The result of a CPUID Extended Topology Enumeration leaf for PV guests
is invalid as the level in ECX is ignored. This can cause some guests
to loop endlessly when trying to enumerate the topology.
Since the physical topology isn't useful to PV guests set the topology
leaf as unsupported.
Guests affected include Linux kernels prior 2.6.32 where a workaround
was applied ("xen: mask extended topology info in cpu",
82d6469916c6fcfa345636a49004c9d1753905d1).

With our switching away from supporting 32-bit Dom0 operation, users
complained that attempts (perhaps due to lack of knowledge of that
change) to boot the no longer privileged kernel in Dom0 resulted in
apparently silent failure. To make the mismatch explicit and visible,
add feature flags that the kernel can set to indicate operation in
what modes it supports. For backward compatibility, absence of both
feature flags is taken to indicate a kernel that may be capable of
operating in both modes.

.. as there is no need to keep that internal header file anymore.
We export two functions xc_domain_[set|get]_memory_map which
depend on the 'struct e820entry' defined in 'xc_e820.h'.
We move the contents of the 'xc_e820.h' to the 'xenctrl.h' fixing
compiler errors when applications outside the Xen tree are trying
to compile against the libraries.

Bitmaps are used in save/restore, xenpaging and blktap2. Merge the code into a
private xc_bitops.h file. All users are single threaded, so locking is not an
issue. The array of bits is handled as volatile because the x86 save/restore
code passes the bitmap to the hypervisor which in turn modifies the bitmap.
blktap2 uses a private bitmap. There was a possible overflow in the
bitmap_size() function, the remainder was not considered.
ia64 save/restore uses a bitmap to send the number of vcpus to the host.
x86 save/restore uses a bitmap to track dirty pages. This bitmap is shared with
the hypervisor. An unused function count_bits() was removed and a new
bitmap_size() function is now used.
xenpaging uses 3 private bitmaps to track the gfns which are in paged-out
state. It had a copy of some Linux bitops.h, which is now obsolete. Also the
BITS_PER_LONG macro was hardcoded to 64 which made it impossible to run 32bit
tools on a 64bit host. Wether this works at all has to be tested, yet.

To detect presence of superpages on the receiver side, we need
to have strings of sequential pfns sent across on the first iteration
through the memory. However, as we go through the memory, more and
more of it will be marked dirty, making it wasteful to send those pages.
This patch introduces a new PFINFO type, "XALLOC". Like PFINFO_XTAB, it
indicates that there is no corresponding page present in the subsquent
page buffer. However, unlike PFINFO_XTAB, it contains a pfn which should be
allocated.
This new type is only used for migration; but it's placed in
xen/public/domctl.h so that the value isn't reused.

When receiving pages, look for contiguous 2-meg aligned regions and

while implementing core dumping functionality for the libxl driver
of libvirt, I discovered an issue with mapping pages of a pv guest.
After dumping the core of a pv guest the domain was not cleared up
properly and some pages were not unmapped. This issue is similar
to the one reported here:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-05/msg01314.html
In xc_domain_dumpcore_via_callback in the file xc_core.c the function
xc_core_arch_map_p2m is called to map P2M_FL_ENTRIES pages to the variable p2m.
But to unmap the pages later, the dinfo->p2m_size has to be set accordingly.
This was not done, instead a variable named p2m_size was set.
This way P2M_FL_ENTRIES was always zero and the pages were left mapped.
[ This change should be considered for backport to relevant trees. ]

With some help from Olaf, I've finally got to the bottom of an issue I
came across while trying to implement save/restore in the libvirt
libxenlight driver. After issuing the save operation, the saved domain
was not being cleaned up properly and left in this state from xl's
perspective
xen33:# xl list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 6821 8 r----- 122.5
(null) 2 2 2 --pssd 10.8
Checking the libvirtd /proc/$pid/maps I found this
7f3798984000-7f3798b86000 r--s 00002000 00:03 4026532097 /proc/xen/privcmd
So not all all pages belonging to the domain were unmapped from
libvirtd. In tools/libxc/xc_domain_save.c we found that P2M_FL_ENTRIES
were being mapped but only P2M_FLL_ENTRIES were being unmapped. The
attached patch changes the unmapping to use the same P2M_FL_ENTRIES
macro. I'm not too familiar with this code though so posting here for
review.
I suspect this was not noticed before since most (all?) processes doing
save terminate after the save and are not long-running like libvirtd.

The functions which interpret the kernel image supplied for a
paravirtualised guest, and decompress it into memory when booting the
domain, are incautious. Specifically:
(i) Integer overflow in the decompression loop memory allocator might
result in overrunning the buffer used for the decompressed image;
(ii) Integer overflows and lack of checking of certain length fields
can result in the loader reading its own address space beyond the
size of the supplied kernel image file.
(iii) Lack of error checking in the decompression loop can lead to an
infinite loop.
This patch fixes these problems.

This sets a saner default for the cpu-online-map by setting all bits
to 1. The default assumption ought to be that nr-vcpus ==
nr-vcpus-at-start. If that is not true, then the toolstack must modify
the bitmap, but if it is true, the toolstack oughtn't need to do
anything further.
