Andrew Cooper 5cc5b25187 tools: Fix wild memory allocations from c/s 250f0b4 and 85d78b4
These changesets cause the respective libxc functions to unconditonally
dereference their max_cpus/nodes parameters as part of initial memory
allocations.  It will fail at obtaining the correct number of cpus/nodes from
Xen, as the guest handles will not be NULL.

Boris Ostrovsky d2c9475378 sysctl: make XEN_SYSCTL_numainfo a little more efficient
A number of changes to XEN_SYSCTL_numainfo interface:

* Make sysctl NUMA topology query use fewer copies by combining some
  fields into a single structure and copying distances for each node
  in a single copy.
* NULL meminfo and distance handles are a request for maximum number
  of nodes (num_nodes). If those handles are valid and num_nodes is
  is smaller than the number of nodes in the system then -ENOBUFS is
  returned (and correct num_nodes is provided)
* Instead of using max_node_index for passing number of nodes keep this
  value in num_nodes: almost all uses of max_node_index required adding
  or subtracting one to eventually get to number of nodes anyway.
* Replace INVALID_NUMAINFO_ID with XEN_INVALID_MEM_SZ and add
  XEN_INVALID_NODE_DIST.

Boris Ostrovsky 2090f14c5c sysctl: make XEN_SYSCTL_topologyinfo sysctl a little more efficient
A number of changes to XEN_SYSCTL_topologyinfo interface:

* Instead of copying data for each field in xen_sysctl_topologyinfo separately
  put cpu/socket/node into a single structure and do a single copy for each
  processor.
* A NULL cputopo handle passed is a request for maximum number of CPUs
  (num_cpus). If cputopo is valid and num_cpus is smaller than the number of
  CPUs in the system then -ENOBUFS is returned (and correct num_cpus is provided)
* Do not use max_cpu_index, which is almost always used for calculating number
  CPUs (thus requiring adding or subtracting one), replace it with num_cpus.
* There is no need to copy whole op in sysctl to user at the end, we only need
  num_cpus.
* Rename xen_sysctl_topologyinfo and XEN_SYSCTL_topologyinfo to reflect the fact
  that these are used for CPU topology. Subsequent patch will add support for
  PCI topology sysctl.
* Replace INVALID_TOPOLOGY_ID with "XEN_"-prefixed macros for each invalid type
  (core, socket, node).

Andrew Cooper 3f727fb1a7 python/xc: Fix multiple issues in pyflask_context_to_sid()
The error handling from a failed memory allocation should return
PyErr_SetFromErrno(xc_error_obj); rather than simply calling it and continuing
to the memcpy() below, with the dest pointer being NULL.

Coverity also complains about passing a non-NUL terminated string to
xc_flask_context_to_sid().  xc_flask_context_to_sid() doesn't actually take a
NUL terminated string, but it does take a char* which, in context, used to be
a string, which is why Coverity complains.

One solution would be to use strdup(ctx) which is simpler than a
strlen()/malloc()/memcpy() combo, which would result in a NUL-terminated
string being used with xc_flask_context_to_sid().

However, ctx is strictly an input to the hypercall and is not mutated along
the way.  Both these issues can be fixed, and the error logic simplified, by
not duplicating ctx in the first place.

Dario Faggioli 6cc89d3101 libxc: get and set soft and hard affinity
by using the flag and the new cpumap arguments introduced in
the parameters of the DOMCTL_{get,set}_vcpuaffinity hypercalls.

Now, both xc_vcpu_setaffinity() and xc_vcpu_getaffinity() have
a new flag parameter, to specify whether the user wants to
set/get hard affinity, soft affinity or both. They also have
two cpumap parameters instead of only one. This way, it is
possible to set/get both hard and soft affinity at the same
time (and, in case of set, each one to its own value).

In xc_vcpu_setaffinity(), the cpumaps are IN/OUT parameters,
as it is for the corresponding arguments of the
DOMCTL_set_vcpuaffinity hypercall. What Xen puts there is the
hard and soft effective affinity, that is what Xen will actually
use for scheduling.

In-tree callers are also fixed to cope with the new interface.

Juergen Gross 9180abe568 tools: change cpumaps to uint8_t
Cpumap types in tools (libxc and libxl) are changed to be based on bytes like
in the interface to the hypervisor.
To make handling easier the size of used cpumaps is always based on the
number of physical cpus supported by the hypervisor. This eliminates the need
to keep track of the cpumap size in external interfaces.
In libxl a macro for cycling through a cpumap is added (libxl_for_each_cpu).

Interfaces changed:
libxl_set_vcpuaffinity()
libxl_cpumap_alloc()
xc_vcpu_setaffinity()
xc_vcpu_getaffinity()
xc_cpupool_freeinfo()

Ian Campbell 2674a29698 libxc: wrappers for XENMEM {increase,decrease}_reservation and populate_physmap
Currently the wrappers for these hypercalls swallow partial success
and return failure to the caller.

