Allow a domain to be built under one security label and run using a
different label. This can be used to prevent the domain builder or
control domain from having the ability to access a guest domain's memory
via map_foreign_range except during the build process where this is
required.
Example domain configuration snippet:
seclabel='customer_1:vm_r:nomigrate_t'
init_seclabel='customer_1:vm_r:nomigrate_t_building'
Note: this does not provide complete protection from a malicious dom0;
mappings created during the build process may persist after the relabel,
and could be used to indirectly access the guest's memory. However, if
dom0 correctly unmaps the domain upon building, a the domU is protected
against dom0 becoming malicious in the future.

At the sender
xc_domain_save has a key point: 'to query the types of all the pages
with xc_get_pfn_type_batch'
1) if broken page occur before the key point, migration will be fine
since proper pfn_type and pfn number will be transferred to the
target and then take appropriate action;
2) if broken page occur after the key point, whole system will crash
and no need care migration any more;
At the target
Target will populates pages for guest. As for the case of broken page,
we prefer to keep the type of the page for the sake of seamless migration.
Target will set p2m as p2m_ram_broken for broken page. If guest access
the broken page again it will kill itself as expected.

It was convenient to invent $(CFLAGS_LIBXL) to do this.
Various renamings to avoid shadowing standard functions:
- index(3)
- listen(2)
- link(2)
- abort(3)
- abs(3)
Reduced the scope of some variables to avoid conflicts.
Change to libxc is due to the nested hypercall buf macros in

This avoids the hypercall buffer becoming CoW on fork.
In multi-threads and multi-processes environment, e.g. the process has two
threads, thread A may call hypercall, thread B may call fork() to create child
process. After forking, all pages of the process including hypercall buffers
are cow. It will cause a write protection and return EFAULT error if hypervisor
calls copy_to_user in hypercall in thread A context,
Fix:
1. Before hypercall: use MADV_DONTFORK of madvise syscall to make the hypercall
buffer not to be copied to child process after fork.
2. After hypercall: undo the effect of MADV_DONTFORK for the hypercall buffer
by using MADV_DOFORK of madvise syscall.
3. Use mmap/nunmap for memory alloc/free instead of malloc/free to bypass libc.
Note:
Child processes must not use the opened xc_{interface,evtchn,gnttab,gntshr}
handle that inherits from parents. They should reopen the handle if they want
to interact with xc. Otherwise, it may cause segment fault to access hypercall
buffer caches of the handle.

With changeset 24364:0964341efd65 an event channel based notification of
new responses in the ringbuffer is implemented. This makes the memevent
interface obsolete. Currently a call to p2m_mem_paging_resume() is
triggered twice by xenpaging, once per memevent and once per even
channel. In practice this double call does not lead to issues because
p2m_mem_paging_resume() processes only available events.
xenpaging used the event channel notification since the beginning, but
it was a no-op until changeset mentioned above. This change removes the
unneeded XENMEM_paging_op_resume functionality. Pagers are notified via
an event channel of new requests, and now they are required to notify
the hypervisor about their responses also with an event channel.

Per page operations in the paging, sharing, and access tracking subsystems are
all implemented with domctls (e.g. a domctl to evict one page, or to share one
page).
Under heavy load, the domctl path reveals a lack of scalability. The domctl
lock serializes dom0's vcpus in the hypervisor. When performing thousands of
per-page operations on dozens of domains, these vcpus will spin in the
hypervisor. Beyond the aggressive locking, an added inefficiency of blocking
vcpus in the domctl lock is that dom0 is prevented from re-scheduling any of
its other work-starved processes.
We retain the domctl interface for setting up and tearing down
paging/sharing/mem access for a domain. But we migrate all the per page
operations to use the memory_op hypercalls (e.g XENMEM_*).

This patch is the folded version of API updates, along with the associated tool
changes to ensure that the build is always consistent.
API updates:
- The source domain in the sharing calls is no longer assumed to be dom0.
- Previously, the mem sharing code would return an opaque handle to index
shared pages (and nominees) in its global hash table. By removing the hash
table, the handle becomes a version, to avoid sharing a stale version of a
page. Thus, libxc wrappers and tools need to be updated to recall the share
functions with the information needed to fetch the page (which they readily
have).
Tool updates:
The only (in-tree, that we know of) consumer of the mem sharing API is the
memshr tool. This is updated to use the new API.

Instead of sending dirty pages of guest memory as-is, use a simple compression
algorithm that sends a RLE-encoded XOR of the page against its last sent copy.
A small LRU cache is used to hold recently dirtied pages. Pagetable pages are

receiver.

providing the reference receives no indication that its peer has
crashed, possibly leading to unexpected freezes or timeouts. This

Up to now a single ring buffer was used for mem_share, xenpaging and
xen-access. Each helper would have to cooperate and pull only its own
requests from the ring. Unfortunately this was not implemented. And
even if it was, it would make the whole concept fragile because a crash
or early exit of one helper would stall the others.
What happend up to now is that active xenpaging + memory_sharing would
push memsharing requests in the buffer. xenpaging is not prepared for
such requests.
This patch creates an independet ring buffer for mem_share, xenpaging
and xen-access and adds also new functions to enable xenpaging and
xen-access. The xc_mem_event_enable/xc_mem_event_disable functions will
be removed. The various XEN_DOMCTL_MEM_EVENT_* macros were cleaned up.
Due to the removal the API changed, so the SONAME will be changed too.
