MAJOR to 4.0 to reflect the API change.

Recent upstream kernels can be compressed using either gzip,
bzip2, or LZMA. However, the PV kernel loader in Xen currently only
understands gzip, and will fail on the other two types. The attached
patch implements kernel decompression for gzip, bzip2, and LZMA so
that kernels compressed with any of these methods can be launched.

Tmem, when called from a tmem-capable (paravirtualized) guest, makes
use of otherwise unutilized ("fallow") memory to create and manage
pools of pages that can be accessed from the guest either as
"ephemeral" pages or as "persistent" pages. In either case, the pages
are not directly addressible by the guest, only copied to and fro via
the tmem interface. Ephemeral pages are a nice place for a guest to
put recently evicted clean pages that it might need again; these pages
can be reclaimed synchronously by Xen for other guests or other uses.
Persistent pages are a nice place for a guest to put "swap" pages to
avoid sending them to disk. These pages retain data as long as the
guest lives, but count against the guest memory allocation.
Tmem pages may optionally be compressed and, in certain cases, can be
shared between guests. Tmem also handles concurrency nicely and
provides limited QoS settings to combat malicious DoS attempts.
Save/restore and live migration support is not yet provided.
Tmem is primarily targeted for an x86 64-bit hypervisor. On a 32-bit
x86 hypervisor, it has limited functionality and testing due to
limitations of the xen heap. Nearly all of tmem is
architecture-independent; three routines remain to be ported to ia64
and it should work on that architecture too. It is also structured to
be portable to non-Xen environments.
Tmem defaults off (for now) and must be enabled with a "tmem" xen boot
option (and does nothing unless a tmem-capable guest is running). The
"tmem_compress" boot option enables compression which takes about 10x
more CPU but approximately doubles the number of pages that can be
stored.
Tmem can be controlled via several "xm" commands and many interesting
tmem statistics can be obtained. A README and internal specification
will follow, but lots of useful prose about tmem, as well as Linux
patches, can be found at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem .

In c/s 19009 an incompatible change was made to the ABI of libelf-*,
which are included in libxenctrl and libxenguest. To avoid client
programs (such as python/lowlevel/xc/xc.so) picking up a wrong
version and perhaps crashing, the soname should be changed.
I have chosen the version number 3.4 as xen-unstable is currently the
pre-3.4 branch. I assume we don't care about API/ABI stability within
an unstable branch.

If you use -MMD -MF then the correct .o filename is written to the
.*.d file as the compiler driver arranges everything. This was done
in 19010:275abe1c5d24 for the hypervisor.
In this patch we do the same elsewhere in the xen-unstable tree,
particularly tools/. Specifically:
* Change tools/Rules.mk to add -MMD -MF ... to CFLAGS and set DEPS.
* Remove -Wp,-MD... from every other Makefile
* Remove setting of DEPS from every other Makefile
* Ensure that every Makefile says -include $(DEPS)
* Ensure that every Makefile's clean target removes $(DEPS)
Some Makefiles were already halfway there, but often for a different
variable name eg PROG_DEP. The variable name is now standardised in
Rules.mk as DEPS.
I have done a test build with this change, on Debian etch.

allowing it to be extracted and used by the Xen domain builder.

- Move PAGE_SIZE and STACK_SIZE into __PAGE_SIZE and __STACK_SIZE in
arch_limits.h so as to permit getting them from there without
pulling all the internal Mini-OS defines.
- Setup a xen-elf cross-compilation environment in stubdom/cross-root
- Add a POSIX layer on top of Mini-OS by linking against the newlib C
library and lwIP, and implementing the Unixish part in mini-os/lib/sys.c
- Cross-compile zlib and libpci too.
- Add an xs.h-compatible layer on top of Mini-OS' xenbus.
- Cross-compile libxc with an additional xc_minios.c and a few things
disabled.
- Cross-compile ioemu with an additional block-vbd, but without sound,
tpm and other details. A few hacks are needed:
- Align ide and scsi buffers at least on sector size to permit
direct transmission to the block backend. While we are at it, just
page-align it to possibly save a segment. Also, limit the scsi
buffer size because of limitations of the block paravirtualization
protocol.
- Allocate big tables dynamically rather that letting them go to
bss: when Mini-OS gets installed in memory, bss is not lazily
allocated, and doing so during Mini-OS is unnecessarily trick while
we can simply use malloc.
- Had to change the Mini-OS compilation somehow, so as to export
Mini-OS compilation flags to the Makefiles of libxc and ioemu.

Preference seems to be to update library versions only when the ABI
changes. Only libxenctrl/libxenguest have their version number changed
to 3.2.0, as a reminder that they change on pretty much every major
release.
libfsimage/libxenstore/libblktap have not changed substantially
recently, hence the ABI has not changed, and version number stays the
same as in Xen 3.1 (and before).

* Arrange for the sonames of libxenstore, libxc, libfsimage and
libblktap to be set from a single place in Config.mk.
* Bumps the soname major version number to 3.2 in preparation for
3.2 rc1 after which we do not expect to have ABI changes.
I have not done anything about libaio and libflask. The former is
imported from elsewhere and if we're lucky will have sane versioning
upstream.
libflask has a very small interface and I'm hoping that the XSM
authors have been keeping some ABI discipline.