In order to use these functions more widely instead of open-coding
uses of XENMEM_* and xc_memory_op add variants which return the actual
hypercall result.

Therefore add the following functions:
  xc_domain_increase_reservation
  xc_domain_decrease_reservation
  xc_domain_populate_physmap
and implement the existing semantics using these new functions as
  xc_domain_increase_reservation_exact
  xc_domain_decrease_reservation_exact
  xc_domain_populate_physmap_exact
replacing the existing xc_domain_memory_* functions.

Use these new functions to replace all open coded uses of
XENMEM_increase_reservation, XENMEM_decrease_reservation and
XENMEM_populate_physmap.

Also rename xc_domain_memory_*_pod_target to xc_domain_*_pod_target
for consistency.

Temporarily add a compatibility macro for
xc_domain_memory_populate_physmap to allow time for qemu to catch up.

This patch eliminate the global variables in libxenctrl (used for
logging and error reporting).

Instead the information which was in the global variables is now in a
new xc_interface* opaque structure, which xc_interface open returns
instead of the raw file descriptor; furthermore, logging is done via
xentoollog.

There are three new parameters to xc_interface_open to control the
logging, but existing callers can just pass "0" for all three to get
the old behaviour.

All libxc callers have been adjusted accordingly.

Keir Fraser 35d60c59af Increase default console ring allocation size and reduce default verbosity
In order to have better chance that relevant messages fit into the
ring buffer, allocate a dynamic (larger) one in more cases, and make
the default allocation size depend on both the number of CPUs and the
log level. Also free the static buffer if a dynamic one was obtained.

In order for "xm dmesg" to retrieve larger buffers, eliminate
pyxc_readconsolering()'s 32k limitation resulting from the use of a
statically allocated buffer.

Finally, suppress on x86 most per-CPU boot time messages (by default,
most of them can be re-enabled with a new command line option
"cpuinfo", some others are now only printed more than once when there
are inconsistencies between CPUs). This reduces both boot time (namely
when a graphical console is in use) and pressure on the console ring
and serial transmit buffers.

-- currently firmware has got 'vcpus' from xend, this patch add parse
   'vcpu_avail' to firmware;
-- setup madt 'lapic' subitems of processors accoring to vcpus and
   vcpu_avail which finally come from config;

Keir Fraser e45215a3fe xend: Memory pool for pv guest on systems with >128G memory
The main idea of this patch is:

1) The admin sets aside some memory below 128G for 32-bit paravirtual
domain creation (via dom0_mem=-<value> in kernel comand line).

2) The admin also explicitly states to the tools (i..e xend) how much
memory is supposed to be left untouched by 64-bit domains

3) If a 32-bit pv DomU gets created, no ballooning ought to be
necessary (since if it is, no guarantee can be made about the address
range of the memory ballooned out), and memory gets allocated from the
reserved range.

4) Upon 64-bit (or 32-bit HVM or HVM) DomU creation, the tools
determine the amount of memory to be ballooned out of Dom0 by adding
the amount needed for the new guest and the amount still in the
reserved pool (and then of course subtracting the total amount of
memory the hypervisor has available for guest use).

Keir Fraser 08a0b4ab0d Replace tsc_native config option with tsc_mode config option
(NOTE: pvrdtscp mode not finished yet, but all other
modes have been tested so sooner seemed better than
later to submit this fairly major patch so we can get
more mileage on it before next release.)

New tsc_mode config option supercedes tsc_native and
offers a more intelligent default and an additional
option for intelligent apps running on PV domains
("pvrdtscp").

For PV domains, default mode will determine if the initial
host has a "safe"** TSC (meaning it is always synchronized
across all physical CPUs).  If so, all domains will
execute all rdtsc instructions natively; if not,
all domains will emulate all rdtsc instructions but
providing the TSC hertz rate of the initial machine.
After being restored or live-migrated, all PV domains will
emulate all rdtsc instructions.  Hence, this default mode
guarantees correctness while providing native performance
in most conditions.

For PV domains, tsc_mode==1 will always emulate rdtsc
and tsc_mode==2 will never emulate rdtsc.  For tsc_mode==3,
rdtsc will never be emulated, but information is provided
through pvcpuid instructions and rdtscp instructions
so that an app can obtain "safe" pvclock-like TSC information
across save/restore and live migration. (Will be completed in
a follow-on patch.)

For HVM domains, the default mode and "always emulate"
mode do the same as tsc_native==0; the other two modes
do the same as tsc_native==1.  (HVM domains since 3.4
have implemented a tsc_mode=default-like functionality,
but also can preserve native TSC across save/restore
and live-migration IFF the initial and target machines
have a common TSC cycle rate.)

** All newer AMD machines, and Nehalem and future Intel
machines have "Invariant TSC"; many newer Intel machines
have "Constant TSC" and do not support deep-C sleep states;
these and all single-processor machines are "safe".
